So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well-known day.
وَقِيلَ And it was said waqīla to the people lilnnāsi Will hal you antum assemble muj'tamiʿūna
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate.
لَعَلَّنَا That we may laʿallanā follow nattabiʿu the magicians l-saḥarata if in they are kānū they are humu the victorious l-ghālibīna
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
فَلَمَّا So when falammā came jāa the magicians l-saḥaratu they said qālū to Firaun lifir'ʿawna Is there a-inna for us lanā a reward la-ajran if in we are kunnā we are naḥnu the victorious l-ghālibīna
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
قَالَ He said qāla Yes naʿam and indeed you wa-innakum then idhan surely (will be) of lamina the ones who are brought near l-muqarabīna
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
قَالَ Said qāla to them lahum Musa mūsā Throw alqū what mā you antum (are) going to throw mul'qūna
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
فَأَلْقَوْا۟ So they threw fa-alqaw their ropes ḥibālahum and their staffs waʿiṣiyyahum and said waqālū By the might biʿizzati (of) Firaun fir'ʿawna indeed, we innā surely, we lanaḥnu (are) the victorious l-ghālibūna
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
فَأَلْقَىٰ Then threw fa-alqā Musa mūsā his staff ʿaṣāhu and behold fa-idhā It hiya swallowed talqafu what mā they falsified yafikūna
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
فَأُلْقِىَ Then fell down fa-ul'qiya the magicians l-saḥaratu prostrate sājidīna
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allāh].
قَالُوٓا۟ They said qālū We believe āmannā in (the) Lord birabbi (of) the worlds l-ʿālamīna
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
رَبِّ Lord rabbi (of) Musa mūsā and Harun wahārūna
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
