وَلَمَّا
And when
رَجَعَ
returned
مُوسَىٰٓ
Musa
إِلَىٰ
to
قَوْمِهِۦ
his people -
غَضْبَٰنَ
angry,
أَسِفًا
and grieved,
قَالَ
he said,
بِئْسَمَا
"Evil is what
خَلَفْتُمُونِى
you have done in my place
مِنۢ from بَعْدِىٓ after me. أَعَجِلْتُمْ Were you impatient أَمْرَ (over the) matter رَبِّكُمْ (of) your Lord?" وَأَلْقَى And he cast down ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ the tablets وَأَخَذَ and seized بِرَأْسِ by head,
أَخِيهِ his brother يَجُرُّهُۥٓ dragging him إِلَيْهِ to himself. قَالَ He said, ٱبْنَ "O son أُمَّ (of) my mother! إِنَّ Indeed, ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى considered me weak وَكَادُوا۟ and were about to
يَقْتُلُونَنِى kill me. فَلَا So (let) not تُشْمِتْ rejoice بِىَ over me ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ the enemies, وَلَا and (do) not تَجْعَلْنِى place me مَعَ with ٱلْقَوْمِ the people
ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ (who are) wrongdoing. قَالَ He said, رَبِّ "O my Lord! ٱغْفِرْ Forgive لِى me وَلِأَخِى and my brother وَأَدْخِلْنَا and admit us فِى into رَحْمَتِكَ Your Mercy,
وَأَنتَ for You أَرْحَمُ (are) the Most Merciful ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ (of) the merciful." إِنَّ Indeed, ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ took ٱلْعِجْلَ the calf, سَيَنَالُهُمْ will reach them
غَضَبٌ wrath مِّن from رَّبِّهِمْ their Lord, وَذِلَّةٌ and humiliation فِى in ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ the life ٱلدُّنْيَا (of) the world. وَكَذَٰلِكَ And thus نَجْزِى We recompense
ٱلْمُفْتَرِينَ the ones who invent (falsehood). وَٱلَّذِينَ And those who عَمِلُوا۟ do ٱلسَّيِّـَٔاتِ the evil deeds ثُمَّ then تَابُوا۟ repented مِنۢ from
بَعْدِهَا after that وَءَامَنُوٓا۟ and believed, إِنَّ indeed, رَبَّكَ your Lord مِنۢ from بَعْدِهَا after that لَغَفُورٌ (is) surely Oft-Forgiving, رَّحِيمٌ Most Merciful.
وَلَمَّا And when سَكَتَ was calmed عَن from مُّوسَى Musa ٱلْغَضَبُ the anger, أَخَذَ he took (up) ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ the tablets وَفِى and in نُسْخَتِهَا their inscription
هُدًى (was) guidance وَرَحْمَةٌ and mercy لِّلَّذِينَ for those who هُمْ [they] لِرَبِّهِمْ of their Lord يَرْهَبُونَ (are) fearful. وَٱخْتَارَ And chose مُوسَىٰ Musa
قَوْمَهُۥ (from) his people سَبْعِينَ seventy رَجُلًا men لِّمِيقَٰتِنَا for Our appointment. فَلَمَّآ Then when أَخَذَتْهُمُ seized them ٱلرَّجْفَةُ the earthquake قَالَ he said,
رَبِّ "O my Lord! لَوْ If شِئْتَ you (had) willed, أَهْلَكْتَهُم You (could) have destroyed them مِّن from قَبْلُ before وَإِيَّٰىَ and me. أَتُهْلِكُنَا Would You destroy us بِمَا for what فَعَلَ did
ٱلسُّفَهَآءُ the foolish مِنَّآ among us? إِنْ Not هِىَ it (was) إِلَّا but فِتْنَتُكَ Your trial, تُضِلُّ You let go astray بِهَا by it مَن whom تَشَآءُ You will وَتَهْدِى and You guide
مَن whom تَشَآءُ You will. أَنتَ You وَلِيُّنَا (are) our Protector, فَٱغْفِرْ so forgive لَنَا us وَٱرْحَمْنَا and have mercy upon us, وَأَنتَ and You خَيْرُ (are) Best ٱلْغَٰفِرِينَ (of) Forgivers.
