وَٱتَّخَذَ And took wa-ittakhadha (the) people qawmu (of) Musa mūsā from min after him baʿdihi from min their ornaments ḥuliyyihim a calf ʿij'lan an image jasadan [for] it lahu (had) a lowing sound khuwārun Did not alam they see yaraw that it annahu (could) not lā speak to them yukallimuhum and not walā guide them yahdīhim (to) a way sabīlan They took it (for worship) ittakhadhūhu and they were wakānū wrongdoers ẓālimīna
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
وَلَمَّا And when walammā (it was made to) fall suqiṭa into fī their hands aydīhim and they saw wara-aw that they annahum (had) indeed qad gone astray ḍallū they said qālū If la-in not lam has Mercy on us yarḥamnā Our Lord rabbunā and forgive wayaghfir [for] us lanā we will surely be lanakūnanna among mina the losers l-khāsirīna
And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."
