وَقَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
Waq a loo y a ayyuh a a l s ah iru odAAu lan a rabbaka bim a AAahida AAindaka innan a lamuhtadoon a
And [every time] they exclaimed: "O thou sorcerer! Pray for us to thy Sustainer on the strength of the covenant [of prophethood] which He has made with thee: for, verily, we shall now follow the right way!"
  - Mohammad Asad
Each time they were seized by a scourge, they requested Musa: "O magician! Pray to your Rabb for us by virtue of the covenant He has made with you; we shall surely accept your guidance."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'Then' they pleaded, 'O 'mighty' magician! Pray to your Lord on our behalf, by virtue of the covenant He made with you.1 We will certainly accept guidance.'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 See 7:134.

And they said: O wizard; Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And they said "O thou Sorcerer! invoke thy Lord for us according to His covenant with thee; for We shall truly accept guidance." 4652
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

This speech is half a mockery, and half a ruse. In spite of their unbelief, they had fear in their minds, and in order to stop the plagues, one after another, they promised to obey Allah, and when the particular plague was removed, they again became obdurate. See vii. 133-135.
