Quran (Progressive Muslims Organization)/12
1-6
[edit]| In the name of God, the Almighty, the Most Merciful. | Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi | |
| 012:001 | A.L.R., these are the signs of the clarifying Scripture. | Alif-lam-ra tilka ayatu alkitabi almubeenu |
| 012:002 | We have sent it down an Arabic Quran, perhaps you will comprehend. | Inna anzalnahu qur-anan AAarabiyyan laAAallakum taAAqiloona |
| 012:003 | We relate to you the best stories through what We have inspired to you in this Quran; and before it you were of those who were unaware. | Nahnu naqussu AAalayka ahsana alqasasi bima awhayna ilayka hatha alqur-ana wa-in kunta min qablihi lamina alghafileena |
| 012:004 | When Joseph said to his father: "My father, I have seen eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them submitting to me." | Ith qala yoosufu li-abeehi ya abati innee raaytu ahada AAashara kawkaban waalshshamsa waalqamara raaytuhum lee sajideena |
| 012:005 | He said: "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, or they will scheme against you. The devil is to man a clear enemy." | Qala ya bunayya la taqsus ru/yaka AAala ikhwatika fayakeedoo laka kaydan inna alshshaytana lil-insani AAaduwwun mubeenun |
| 012:006 | And as such, your Lord has chosen you, and He teaches you the interpretation of dreams, and He completes His blessings upon you and upon the descendants of Jacob, as He completed it for your fathers before that, Abraham and Isaac. Your Lord is Knowing, Wise. | Wakathalika yajtabeeka rabbuka wayuAAallimuka min ta/weeli al-ahadeethi wayutimmu niAAmatahu AAalayka waAAala ali yaAAqooba kama atammaha AAala abawayka min qablu ibraheema wa-ishaqa inna rabbaka AAaleemun hakeemun |
7-20
[edit]| 012:007 | It is thus that in Joseph and his brothers are signs for those who seek. | Laqad kana fee yoosufa wa-ikhwatihi ayatun lilssa-ileena |
| 012:008 | For they said: "Joseph and his brother are more loved by our father than us, while we are a numerous group. Our father is clearly misguided." | Ith qaloo layoosufu waakhoohu ahabbu ila abeena minna wanahnu AAusbatun inna abana lafee dalalin mubeenin |
| 012:009 | "Kill Joseph or cast him in the land, then your father's favour will be all yours, and after that you will be an upright people." | Oqtuloo yoosufa awi itrahoohu ardan yakhlu lakum wajhu abeekum watakoonoo min baAAdihi qawman saliheena |
| 012:010 | One amongst them said: "Do not kill Joseph, but if you are going to do anything, then cast him into the bottom of the well, so that anyone traveling by will pick him up." | Qala qa-ilun minhum la taqtuloo yoosufa waalqoohu fee ghayabati aljubbi yaltaqithu baAAdu alssayyarati in kuntum faAAileena |
| 012:011 | They said: "Our father, why do you not trust us with Joseph, we are to him well wishers." | Arsilhu maAAana ghadan yartaAA wayalAAab wa-inna lahu lahafithoona |
| 012:012 | "Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy and play, and we will take care of him." | Qala innee layahzununee an thathhaboo bihi waakhafu an ya/kulahu alththi/bu waantum AAanhu ghafiloona |
| 012:013 | He said: "It saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that the wolf would eat him if you would be absent of him." | Qala innee layahzununee an thathhaboo bihi waakhafu an ya/kulahu alththi/bu waantum AAanhu ghafiloona |
| 012:014 | They said: "If the wolf eats him, while we are a numerous group, then we are the losers." | Qaloo la-in akalahu alththi/bu wanahnu AAusbatun inna ithan lakhasiroona |
| 012:015 | So, when they went with him they had agreed to place him at the bottom of the well. And We inspired to him: "You will inform them of this act of theirs while they will not expect it." | Falamma thahaboo bihi waajmaAAoo an yajAAaloohu fee ghayabati aljubbi waawhayna ilayhi latunabi-annahum bi-amrihim hatha wahum la yashAAuroona |
| 012:016 | And they came to their father evening time crying. | Wajaoo abahum AAishaan yabkoona |
