قَالُوا إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُسَحَّرِینَ(( 153 ))

153- THEY SAID:ِ ``YOU ARE OF THOSE BEWITCHED.''

مَا أَنْتَ إِلاَّ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُنَا فَأْتِ بِآیَة إِنْ کُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِینَ(( 154 ))

154- YOU ARE NOT EXCEPT A MAN LIKE US. THEN BRING A SIGN IF YOU ARE OF THE TRUTHFULS.

قَالَ هَذِهِ نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَکُمْ شِرْبُ یَوْم مَّعْلُوم(( 155 ))

155- HE SAID HERE IS A SHE-CAMEL. (WHICH YOU HAVE ASKED AS A SIGN) FOR HER IS A SHARE OF WATER, AND FOR YOU A SHARE, ON A DAY APPOINTED.

وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بِسُوء فَیَأْخُذَکُمْ عَذَابُ یَوْم عَظِیم(( 156 ))

156- (LET HER HAVE HER SHARE) AND TOUCH HER NOT WITH HARM, THAT THE TORMENT OF A GREAT DAY MAY SEIZE YOU.

فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِینَ(( 157 ))

157- BUT THEY HAMSTRUNG HER AND IN THE MORNING WERE REMORSEFUL.

فَأَخَذَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ إِنَّ فِى ذَلِکَ لاَیَةً وَمَا کَانَ أَکْثَرُهُمْ مُّؤْمِنِینَ(( 158 ))

158- THEN THE PUNISHMENT SEIZED THEM. VERILY IN THAT IS A SIGN, AND MOST OF THEM WERE NOT BELIEVERS.

وَإِنَّ رَبَّکَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِیزُ الرَّحِیمُ(( 159 ))

159- AND VERILY YOUR LORD IS EXALTED IN MIGHT, COMPASSIONATE.
