2:92

۞ وَلَقَدْ جَآءَكُم مُّوسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتِ ثُمَّ ٱتَّخَذْتُمُ ٱلْعِجْلَ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ وَأَنتُمْ ظَـٰلِمُونَ

walaqad jāakum mūsā bil-bayināti thumma ittakhadhtumu l-ʿij'la min baʿdihi wa-antum ẓālimūna

And Moses had certainly brought you clear proofs. Then you took the calf [in worship] after that, while you were wrongdoers.

— Saheeh International

Moses brought you clear signs, but then, while he was away, you chose to worship the calf- you did wrong.’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And indeed Mûsâ (Moses) came to you with clear proofs, yet you worshipped the calf after he left, and you were Zâlimûn (polytheists and wrongdoers).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
