Transliteration
Famaaa aamana li-Moosaaa illaa zurriyyatum min qawmihee 'alaa khawfim min Fir'awna wa mala'ihim ai yaftinahum; wa inna Fir'awna la'aalin fil ardi wa innahoo laminal musrifeen
Translation
But no one believed Moses, except [some] youths among his people, for fear of Pharaoh and his establishment that they would persecute them. And indeed, Pharaoh was haughty within the land, and indeed, he was of the transgressors
Verse interpretation (Tafsir)
The people resolved to turn away and none accepted Moses (peace be upon him), despite the open miracles and clear proof he brought, besides a few youth from his people, the Israelites. Those who persisted in rejection did so out of fear that Pharaoh and the nobles from his people would turn them away from their faith by imposing a punishment on them if they came to know of their belief. Pharaoh was high-handed in his authority over Egypt and its people, and he was of those who overstepped the limit with respect to disbelief and in killing and punishing the Israelites.
