Translation

And remember Moses said to his people: "O my people! Ye have indeed wronged yourselves by your worship of the calf: So turn (in repentance) to your Maker, and slay yourselves (the wrong-doers); that will be better for you in the sight of your Maker." Then He turned towards you (in forgiveness): For He is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

Moses said to his people, ‘My people, you have wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf, so repent to your Maker and kill [the guilty among] you. That is the best you can do in the eyes of your Maker.’ He accepted your repentance: He is the Ever Relenting and the Most Merciful.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Ye have wronged yourselves by your choosing of the calf (for worship) so turn in penitence to your Creator, and kill (the guilty) yourselves. That will be best for you with your Creator and He will relent toward you. Lo! He is the Relenting, the Merciful.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves [i.e., the guilty among you]. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the Accepting of Repentance, the Merciful.

Musa milletine "Ey milletim! Buzağıyı tanrı olarak benimsemekle kendinize yazık ettiniz. Yaratanınıza tevbe edin ve nefislerinizi öldürün, bu Yaratanınız katında sizin için hayırlı olur; O daima tevbeleri kabul ve merhamet eden olduğu için tevbenizikabul eder" demişti.

Hani bir zamanlar Musa kavmine dedi ki; Ey kavmim cidden siz o buzağıyı put edinmekle kendi kendinize zulmettiniz, bari gelin Rabbinize tevbe ile dönün de nefislerinizi öldürün. Böyle yapmanız Bârî Teâlânız katında sizin için hayırlıdır, böylece tevbenizi kabul buyurdu. Gerçekten de o Tevvab ve Rahîm'dir.

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

Hani Musa kavmine şöyle demişti: “Ey kavmim! Şüphesiz ki siz, buzağıyı (ilah) edinmekle kendinize haksızlık ettiniz. Onun için, Yaratıcınıza tevbe edin de nefsinizi (kötü duygularınızı) öldürün! Böyle yapmanız Yaratıcınız katında sizin için hayırlı olandır. Böylece (Allah) tevbenizi kabul etmiş olur. Şüphesiz ki yalnızca O, tevbeleri çok kabul edendir, çok merhametlidir.”

واذكروا نعمتنا عليكم حين قال موسى لقومه: إنكم ظلمتم أنفسكم باتخاذكم العجل إلهًا، فتوبوا إلى خالقكم: بأن يَقْتل بعضكم بعضًا، وهذا خير لكم عند خالقكم من الخلود الأبدي في النار، فامتثلتم ذلك، فمنَّ الله عليكم بقَبول توبتكم. إنه تعالى هو التواب لمن تاب مِن عباده، الرحيم بهم.
