Sra Vii.: A
'Rf, Or The Heights

Section 17

142.
WawaAAadna moosa thalatheena laylatan waatmamnaha biAAashrin fatamma meeqatu rabbihi arbaAAeena laylatan waqala moosa li-akheehi haroona okhlufnee fee qawmee waaslih wala tattabiAA sabeela almufsideenA

142.
We appointed for Moses

Thirty nights, and completed

(The period) with ten (more):

Thus was completed the term

(Of communion) with his Lord,

Forty nights. And Moses

Had charged his brother Aaron

(Before he went up):


"Act for me amongst my people:

Do right, and follow not

The way of those

Who do mischief."

143.
Walamma jaa moosa limeeqatina wakallamahu rabbuhu qala rabbi arinee an"th"ur ilayka qala lan taranee walakini on"th"ur ila aljabali fa-ini istaqarra makanahu fasawfa taranee falamma tajalla rabbuhu liljabali jaAAalahu dakkan wakharra moosa saAAiqan falamma afaqa qala subhanaka tubtu ilayka waana awwalu almu/mineenA

143.
When Moses came

To the place appointed by Us,

And his Lord addressed him,

He said: "O my Lord!

Show (Thyself) to me,

That I may look upon Thee."

God said, "By no means

Canst thou see Me (direct);

But look upon the mount;

If it abide

In its place, then

Shalt thou see Me."

When his Lord manifested

His glory on the Mount,

He made it as dust,

And Moses fell down

In a swoon. When he

Recovered his senses he said:


"Glory be to Thee! To Thee

I turn in repentance, and I

Am the first to believe."

144.
Qala ya moosa innee istafaytuka AAala aLnnasi birisalatee wabikalamee fakhuth ma ataytuka wakun mina aLshshakireenA

144.
(God) said: "O Moses!

I have chosen thee

Above (other) men,

By the mission I (have

Given thee
) and the words

I (have spoken to thee):


Take then the (revelation)

Which I give thee,

And be of those

Who give thanks."

145.
Wakatabna lahu fee al-alwahi min kulli shay-in mawAAi"th"atan watafseelan likulli shay-in fakhuthha biquwwatin wa/mur qawmaka ya/khuthoo bi-ahsaniha saoreekum dara alfasiqeenA

145.
And We ordained laws

For him in the Tablets

In all matters, both

Commanding and explaining

All things, (and said):


"Take and hold these

With firmness, and enjoin

Thy people to hold fast

By the best in the precepts:


Soon shall I show you

The homes of the wicked,--

(How they lie desolate)."

146.
Saasrifu AAan ayatiya allatheena yatakabbaroona fee al-ardi bighayri alhaqqi wa-in yaraw kulla ayatin la yu/minoo biha wa-in yaraw sabeela aLrrushdi la yattakhithoohu sabeelan wa-in yaraw sabeela alghayyi yattakhithoohu sabeelan thalika bi-annahum kaththaboo bi-ayatina wakanoo AAanha ghafileenA

146.
Those who behave arrogantly

On the earth in defiance

Of right--them will I

Turn away from My Signs:


Even if they see all the Signs,

They will not believe in them;

And if they see the way

Of right conduct, they will

Not adopt it as the Way;

But if they see the way

Of error, that is

The Way they will adopt.

For they have rejected

Our Signs, and failed

To take warning from them.

147.
WaAllatheena kaththaboo bi-ayatina waliqa-i al-akhirati habitat aAAmaluhum hal yujzawna illa ma kanoo yaAAmaloonA

147.
Those who reject Our Signs

And the Meeting in the Hereafter,--

Vain are their deeds:

Can they expect to be rewarded

Except as they have wrought?