| 012:017 | They said: "Our father, we went to race and left Joseph by our things, and the wolf ate him! But you would not believe us even if we are truthful." | Qaloo ya abana inna thahabna nastabiqu watarakna yoosufa AAinda mataAAina faakalahu alththi/bu wama anta bimu/minin lana walaw kunna sadiqeena |
| 012:018 | And they came with his shirt stained in false blood. He said: "You have invented this tale yourselves. Patience is beautiful, and God's help is sought against what you describe." | Wajaoo AAala qameesihi bidamin kathibin qala bal sawwalat lakum anfusukum amran fasabrun jameelun waAllahu almustaAAanu AAala ma tasifoona |
| 012:019 | And a traveling caravan came and they sent their man to draw water, but when he drew he said: "Good news, there is a boy!" So they hid him as merchandise. And God is aware of what they do. | Wajaat sayyaratun faarsaloo waridahum faadla dalwahu qala ya bushra hatha ghulamun waasarroohu bidaAAatan waAllahu AAaleemun bima yaAAmaloona |
| 012:020 | And they sold him for a low price, a few silver coins, and they regarded him as insignificant. | Washarawhu bithamanin bakhsin darahima maAAdoodatin wakanoo feehi mina alzzahideena |
21-29
[edit]| 012:021 | And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife: "Make his stay generous, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son." And it was thus that We established Joseph in the land and to teach him the interpretation of dreams. And God has full power over matters, but most of mankind do not know. | Waqala allathee ishtarahu min misra liimraatihi akrimee mathwahu AAasa an yanfaAAana aw nattakhithahu waladan wakathalika makkanna liyoosufa fee al-ardi walinuAAallimahu min ta/weeli al-ahadeethi waAllahu ghalibun AAala amrihi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona |
| 012:022 | And when he reached his maturity, We gave him position and knowledge. It is thus that We reward the good doers. | Walamma balagha ashuddahu ataynahu hukman waAAilman wakathalika najzee almuhsineena |
| 012:023 | And the woman, in whose house he was staying, attempted to seduce him away from himself. And she closed the doors and said: "I have prepared myself for you." He said: "I seek refuge with God, He is my Lord, He made good my residence; the wicked do not succeed." | Warawadat-hu allatee huwa fee baytiha AAan nafsihi waghallaqati al-abwaba waqalat hayta laka qala maAAatha Allahi innahu rabbee ahsana mathwaya innahu la yuflihu alththalimoona |
| 012:024 | And she desired him and he desired her, had it not been that he saw His Lord's proof; it was thus that We turned evil and lewdness away from him; he is of Our loyal servants. | Walaqad hammat bihi wahamma biha lawla an raa burhana rabbihi kathalika linasrifa AAanhu alssoo-a waalfahshaa innahu min AAibadina almukhlaseena |
| 012:025 | And as they rushed towards the door, she tore his shirt from behind; and they found her master at the door. She said: "What is the punishment of he who wanted to molest your family? Is it not that he be jailed or punished painfully?" | Waistabaqa albaba waqaddat qameesahu min duburin waalfaya sayyidaha lada albabi qalat ma jazao man arada bi-ahlika soo-an illa an yusjana aw AAathabun aleemun |
| 012:026 | He said: "She is the one who seduced me from myself," and a witness from her family gave testimony: "If his shirt was torn from the front, then she is truthful, and he is the liar." | Qala hiya rawadatnee AAan nafsee washahida shahidun min ahliha in kana qameesuhu qudda min qubulin fasadaqat wahuwa mina alkathibeena |
| 012:027 | "And if his shirt is torn from behind, then she is lying, and he is truthful." | Wa-in kana qameesuhu qudda min duburin fakathabat wahuwa mina alssadiqeena |
| 012:028 | So when he saw that his shirt was torn from behind, he said: "This is from your female scheming, your female scheming is indeed great!" | Falamma raa qameesahu qudda min duburin qala innahu min kaydikunna inna kaydakunna AAatheemun |
