Word by word

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ أَنجَىٰكُم مِّنْ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوٓءَ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَيُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَآءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَآءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِى ذَٰلِكُم بَلَآءٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when Moses said to his people, "Remember the favor of Allāh upon you when He saved you from the people of Pharaoh, who were afflicting you with the worst torment and were slaughtering your [newborn] sons and keeping your females alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

واذكر -أيها الرسول- لقومك قصة موسى حين قال لبني إسرائيل: اذكروا نعمة الله عليكم حين أنجاكم من فرعون وأتباعه يذيقونكم أشد العذاب، ويذبِّحون أبناءكم الذكور، حتى لا يأتي منهم من يستولي على مُلْك فرعون، ويستبقون نساءكم للخدمة والامتهان، وفي ذلكم البلاء والإنجاء اختبار لكم من ربكم عظيم.
