وَإِذْ And when wa-idh said qāla Musa mūsā to his people liqawmihi O my people yāqawmi Indeed, you innakum [you] have wronged ẓalamtum yourselves anfusakum by your taking bi-ittikhādhikumu the calf l-ʿij'la So turn in repentance fatūbū to ilā your Creator bāri-ikum and kill fa-uq'tulū yourselves anfusakum That dhālikum (is) better khayrun for you lakum with ʿinda your Creator bāri-ikum Then He turned fatāba towards you ʿalaykum Indeed He innahu He huwa (is) the-returning l-tawābu the Most Merciful l-raḥīmu
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.
