Word by word

قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ ٱسْتَعِينُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱصْبِرُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّ ٱلْأَرْضَ لِلَّهِ يُورِثُهَا مَن يَشَآءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ ۖ وَٱلْعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allāh and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allāh. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."

قال موسى لقومه -من بني إسرائيل-: استعينوا بالله على فرعون وقومه، واصبروا على ما نالكم من فرعون من المكاره في أنفسكم وأبنائكم. إن الأرض كلها لله يورثها من يشاء من عباده، والعاقبة المحمودة لمن اتقى الله ففعل أوامره واجتنب نواهيه.
