Salaam all,
Qala ya moosa innee istafaytuka AAala alnnasi birisalatee wabikalamee fakhuth ma ataytuka wakun mina alshshakireena
The Aya says:
He (Allah) said: “O Moses I have selected you above the people for my messages and for my speech. Therefore take what I gave you and be among the thankful”.
My personal note:
The BI that preceded risalati= my messages and Kalami= my speech signifies close linkage with the act of selection of Moses. This could be selecting by the speech and messages and it also could also means that he was specifically selected to receive the two and it could be the combination of the two and more.
The Aya ends up by asking Moses to be amongst the thankful. Here, one is to understand that thanking is through words, in the heart and in actions as well.
Translation of the transliterated words:
Qala: He (Allah) said/ communicated/ responded
Note: QALA is derived from the root Qaf-W-L and it means saying in any way possible. QALA is an action that is completed that is derived from the root. It means the action of saying happened by the subject (third person singular). This, in turn means: He said or responded or communicated.

innee: I
istafaytuka: chose you (singular)/ I picked you/ selected you
