Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.
کہ فرعون نے ملک میں سر اُٹھا رکھا تھا اور وہاں کے باشندوں کو گروہ گروہ بنا رکھا تھا اُن میں سے ایک گروہ کو (یہاں تک) کمزور کر دیا تھا کہ اُن کے بیٹوں کو ذبح کر ڈالتا اور اُن کی لڑکیوں کو زندہ رہنے دیتا۔ بیشک وہ مفسدوں میں تھا
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Truly Pharaoh had exalted himself in the land the land of Egypt and reduced its people into sects groups to serve him oppressing a group of them namely the Children of Israel slaughtering their sons the new-born and sparing their women keeping them alive — for some of the Egyptian priests had told him ‘A new-born of the Children of Israel shall bring about the end of your kingdom’. Indeed he was of those who cause corruption through the use of slaughter and otherwise.
وَنُرِيدُ أَن نَّمُنَّ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ ٱسْتُضْعِفُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَنَجْعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةً وَنَجْعَلَهُمُ ٱلْوَٰرِثِينَ

And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
اور ہم نے موسٰی کی ماں کی طرف وحی بھیجی کہ اس کو دودھ پلاؤ جب تم کو اس کے بارے میں کچھ خوف پیدا ہو تو اسے دریا میں ڈال دینا اور نہ تو خوف کرنا اور نہ رنج کرنا۔ ہم اس کو تمہارے پاس واپس پہنچا دیں گے اور (پھر) اُسے پیغمبر بنا دیں گے
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And We revealed by inspiration or in a dream to the mother of Moses — who was the said new-born; his sister was the only other person aware of his birth — ‘Suckle him then when you fear for him cast him into the waters namely the Nile and do not fear that he should drown or grieve for being separated from him for We will restore him to you and make him one of the messengers’. She suckled him for three months during which he never cried. She then began to fear for him and so she placed him in a basket coated with pitch and made as a cradle for him on the inside. She then closed it and cast it into the waters of the Nile at night.
فَٱلْتَقَطَهُۥٓ ءَالُ فِرْعَوْنَ لِيَكُونَ لَهُمْ عَدُوًّا وَحَزَنًا إِنَّ فِرْعَوْنَ وَهَٰمَٰنَ وَجُنُودَهُمَا كَانُوا۟ خَٰطِـِٔينَ

And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
تو فرعون کے لوگوں نے اس کو اُٹھا لیا اس لئے کہ (نتیجہ یہ ہونا تھا کہ) وہ اُن کا دشمن اور (ان کے لئے موجب) غم ہو۔ بیشک فرعون اور ہامان اور اُن کے لشکر چوک گئے

Truly Pharaoh and his minister Hāmān and their hosts were sinners that is disobedient and so they were punished at his Moses’s hands.
وَقَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ فِرْعَوْنَ قُرَّتُ عَيْنٍ لِّى وَلَكَ لَا تَقْتُلُوهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

And We had forbidden him to take to the breasts of fostermothers from before that is to say we prevented him from taking to the breasts of any suckling mother other than his own mother.

So she his sister said ‘Shall I show you a household — having seen their affection for him — who will take care of him for you by having him suckled and so on and who will act in good faith towards him?’ the suffixed pronoun in lahu has been interpreted as referring to the king as a response to them when they asked Mary how she could be sure. Her suggestion was accepted. So she brought his mother and he took to her breast. She explained to them that he had taken to her breast because of her pleasant scent and the wholesome taste of her milk. Permission was given to her to breast-feed him in her own house and so she returned with him just as God exalted be He says
فَرَدَدْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّهِۦ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَلِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of the people do not know.
تو ہم نے (اس طریق سے) اُن کو ان کی ماں کے پاس واپس پہنچا دیا تاکہ اُن کی آنکھیں ٹھنڈی ہوں اور وہ غم نہ کھائیں اور معلوم کریں کہ خدا کا وعدہ سچا ہے لیکن یہ اکثر نہیں جانتے

He Moses remained with her until he was weaned during which time she was paid wages at one dinar per day. She took this because it was money from enemy territory harbī. She then brought him back to Pharaoh in whose household he was raised as God recounts of him in sūrat al-Shu‘arā’ Q. 2618 Did we not rear you among us as a child and did you not stay with us for years of your life?

