The list of uses in the Quran correctly translates this as the Maadhi (past tense), but the main page incorrectly translates it as a command (and says plural command).

…should the transliteration not read: itasamu ?

The transliteration is matching the plural command but the arabic has a fathah on the Saad which means it is the Maadhi, not the command. I think the proper fix here would be to put a kasrah on the Saad. In the quran it is used in both Maadhi form and in command form so it is a bit confusing whcih one it is here, but for sure there is a mistake in the arabic not matching the translateration+translation.
