وَلَقَدْ اَوْحَيْنَٓا اِلٰى مُوسٰٓى اَنْ اَسْرِ بِعِبَاد۪ي فَاضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَر۪يقًا فِي الْبَحْرِ يَبَسًاۚ لَا تَخَافُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشٰى77
We revealed to Moses, ‘Go out at night with My servants and strike a dry path for them across the sea. Have no fear of being overtaken and do not be dismayed.’
فَاَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِه۪ فَغَشِيَهُمْ مِنَ الْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْۜ78
Pharaoh pursued them with his armies and was overwhelmed by the sea
وَاَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُ وَمَا هَدٰى79
Pharaoh truly led his people astray; he did not guide them
يَا بَن۪ٓي اِسْرَٓاء۪يلَ قَدْ اَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوٰعَدْنَاكُمْ جَانِبَ الطُّورِ الْاَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَالسَّلْوٰى80
Children of Israel, We rescued you from your enemies. We made a pledge with you on the right-hand side of the mountain. We sent down manna and quails for you
كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا ف۪يهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَب۪يۚ وَمَنْ يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَب۪ي فَقَدْ هَوٰى81
‘Eat from the good things We have provided for you, but do not overstep the bounds, or My wrath will descend on you. Anyone on whom My wrath descends has truly fallen
وَاِنّ۪ي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَاٰمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدٰى82
Yet I am most forgiving towards those who repent, believe, do righteous deeds, and stay on the right path.’
وَمَٓا اَعْجَلَكَ عَنْ قَوْمِكَ يَا مُوسٰى83
[God said], ‘Moses, what has made you come ahead of your people in such haste?’
قَالَ هُمْ اُو۬لَٓاءِ عَلٰٓى اَثَر۪ي وَعَجِلْتُ اِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضٰى84
and he said, ‘They are following in my footsteps. I rushed to You, Lord, to please You,’
قَالَ فَاِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ وَاَضَلَّهُمُ السَّامِرِيُّ85
but God said, ‘We have tested your people in your absence: the Samiri has led them astray.’
فَرَجَعَ مُوسٰٓى اِلٰى قَوْمِه۪ غَضْبَانَ اَسِفًاۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًاۜ اَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْعَهْدُ اَمْ اَرَدْتُمْ اَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَاَخْلَفْتُمْ مَوْعِد۪ي86
Moses returned to his people, angry and aggrieved. He said, ‘My people, did your Lord not make you a gracious promise? Was my absence too long for you? Did you want anger to fall on you from your Lord and so broke your word to me?’
قَالُوا مَٓا اَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَٓا اَوْزَارًا مِنْ ز۪ينَةِ الْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَاهَا فَكَذٰلِكَ اَلْقَى السَّامِرِيُّۙ87
They said, ‘We did not break our word to you deliberately. We were burdened with the weight of people’s jewellery, so we threw it [into the fire], and the Samiri did the same,’
