فَأَلْقَىٰ مُوسَىٰ عَصَاهُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تَلْقَفُ مَا يَأْفِكُونَ ٤٥
Then Moses threw his rod, when, behold, it straightway swallows up all the falsehoods which they fake!
فَأُلْقِيَ السَّحَرَةُ سَاجِدِينَ ٤٦
Then did the sorcerers fall down, prostrate in adoration,
قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ٤٧
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,
رَبِّ مُوسَىٰ وَهَارُونَ ٤٨
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
قَالَ آمَنْتُمْ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكُمْ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَكُمُ السِّحْرَ فَلَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ ۚ لَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٤٩
Said (Pharaoh): "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? surely he is your leader, who has taught you sorcery! but soon shall ye know! Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross!"
