P:  Therefore We took retribution from them; therefore We drowned them in the sea:  because they denied Our revelations and were heedless of them.

S:  Therefore We inflicted retribution on them and drowned them in the sea because they rejected Our signs and were heedless of them.

007.137 Y:  And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both east and west, — lands whereon We sent down Our blessings.  The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).

P:  And We caused the folk who were despised to inherit the eastern parts of the land and the western parts thereof which We had blessed.  And the fair word of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of their endurance; and We annihilated (all) that Pharaoh and his folk had done and that they had contrived.

S:  And We made the people who were deemed weak to inherit the eastern lands and the western ones which We had blessed; and the good word of your Lord was fulfilled in the children of Israel because they bore up (sufferings) patiently; and We utterly destroyed what Firon and his people had wrought and what they built.

007.138 Y:  We took the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea.  They came upon a people devoted entirely to some idols they had.  They said:  “O Moses! fashion for us a god like unto the gods they have.”  He said:  “Surely ye are a people without knowledge.”

P:  And We brought the Children of Israel across the sea, and they came unto a people who were given up to idols which they had.  They said:  O Moses!  Make for us a god even as they have gods.  He said:  Lo! ye are a folk who know not.

S:  And We made the children of Israel to pass the sea; then they came upon a people who kept to the worship of their idols They said:  O Musa! make for us a god as they have (their) gods He said:  Surely you are a people acting ignorantly: 

007.139 Y:  “As to these folk,- the cult they are in is (but) a fragment of a ruin, and vain is the (worship) which they practise.”

P:  Lo! as for these, their way will be destroyed and all that they are doing is in vain.

S:  (As to) these, surely that about which they are shall be brought to naught and that which they do is vain.

007.140 Y:  He said:  “Shall I seek for you a god other than the (true) Allah, when it is Allah Who hath endowed you with gifts above the nations?”

P:  He said:  Shall I seek for you a god other than Allah when He hath favoured you above (all) creatures?

S:  He said:  What! shall I seek for you a god other than Allah while He has made you excel (all) created things?

007.141 Y:  And remember We rescued you from Pharaoh’s people, who afflicted you with the worst of penalties, who slew your male children and saved alive your females:  in that was a momentous trial from your Lord.
