@ 1457 Pharaoh laughed at the signs of Allah and belied Moses and Aaron 43:46-56
43:46 We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his Council, and he said, 'I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.'
# وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَى بِآيَاتِنَا إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَئِهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ 46
43:47 But when he showed them Our signs they laughed at them,
# فَلَمَّا جَاءَهُم بِآيَاتِنَا إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ 47
43:48 yet there was not a sign that We showed them that was not greater than its sister, and We seized them with the punishment so that they might return.
# وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ آيَةٍ إِلاَّ هِيَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا وَأَخَذْنَاهُم بِالْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ 48
43:49 'Sorcerer,' they said, 'pray to your Lord for us in accordance to the covenant He has made with you, and surely we shall be rightly guided!'
# وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا السَّاحِرُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ 49
43:50 But when We had relieved them of their punishment they broke their promise.
# فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ العَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ 50
43:51 Then Pharaoh made a proclamation to his people, 'My people, is the kingdom of Egypt not mine and these rivers which flow beneath me? What, can you not see?
# وَنَادَى فِرْعَوْنُ فِي قَوْمِهِ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِي مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَذِهِ الأَنْهَارُ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِي أَفَلاَ تُبْصِرُونَ 51
43:52 Am I not better than this contemptible (man), who can scarcely make things clear (because of the impediment of his speech)?
# أَمْ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَذَا الَّذِي هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلاَ يَكَادُ يُبِينُ 52
43:53 Why have no armlets of gold been given him, or angels sent down successively with him?'
# فَلَوْلاَ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَهُ المَلائِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ 53
43:54 He (Pharaoh) intimidated his nation, so they obeyed him, for they were a sinning nation.
# فَاسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُ فَأَطَاعُوهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْماً فَاسِقِينَ 54
43:55 And when they angered Us, We took vengeance on them and drowned all of them,
# فَلَمَّا آسَفُونَا انتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ 55
43:56 and We made them a thing of the past, and We made them an example to later people.
# فَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ سَلَفاً وَمَثَلاً لِّلآخِرِينَ 56