| 012:029 | "Joseph, turn away from this. And you woman, seek forgiveness for your sin; you were of the wrongdoers." | Yoosufu aAArid AAan hatha waistaghfiree lithanbiki innaki kunti mina alkhati-eena |
30-35
[edit]| 012:030 | And some women in the city said: "The wife of the Governor is trying to seduce her young man from himself; she is taken by love. We see her clearly misguided." | Waqala niswatun fee almadeenati imraatu alAAazeezi turawidu fataha AAan nafsihi qad shaghafaha hubban inna lanaraha fee dalalin mubeenin |
| 012:031 | So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them, and she gave each one of them a knife. And she said: "Come out to them," so when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, and they said: "God be praised, this is not a human, but a blessed Angel!" | Falamma samiAAat bimakrihinna arsalat ilayhinna waaAAtadat lahunna muttakaan waatat kulla wahidatin minhunna sikkeenan waqalati okhruj AAalayhinna falamma raaynahu akbarnahu waqattaAAna aydiyahunna waqulna hasha lillahi ma hatha basharan in hatha illa malakun kareemun |
| 012:032 | She said: "This is the one whom you blamed me for, and I have seduced him from himself but he refused. And if he does not do as I command him, he will be imprisoned, and he will be one of those disgraced." | Qalat fathalikunna allathee lumtunnanee feehi walaqad rawadtuhu AAan nafsihi faistAAsama wala-in lam yafAAal ma amuruhu layusjananna walayakoonan mina alssaghireena |
| 012:033 | He said: "My Lord, prison is better to me than what they are inviting me to do. And if You do not turn their scheming away from me, I will fall for them and be of the ignorant." | Qala rabbi alssijnu ahabbu ilayya mimma yadAAoonanee ilayhi wa-illa tasrif AAannee kaydahunna asbu ilayhinna waakun mina aljahileena |
| 012:034 | So his Lord responded to him, and He turned away their scheming from him. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable. | Faistajaba lahu rabbuhu fasarafa AAanhu kaydahunna innahu huwa alssameeAAu alAAaleemu |
| 012:035 | But it appealed to them, even after they had seen the signs, to imprison him until a time. | Thumma bada lahum min baAAdi ma raawoo al-ayati layasjununnahu hatta heenin |
36-42
[edit]| 012:036 | And with him in the prison entered two young men. One of them said: "I dreamt that I was pressing wine," and the other said: "I dreamt that I was carrying bread on top of my head, and that the birds were eating from it." "Tell us what this means, for we see that you are of the good doers." | Wadakhala maAAahu alssijna fatayani qala ahaduhuma innee aranee aAAsiru khamran waqala al-akharu innee aranee ahmilu fawqa ra/see khubzan ta/kulu alttayru minhu nabbi/na bita/weelihi inna naraka mina almuhsineena |
| 012:037 | He said: "There is not any provision of food that will come to you except that I will tell you of its interpretation before it comes. That is from what my Lord has taught me. I have just left the creed of a people who do not believe in God, and they are rejecting the Hereafter." | Qala la ya/teekuma taAAamun turzaqanihi illa nabba/tukuma bita/weelihi qabla an ya/tiyakuma thalikuma mimma AAallamanee rabbee innee taraktu millata qawmin la yu/minoona biAllahi wahum bial-akhirati hum kafiroona |
| 012:038 | "And I followed the creed of my fathers: Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. It was not for us to set up partners with God at all. That is God's blessings over us and over mankind, but most of mankind are not thankful." | WaittabaAAtu millata aba-ee ibraheema wa-ishaqa wayaAAqooba ma kana lana an nushrika biAllahi min shay-in thalika min fadli Allahi AAalayna waAAala alnnasi walakinna akthara alnnasi la yashkuroona |
| 012:039 | "O my fellow inmates, are various lords better, or God, the One, the Omniscient?" | Ya sahibayi alssijni aarbabun mutafarriqoona khayrun ami Allahu alwahidu alqahharu |
