Quote:
{5:25} [Moses] said, "My Lord, indeed I do not possess except myself and my brother, so part us from the defiantly disobedient people."

{5:26} [God] said, "Then indeed, it is forbidden to them for forty years [in which] they will wander throughout the land. So do not grieve over the defiantly disobedient people."

I suggest,
{5:25} [Moses] said, "Lord, verily I do not control but myself and my brother, so part us from the deviant folk."

{5:26} [God] said, "Then verily, it is forbidden to them for forty years wandering in the land. So, do not mourn for the deviant folk."

I would keep it simple; instead of "control" or "possess," I would just use "have."

I like that. Let's make it,
{5:25} [Moses] said, "Lord, verily I do not have but myself and my brother, so part us from the deviant folk."
