And when

returned

Musa

to

his people

angry

and grieved

he said

Evil is what

you have done in my place

from

after me

Were you impatient

(over the) matter

(of) your Lord

And he cast down

the tablets

and seized

by head

his brother

dragging him

to himself

He said

O son

(of) my mother

Indeed

the people

considered me weak

and were about to

kill me

So (let) not

rejoice

over me

the enemies

and (do) not

place me

with

the people

(who are) wrongdoing

He said

O my Lord

Forgive

me

and my brother

and admit us

into

Your Mercy

for You

(are) the Most Merciful

(of) the merciful

Indeed

those who

took

the calf

will reach them

wrath

from

their Lord

and humiliation

in

the life

(of) the world

And thus

We recompense

the ones who invent (falsehood)

And those who

do

the evil deeds

then

repented

from

after that

and believed

indeed

your Lord

from

after that

(is) surely Oft-Forgiving

Most Merciful

And when

was calmed

from

Musa

the anger

he took (up)

the tablets

and in

their inscription

(was) guidance

and mercy

for those who

[they]

of their Lord

(are) fearful

And chose

Musa

(from) his people

seventy

men

for Our appointment

Then when

seized them

the earthquake

he said

O my Lord

If

you (had) willed

You (could) have destroyed them

from

before

and me

Would You destroy us

for what

did

the foolish

among us

Not

it (was)

but

Your trial

You let go astray

by it

whom

You will

and You guide

whom

You will

You

(are) our Protector

so forgive

us

and have mercy upon us

and You

(are) Best

(of) Forgivers
