நாம் இஸ்ராயீலின் சந்ததியினரைக் கடலைக்கடந்து (அழைத்துச்) சென்றபோது, தங்களுக்குரிய விக்கிரகங்களை ஆராதனை செய்து கொண்டிருந்த ஒரு கூட்டத்தார் அருகே (அவர்கள்) சென்றார்கள். உடனே அவர்கள், "மூஸாவே! அவர்களிடமிருக்கும் கடவுள்களைப் போல் நமக்கும் நீங்கள் ஒரு கடவுளை ஆக்கித்தருவீர்களாக!" என்று வேண்டினர்; "நிச்சயமாக நீங்கள் ஓர் அறிவில்லாத கூட்டத்தாராக இருக்கின்றீர்கள்" என்று மூஸா (அவர்களிடம்) கூறினார்.

ඉස්රාඊල් දරුවන් මුහුද තරණය කරන්නට අපි සැලැස්සුවෙමු. පසුව තමන් සතු පිළිමවලට නමදිමින් සිටින පිරිසක් වෙත ඔවුහු පැමිණියෝ ය. ‘අහෝ මූසා! ඔවුන් සතුව ඇති දෙවියන් මෙන් දෙවියකු අප වෙනුවෙන් පත් කරනු’ යැයි ඔවුහු පැවසුවෝ ය. ‘සැබැවින් ම නුඹලා අඥානකමින් සිටින පිරිසකැ’යි ඔහු පැවසුවේ ය.

اور ہم نے بنی اسرائیل کو دریا سے پار اتار دیا۔ پس ان لوگوں کا ایک قوم پر گزر ہوا جو اپنے چند بتوں سے لگے بیٹھے تھے، کہنے لگے اے موسیٰ! ہمارے لیے بھی ایک معبود ایسا ہی مقرر کر دیجئے! جیسے ان کے یہ معبود ہیں۔ آپ نے فرمایا کہ واقعی تم لوگوں میں بڑی جہالت ہے۔
