Certainly you have wronged yourselves by adopting the calf (immature ideal), so turn around towards your Recoverer (the Creator), thus fight your egos, that for you is good for you near your Recoverer], thus He turned towards you; it is certain that He is the Returner (forgiver) the Merciful.

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. - Pickthall, Marmaduke
⦿
And [recall] when Moses said to his people, [O my people! You have indeed wronged yourselves by taking up the Calf [for worship]. Now turn penitently to your Maker, and slay [the guilty among] your folks. That will be better for you with your Maker.] Then He turned to you clemently. Indeed, He is the All-clement, the All-merciful. - Qarai, Ali Quli
⦿
Moses said to his people, [My people, you have done wrong to yourselves by worshipping the calf. Seek pardon from your Lord and slay yourselves.] He told them that it would be best for them in the sight of their Lord, Who would forgive them, for He is All-forgiving and All-merciful. - Sarwar, Muhammad
⦿
And when Musa said to his people: O my people! you have surely been unjust to yourselves by taking the calf (for a god), therefore turn to your Creator (penitently), so kill your people, that is best for you with your Creator: so He turned to you (mercifully), for surely He is the Oft-returning (to mercy), the Merciful. - Shakir, Habib
⦿
When Moses said to his people, [O my people, you have indeed wronged yourselves by worshipping the calf; turn in repentance to your Creator and slay [the culprits] among you. That course is best for you in the sight of your Maker.] He relented towards you. He is the Forgiving One, the Merciful. - Wahiduddin Khan

اور وہ وقت بھی یاد کرو جب موسٰی علیھ السّلام نے اپنی قوم سے کہا کہ تم نے گو سالہ بنا کر اپنے اوپر ظلم کیا ہے. اب تم خالق کی بارگاہ میں توبہ کرو اور اپنے نفسوں کو قتل کر ڈالو کہ یہی تمہارے حق میں خیر ہے. پھر خدا نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کرلی کہ وہ بڑا توبہ قبول کرنے والا مہربان ہے - Jawadi, Zeeshan
⦿
یاد کرو جب موسیٰؑ (یہ نعمت لیتے ہوئے پلٹا، تو اُس) نے اپنی قوم سے کہا کہ ——لوگو، تم نے بچھڑے کو معبود بنا کر اپنے اوپر سخت ظلم کیا ہے، لہٰذا تم لوگ اپنے خالق کے حضور توبہ کرو اور اپنی جانوں کو ہلاک کرو، اسی میں تمہارے خالق کے نزدیک تمہاری بہتری ہے—— اُس وقت تمہارے خالق نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کر لی کہ وہ بڑا معاف کرنے والا اور رحم فرمانے والا ہے - Maududi, Abul A'ala
⦿
اور جب موسیٰ نے اپنی قوم سے کہا اے میری قوم تم نے بچھڑا بناکر اپنی جانوں پر ظلم کیا تو اپنے پیدا کرنے والے کی طرف رجوع لاؤ تو آپس میں ایک دوسرے کو قتل کردو یہ تمہارے پیدا کرنے والے کے نزدیک تمہارے لیے بہتر ہے تو اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کی بیشک وہی ہے بہت توبہ قبول کرنے والا مہربان - - Ahmed Raza
⦿
اور (وہ وقت یاد کرو) جب (موسیٰ نے اپنی قوم سے کہا) اے میری قوم! یقینا تم نے گو سالہ کو (معبود) بنا کر اپنی جانوں پر بڑا ظلم کیا ہے۔ لہٰذا تم اپنے خالق کی بارگاہ میں (اس طرح) توبہ کرو۔ کہ اپنی جانوں کو قتل کرو۔ یہی (طریقہ کار) تمہارے خالق کے نزدیک تمہارے لئے بہتر ہے۔ اس صورت میں اس نے تمہاری توبہ قبول کی۔ بے شک وہ بڑا توبہ قبول کرنے والا، نہایت رحم والا ہے۔ - Najafi, Muhammad
