155 And Musa chose out of his people seventy men for Our appointment; so when the earthquake overtook them, he said: My Lord! if Thou hadst pleased, Thou hadst destroyed them before and myself (too); wilt Thou destroy us for what the fools among us have done? It is naught but Thy trial, Thou makest err with it whom Thou pleasest and guidest whom Thou pleasest: Thou art our Guardian, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us, and Thou art the best of the forgivers.
155 Na Musa akawateuwa watu sabiini katika kaumu yake kwa miadi yetu. Na ulipo fika mtetemeko mkubwa alisema: Ewe Mola wangu Mlezi! Ungeli taka ungeli wahiliki wao na mimi zamani! Unatuhiliki kwa waliyo yafanya wajinga katika sisi? Haya si chochote ila ni mtihani wako, umpoteze umtakaye na umhidi umtakaye. Wewe ndiye Rafiki Mlinzi wetu. Basi tughufirie na uturehemu.
