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

18 He said, ‘Did we not rear you as a child among us,
and did you not stay with us for years of your life?
19 Then you committed that deed of yours,
and you are an ingrate.’
20 He said, ‘I did that when I was astray.
21 So I fled from you, as I was afraid of you.
Then my Lord gave me judgement
and made me one of the apostles.
As for that favour,
you remind me of it reproachfully
because you have enslaved the Children of Israel.’
23 He said, ‘And what is “the Lord of all the worlds?” ’
24 He said, ‘The Lord of the heavens and the earth
and whatever is between them,
— should you have conviction.’
25 He said to those who were around him,
‘Don’t you hear?!’
26 He said, ‘Your Lord,
and the Lord of your forefathers!’
27 He said,
‘Indeed your messenger, who has been sent to you,
is surely crazy!’
28 He said, ‘The Lord of the east and the west
and whatever is between them
— should you apply reason.’
29 He said, ‘If you take up any god other than me,
I will surely make you a prisoner!’
30 He said, ‘What if I bring you something manifest?’
31 He said, ‘Then bring it,
should you be truthful.’
