یٰقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الْاَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِیْ كَتَبَ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ وَ لَا تَرْتَدُّوْا عَلٰۤی اَدْبَارِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوْا خٰسِرِیْنَ۝۲۱

Enter then, my people, the Holy Land that God has ordained for you, and do not turn back, or you will suffer."

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنَّ فِیْهَا قَوْمًا جَبَّارِیْنَ ۖۗ وَ اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَا حَتّٰی یَخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا ۚ فَاِنْ یَّخْرُجُوْا مِنْهَا فَاِنَّا دٰخِلُوْنَ۝۲۲

They said: "O Moses, in that land live a people who are formidable; we shall never go there until they leave. We shall enter when they go away."

قَالَ رَجُلٰنِ مِنَ الَّذِیْنَ یَخَافُوْنَ اَنْعَمَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْهِمَا ادْخُلُوْا عَلَیْهِمُ الْبَابَ ۚ فَاِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوْهُ فَاِنَّكُمْ غٰلِبُوْنَ ۚ۬ وَ عَلَی اللّٰهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوْۤا اِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۲۳

Then two of the men who feared (God), and to whom God was gracious, said to them: "Charge and rush the gate. If you enter, you will surely be victorious. And place your trust in God if you truly believe."

قَالُوْا یٰمُوْسٰۤی اِنَّا لَنْ نَّدْخُلَهَاۤ اَبَدًا مَّا دَامُوْا فِیْهَا فَاذْهَبْ اَنْتَ وَ رَبُّكَ فَقَاتِلَاۤ اِنَّا هٰهُنَا قٰعِدُوْنَ۝۲۴

They said: "O Moses, we shall never, never enter so long as they are there. Go you and your Lord to fight them; we stay here."

قَالَ رَبِّ اِنِّیْ لَاۤ اَمْلِكُ اِلَّا نَفْسِیْ وَ اَخِیْ فَافْرُقْ بَیْنَنَا وَ بَیْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۝۲۵

Said (Moses): "O Lord, I have control over none but myself and my brother; so distinguish between us and these, the wicked people."

قَالَ فَاِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَیْهِمْ اَرْبَعِیْنَ سَنَةً ۚ یَتِیْهُوْنَ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ فَلَا تَاْسَ عَلَی الْقَوْمِ الْفٰسِقِیْنَ۠۝۲۶

(And God) said: "Then verily this land is forbidden them for forty years, and they shall wander perplexed over the earth. So do not grieve for these, the wicked people."

وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ ابْنَیْ اٰدَمَ بِالْحَقِّ ۘ اِذْ قَرَّبَا قُرْبَانًا فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ اَحَدِهِمَا وَ لَمْ یُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْاٰخَرِ ؕ قَالَ لَاَقْتُلَنَّكَ ؕ قَالَ اِنَّمَا یَتَقَبَّلُ اللّٰهُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِیْنَ۝۲۷

Narrate to them exactly the tale of the two sons of Adam. When each of them offered a sacrifice (to God), that of one was accepted, and that of the other was not. Said (the one): "I will murder you," and the other replied: "God only accepts from those who are upright and preserve themselves from evil.

لَىِٕنْۢ بَسَطْتَّ اِلَیَّ یَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِیْ مَاۤ اَنَا بِبَاسِطٍ یَّدِیَ اِلَیْكَ لِاَقْتُلَكَ ۚ اِنِّیْۤ اَخَافُ اللّٰهَ رَبَّ الْعٰلَمِیْنَ۝۲۸

If you raise your hand to kill me, I will raise not mine to kill you, for I fear God, the Lord of all the worlds;

اِنِّیْۤ اُرِیْدُ اَنْ تَبُوْٓءَاۡ بِاِثْمِیْ وَ اِثْمِكَ فَتَكُوْنَ مِنْ اَصْحٰبِ النَّارِ ۚ وَ ذٰلِكَ جَزٰٓؤُا الظّٰلِمِیْنَۚ۝۲۹

I would rather you suffered the punishment for sinning against me, and for your own sin, and became an inmate of Hell. And that is the requital for the unjust."

فَطَوَّعَتْ لَهٗ نَفْسُهٗ قَتْلَ اَخِیْهِ فَقَتَلَهٗ فَاَصْبَحَ مِنَ الْخٰسِرِیْنَ۝۳۰

Then the other was induced by his passion to murder his brother, and he killed him, and became one of the damned.