And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."

And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."

اور جب مدین کے پانی (کے مقام) پر پہنچے تو دیکھا کہ وہاں لوگ جمع ہو رہے (اور اپنے چارپایوں کو) پانی پلا رہے ہیں اور ان کے ایک طرف دو عورتیں (اپنی بکریوں کو) روکے کھڑی ہیں۔ موسٰی نے (اُن سے) کہا تمہارا کیا کام ہے۔ وہ بولیں کہ جب تک چرواہے (اپنے چارپایوں کو) لے نہ جائیں ہم پانی نہیں پلا سکتے اور ہمارے والد بڑی عمر کے بوڑھے ہیں
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And when he arrived at the Water of Midian the name of a well therein he found a group of people there watering their flocks and he found besides them two women holding back their flock from the water. He Moses said to the two ‘What is your business?’ that is ‘What is the matter with you that you are not watering?’ They said ‘We do not water our flock until the shepherds have moved on ri‘ā’u ‘shepherds’ the plural of rā‘in that is to say until they have returned from the watering for fear of being crushed by the throng after which we go to water a variant reading for yasdiru ‘move on’ is the 4th form subjunctive yusdira ‘to drive away’ meaning until they the shepherds have driven their flocks away from the water’ and our father is a very old man’ unable to come and water.

So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."
تو موسٰی نے اُن کے لئے (بکریوں کو) پانی پلا دیا پھر سائے کی طرف چلے گئے۔ اور کہنے لگے کہ پروردگار میں اس کا محتاج ہوں کہ تو مجھ پر اپنی نعمت نازل فرمائے
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
So he watered their flock for them from another well nearby by lifting a rock from on top of it which only ten men could have lifted; then he retreated to the shade of an acacia tree samura because of the extreme heat of the sun and he was hungry and said ‘My Lord indeed I am in utter need of whatever good whatever food You send down to me’. The two women returned to their father quicker than usual and so he asked them why it was so. They told him about the man who had watered their flock for them. So he said to one of them ‘Summon him to come to me’.

Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."
(تھوڑی دیر کے بعد) ان میں سے ایک عورت جو شرماتی اور لجاتی چلی آتی تھی۔ موسٰی کے پاس آئی اور کہنے لگی کہ تم کو میرے والد بلاتے ہیں کہ تم نے جو ہمارے لئے پانی پلایا تھا اس کی تم کو اُجرت دیں۔ جب وہ اُن کے پاس آئے اور اُن سے اپنا ماجرا بیان کیا تو اُنہوں نے کہا کہ کچھ خوف نہ کرو۔ تم ظالم لوگوں سے بچ آئے ہو
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
God exalted be He says Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully — in other words covering her face with the sleeve of her shirt being shy of him — and said ‘My father invites you that he may pay you a wage for watering our flock for us’. He accepted her invitation while inwardly he disapproved of accepting any wage for it was as though she sought to remunerate him and as though he were of those who would want it which he was not. She walked in front of him but when the wind began to blow off her dress and reveal her legs he said to her ‘Walk behind me and show me the way’ which she did. Finally he came to her father Shu‘ayb peace be upon him who was sitting with some supper in front of him. He said to him ‘Sit and have some supper’. He Moses said ‘I hope that this is not some sort of compensation for having watered their flock for them? For we are People of a House and do not demand compensation for good deeds’. He Shu‘ayb said ‘No. It is simply a custom of mine and of my forefathers to be hospitable to guests and to offer them food’. Thus he Moses ate and informed him of his predicament. God exalted be He says So when he came to him and recounted to him the story al-qasas is a verbal noun with the sense of al-maqsūs ‘that which is recounted’ of his slaying of the Egyptian and their intention to slay him and his fear of Pharaoh he their father said ‘Do not be afraid. You have escaped from the evildoing people’ as Pharaoh had no authority over Midian.

