And Aaron had already told them before , "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order. "
And, indeed, even before had Aaron said unto them: "O my people! You are but being tempted to evil by this -for, behold, your Sustainer is the Most Gracious! Follow me, then, and obey my bidding!"
And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order.
Certainly Aaron had said to them even before (the return of Moses): "My people, you were fallen into error because of the calf. Surely your Lord is Most Compassionate; so follow me and obey my command."
Harun had said to them earlier: "O my people, be careful, you have, consented to this enticement while your Allah is the Creator, AL-Rahman; therefore, follow me and obey my command"
Aaron had warned them saying: "This is a trial for you. Your Lord is the Most Kind; follow me and listen to what I say."
And Hârûn (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allâh) the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order."

Hārūn had already said to them, "O my people, you have only been led astray with it, and your Lord is the RaHmān (All-Merciful). So follow me and obey my command."
Aaron did say to them, ‘My people, this calf is a test for you. Your true Lord is the Lord of Mercy, so follow me and obey my orders,’
Yet Aaron had aforetime said to them, 'My people, you have been tempted by this thing, no more; surety your Lord is the All-merciful; therefore follow me, and obey my commandment!'
Aaron too told them before, 'O my people! ye are only being tried thereby; and, verily, your Lord is the Merciful, so follow me and obey my bidding. '
What! Do they not see that it does not answer them in speech, and cannot control for them harm or profit?
And Harûn (Aaron) had indeed earlier said to them, "O my people, surely you have only been tempted by (this calf); and surely your Lord is The All-Merciful; so closely follow me, and obey my command. "
And Aaron had said unto them before, O my people, verily ye are only proved by this calf; for your Lord is the Merciful: Wherefore follow me, and obey my command.
And before this, Haroon (Aaron) had already said to them: "O my people! You are being tested in this: And surely, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Gracious (Rahmán): So follow me and obey my command. "
