You (could) have destroyed them
O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed upon you, and fulfil your covenant with Me as I fulfil My Covenant with you, and fear none but Me.
And believe in what I reveal, confirming the revelation which is with you, and be not the first to reject Faith therein, nor sell My Signs for a small price; and fear Me, and Me alone.
And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive.
以色列的後裔啊!你们当铭记我所赐你们的恩惠,你们当履行对我的约言,我就履行对你们的约言;你们应当只畏惧我。
你们当信我所降示的,这能证实你们所有的经典,你们不要做首先不信的人,不要以廉价出卖我的迹象,你们应当只敬畏我。
穆萨从他的宗族中拣选了七十个人来赴我的约会;当他们为地震所袭击的时候,他说:“我的主啊!假若你意欲,那末,以前你早已毁灭他们和我。难道你要为我们中的愚人的行为而毁灭我们吗?这只是你的考验,你借此使你意欲者误入歧途,使你意欲者走上正道。你是我们的保护者,故求你饶恕我们,慈悯我们。你是最善的饶恕者。
