1. Ta, Sin, Mim.
2. Here are the signs/wonders/verses of the book that makes a clear statement.
3. For a faithful community, we will recite to you in truth a part of the news on Moses and Pharaoh/the great house.
4. The truth is: Pharaoh ruled over that place and divided its community into groups. He was scorning and oppressing a group of them: He was strangling their sons and treating their women indecently/feeling their women’s wombs/letting their women live. He was truly one of those who spread rottenness.
5. And we want to grant to those who are oppressed and scorned on Earth, that we make them leaders, that we make them inheritors.
6. And that we give them possibility and power/energy/force on Earth. And to Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies, we show what they fear.
7. We revealed to Moses’ mother: “Breastfeed him. When you fear for him, cast him into the river. Don’t be afraid, don’t be sad. Have no doubt, we will return him to you and make him one of the messengers.”
8. Finally, the Pharaoh-family found him as a lost thing, and took him. He was going to be an enemy and a concern to them. The truth is that Pharaoh, Haman, and their armies were on the wrong path.
9. Pharaoh’s wife said: “This is a clarity of the eye for both me and you. Don’t kill him, he can be of use to us, or we can adopt him.” They were not aware of things.
10. But Moses’ mother’s heart was left utterly empty in the morning. She would have disclosed it if we hadn’t given her a bond of the heart so she could remain faithful.
11. His mother told Moses’ sister: “Follow him.” So, she watched him from a distance. Whereas they were not aware of things.
12. Before, we had forbidden milk-mothers for him. Meanwhile, his sister said: “Shall I introduce you to a household that will take care of him for you, and educate and teach him?”
13. Finally, we returned Moses to his own mother, so that the eye of that mother would be comforted/enlightened, that she would not grieve and that she would know that God’s promise is true. But many do not know this.
14. When Moses reached manhood and matured, we gave him wisdom/profundity/hidden cause/reason/mystery and knowledge. This is the way we reward those who think well and act well.
15. When his people were unaware, he entered the city. There, he found two men, fighting. One was of Moses’ people, the other was of his enemies. The one of his own asked Moses for help against his enemy. Moses struck him with one punch and finished him off. He said: “This is a deed of the devil/the astray/distant/corrupt/rebellious/insolent/obstructing/opposing. He is an open enemy that is misleading people.”
16. He called/begged/invoked: “My God, I have wronged my core-self, forgive me,” and God forgave him. He is the Constant Forgiver, he is the Endlessly Loving, Compassionate.
17. He said: “My God, I swear by the blessing you gave me that I will never support evil-doers again.”
18. He sat up all night, terrified, eyes and ears wide open. And suddenly he saw the man who asked for his help yesterday, calling him for help again. Moses said to him: “Clearly, you are a man beyond limits.”
19. When Moses wanted to strike the man who was an enemy to both, he said: “Moses, do you want to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? All you want to be on Earth is a tyrant. You have no intention of being a lover of peace.”
20. From the other side of town, a man came running. He said: “Moses, the famous/important/distinguished persons of the city are planning to kill you. Get out of here! I am a sincere advisor to you.”
21. After this, Moses left the city in fear. He was very alert. He begged/invoked: “My God, save me from this community of cruels.”
22. When he turned towards Midian, he said: “Hopefully, my God will guide me to a purposeful path.”
23. When he reached the water of Midian, he saw a group of people by the water. They were watering their animals. A little further away, he noticed two women keeping back shyly. “What’s the matter with you?” he said. “We can’t water our animals until those shepherds have left. Moreover, our father is an elderly in old age,” they said.
24. So, Moses did their watering for them. Then he stepped into the shade and said: “My God, I am a helplessly awaiting every blessing that you’ll send down on me.”
25. Right at that moment, one of the women came to him, walking timidly. She said: “My father is asking for you, to reward you in return for the watering you have done for us.” When Moses came and told the old man the tale, he said: “Do not be afraid. Now you are saved from the community of cruels.”
26. One of the women said: “Daddy, hire him for a wage. Probably he will be the best of employees, someone strong and reliable.”
27. The old man said: “I wish to marry you to one of my two daughters if you agree to work for me for eight years. If you complete it to ten, that’s up to you. I don’t have the intention to give you trouble. If God wills, you’ll find me one of the lovers of peace and goodness.”
28. Moses said: “This is between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I complete, there will be no hard feelings! God is the Guardian/Representative of those who surrender/One with the last word and authority of what we are discussing here.”
