40:38

أَسْبَٰبَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ فَأَطَّلِعَ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِ مُوسَىٰ وَإِنِّى لَأَظُنُّهُۥ كَٰذِبًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ زُيِّنَ لِفِرْعَوْنَ سُوٓءُ عَمَلِهِۦ وَصُدَّ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ ۚ وَمَا كَيْدُ فِرْعَوْنَ إِلَّا فِى تَبَابٍ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

‘The means of approach to the heavens, so that I may have a look at the God of Moses, and I surely think him to be a liar.’ And thus the evil of his doing was made to look fair in the eyes of Pharaoh, and he was turned away from the right path; and the design of Pharaoh ended in nothing but ruin.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

جو آسمان کے راستے ہیں تاکہ میں موسیٰ کے معبود کو جھانک کر دیکھوں بلکہ درحقیقت میں تو اسے جھوٹا سمجھتا ہوں۔ اور اسی طرح فرعون کے لئے اس کے بداعمال خوبصورت کرکے دکھائے گئے اور وہ راستے سے روک دیا گیا اور فرعون کی تدبیر اس کے سوا کچھ نہ تھی کہ وہ نامرادی میں ڈوبی ہوئی تھی۔

French

Les voies d’accès des cieux, pour que je puisse apercevoir le Dieu de Moïse, car vraiment je le crois être un menteur. » Ainsi l’iniquité de son œuvre fut rendue belle aux yeux de Pharaon, et il fut détourné du droit chemin ; et le dessein de Pharaon n’aboutit qu’à la ruine. »

German

die Wege der Annäherung zu den Himmeln, damit ich über dem Gott Mose die Kunde hole, denn ich halte ihn wahrlich für einen Lügner." Also wurde dem Pharao das Böse seines Tuns schön gemacht, und er wurde abgewendet von dem Pfade; und der Anschlag Pharaos endete bloß in Verderben.

Chinese

诸天的道路, [b]以便我看到穆撒的主宰[1163], 我确认为他是说谎者。”他的恶行在法老的眼里 (看来似乎是) 被修饰得美好的, 他被摈弃于 (正) 道之外; 法老的计划(终于) 瓦解了。

28:39.

法老揶揄地说, 他要到天上去一瞥穆撒的安拉, 可是安拉叫他在海底深处看看他显示的威力。

Italian

i mezzi per accedere ai cieli, così da riuscire a dare uno sguardo al Dio di Mosè; perché, sicuramente, io lo considero un bugiardo.» E così la sua condotta malvagia fu fatta apparire bella agli occhi del Faraone, e fu sviato dal retto cammino; e il progetto del Faraone finì in rovina.

Spanish

“Los medios para acercarme a los Cielos, para poder echar una mirada al Dios de Moisés, pues creo ciertamente que es un mentiroso”. De este modo se hizo que la maldad de sus acciones apareciera justa a los ojos del Faraón, y fue apartado del camino recto; más el designio del Faraón no terminó más que en la ruina.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

جو آسمان کے راستے ہیں اور اس طرح موسیٰ کے خدا پر آگاہ ہو جاؤں۔ کیونکہ میں اسے جھوٹا سمجھتا ہوں۔ اور اس طرح فرعون کی نظر میں اس کے اعمال کی بدیاں خوبصورت کرکے دکھائی گئی تھیں اور وہ حقیقی راستہ سے (اپنی نافرمانیوں کی وجہ سے) روکا گیا تھا اور فرعون کی تدبیر ناکامی کی صورت میں ہی ظاہر ہونے والی تھی۔

اردو ترجمہ مودودی

آسمانوں کے راستوں تک، اور موسیٰؑ کے خدا کو جھانک کر دیکھوں مجھے تو یہ موسیٰؑ جھوٹا ہی معلوم ہوتا ہے" اس طرح فرعون کے لیے اس کی بد عملی خوشنما بنا دی گئی اور وہ راہ راست سے روک دیا گیا فرعون کی ساری چال بازی (اُس کی اپنی) تباہی کے راستہ ہی میں صرف ہوئی

English - Sahih

The ways into the heavens - so that I may look at the deity of Moses; but indeed, I think he is a liar." And thus was made attractive to Pharaoh the evil of his deed, and he was averted from the [right] way. And the plan of Pharaoh was not except in ruin.

اردو ترجمہ احمد علی

یعنی آسمان کے راستوں پر پھر موسیٰ کے خدا کی طرف جھانک کر دیکھوں اور میں تو اسے جھوٹا خیال کرتا ہوں اور اسی طرح فرعون کو اس کا برا عمل اچھا معلوم ہوا اور وہ راستہ سے روکا گیا تھا اور فرعون کی ہر تدبیر غارت ہی گئی

English - Talal Itani

(The) ways (to) the heavens so I may look at (the) God (of) Musa; and indeed, I [I] surely think him (to be) a liar." And thus was made fair-seeming to Firaun (the) evil (of) his deed, and he was averted from the way. And not (was the) plot (of) Firaun except in ruin.
