Those who took the calf (for worship) will indeed be overwhelmed with wrath from their Lord, and with shame in this life: thus do We recompense those who invent (falsehoods).

Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.

So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"

But those who dispute concerning Allah after He has been accepted,- futile is their dispute in the Sight of their Lord: on them will be a Penalty terrible.

奉牛犊为神灵的人们，将受他们主的谴怒，在今世必受凌辱。我这样报酬诬蔑真主的人。

既信真主之后，又表示不信者--除非被迫宣称不信、内心却为信仰而坚定者--为不信而心情舒畅者将遭天谴，并受重大的刑罚。

穆萨悲愤地转回去看他的宗族，他说：“我的宗族啊！难道你们的主，没有给你们一个美好的应许吗？你们觉得时间太长呢？ 还是你们想应受从你们的主发出的谴责，因而你们违背了对我的约言呢？”

众人既应召而信奉真主的宗教后，为它而辩驳者，据他们的主看来，他们的证据是无效的，他们应当遭谴怒，并受严刑。
