Qala rabbi innee akhafu an yukaththibooni

وَيَضِيقُ صَدْرِي وَلَا يَنطَلِقُ لِسَانِي فَأَرْسِلْ إِلَىٰ هَارُونَ
Wayadeequ sadree wala yantaliqu lisanee faarsil ila haroona
And straitens my breast and not expresses well my tongue, so send for Harun.
and then my breast will be straitened and my tongue will not be free: send, then, [this Thy command] to Aaron.
"My breast will be straitened. And my speech may not go (smoothly): so send unto Aaron.
And I shall be embarrassed, and my tongue will not speak plainly, therefor send for Aaron (to help me).
And my breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, so send for Aaron (too).
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
وَلَهُمْ عَلَيَّ ذَنبٌ فَأَخَافُ أَن يَقْتُلُونِ
Walahum AAalayya thanbun faakhafu an yaqtulooni
And they have against me a crime, so I fear that they will kill me."
Moreover, they keep a grave charge [pending] against me, and I fear that they will slay me."
"And (further), they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."
And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.
And they have a crime against me, so I fear that they will kill me.
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