29. When Moses finished the term and departed with his family, he noticed a fire from the side of Mount Sinai. He told his family: “Wait, I noticed a fire. Maybe I’ll bring you news from it, maybe I’ll bring you a glowing piece of fire so you can warm yourselves.”
30. When he arrived there, from the right side of the valley on that fertile piece of land, he was called from a tree: “Moses, verily I am God, the Sustainer of the worlds.”
31. “Throw your staff down.” Seeing his staff trembling and twisting as an agile snake, he turned away; he didn’t even look back. “Come back, Moses. Don’t be afraid. You are of the safe/secure ones.”
32. “Put your hand in your bosom, and it will come out white and flawless. Pull in your arms that you have thrown out in fear. These are two evidences for you from your God against Pharaoh and his big chiefs. They truly are a stray mob.”
33. Moses said: “My God, I killed one of them, that’s why I am afraid that they will kill me.
34. My brother Aaron is more effective in the language/is a more eloquent speaker than I. Send him with me as a helper so that he will acknowledge/affirm me. I am afraid that they will deny me.”
35. God said: “We will strengthen your biceps with your brother; we will give you such strength/evidence that they will not be able to reach you. By our signs/wonders/verses, you and those who follow you will be the victorious ones.”
36. After that, when Moses brought them our clear signs/wonders/verses, they said: “This is nothing but a made-up magic. We never heard of it among our early ancestors.”
37. Moses said: “My God knows better who brings guidance from Himself, and to whom this land will belong in the end. The cruel ones certainly do not flourish.”
38. Pharaoh said: “Distinctive chiefs! I don’t know any god for you but me. Haman! Light the furnace on the mud for me and build me a tower so that I can reach the god of Moses. Actually, I think he is a liar.”
39. He and his armies were wrongly arrogant on Earth, and they thought that they wouldn’t be returned to us.
40. So, we caught him and his soldiers and threw them all into the water. See how the end of the cruels came!
41. We made them leaders who invite to fire. They will not receive help on the day of resurrection.
42. And in this worldly life, we have affixed a curse behind them. On the day of resurrection, they will be among the ones that become ugly.
43. Certainly, we gave Moses the Book after we destroyed the first generations; We gave it to humans as enlightenment, guidance, and mercy, so that they may contemplate and take advice.
44. When we revealed that command to Moses, you weren’t on the west side; nor were you among the witnesses of the event.
45. But we created many generations, and lives have streamed away over them. You were not among the people of Midian and reciting our signs/wonders/verses to them. But we were the Senders of messengers.
46. And you were not on the side of Mount Sinai when we called. You are a mercy from your God to warn a community to whom no warner came before you. Like this, it is hoped that they will contemplate and take advice.
47. When they encounter calamity because of what their own hands have prepared beforehand, they will immediately say: “Our God, why haven’t you sent us a messenger so that we could have followed your signs/wonders/verses and become believers!”
48. But when truth came to them from us, they said: “Why wasn’t this one given the same as Moses?” Did they not deny what was given to Moses before? They said: “These are two spells supporting each other/two wizards that got each other’s back.” And they said: “We don’t believe in either of them.”
49. Say: “If you are truthful, bring a book from God that is more luminous than these two, and I will follow it.”
50. If they cannot answer you, then know that they are only following their temporary desires. Who is more astray than he who follows his own desires without guidance of God? God does not guide the cruels.
51. Certainly, we have brought the word for them, one after another, so that they may contemplate and take advice.
52. Those who we gave the Book before, will also have faith in this one.
53. When it is read to them, they will say: “We believe in this, it is a truth that came from our God. We were already the ones that give in to God.
54. They will be rewarded twice, for being patient. They meet and repel evil with good. And they share with others the blessings and opportunities out of the nourishment we have given them.
55. When they hear empty talk, they turn away from it and say: “Our actions are for us, your actions are for you. Peace be upon you all. We do not seek the ignorant.”
56. It’s a fact that you cannot guide who you care about to the right path. But God guides whomever He wants/whoever wants it. He knows best who will be guided.
57. They said: “If we follow you, we will lose our home, our homeland.” Haven’t we placed them in a safe, respectable place where all kinds of produce that come from us is brought as a nourishment? But most of them do not know.
58. We have destroyed many cities where life had led to spoiling and showiness. Here are their homelands! After them, there has been very little inhabitance there. Indeed, we are the power to which all property and reigns are finally handed over/the inheritors.
