And We had already tried before them the people of Pharaoh, and there came to them a noble messenger,  

وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَاءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ  

˹Saying˺, "Render to me the servants of Allah. Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger,"  

أَنْ أَدُّوا إِلَيَّ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ  

And ˹saying˺, "Be not haughty with Allah. Indeed, I have come to you with clear authority.  

وَأَنْ لَا تَعْلُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ ۖ إِنِّي آتِيكُمْ بِسُلْطَانٍ مُبِينٍ  

And indeed, I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord, lest you stone me.  

وَإِنِّي عُذْتُ بِرَبِّي وَرَبِّكُمْ أَنْ تَرْجُمُونِ  

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."  

وَإِنْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا لِي فَاعْتَزِلُونِ  

And ˹finally˺ he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.  

فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مُجْرِمُونَ
