020.010 Y:  Behold, he saw a fire:  So he said to his family, “Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; perhaps I can bring you some burning brand therefrom, or find some guidance at the fire.”

P:  When he saw a fire and said unto his folk:  Lo!  Wait!  I see a fire afar off.  Peradventure I may bring you a brand therefrom or may find guidance at the fire.

020.012 Y:  “Verily I am thy Lord! therefore (in My presence) put off thy shoes:  thou art in the sacred valley Tuwa.”

020.014 Y:  “Verily, I am Allah:  There is no god but I:  So serve thou Me (only), and establish regular prayer for celebrating My praise.”

020.015 Y:  “Verily the Hour is coming — My design is to keep it hidden — for every soul to receive its reward by the measure of its Endeavour.”

S:  Surely the hour is coming—­ I am about to make it manifest—­ so that every soul may be rewarded as it strives: 

020.016 Y:  “Therefore let not such as believe not therein but follow their own lusts, divert thee therefrom, lest thou perish!"..

P:  Therefor, let not him turn thee aside from (the thought of) it who believeth not therein but followeth his own desire, lest thou perish.

S:  Therefore let not him who believes not in it and follows his low desires turn you away from it so that you should perish;

020.017 Y:  “And what is that in the right hand, O Moses?”

P:  And what is that in thy right hand, O Moses?

S:  And what is this in your right hand, O Musa!

020.018 Y:  He said, “It is my rod:  on it I lean; with it I beat down fodder for my flocks; and in it I find other uses.”
