وَلَمَّا And when walammā returned rajaʿa Musa mūsā to ilā his people qawmihi angry ghaḍbāna and grieved asifan he said qāla Evil is what bi'samā you have done in my place khalaftumūnī from min after me baʿdī Were you impatient aʿajil'tum (over the) matter amra (of) your Lord rabbikum And he cast down wa-alqā the tablets l-alwāḥa and seized wa-akhadha by head birasi his brother akhīhi dragging him yajurruhu to himself ilayhi He said qāla O son ib'na (of) my mother umma Indeed inna the people l-qawma considered me weak is'taḍʿafūnī and were about to wakādū kill me yaqtulūnanī So (let) not falā rejoice tush'mit over me biya the enemies l-aʿdāa and (do) not walā place me tajʿalnī with maʿa the people l-qawmi (who are) wrongdoing l-ẓālimīna
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me1 and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