59. Your God will not destroy lands/civilizations before sending a messenger who recites our signs/wonders/verses to them in their main center. We will not destroy lands/civilizations, as long as their people don’t turn into cruels/oppressors.
60. The things you have been given are only benefits and ornaments of this temporary life. What is with God is better and more permanent. Will you still not use your intellect?
61. Can the person whom we made a good promise, and whom then received it, be like the one whom we blessed with the benefits of this temporary/current/closest life, and afterwards will stand before us on the day of resurrection?
62. On that day, God will call them and say: “Where are My associates of whom you thought they were something?”
63. Those for whom judgement has become truth will say: “Our God, these are the ones we have led astray! We have led them astray just as we have gone astray ourselves. We declare to you that we distance ourselves from them. We weren’t the only ones they were serving/worshipping anyway!”
64. It will be said: “Call your associates.” And they will call them. But the others will not be able to answer. They have seen the suffering. If only they would have gone the straight path.
65. On that day, God will call out to them and say: “What answer did you give the messengers of Truth?”
66. On that day, all information will be obscure to them. Neither can they ask one another something.
67. But the one who asks for forgiveness, who believes and does/produces things for good and peace, has the hope to be among the successful/survivors/preserved.
68. Your God creates and chooses what He wants. The choice is not theirs/they don’t have the right to choose. God is exalted and purified from what they associate Him with.
69. And your God knows what their chests conceal and what they reveal.
70. He is God. There is no deity but Him. Praise be to Him alone, both in the first and the last. The judgement is His alone/only for Him. And you will be returned to Him alone.
71. Say: “Tell me, if God would make the night perpetuate over you, until the day of resurrection, what other deity but God could bring you light? Will you still not listen?”
72. Say: “Tell me, if God kept the day continuous on you, until the day of resurrection, which deity but God could give you a night in which you can find rest? Will you still not see?”
73. As a manifestation of His mercy, He created the night and the day for you, so that you may find rest in it, that you ask for something from His grace and be thankful.
74. One day, He will call out to them and say: “Where are those partners of Mine, that you think so highly of?”
75. We brought forth a witness from every community and said: “Bring your undeniable proof.” Thereupon, they knew that the truth belongs to God. The things that they were using to slander had left them and disappeared.
76. It’s also a fact that Korah was from the people of Moses. He became spoiled/went beyond limits towards them. We had given him such treasures that carrying its keys was challenging even for a band of strong men. His people had said to him: “Don’t get spoiled because God does not like the spoiled.
77. Seek the home of the hereafter in what God has given you. Also, do not forget your share of the current/closest world. Treat others kindly as God has treated you kindly/favor others as God has favored you. Don’t wish rottenness on Earth because God does not like seekers of rottenness.”
78. He said: “This wealth has been given to me because of my knowledge.” Didn’t he know that God even destroyed in previous generations those who were stronger and more numerous than him? The sinners will not be questioned about what their sins were.
79. Korah appeared before his community in all his adornment. Those who aimed for the temporary life of the current/closest world, said: “Ah, if only we were given the same as was given to Korah! He is indeed a very fortunate man.”
80. Those who were given knowledge, said: “Shame on you. For the one who has faith and does/produces things for good and peace, God’s reward is better. But only the patient ones will reach it.
81. Finally, we let the Earth swallow up Korah and his palace. He didn’t have any followers who could help him against God. Neither could he save himself.
82. Those who had envied his rank/position in the evening, in the morning were saying: “Wow! God opens and expands his nourishment to whomever he wishes among his servants, and measures/reduces it for whomever he wishes. Had God not favored us, he would have caused it to swallow us, too. Apparently, the deniers never flourish.”
83. That is the home of the hereafter. We give it to those who on Earth do not act superior and do not seek rottenness. The result is for those who are careful/cautions/wary/refraining.
84. For those who bring goodness/beauty there is something better. As for those who bring evil: those who’ve done evil will not repay for more than what they have done.
85. The One who commanded this recitation upon you will surely take you to the promised place/determined end. Say: “My God knows best who brings guidance and who is in clear manifest error.”
86. You did not expect this book to be revealed to you; it came as a mercy from your God. So, do not support the ungrateful/deniers who cover up the truth.
87. Do not let yourself turn away from God’s signs/wonders/verses after they have been revealed to you. Call to/beg to/invoke your God. Do not engage in idolatry.
88. Do not worship/invoke another deity. There is no deity but Him. Everything will be destroyed except for His face. The judgement is His alone and to Him you will be returned.
