وَاِذْ قَالَ مُوسٰى لِقَوْمِهٖ یَا قَوْمِ اِنَّكُمْ ظَلَمْتُمْ اَنْفُسَكُمْ بِاتِّخَاذِكُمُ الْعِجْلَ فَتُوبُٓوا اِلٰى بَارِئِكُمْ فَاقْتُلُٓوا اَنْفُسَكُمْؕ ذٰلِكُمْ خَیْرٌ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ بَارِئِكُمْؕ فَتَابَ عَلَیْكُمْؕ اِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحٖیمُ

Waith qala moosa liqawmihi ya qawmi innakum thalamtum anfusakum biittikhathikumu alAAijla fatooboo ila bariikum faoqtuloo anfusakum thalikum khayrun lakum AAinda bariikum fataba AAalaykum innahu huwa alttawwabu alrraheemu

Translations

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. 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

Saheeh International

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
