قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ
Q a l a rabban a innan a nakh a fu an yafru t a AAalayn a aw an ya t gh a
The two [brothers] said: "O our Sustainer! Verily, we fear lest he act hastily with regard to us,29 or lest he [continue to] transgress all bounds of equity."
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., "lest he prevent us, by banishing or killing us outright, from delivering Thy message fully".

Musa and Haroon said: "Our Rabb! We fear that he may behave towards us unjustly or may cross all bounds."
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
They both pleaded, 'Our Lord! We fear that he may be quick to harm us or act tyrannically.'
  - Mustafa Khattab
They said: Our Lord! Lo! we fear that he may be beforehand with us or that he may play the tyrant.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
They (Moses and Aaron) said: "Our Lord! we fear lest He hasten with insolence against us or lest he transgress all bounds." 2569
