إِذْ
تَمْشِي
أُخْتُكَ
فَتَقُولُ
هَلْ
أَدُلُّكُمْ
عَلَى
مَن
يَكْفُلُهُ
فَرَجَعْنَاكَ
إِلَى
أُمِّكَ
كَيْ
تَقَرَّ
عَيْنُهَا
وَلَا
تَحْزَنَ
وَقَتَلْتَ
نَفْسًا
فَنَجَّيْنَاكَ
مِنَ
الْغَمِّ
وَفَتَنَّاكَ
فُتُونًا
فَلَبِثْتَ
سِنِينَ
فِي
أَهْلِ
مَدْيَنَ
ثُمَّ
جِئْتَ
عَلَى
قَدَرٍ
يَامُوسَى

"Behold! thy sister goeth forth and saith, 'shall I show you one who will nurse and rear the (child)?' So We brought thee back to thy mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve. Then thou didst slay a man, but We saved thee from trouble, and We tried thee in various ways. Then didst thou tarry a number of years with the people of Midian. Then didst thou come hither as ordained, O Moses!
— Abdullah Yusufali
When your sister walked up [to Pharaoh’s palace] saying, “Shall I show you someone who will take care of him?” Then We restored you to your mother, that she might not grieve and be comforted. Then you slew a soul, whereupon We delivered you from anguish, and We tried you with various ordeals. Then you stayed for several years among the people of Midian. Then you turned up as ordained, O Moses!
