Verse 150

وَلَمَّا And when رَجَعَ returned مُوسَىٰٓ Musa إِلَىٰ to قَوْمِهِۦ his people غَضْبَـٰنَ angry أَسِفًۭا and grieved قَالَ he said بِئْسَمَا Evil is what خَلَفْتُمُونِى you have done in my place مِنۢ from بَعْدِىٓ ۖ after me أَعَجِلْتُمْ Were you impatient أَمْرَ (over the) matter رَبِّكُمْ ۖ (of) your Lord وَأَلْقَى And he cast down ٱلْأَلْوَاحَ the tablets وَأَخَذَ and seized بِرَأْسِ by head أَخِيهِ his brother يَجُرُّهُۥٓ dragging him إِلَيْهِ ۚ to himself قَالَ He said ٱبْنَ O son أُمَّ (of) my mother إِنَّ Indeed ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱسْتَضْعَفُونِى considered me weak وَكَادُوا۟ and were about to يَقْتُلُونَنِى kill me فَلَا So (let) not تُشْمِتْ rejoice بِىَ over me ٱلْأَعْدَآءَ the enemies وَلَا and (do) not تَجْعَلْنِى place me مَعَ with ٱلْقَوْمِ the people ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ (who are) wrongdoing ١٥٠

And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people overpowered me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
