وَإِذْ
And (remember) when
قُلْتُمْ
you were saying,
يَٰمُوسَىٰ
[O Moosa!
لَن
Not can
نَّصْبِرَ
we persevere
عَلَىٰ
over
طَعَامٍۢ
a provision
وَٰحِدٍۢ
that is singular,
فَٱدْعُ
so call
لَنَا
for us
رَبَّكَ
your Rabb to
يُخْرِجْ
sprout
لَنَا
for us
مِمَّا
from what
تُنۢبِتُ
germinates
ٱلْأَرْضُ
the Earth
مِنۢ
of
بَقْلِهَا
her herb (shopkeeping),
وَقِثَّآئِهَا
and her cucumber (hoarding),
وَفُومِهَا
and her corn (commercial grain production),
وَعَدَسِهَا
and her lentil (magnifying original value),
وَبَصَلِهَا
and her onion (hiding original in layers upon layers, like an onion).]
ۖ
قَالَ
(Moosa) said,
أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ
[Do you exchange
ٱلَّذِى
that which
هُوَ
is
أَدْنَىٰ
lower
بِٱلَّذِى
by that which
هُوَ
is
خَيْرٌ
better?
ۚ
ٱهْبِطُوا۟
Be of lower standard
مِصْرًۭا
perpetually;
فَإِنَّ
surely
لَكُم
for you is
مَّا
what
سَأَلْتُمْ
you asked for!]
ۗ
وَضُرِبَتْ
And took
عَلَيْهِمُ
upon them
ٱلذِّلَّةُ
the humiliation,
وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ
and being stagnant,
وَبَآءُو
and they drew upon themselves
بِغَضَبٍۢ
with wrath
مِّنَ
of
ٱللَّهِ
the One.
ۗ
ذَٰلِكَ
That is
بِأَنَّهُمْ
because they
كَانُوا۟
were
يَكْفُرُونَ
denying
بِـَٔايَٰتِ
about signs of
ٱللَّهِ
the One,
وَيَقْتُلُونَ
and they killed
ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ
the revolutionary leaders
بِغَيْرِ
without
ٱلْحَقِّ
the right;
ۗ
ذَٰلِكَ
that is
بِمَا
due to
عَصَوا۟
rebellion,
وَّكَانُوا۟
and they were
يَعْتَدُونَ
being hostile.

وَإِذْ قُلْتُمْ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَن نَّصْبِرَ عَلَىٰ طَعَامٍۢ وَٰحِدٍۢ فَٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِمَّا تُنۢبِتُ ٱلْأَرْضُ مِنۢ بَقْلِهَا وَقِثَّآئِهَا وَفُومِهَا وَعَدَسِهَا وَبَصَلِهَا ۖ قَالَ أَتَسْتَبْدِلُونَ ٱلَّذِى هُوَ أَدْنَىٰ بِٱلَّذِى هُوَ خَيْرٌ ۚ ٱهْبِطُوا۟ مِصْرًۭا فَإِنَّ لَكُم مَّا سَأَلْتُمْ ۗ وَضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلذِّلَّةُ وَٱلْمَسْكَنَةُ وَبَآءُو بِغَضَبٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ وَيَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّبِيِّـۧنَ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ ۗ ذَٰلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوا۟ وَّكَانُوا۟ يَعْتَدُونَ And (remember) when you were saying, [O Moosa! Not can we persevere over a provision that is singular, so call for us your Rabb to sprout for us from what germinates the Earth of her herb (shopkeeping), and her cucumber (hoarding), and her corn (commercial grain production), and her lentil (magnifying original value), and her onion (hiding original in layers upon layers, like an onion).] (Moosa) said, [Do you exchange that which is lower by that which is better? Be of lower standard perpetually; surely for you is what you asked for!] And took upon them the humiliation, and being stagnant, and they drew upon themselves with wrath of the One. That is because they were denying about signs of the One, and they killed the revolutionary leaders without the right; that is due to rebellion, and they were being hostile.
