Translation of Verse 14-21

14. And when he reached full strength and maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. This is how We reward the good-doers.

15. ˹One day˺ he entered the city unnoticed by its people. 793 There he found two men fighting: one of his own people, and the other of his enemies. The man from his people called to him for help against his foe. So Moses punched him, causing his death. Moses cried, "This is from Satan's handiwork. He is certainly a sworn, misleading enemy."

16. He pleaded, "My Lord! I have definitely wronged my soul, so forgive me." So He forgave him, ˹for˺ He is indeed the All- Forgiving, Most Merciful.

17. Moses pledged, "My Lord! For all Your favours upon me, I will never side with the wicked."

18. And so Moses became fearful, watching out in the city, when suddenly the one who sought his help the day before cried out to him again for help. Moses rebuked him, "Indeed, you are clearly a trouble-maker."

19. Then when Moses was about to lay his hands on their foe, 794 the enemy said, "O Moses! Do you intend to kill me as you killed a man yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land. You do not intend to make peace!"

20. And there came a man, rushing from the farthest end of the city. He said, "O Moses! The chiefs are actually conspiring against you to put you to death, so leave ˹the city˺. I really advise you ˹to do so˺."

21. So Moses left the city in a state of fear and caution, praying, "My Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing people."


Commentary

793. In his adulthood, Moses and Pharaoh's people were not on good terms because he started to question their evil practices.

794. The man assumed that Moses was going to hit him.
