وَإِذْ And when أَخَذْنَا We took مِيثَـٰقَكُمْ your covenant وَرَفَعْنَا and We raised فَوْقَكُمُ over you ٱلطُّورَ the mount خُذُوا۟ Hold مَآ what ءَاتَيْنَـٰكُم We gave you بِقُوَّةٍۢ with firmness وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۖ and listen قَالُوا۟ They said سَمِعْنَا We heard وَعَصَيْنَا and we disobeyed وَأُشْرِبُوا۟ And they were made to drink فِى in قُلُوبِهِمُ their hearts ٱلْعِجْلَ (love of) the calf بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ because of their disbelief قُلْ Say بِئْسَمَا Evil (is) that يَأْمُرُكُم orders you (to do) it بِهِۦٓ with إِيمَـٰنُكُمْ your faith إِن if كُنتُم you are مُّؤْمِنِينَ believers ٩٣
And [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
