Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
“We are the apostles of your Lord.
Let the Children of Israel go with us,
and do not torture them!
We certainly bring you
a sign from your Lord,
and may peace be upon
him who follows guidance!
Indeed it has been revealed to us
that the punishment shall befall
those who deny and turn their backs [on us].” ’
49 He said, ‘Who is your Lord, Moses?’
50 He said, ‘Our Lord is He
who gave everything its creation and then guided it.’
51 He said, ‘What about the former generations?’
52 He said, ‘Their knowledge is with my Lord,
in a Book.
My Lord neither makes any error nor forgets.’
53 He who made the earth for you a cradle,
and in it threaded for you ways,
and sent down water from the sky,
and with it We brought forth
various kinds of vegetation.
54 ‘Eat and pasture your cattle.’
There are indeed signs in that
for those who have sense.
55 From it did We create you,
into it shall We return you,
and from it shall We bring you forth
another time.
