(of) inattention
of
أَهۡلِهَا
its people
فَوَجَدَ

two men
يَقۡ تَتِلَانِ
fighting each other
هَـٰ ذَا
this
مِن
of
his party
وَهَـٰ ذَا
and this
مِنۡ
of
عَدُوِّهِۦ ۖ
his enemy
فَٱ سۡتَغَـٰ ثَهُ
And called him for help
the one who
مِن
(was) from
his party
عَلَى
against
the one who
مِنۡ
(was) from
عَدُوِّهِۦ
his enemy
فَوَكَزَهُۥ
so Musa struck him with his fist
مُوسَىٰ
so Musa struck him with his fist
فَقَضَىٰ
and killed him
عَلَيۡهِۖ
and killed him
قَالَ
He said
هَـٰ ذَا
This (is)
مِنۡ
of
عَمَلِ
(the) deed
(of) Shaitaan
إِنّ َهُۥ
Indeed, he
عَدُوٌّ
(is) an enemy
one who misleads
clearly
And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people1 and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."
28:16
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
إِنّ ِى
Indeed, I
ظَلَمۡتُ
[I] have wronged
نَفۡسِى
my soul
فَٱ غۡفِرۡ
so forgive
لِى
[for] me
فَغَفَرَ
Then He forgave
لَهُۥٓۚ
[for] him
إِنّ َهُۥ
Indeed He
هُوَ
He (is)
the Oft-Forgiving
the Most Merciful
He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
28:17
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
بِمَآ
Because
أَنۡعَمۡتَ
You have favored
عَلَىَّ
[on] me
فَلَنۡ
so not
أَكُونَ
I will be
ظَهِيرًا
a supporter
(of) the criminals
He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."
28:18
فَأَصۡبَحَ
In the morning he was
فِى
in
the city
خَا ٓئِفًا
fearful
(and) was vigilant
فَإِذَا
when behold
The one who
sought his help
بِٱ لۡأَمۡسِ
the previous day
يَسۡتَصۡرِخُهُۥ ۚ
cried out to him for help
قَالَ
Said
لَهُۥ
to him
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِنّ َكَ
Indeed, you
لَغَوِىٌّ
(are) surely a deviator
clear
And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."
28:19
فَلَمّ َآ
Then when
أَنۡ
[that]
أَرَادَ
he wanted
أَن
to
strike
بِٱ لَّذِى
the one who
هُوَ
[he] (was)
عَدُوٌّ
an enemy
to both of them
قَالَ
he said
يَـٰ مُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
أَتُرِيدُ
Do you intend
أَن
to
kill me
كَمَا
as
قَتَلۡتَ
you killed
نَفۡسَۢا
a person
yesterday
إِن
Not
you want
إِلَّآ
but
أَن
that
you become
جَبَّارًا
a tyrant
in
the earth
وَمَا
and not
تُرِيدُ
you want
أَن
that
you be
مِنَ
of
the reformers
And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he1 said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
28:20
وَجَا ٓءَ
And came
رَجُلٌ
a man
from
أَقۡ صَا
(the) farthest end
(of) the city
يَسۡعَىٰ
running
قَالَ
He said
يَـٰ مُوسَىٰٓ
O Musa
إِنّ َ
Indeed
the chiefs
يَأۡتَمِرُونَ
are taking counsel
بِكَ
about you
لِيَقۡ تُلُوكَ
to kill you
فَٱ خۡرُجۡ
so leave
إِنّ ِى
indeed, I am
لَكَ
to you
مِنَ
of
the sincere advisors
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."
28:21
فَخَرَجَ
So he left
مِنۡهَا
from it
خَا ٓئِفًا
fearing
(and) vigilant
قَالَ
He said
رَبِّ
My Lord
نَجِّنِى
Save me
مِنَ
from
the people
the wrongdoers
So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."
28:22
وَلَمّ َا
And when
تَوَجَّهَ
he turned his face
تِلۡقَا ٓءَ
towards
مَدۡ يَنَ
Madyan
قَالَ
he said
عَسَىٰ
Perhaps
رَبِّىٓ
my Lord
أَن
[that]
will guide me
سَوَا ٓءَ
(to the) sound
way
And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."
28:23
وَلَمّ َا
And when
وَرَدَ
he came
مَا ٓءَ
(to the) water
مَدۡ يَنَ
(of) Madyan
وَجَدَ
he found
عَلَيۡهِ
on it
أُمّ َةً
a group
of
men
يَسۡقُونَ
watering
وَوَجَدَ
and he found
مِن
besides them
besides them
two women
تَذُودَانِۖ
keeping back
قَالَ
He said
مَا
What
خَطۡ بُكُمَاۖ
(is the) matter with both of you
قَالَتَا
They said
لَا
We cannot water
نَسۡقِى
We cannot water
حَتَّىٰ
until
يُصۡدِرَ
take away
the shepherds
وَأَبُونَا
and our father
شَيۡخٌ
(is) a very old man
(is) a very old man
And when he came to the water [i.e., well] of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women holding back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."
28:24
فَسَقَىٰ
So he watered
لَهُمَا
for them

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."

You have escaped

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him1 and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."
28:26

And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."

And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return.1 [Allāh said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.

Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."

And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly.1 And it is We who were the inheritors.
28:59
وَمَا
And not

٥٩(were) wrongdoers
And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother [i.e., principal city] a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.
28:60
وَمَآ
And whatever

So (will) not

٦٠you use intellect
And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allāh is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?
28:61
أَفَمَن
Then is (he) whom
We have promised him
وَعۡدًا
a promise

good

ثُمّ َ
then

Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will meet [i.e., obtain] like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?
28:62
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day
يُنَادِيهِمۡ
He will call them
فَيَقُولُ

٦٣worship us
Those upon whom the word1 will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship [i.e., obey] us."2
28:64
وَقِيلَ
And it will be said
Call

And they will call them
فَلَمۡ

and they will see
the punishment
لَوۡ

And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners,'" and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!
28:65
وَيَوۡمَ
And (the) Day
يُنَادِيهِمۡ
He will call them
فَيَقُولُ
and say
مَاذَآ
What

the Messengers
And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"
28:66
فَعَمِيَتۡ
But (will) be obscure
عَلَيۡهِمُ
to them
the information
يَوۡمَئِذٍ
that day
so they
لَا

يَتَسَا ٓءَلُو نَ
٦٦will not ask one another
But the information1 will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.
28:67
فَأَمّ َا
But as for
مَن
(him) who
repented

and believed
وَعَمِلَ
and did
صَـٰ لِحًا
righteousness
then perhaps
أَن
[that]
he will be
مِنَ
of
the successful ones
But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is expected [i.e., promised by Allāh] that he will be among the successful.
28:68

Indeed, Qārūn was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allāh does not like the exultant.
