فَرَجَعَ Then Musa returned مُوسَىٰٓ Then Musa returned إِلَىٰ to قَوْمِهِۦ his people غَضْبَـٰنَ angry أَسِفًۭا ۚ (and) sorrowful قَالَ He said يَـٰقَوْمِ O my people أَلَمْ Did not يَعِدْكُمْ promise you رَبُّكُمْ your Lord وَعْدًا a promise حَسَنًا ۚ good أَفَطَالَ Then, did seem long عَلَيْكُمُ to you ٱلْعَهْدُ the promise أَمْ or أَرَدتُّمْ did you desire أَن that يَحِلَّ descend عَلَيْكُمْ upon you غَضَبٌۭ (the) Anger مِّن of رَّبِّكُمْ your Lord فَأَخْلَفْتُم so you broke مَّوْعِدِى (the) promise to me ٨٦
So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"
