And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
اردو — مودودی
پھر جب موسیٰؑ نے ارادہ کیا کہ دشمن قوم کے آدمی پر حملہ کرے تو وہ پکار اٹھا "اے موسیٰؑ، کیا آج تو مجھے اُسی طرح قتل کرنے لگا ہے جس طرح کل ایک شخص کو قتل کر چکا ہے، تو اس ملک میں جبّار بن کر رہنا چاہتا ہے، اصلاح نہیں کرنا چاہتا"
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Maka tatkala Musa hendak memegang dengan keras orang yang menjadi musuh keduanya, musuhnya berkata: "Hai Musa, apakah kamu bermaksud hendak membunuhku, sebagaimana kamu kemarin telah membunuh seorang manusia? Kamu tidak bermaksud melainkan hendak menjadi orang yang berbuat sewenang-wenang di negeri (ini), dan tiadalah kamu hendak menjadi salah seorang dari orang-orang yang mengadakan perdamaian".
Ibn Kathir
How the Secret of this Killing became known
Allah tells us that when Musa killed that Coptic,
فِى الْمَدِينَةِ خَآئِفاً
(he became afraid in the city) meaning, of the consequences of his action,
يَتَرَقَّبُ
(looking about) means, turning around and watching out, waiting for the consequences of his action to befall him. He went out and about, and saw the man who sought his help the day before, fighting with another Coptic. When Musa passed by him, he called for his help again, against this other Coptic. Musa said to him:
إِنَّكَ لَغَوِىٌّ مُّبِينٌ
(Verily, you are a plain misleader!) meaning, `you obviously lead people astray and are very evil.' Then Musa intended to attack that Coptic, but the Israelite -- because of his own cowardice and weakness -- thought that Musa wanted to hit him because of what he had said, so he said, in self-defence --
يمُوسَى أَتُرِيدُ أَن تَقْتُلَنِى كَمَا قَتَلْتَ نَفْساً بِالاٌّمْسِ
(O Musa! Is it your intention to kill me as you killed a man yesterday) Nobody except him and Musa, peace be upon him, knew about it, but when the other Coptic heard this, he took the news to Fir`awn's gate and told him about it. So Fir`awn came to know of it, and he became very angry and resolved to kill Musa, so he sent people after him to bring him to him.

فلما أن أراد موسى أن يبطش بالقبطي، قال: أتريد أن تقتلني كما قتلت نفسًا بالأمس؟ ما تريد إلا أن تكون طاغية في الأرض، وما تريد أن تكون من الذين يصلحون بين الناس.
