Waittakhatha qawmu moosa min baAAdihi min huliyyihim AAijlan jasadan lahu khuwarun alam yaraw annahu la yukallimuhum wala yahdeehim sabeelan ittakhathoohu wakanoo thalimeena\n148. The people of Moses made,\n In his absence, out of their ornaments,\nThe image of a calf,\n (for worship):\n It seemed to low: did they\n Not see that it could\n Neither speak to them, nor\n Show them the Way?\n They took it for worship\n And they did wrong.\n149. Walamma suqita fee aydeehim waraaw annahum qad dalloo qaloo la-in lam yarhamna rabbuna wayaghfir lana lanakoonanna mina alkhasireena\n149. When they repented, and saw\n That they had erred,\n They said: \"if our Lord\n Have not mercy upon us\n And forgive us, we shall\n Indeed be of those who perish.\"\n150. Walamma rajaAAa moosa ila qawmihi ghadbana asifan qala bi/sama khalaftumoonee min baAAdee aAAajiltum amra rabbikum waalqa al-alwaha waakhatha bira/si akheehi yajurruhu ilayhi qala ibna omma inna alqawma istadAAafoonee wakadoo yaqtuloonanee fala tushmit biya al-aAAdaa wala tajAAalnee maAAa alqawmi alththalimeena\n150. When Moses came back\n To his people, angry and grieved,\n He said: \"Evil it is that ye\n Have done in my place\n In my absence: did ye\n Make haste to bring on\n The judgment of your Lord?\"\n He put down the Tablets,\nSeized his brother by (the hair\n Of) his head, and dragged him\n To him. Aaron said:\n \"Son of my mother! The people\n Did indeed reckon me\n As naught, and went near\n To slaying me! Make not\n The enemies rejoice over\n My misfortune, nor count thou\n Me amongst the people\n Of sin.\"\n151. Qala rabbi ighfir lee wali-akhee waadkhilna fee rahmatika waanta arhamu alrrahimeena\n151. Moses prayed: \"O my Lord!\n Forgive me and my brother!\n Admit us to Thy mercy!\n For Thou art the Most Merciful\n Of those who show mercy!\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra VII.: A\u2019r\u0101f, or the Heights: Section 18 (148-151)","type":"page"}
