And when

he reached

his full strength

and became mature

We bestowed upon him

wisdom

and knowledge

And thus

We reward

the good-doers

And he entered

the city

at

a time

(of) inattention

of

its people

and found

therein

two men

fighting each other

this

of

his party

and this

of

his enemy

And called him for help

the one who

(was) from

his party

against

the one who

(was) from

his enemy

so Musa struck him with his fist

so Musa struck him with his fist

and killed him

and killed him

He said

This (is)

of

(the) deed

(of) Shaitaan

Indeed, he

(is) an enemy

one who misleads

clearly

He said

My Lord

Indeed, I

[I] have wronged

my soul

so forgive

[for] me

Then He forgave

[for] him

Indeed He

He (is)

the Oft-Forgiving

the Most Merciful

He said

My Lord

Because

You have favored

[on] me

so not

I will be

a supporter

(of) the criminals

In the morning he was

in

the city

fearful

(and) was vigilant

when behold

The one who

sought his help

the previous day

cried out to him for help

Said

to him

Musa

Indeed, you

(are) surely a deviator

clear

Then when

[that]

he wanted

to

strike

the one who

[he] (was)

an enemy

to both of them

he said

O Musa

Do you intend

to

kill me

as

you killed

a person

yesterday

Not

you want

but

that

you become

a tyrant

in

the earth

and not

you want

that

you be

of

the reformers

And came

a man

from

(the) farthest end

(of) the city

running

He said

O Musa

Indeed

the chiefs

are taking counsel

about you

to kill you

so leave

indeed, I am

to you

of

the sincere advisors

So he left

from it

fearing

(and) vigilant

He said

My Lord

Save me

from

the people

the wrongdoers
