اِنَّ فِرۡعَوۡنَ عَلَا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَجَعَلَ اَهۡلَهَا شِيَـعًا يَّسۡتَضۡعِفُ طَآٮِٕفَةً مِّنۡهُمۡ يُذَبِّحُ اَبۡنَآءَهُمۡ وَيَسۡتَحۡىٖ نِسَآءَهُمۡ​ ؕ اِنَّهٗ كَانَ مِنَ الۡمُفۡسِدِيۡنَ‏ ٤

Indeed Pharaoh transgressed in the land and divided its people into sections. One group of them he humiliated, and slew their sons and spared their daughters. Truly he was among the mischief-makers.

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Waqia yeh hai ke Firoun ne zameen mein sarkashi ki aur uske bashindon ko girohon mein taseem kardiya, un mein se ek giroh ko woh zaleel karta tha, iske ladkon ko qatal karta aur uski ladkiyon ko jeeta (zinda) rehne deta tha. Fil waqai woh mufsid (mischief-makers) logon mein se tha

We wanted to bestow favour on those who were oppressed in the land. We wanted to make them leaders and heirs

We suggested to the mother of Moses: "Suckle your child, but when you fear for his life cast him into the river and be not fearful nor grieve, for We shall restore him to you and make him one of the Messengers."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Humne Moosa ki Maa ko ishara kiya ke “Isko doodh pila, phir jab tujhey uski jaan ka khatra ho to isey dariya mein daal de aur kuch khauf aur gham na kar, hum isey terey hi paas wapas le aayenge, aur isko paighambaron mein shamil karenge”

Then Pharaoh's household picked him up (from the river) that he may be their adversary and be a cause of sorrow to them. Surely Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts erred (in their scheming).

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Aakhir e kaar Firoun ke ghar walon ne usey (dariya se) nikal liya taa-ke woh unka dushman aur unke liye sabab e ranj baney. Waqayi Firoun aur Hamaan aur uske lashkar (apni tadbeer mein ) baday galat-kaar thay

Firoun ki biwi ne (ussey) kaha “yeh mere aur tere liye aankhon ki thandak hai, isey qatal na karo, kya ajab ke yeh hamare liye mufeed saabit ho, ya hum isey beta hi bana lein.” Aur woh (anjaam se) bekhabar thay

On the other hand, the heart of Moses' mother was sorely distressed. Had We not strengthened her heart that she might have full faith (in Our promise), she would have disclosed the secret.

Thus did We restore Moses to his mother that her eyes might be comforted and she might not grieve, and realise that the promise of Allah was true. But most people are unaware of this.

Once he entered the city at a time when its people were heedless, and he encountered two men fighting, one of whom belonged to his own people and the other to his foes. Now the man belonging to Moses' own people cried out to him for help against the man from the foes, and Moses struck him with his fist and finished him. Moses said: "This is an act of Satan. Surely he is an enemy who openly misleads."

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

(Ek roz) woh shehar mein aisey waqt mein dakhil hua jabke ehle shehar gaflat mein thay.

The next morning he proceeded to the city in fear and looking around as one apprehensive of danger when all of a sudden, the man who had sought his help the day before again called out to him for his help. Moses said to him: "Clearly, you are a very misguided fellow."

Phir jab Moosa ne irada kiya ke dushman qaum ke aadmi par hamla karey to woh pukar uttha “Aey Moosa , kya aaj tu mujhey usi tarah qatal karne laga hai jis tarah kal ek shaks ko qatal kar chuka hai, tu is mulk mein jabbar ban kar rehna chahta hai, Islaah nahin karna chahta”

Then a man came running from the farther end of the city and said: "O Moses, the nobles are deliberating about you that they may put you to death. So do be gone. I am one of your well-wishers."

When he arrived at the spring of Midian, he found there a crowd of people watering their flocks, and he found apart from them two women holding their flocks back.

Moses replied: "So that is agreed between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, I trust that I shall not be wronged. Allah is a witness over the covenant we are committing ourselves to."

Mossa ne jawab diya “yeh baat mere aur aapke darmiyan tai ho gayi.In dono muddaton mein se jo bhi main poori kardoon uske baad phir koi zyadati mujhpar na ho, aur jo kuch qaul o qaraar hum kar rahey hain Allah uspar nigehbaan hai.”

When Moses had fulfilled the term and was journeying with his family, he perceived a fire in the direction of the Mount (Sinai). He said to his family: "Wait here; I have observed a fire. Maybe I will bring to you some news or a brand of fire from there that you may warm yourselves."

وَمَاۤ اُوۡتِيۡتُمۡ مِّنۡ شَىۡءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا وَزِيۡنَـتُهَا​ ۚ وَمَا عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ خَيۡرٌ وَّاَبۡقٰى​ ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ‏ ٦٠

Whatever you have been given is a provision for the life of this world and its glitter. But that which is with Allah is better and more enduring. Do you not use your intellect?

— A. Maududi (English Tafhim commentary)

Tum logon ko jo kuch bhi diya gaya hai woh mehaz duniya ki zindagi ka samaan aur uski zeenat(adornment) hai, aur jo kuch Allah ke paas hai woh issey behtar aur baaqi tar hai. Kya tum log aqal se kaam nahin letay

اَفَمَنۡ وَّعَدۡنٰهُ وَعۡدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيۡهِ كَمَنۡ مَّتَّعۡنٰهُ مَتَاعَ الۡحَيٰوةِ الدُّنۡيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوۡمَ الۡقِيٰمَةِ مِنَ الۡمُحۡضَرِيۡنَ‏  ٦١

Now, he to whom We have promised a good which he is going to obtain � can he be like him whom We have given the good things of this life, but who will be brought up for punishment on the Day of Judgement?

Bhala woh shaks jissey humne accha wada kiya ho, aur woh usey panay wala ho kabhi us shaks ki tarah ho sakta hai jisey humne sirf hayat-e-duniya ka sar-o-samaan de diya ho, aur phir woh qayamat ke roz saza ke liye pesh kiya janey wala ho

قَالَ الَّذِيۡنَ حَقَّ عَلَيۡهِمُ الۡقَوۡلُ رَبَّنَا هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ الَّذِيۡنَ اَغۡوَيۡنَا ۚ اَغۡوَيۡنٰهُمۡ كَمَا غَوَيۡنَا​ ۚ تَبَـرَّاۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ​ مَا كَانُوۡۤا اِيَّانَا يَعۡبُدُوۡنَ‏ ٦٣

Yeh qaul jinpar chaspan hoga woh kahenge “Aey hamare Rubb, beshak yahi log hain jinko humne gumraah kiya tha, inhein humne usi tarah gumraah kiya jaise hum khud gumraah huey. Hum aap ke saamne baraat(disassociation) ka izhar karte hain. Yeh hamari to bandagi nahin karte thay”
