قَالُوا۟
They said,
يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ
"O Musa!
إِمَّآ
Either
أَن
[that]
تُلْقِىَ
you throw
وَإِمَّآ
or
أَن
[that]
نَّكُونَ
we will be
أَوَّلَ
the first
مَنْ
who
أَلْقَىٰ
throws?"
قَالَ
He said,
بَلْ
"Nay,
أَلْقُوا۟ you throw." فَإِذَا Then behold! حِبَالُهُمْ Their ropes وَعِصِيُّهُمْ and their staffs يُخَيَّلُ seemed إِلَيْهِ to him مِن by سِحْرِهِمْ their magic أَنَّهَا that they
تَسْعَىٰ (were) moving. فَأَوْجَسَ So sensed فِى in نَفْسِهِۦ himself خِيفَةً a fear, مُّوسَىٰ Musa. قُلْنَا We said, لَا "(Do) not تَخَفْ fear. إِنَّكَ Indeed, you
أَنتَ you ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ (will be) superior. وَأَلْقِ And throw مَا what فِى (is) in يَمِينِكَ your right hand; تَلْقَفْ it will swallow up مَا what صَنَعُوٓا۟ they have made. إِنَّمَا Only صَنَعُوا۟ they (have) made
كَيْدُ a trick سَٰحِرٍ (of) a magician وَلَا and not يُفْلِحُ will be successful ٱلسَّاحِرُ the magician حَيْثُ wherever أَتَىٰ he comes." فَأُلْقِىَ So were thrown down ٱلسَّحَرَةُ the magicians سُجَّدًا prostrating.
قَالُوٓا۟ They said, ءَامَنَّا "We believe بِرَبِّ in (the) Lord هَٰرُونَ (of) Harun وَمُوسَىٰ and Musa." قَالَ He said, ءَامَنتُمْ "You believe لَهُۥ [to] him قَبْلَ before أَنْ [that] ءَاذَنَ I gave permission
لَكُمْ to you. إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, he لَكَبِيرُكُمُ (is) your chief, ٱلَّذِى the one who عَلَّمَكُمُ taught you ٱلسِّحْرَ the magic. فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ So surely I will cut off أَيْدِيَكُمْ your hands
