وَهَلْ أَتَاکَ حَدِیثُ مُوسَى(( 9 ))

9- AND HAS THE STORY OF MOSES COME TO YOU?

إِذْ رَءَا نَاراً فَقَالَ لاَِهْلِهِ امْکُثُوا إِنِّى آنَسْتُ نَاراً لَّعَلِّى آتِیکُمْ مِّنْهَا بِقَبَس أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدىً(( 10 ))

10- WHEN HE SAW A FIRE, AND SAID TO HIS FAMILY:ِ ``WAIT A MINUTE! I SAW A FIRE. PERHAPS I MAY BRING YOU A BRAND OF IT, OR FIND SOME GUIDANCE NEAR THE FIRE.

فَلَمَّا أَتَاهَا نُودِىَ یَا مُوسَى(( 11 ))

11- WHEN HE CAME TO IT, A VOICE CALLED OUT, O, MOSES!

إِنِّى أَنَا رَبُّکَ فَاخْلَعْ نَعْلَیْکَ إِنَّکَ بِالْوَادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ طُوىً(( 12 ))

12- I AM YOUR LORD, THEN PUT OFF YOUR SANDALS, THAT YOU ARE IN THE SACRED VALLEY OF TOWÄ.

وَأَنَا اخْتَرْتُکَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِمَا یُوحَى(( 13 ))

13- AND I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, (FOR THE POSITION OF PROPHETHOOD) SO LISTEN TO WHAT WILL BE INSPIRED.

14- VERILY I AM ALLAH, THERE IS NO GOD EXCEPT ME. THEN WORSHIP ME (ALONE), AND PERFORM PRAYER TO REMEMBER ME.

إِنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِیَةٌ أَکَادُ أُخْفِیهَا لِتُجْزَى کُلُّ نَفْس بِمَا تَسْعَى(( 15 ))

15- VERILY THE HOUR WILL COME, I WOULD LIKE TO HIDE IT, SO AS TO REWARD EVERYONE ACCORDING TO HIS ENDEAVOUR.

فَلاَ یَصُدَّنَّکَ عَنْهَا مَنْ لاَّ یُؤْمِنُ بِهَا وَاتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ فَتَرْدَى(( 16 ))

16- SO, LET NOT BAR YOU FROM IT HE WHO BELIEVES IT NOT; AND HAS FOLLOWED HIS CAPRICES, LEST YOU PERISH.
