وَفَعَلْتَ فَعْلَتَكَ ٱلَّتِى فَعَلْتَ وَأَنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ
WafaAAalta faAAlataka allatee faAAalta waanta mina alk a fireen a
And yet thou didst commit that [heinous] deed of thine,10 and [hast thus shown that] thou art one of the ingrate!"
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "thou didst commit thy deed which thou hast commited" - a construction meant to express the speaker's utter condemnation of the deed referred to: hence, my interpolation of the word "heinous". As regards the above allusions to Moses' childhood and youth at Pharaoh's court, the manslaughter committed by him, and his flight from Egypt, see {28:4-22}.

Then you did what you did; you are so ungrateful!"
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Then you did what you did,1 being 'utterly' ungrateful!'
  - Mustafa Khattab

 See previous footnote.

And thou didst that thy deed which thou didst, and thou wast one of the ingrates,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
"And thou didst a deed of thine which (thou knowest) thou didst and thou art an ungrateful (wretch)!" 3148
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Further, Pharaoh reminds Moses of his having slain the Egyptian, and taunts him: "You are not only a murderer: you are an ungrateful wretch" (using kafir again in a double sense) "to have killed one of the race that brought you up!"
