71. So they both proceeded:


Until, when they were

In the boat, he scuttled it.

Said Moses: "Hast thou

Scuttled it in order

To drown those in it?

Truly a strange thing

Hast thou done!
"

72. Qala alam aqul innaka lan tastateeAAa maAAiya sabraN

He answered: "Did I not

Tell thee that thou canst

Have no patience with me?
"

73. Qala la tu-akhithnee bima naseetu wala turhiqnee min amree AAusraN

Moses said: "Rebuke me not

For forgetting, nor grieve me

By raising difficulties

In my case.
"

74. FaIntalaqa hatta itha laqiya ghulaman faqatalahu qala aqatalta nafsan zakiyyatan bighayri nafsin laqad ji/ta shay-an nukraN

74. Then they proceeded:


Until, when they met

A young man, he slew him.

Moses said: "Hast thou

Slain an innocent person

Who had slain none?

Truly a foul (unheard-of) thing

Hast thou done!
"

75. Qala alam aqul laka innaka lan tastateeAAa maAAiya sabraN

75.
He answered, "Did I not

Tell thee that thou canst

Have no patience with me?

(Moses) said: "If ever I

Ask thee about anything

After this, keep me not

In thy company: then wouldst

Thou have received (full) excuse

From my side.

77. Then they proceeded:


Until, when they came

To the inhabitants of a town,

They asked them for food,

But they refused them

Hospitality. They found there

A wall on the point of

Falling down, but he

Set it up straight.

(Moses) said: "If thou

Hadst wished, surely thou

Couldst have exacted some

Recompense for it!
"

78. Qala hatha firaqu baynee wabaynika saonabbi-oka bita/weeli ma lam tastatiAA AAalayhi sabraN

78.
He answered: "This is

The parting between me

And thee: now will I

Tell thee the interpretation

Of (those things) over which

Thou wast unable

To hold patience.

79.
Amma aLssafeenatu fakanat limasakeena yaAAmaloona fee albahri faaradtu an aAAeebaha wakana waraahum malikun ya/khuthu kulla safeenatin ghasbaN

79.
\"As for the boat,

It belonged to certain

Men in dire want:


They plied on the water:

I but wished to render it

Unserviceable, for there was

After them a certain king

Who seized on every boat

By force.

80.
Waamma alghulamu fakana abawahu mu/minayni fakhasheena an yurhiqahuma tughyanan wakufraN

80.
\"As for the youth,

His parents were people

Of Faith, and we feared

That he would grieve them

By obstinate rebellion

And ingratitude (to God and man).

81.
Faaradna an yubdilahuma rabbuhuma khayran minhu zakatan waaqraba ruhmaN

81.
\"So we desired that

Their Lord would give them

In exchange (a son)

Better in purity (of conduct)

And closer in affection.

82.
Waamma aljidaru fakana lighulamayni yateemayni fee almadeenati wakana tahtahu kanzun lahuma wakana aboohuma salihan faarada rabbuka an yablugha ashuddahuma wayastakhrija kanzahuma rahmatan min rabbika wama faAAaltuhu AAan amree thalika ta/weelu ma lam tastiAA AAalayhi sabraN

82.
\"As for the wall,

It belonged to two youths,

Orphans, in the Town;

There was, beneath it,

A buried treasure, to which

They were entitled; their father

Had been a righteous man:

So thy Lord desired that

They should attain their age

Of full strength and get out

Their treasure--a mercy

(And favour) from thy Lord.

I did it not of my own

Accord. Such is the interpretation

Of (those things) over which

Thou wast unable

To hold patience."
