Three translations of the Koran (Al-Qur'an) side by side
Qur'an
007.141
Y: And remember We rescued you from Pharaoh's people, who afflicted you
with the worst of penalties, who slew your male children and saved
alive your females: in that was a momentous trial from your Lord.
P: And (remember) when We did deliver you from Pharaoh's folk who were
afflicting you with dreadful torment, slaughtering your sons and
sparing your women. That was a tremendous trial from your Lord.
S: And when We delivered you from Firon's people who subjected you to
severe torment, killing your sons and sparing your women, and in this
there was a great trial from your Lord.
007.142
Y: We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed (the period) with
ten (more): thus was completed the term (of communion) with his Lord,
forty nights. And Moses had charged his brother Aaron (before he went
up): "Act for me amongst my people: Do right, and follow not the way
of those who do mischief."
P: And when We did appoint for Moses thirty nights (of solitude), and
added to them ten, and he completed the whole time appointed by his
Lord of forty nights; and Moses said unto his brother, Aaron: Take my
place among the people. Do right, and follow not the way of
mischief-makers.
S: And We appointed with Musa a time of thirty nights and completed them
with ten (more), so the appointed time of his Lord was complete forty
nights, and Musa said to his brother Haroun: Take my place among my
people, and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.
007.143
Y: When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed
him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon
thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look
upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When
his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And
Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said:
"Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to
believe."
P: And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had spoken
unto him, he said: My Lord! Show me (Thy Self), that I may gaze upon
Thee. He said: Thou wilt not see Me, but gaze upon the mountain! If it
stand still in its place, then thou wilt see Me. And when his Lord
revealed (His) glory to the mountain He sent it crashing down. And
Moses fell down senseless. And when he woke he said: Glory unto Thee! I
turn unto Thee repentant, and I am the first of (true) believers.
S: And when Musa came at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him,
he said: My Lord! show me (Thyself), so that I may look upon Thee. He
said: You cannot (bear to) see Me but look at the mountain, if it
remains firm in its place, then will you see Me; but when his Lord
manifested His glory to the mountain He made it crumble and Musa fell
down in a swoon; then when he recovered, he said: Glory be to Thee, I
turn to Thee, and I am the first of the believers.
