Translation of Verse 127-129

127. The chiefs of Pharaoh's people protested, "Are you going to leave Moses and his people free to spread corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" He responded, "We will kill their sons and keep their women. ³²¹ We will completely dominate them."

128. Moses reassured his people, "Seek Allah's help and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah ˹alone˺. He grants it to whoever He chooses of His servants. The ultimate outcome belongs ˹only˺ to the righteous."

129. They complained, "We have always been oppressed-before and after you came to us ˹with the message˺." He replied, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you successors in the land to see what you will do."
