Translation of Verse 130-141

130. Indeed, We afflicted Pharaoh's people with famine and shortage of crops so they might come back ˹to their senses˺.

131. In times of prosperity, they said, "This is what we deserve," but in adversity, they blamed it on Moses and those with him. 322 Surely all is destined by Allah. Yet most of them did not know.

132. They said, "No matter what sign you may bring to deceive us, we will never believe in you."

133. So We plagued them with floods, locusts, lice, frogs, and blood-all as clear signs, but they persisted in arrogance and were a wicked people.

134. When tormented, they pleaded, "O Moses! Pray to your Lord on our behalf, by virtue of the covenant He made with you. If you help remove this torment from us, we will certainly believe in you and let the Children of Israel go with you."

135. But as soon as We removed the torment from them-until they met their inevitable fate 323 -they broke their promise.

136. So We inflicted punishment upon them, drowning them in the sea for denying Our signs and being heedless of them.

137. And ˹so˺ We made the oppressed people successors of the eastern and western lands, which We had showered with blessings. ˹In this way˺ the noble Word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel for what they had endured. And We destroyed what Pharaoh and his people constructed and what they established.

138. We brought the Children of Israel across the sea and they came upon a people devoted to idols. They demanded, "O Moses! Make for us a god like their gods." He replied, "Indeed, you are a people acting ignorantly!

139. What they follow is certainly doomed to destruction and their deeds are in vain."

140. He added, "Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah, while He has honoured you above the others?"

141. And ˹remember˺ when We rescued you from the people of Pharaoh, who afflicted you with dreadful torment-killing your sons and keeping your women. That was a severe test from your Lord.


Commentary

322. In psychology, this is called self-serving bias and scapegoating.

323. i.e., their drowning in the sea.