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."
ایک لڑکی بولی کہ ابّا ان کو نوکر رکھ لیجئے کیونکہ بہتر نوکر جو آپ رکھیں وہ ہے (جو) توانا اور امانت دار (ہو)
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
One of the two women the one that had been sent by her father either the elder or the younger said ‘O my father hire him employ him in return for a wage that he may tend our flock instead of us. Surely the best man you can hire is the strong the trustworthy man’ in other words hire him on account of his strength and trustworthiness. He Shu‘ayb asked her about him and she told him as mentioned above how he had lifted the rock off the well and that he had said to her ‘Walk behind me’ in addition to his lowering his head when he realised that she was coming towards him refusing to lift it until she left. He Shu‘ayb therefore was keen to have him marry one of his daughters.

He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allah wills, from among the righteous."
اُنہوں نے (موسٰی سے) کہا کہ میں چاہتا ہوں اپنی دو بیٹیوں میں سے ایک کو تم سے بیاہ دوں اس عہد پر کہ تم آٹھ برس میری خدمت کرو اور اگر دس سال پورے کر دو تو تمہاری طرف سے (احسان) ہے اور میں تم پر تکلیف ڈالنی نہیں چاہتا۔ مجھے انشاء الله نیک لوگوں میں پاؤ گے
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He said ‘I desire to marry you to one of these two daughters of mine either the elder or the younger one on condition that you hire yourself to me that you are employed by me to tend my flock for eight years. And if you complete ten that is the tending of ten years that completion shall be of your own accord. I do not want to be hard on you by making it the marriage conditional on ten years service. God willing — expressed to seek God’s blessing — you shall find me to be one of the righteous’ of those who fulfil their covenants.

[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allah, over what we say, is Witness."
موسٰی نے کہا کہ مجھ میں اور آپ میں یہ (عہد پختہ ہوا) میں جونسی مدت (چاہوں) پوری کردوں پھر مجھ پر کوئی زیادتی نہ ہو۔ اور ہم جو معاہدہ کرتے ہیں خدا اس کا گواہ ہے
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
He Moses said ‘That which you have said is settled then between me and you. Whichever of the two terms the eight or the ten the mā in ayyamā ‘whichever of the two’ is extra in other words the tending thereof I complete there shall be no injustice done to me by demanding of me to do more tending. And God is Guardian Keeper or Witness over what we you and I say’. The contract was agreed in this way. Shu‘ayb bid his daughter to give Moses a staff with which to beat off predatory beasts from his sheep — the staffs of the prophets were in his keeping. It was Adam’s staff made from the myrtle of Paradise that fell into her hands and so Moses took it with Shu‘ayb’s knowledge.

And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."
جب موسٰی نے مدت پوری کردی اور اپنے گھر کے لوگوں کو لے کر چلے تو طور کی طرف سے آگ دکھائی دی تو اپنے گھر والوں سے کہنے لگے کہ تم یہاں ٹھیرو۔ مجھے آگ نظر آئی ہے شاید میں وہاں سے (رستے کا) کچھ پتہ لاؤں یا آگ کا انگارہ لے آؤں تاکہ تم تاپو

He said to his family ‘Wait here; I see a fire in the distance. Maybe I will bring you from it news about how to rejoin the route to Egypt — for he had strayed from it along the way — or a brand read with any of the three vowels jadhwa jidhwa or judhwa which either means ‘a bundle’ or ‘a flame’ from the fire that you may warm yourselves’ tastalūna the tā’ replaces the tā’ of the 8th verbal paradigm ifta‘ala of the verb saliya or salaya.

Indeed I am God the Lord of the Worlds’.

These then read fa-dhānika or fa-dhānnika namely the staff and the hand both of which ‘asā and yad are feminine nouns but the demonstrative pronoun dhānika used for them being the subject is in the masculine because its predicate is masculine shall be two proofs to be sent from your Lord to Pharaoh and his council; for surely they are an immoral people’.

He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.

And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.
اور خدا کے ساتھ کسی اور کو معبود (سمجھ کر) نہ پکارنا اس کے سوا کوئی معبود نہیں۔ اس کی ذات (پاک) کے سوا ہر چیز فنا ہونے والی ہے۔ اسی کا حکم ہے اور اسی کی طرف تم لوٹ کر جاؤ گے
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
And do not call on do not worship another god with God; there is no god except Him. Everything will perish except His Countenance except Him. His is the judgement the effective decree and to Him you will be brought back by being raised from the grave.
