وَ اتْلُ عَلَیْهِمْ نَبَاَ نُوْحٍ ۘ اِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهٖ یٰقَوْمِ اِنْ كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّقَامِیْ وَ تَذْكِیْرِیْ بِاٰیٰتِ اللّٰهِ فَعَلَی اللّٰهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَاَجْمِعُوْۤا اَمْرَكُمْ وَ شُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا یَكُنْ اَمْرُكُمْ عَلَیْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ اقْضُوْۤا اِلَیَّ وَ لَا تُنْظِرُوْنِ۝۷۱

Recount to them the story of Noah when he said to his people: "O people, if you find my staying with you and warning through God´s signs, unbearable to you, know that I have reposed my trust in God. So plan your move, and call your associates, and make certain of your plan; then do whatever you intend against me, allowing me no respite.

فَاِنْ تَوَلَّیْتُمْ فَمَا سَاَلْتُكُمْ مِّنْ اَجْرٍ ؕ اِنْ اَجْرِیَ اِلَّا عَلَی اللّٰهِ ۙ وَ اُمِرْتُ اَنْ اَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِیْنَ۝۷۲

If you turn away from me (remember) I do not ask any recompense from you. My reward is with God; I have been commanded to be one of those who submit to Him."

فَكَذَّبُوْهُ فَنَجَّیْنٰهُ وَ مَنْ مَّعَهٗ فِی الْفُلْكِ وَ جَعَلْنٰهُمْ خَلٰٓىِٕفَ وَ اَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِیْنَ كَذَّبُوْا بِاٰیٰتِنَا ۚ فَانْظُرْ كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنْذَرِیْنَ۝۷۳

Even then they denied him; so We saved him and those with him, in the ark, and established them in the land, and drowned those who denied Our signs. So think of the fate of those who were warned (and took no heed).

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ رُسُلًا اِلٰی قَوْمِهِمْ فَجَآءُوْهُمْ بِالْبَیِّنٰتِ فَمَا كَانُوْا لِیُؤْمِنُوْا بِمَا كَذَّبُوْا بِهٖ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَطْبَعُ عَلٰی قُلُوْبِ الْمُعْتَدِیْنَ۝۷۴

Afterwards We sent many messengers who brought clear proofs to their peoples. But they were not prepared to believe what they had once denied. That is how We seal the hearts of the iniquitous.

ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهِمْ مُّوْسٰی وَ هٰرُوْنَ اِلٰی فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَلَاۡىِٕهٖ بِاٰیٰتِنَا فَاسْتَكْبَرُوْا وَ كَانُوْا قَوْمًا مُّجْرِمِیْنَ۝۷۵

Then after them We sent Moses and Aaron with Our signs to the Pharaoh and his nobles; but they behaved arrogantly, for they were a people full of guilt.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِنَا قَالُوْۤا اِنَّ هٰذَا لَسِحْرٌ مُّبِیْنٌ۝۷۶

Thus, when the truth had come to them from Us, they said: "Surely this is nothing but pure magic."

قَالَ مُوْسٰۤی اَتَقُوْلُوْنَ لِلْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَآءَكُمْ ؕ اَسِحْرٌ هٰذَا ؕ وَ لَا یُفْلِحُ السّٰحِرُوْنَ۝۷۷

"You say this of the truth," said Moses, "after it has come to you. Is this magic? But sorcerers do not ever prosper."

قَالُوْۤا اَجِئْتَنَا لِتَلْفِتَنَا عَمَّا وَجَدْنَا عَلَیْهِ اٰبَآءَنَا وَ تَكُوْنَ لَكُمَا الْكِبْرِیَآءُ فِی الْاَرْضِ ؕ وَ مَا نَحْنُ لَكُمَا بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ۝۷۸

"Have you come," said they, "to turn us back from what we found our ancestors doing, so that the two of you may attain supremacy in the land? We shall not believe in what you say.

وَ قَالَ فِرْعَوْنُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِكُلِّ سٰحِرٍ عَلِیْمٍ۝۷۹

"Bring the cleverest magicians to me," said the Pharaoh.

فَلَمَّا جَآءَ السَّحَرَةُ قَالَ لَهُمْ مُّوْسٰۤی اَلْقُوْا مَاۤ اَنْتُمْ مُّلْقُوْنَ۝۸۰

So when the magicians arrived, Moses said to them: "Cast whatever (spell) you have to cast."
