Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

44 Then We sent Our apostles successively.
Whenever there came to a nation its apostle,
they impugned him,
so We made them follow one another [to extinction]
and We turned them into folktales.
So away with the faithless lot!

45 Then We sent Moses and Aaron, his brother,
with Our signs and a manifest authority,
46 to Pharaoh and his elites;
but they acted arrogantly
and they were a tyrannical lot.
47 They said, ‘Shall we believe two humans like ourselves,
while their people are our slaves?’
48 So they impugned the two of them,
whereat they were among those who were destroyed.
49 Certainly We gave Moses the Book
so that they might be guided,
50 and We made the son of Mary
and his mother
a sign,
and sheltered them in a highland,
level and watered by a stream.
51 O apostles!
Eat of the good things
and act righteously.
Indeed I know best what you do.
52 Indeed this community of yours is one community,
and I am your Lord,
so be wary of Me.
