وَلَمَّا رَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَـٰنَ أَسِفًا قَالَ بِئْسَمَا خَلَفْتُمُونِى مِنۢ بَعْدِىٓ ۖ أَعَجِلْتُمْ أَمْرَ رَبِّكُمْ ۖ وَأَلْقَى ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ وَأَخَذَ بِرَأْسِ أَخِيهِ يَجُرُّهُۥٓ إِلَيْهِ ۚ قَالَ ٱبْنَ أُمَّ إِنَّ ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى وَكَادُوا۟ يَقْتُلُونَنِى فَلَا تُشْمِتْ بِىَ ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِى مَعَ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Translations of Quran 7:150
EnglishTalal Itani

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and disappointed, he said, “What an awful thing you did in my absence. Did you forsake the commandments of your Lord so hastily?” And he threw down the Tablets; and he took hold of his brother’s head, dragging him towards himself. He said, “Son of my mother, the people have overpowered me, and were about to kill me; so do not allow the enemies to gloat over me, and do not count me among the unjust people.”

EnglishPickthall, 1930

And when Moses returned unto his people, angry and grieved, he said: Evil is that (course) which ye took after I had left you. Would ye hasten on the judgment of your Lord? And he cast down the tablets, and he seized his brother by the head, dragging him toward him. He said: Son of my mother! Lo! the folk did judge me weak and almost killed me. Oh, make not mine enemies to triumph over me and place me not among the evil-doers.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Vaktâki Musâ kavmine gadabnâk, esefnâk, olarak döndü, bana arkamdan ne fena halef oldunuz? Rabbınızın emrini ivdiniz mi? dedi ve elvahı bırakıverib kardeşini başından tuttu, kendine doğru çekiyordu, Anam oğlu, dedi: inan olsun bu kavm beni hırpaladılar, az daha beni öldürüyorlardı, sen de benimle düşmanları sevindirme ve beni bu zalim kavm ile beraber tutma

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Moïse, revenu au milieu de son peuple, rempli de colère et de douleur, s’écria : C’est affreux ce que vous avez fait en mon absence ! Voulez-vous hâter l’œuvre de Dieu ? Il jeta les tables de la loi, saisit son frère par la tête, le tirant à lui. — O fils de ma mère ! Dit Aaron, le peuple m’a ôté toute force : Peu s’en est fallu qu’il ne m’ait tué ; ne va pas réjouir mes ennemis par le spectacle de mon châtiment, et ne me mets pas au nombre des pervers.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En toen Mozes tot zijn volk terugkeerde, vol van toorn en verontwaardiging, zeide hij: Gij hebt een snoode daad na mijn vertrek bedreven. Hebt gij het bevel van uwen Heer verhaast? Hij nam de tafelen en greep zijn broeder bij het hoofdhaar en haalde hem onder zich. En Aäron zeide tot hem: Zoon mijner moeder, waarlijk het volk heeft mij overheerd, en het had slechts weinig gescheeld of zij hadden mij gedood: laat mijne vijanden zich dus niet over mij verblijden, noch plaats mij onder de boozen.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Mosè, tornato in mezzo al suo popolo, pieno di dispetto, e d’ira gridò: Che detestevole azione avete commessa nella mia assenza! Volete voi affrettare la vendetta di Dio? Gettò le tavole, prese suo fratello per la testa, e lo tirò verso di se. — O figlio di mia madre, rispose Aronne, il popolo mi ha sopraffatto, e poco è mancato che non m’abbia ucciso; non far rallegrare i miei nemici col punirmi, e non mi porre nel numero dei perversi.
