وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَى لِقَوْمِهِ یَـقَوْمِ اذْکُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللهِ عَلَیْکُمْ إِذْ جَعَلَ فِیکُمْ أَنبِیَآءَ وَجَعَلَکُم مُّلُوکاً وَءَاتَـکُم مَّا لَمْ یُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِّنَ الْعَـلَمِینَ (20)
20- AND (REMEMBER) WHEN MOSES SAID TO HIS PEOPLE:- O, MY PEOPLE! REMEMBER THE FAVOUR OF ALLAH UPON YOU, WHEN HE RAISED PROPHETS AMONG YOU, AND MADE YOU, YOUR OWNERS AND GAVE YOU WHAT, HE HAD NOT GIVEN TO ANYONE AMONG THE NATIONS.
یَـقَوْمِ ادْخُلُوا الاَْرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِى کَتَبَ اللهُ لَکُمْ وَلاَ تَرْتَدُّوا عَلَى أَدْبَآرِکُمْ فَتَنقَلِبُوا خَسِرِین(21)
21- O, MY PEOPLE! ENTER THE HOLY LAND WHICH ALLAH HAS PRESCRIBED FOR YOU, AND TURN NOT ON YOUR BACKS THAT YOU MAY TURN LOSERS.
قَالُوا یَـمُوسَى إِنَّ فِیهَا قَوْماً جَبَّارِینَ وَإِنَّا لَن نَّدْخُلَهَا حَتَّى یَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَإِن یَخْرُجُوا مِنْهَا فَإِنَّا دَخِلُونَ (22)
22- THEY SAID;- O, MOSES! THERE ARE A TYRANT PEOPLE IN THERE. (WITH UNJUST USE OF POWER) AND WE WILL NEVER ENTER IT, UNTILL THEY LEAVE IT. IF THEY GO OUT, THEN WE MAY ENTER.
قَالَ رَجُلاَنِ مِنَ الَّذِینَ یَخَافُونَ أَنْعَمَ اللهُ عَلَیْهِمَا ادْخُلُوا عَلَیْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّکُمْ غَلِبُونَ وَعَلَى اللهِ فَتَوَکَّلُوا إِن کُنتُم مُّوْمِنِینَ (23)
23- THEREUPON TWO OF THOSE GOD FEARING MEN WHOM ALLAH HAD FAVOURED, SAID:-ENTER YOU UPON THEM THE GATE. WHEN YOU ENTER IT, YOU SHALL BE VICTORIOUS. AND PUT YOUR TRUST IN ALLAH, IF YOU ARE BELIEVERS.
قَالُوا یَـمُوسَى إِنَّا لَن نَّدْخُلَهَآ أَبَداً مَّا دَامُوا فِیهَا فَاذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَرَبُّکَ فَقَـتِلاَ إِنَّا هَـهُنَا قَـعِدُونَ (24)
24- THEY SAID:- O, MOSES! WE WILL NEVER ENTER IT SO LONG AS THEY ARE THERE. THEN GO FORTH, YOU AND YOUR LORD, AND FIGHT YOU BOTH. WE SHALL BE SITTING HERE.
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لاَ أَمْلِکُ إِلاَّ نَفْسِى وَأَخِى فَافْرُقْ بَیْنَنَا وَبَیْنَ الْقَوْمِ الْفَـسِقِینَ (25)
25- HE SAID:-O, MY LORD! I OWN NONE, BUT MYSELF AND MY BROTHER. SO SEPARATE US FROM THESE VICIOUS PEOPLE.
قَالَ فَإِنَّهَا مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَیْهِمْ أَرْبَعِینَ سَنَةً یَتِیهُونَ فِى الاَْرْضِ فَلاَ تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْفَـسِقِینَ (26)
26- SAID HE:- THEN THEY SHALL BE FORBIDDEN THIS, (LAND TO ENTER) FOR FORTY YEARS; MEANWHILE THEY SHALL WANDER ABOUT ( HOMELESS) ON THE EARTH. THEN GRIEVE NOT FOR THE VICIOUS PEOPLE.
