{28:18} And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."

I suggest,
{28:18} And he met the morning in the city fearful, looking out, when suddenly the one who sought his help the day before cries out to him. Moses said to him, "You indeed are an obvious beguiler."

Quote:
{28:19} 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."

I suggest,
{28:19} And when he wanted to hit the one who was an enemy to them, he said, "O Moses, do you want to kill me like you killed a soul yesterday? You want but to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the reconcilers."
