They said: "O Moses! while they remain there, never shall we be able to enter, to the end of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch)."

Thy Lord is self-sufficient, full of Mercy: if it were His will, He could destroy you, and in your place appoint whom He will as your successors, even as He raised you up from the posterity of other people.

Of them there are some who believe therein, and some who do not: and thy Lord knoweth best those who are out for mischief.

And it is your Lord that knoweth best all beings that are in the heavens and on earth: We did bestow on some prophets more (and other) gifts than on others: and We gave to David (the gift of) the Psalms.

But your Lord is Most forgiving, full of Mercy. If He were to call them (at once) to account for what they have earned, then surely He would have hastened their punishment: but they have their appointed time, beyond which they will find no refuge.

Thy Lord does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to Allah! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to Him)!

And thy Lord knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal.

But he had no authority over them,- except that We might test the man who believes in the Hereafter from him who is in doubt concerning it: and thy Lord doth watch over all things.

Proclaim! And thy Lord is Most Bountiful,-

他们说：“穆萨啊！他们在圣地的期间，我们绝不进去。你和你的主去作战吧！我们必定要坐在这里。”

你的主是自足的，是仁慈的。如果他意欲，他就使你们消逝，而以他所意欲的人继承你们，犹如从别的民族的后裔中使你们兴起一样。

他们中有信它的，有不信它的。你的主是知道作恶者的。

你的主是知道天地万物的。我确已使一部分先知超越另一部分；我曾以经典赏赐达五德。

你的主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。假若他为他们所犯的罪恶而惩治他们，那末，他必为他们而促进刑罚的来临，但他们有个定期，他们对那个定期，绝不能获得一个避难所。

你的主，创造他所意欲的，选择他所意欲的，他们没有选择的权利。赞颂真主，超绝万物，他超乎他们所用来配他的。

你的主知道他们的胸中所隐藏的和他们（的口头）所表白的。

他对他们所以有权力者，只为我要辨别谁是信仰后世的，谁是怀疑后世的。你的主，是万物的监护者。

你应当宣读，你的主是最尊严的，