⦿
And when ye said: O Moses! We are weary of one kind of food; so call upon thy Lord for us that He bring forth for us of that which the earth groweth - of its herbs and its cucumbers and its corn and its lentils and its onions. He said: Would ye exchange that which is higher for that which is lower? Go down to settled country, thus ye shall get that which ye demand. And humiliation and wretchedness were stamped upon them and they were visited with wrath from Allah. That was because they disbelieved in Allah's revelations and slew the prophets wrongfully. That was for their disobedience and transgression. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
And when you said, [O Moses, [We will not put up with one kind of food. So invoke your Lord for us, so that He may bring forth for us of that which the earth grows—its greens and cucumbers, its garlic, lentils, and onions.] He said, [Do you seek to replace what is superior with that which is inferior? Go down to any town and you will indeed get what you ask for!] So they were struck with abasement and poverty, and they earned Allah]s wrath. That, because they would deny the signs of Allah and kill the prophets unjustly. That, because they would disobey and commit transgressions. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
When you demanded Moses to provide you with a variety of food, saying, [We no longer have patience with only one kind of food, ask your Lord to grow green herbs, cucumbers, corn, lentils, and onions for us,] Moses replied, [Would you change what is good for what is worse? Go to any town and you will get what you want.] Despised and afflicted with destitution, they brought the wrath of God back upon themselves, for they denied the evidence (of the existence of God) and murdered His Prophets without reason; they were disobedient transgressors. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And when you said: O Musa! we cannot bear with one food, therefore pray Lord on our behalf to bring forth for us out of what the earth grows, of its herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions. He said: Will you exchange that which is better for that which is worse? Enter a city, so you will have what you ask for. And abasement and humiliation were brought down upon them, and they became deserving of Allah's wrath; this was so because they disbelieved in the communications of Allah and killed the prophets unjustly; this was so because they disobeyed and exceeded the limits. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
When you said, [Moses, we cannot bear to eat only one kind of food, so pray to your Lord to bring forth for us some of the earth's produce, its herbs and cucumbers, its garlic, lentils, and onions.] Moses said, [Would you take a lesser thing in exchange for what is better? Go to some town and there you will find all that you demand.] Abasement and destitution were stamped upon them, and they incurred the wrath of God, for having rejected His signs, and they killed His prophets unjustly, because they were rebels and transgressors. - Wahiduddin Khan

اور وہ وقت بھی یادکرو جب تم نے موسٰی علیھ السّلام سے کہا کہ ہم ایک قسم کے کھانے پر صبر نہیں کرسکتے. آپ پروردگار سے دعا کیجئے کہ ہمارے لئے زمین سے سبزیً ککڑیً لہسنً مسوراور پیاز وغیرہ پیدا کرے. موسٰی علیھ السّلام نے تمہیں سمجھایا کہ کیا بہترین نعمتوں کے بدلے معمولی نعمت لینا چاہتے ہو تو جاؤ کسی شہر میں اتر پڑو وہاں یہ سب کچھ مل جائے گا. اب ان پر ذلّت اور محتاجی کی مار پڑ گئی اور وہ غضب الٰہی میں گرفتار ہوگئے. یہ سب اس لئے ہوا کہ یہ لوگ آیات الٰہی کا انکار کرتے تھے اور ناحق انبیائ خدا کو قتل کردیا کرتے تھے. اس لئے کہ یہ سب نافرمان تھے اور ظلم کیا کرتے تھے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یاد کرو، جب تم نے کہا تھا کہ، ——اے موسیٰؑ، ہم ایک ہی طرح کے کھانے پر صبر نہیں کرسکتے اپنے رب سے دعا کرو کہ ہمارے لیے زمین کی پیداوار ساگ، ترکاری، کھیرا، ککڑی، گیہوں، لہسن، پیاز، دال وغیرہ پیدا کرے—— تو موسیٰؑ نے کہا: ——کیا ایک بہتر چیز کے بجائے تم ادنیٰ درجے کی چیزیں لینا چاہتے ہو؟ اچھا، کسی شہری آبادی میں جا رہو جو کچھ تم مانگتے ہو، وہاں مل جائے گا—— آخر کار نوبت یہاں تک پہنچی کہ ذلت و خواری اور پستی و بد حالی اُن پر مسلط ہو گئی اور وہ اللہ کے غضب میں گھر گئے یہ نتیجہ تھا اس کا کہ وہ اللہ کی آیات سے کفر کرنے لگے اور پیغمبروں کو ناحق قتل کرنے لگے یہ نتیجہ تھا ان کی نافرمانیوں کا اور اس بات کا کہ وہ حدود شرع سے نکل نکل جاتے تھے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور جب تم نے کہا اے موسیٰ ہم سے تو ایک کھانے پر ہرگز صبر نہ ہوگا تو آپ اپنے رب سے دعا کیجئے کہ زمین کی اگائی ہوئی چیزیں ہمارے لئے نکالے کچھ ساگ اور ککڑی اور گیہوں اور مسور اور پیاز فرمایا کیا ادنیٰ چیز کو بہتر کے بدلے مانگتے ہو اچھا مصر یا کسی شہر میں اترو وہاں تمہیں ملے گا جو تم نے مانگا اور ان پر مقرر کردی گئی خواری اور ناداری اور خدا کے غضب میں لوٹے یہ بدلہ تھا اس کا کہ وہ اللہ کی آیتوں کا انکار کرتے اور انبیاء کو ناحق شہید کرتے یہ بدلہ تھا ان کی نافرمانیوں اور حد سے بڑھنے کا- - Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور (وہ وقت بھی یاد کرو) جب تم نے کہا اے موسیٰ! ہم ایک ہی (قسم کے) کھانے پر ہرگز صبر نہیں کر سکتے۔ اس لئے آپ اپنے پروردگار سے ہمارے لئے دعا کیجئے کہ وہ (من و سلویٰ کی بجائے) ہمارے لئے وہ چیزیں نکالے (پیدا کرے) جو زمین اگاتی ہے جیسے ساگ پات، ترکاری، کھیرا، ککڑی، مسور اور لہسن پیاز۔ موسیٰ نے کہا کیا تم کمتر و کہتر چیز لینا چاہتے ہو اس کے بدلہ میں جو برتر و بہتر ہے۔ اچھا شہر میں اتر پڑو۔ بے شک (وہاں) تمہیں وہ کچھ مل جائے گا جو تم مانگتے ہو۔ اور (انجام کار) ان پر ذلت و خواری اور افلاس و ناداری مسلط ہوگئی۔ اور وہ (اللہ کی نشانیوں کا ) انکار کرتے تھے اور انبیاء کو ناحق قتل کرتے تھے (اور یہ اس لئے بھی ہوا) کہ وہ نافرمانی کرتے تھے اور حد سے بڑھ بڑھ جاتے تھے (سرکشی کرتے تھے)۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