| 012:040 | "What you serve besides God is nothing but names which you have created you and your fathers, God did not send down any authority for such. The judgment is for none but God. He ordered that none be served but He. That is the true system, but most of mankind do not know." | Ma taAAbudoona min doonihi illa asmaan sammaytumooha antum waabaokum ma anzala Allahu biha min sultanin ini alhukmu illa lillahi amara alla taAAbudoo illa iyyahu thalika alddeenu alqayyimu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona |
| 012:041 | "My fellow inmates, one of you will be serving wine for his lord, while the other will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. The matter which you have sought is now concluded." | Ya sahibayi alssijni amma ahadukuma fayasqee rabbahu khamran waamma al-akharu fayuslabu fata/kulu alttayru min ra/sihi qudiya al-amru allathee feehi tastaftiyani |
| 012:042 | And he said to the one whom he thought would be saved of them: "Mention me to your lord." But the devil made him forget to mention to his lord, so He remained in prison for a few years. | Waqala lillathee thanna annahu najin minhuma othkurnee AAinda rabbika faansahu alshshaytanu thikra rabbihi falabitha fee alssijni bidAAa sineena |
43-49
[edit]| 012:043 | And the King said: "I continue to dream of seven fat cows which are being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry. O you commanders, tell me what my vision means if you are able to interpret the visions." | Waqala almaliku innee ara sabAAa baqaratin simanin ya/kuluhunna sabAAun AAijafun wasabAAa sunbulatin khudrin waokhara yabisatin ya ayyuha almalao aftoonee fee ru/yaya in kuntum lilrru/ya taAAburoona |
| 012:044 | They said: "It is nothing but bad dreams; and we are not knowledgeable in the interpretation of dreams." | Qaloo adghathu ahlamin wama nahnu bita/weeli al-ahlami biAAalimeena |
| 012:045 | And the one of them who had been saved and remembered after all this time said: "I will tell you of its interpretation, so have me dispatched." | Waqala allathee naja minhuma waiddakara baAAda ommatin ana onabbi-okum bita/weelihi faarsilooni |
| 012:046 | "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us the matter regarding seven fat cows being eaten by seven thin ones, and seven green pods and others which are dry? Then perhaps I may go back to the people so they will know." | Yoosufu ayyuha alssiddeequ aftina fee sabAAi baqaratin simanin ya/kuluhunna sabAAun AAijafun wasabAAi sunbulatin khudrin waokhara yabisatin laAAallee arjiAAu ila alnnasi laAAallahum yaAAlamoona |
| 012:047 | He said: "You will plant regularly for seven years, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat." | Qala tazraAAoona sabAAa sineena daaban fama hasadtum fatharoohu fee sunbulihi illa qaleelan mimma ta/kuloona |
| 012:048 | "Then will come seven after that which are severe in drought and which will consume all that you plant except for what you have stored." | Thumma ya/tee min baAAdi thalika sabAAun shidadun ya/kulna ma qaddamtum lahunna illa qaleelan mimma tuhsinoona |
| 012:049 | "Then after that will come a calendar year in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again." | Thumma ya/tee min baAAdi thalika AAamun feehi yughathu alnnasu wafeehi yaAAsiroona |
50-57
[edit]| 012:050 | And the King said: "Bring him to me." So when the messenger came to him, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him what was the matter regarding the women that cut their hands? My Lord is well aware of their scheming." | Waqala almaliku i/toonee bihi falamma jaahu alrrasoolu qala irjiAA ila rabbika fais-alhu ma balu alnniswati allatee qattaAAna aydiyahunna inna rabbee bikaydihinna AAaleemun |
| 012:051 | He said: "What is your plea that you tried to seduce Joseph from himself?" They said: "God forbid that we would do any harm to him." The wife of the Governor said: "Now the truth must be known, I did seek to seduce Joseph from himself and he is of the truthful ones." | Qala ma khatbukunna ith rawadtunna yoosufa AAan nafsihi qulna hasha lillahi ma AAalimna AAalayhi min soo-in qalati imraatu alAAazeezi al-ana hashasa alhaqqu ana rawadtuhu AAan nafsihi wa-innahu lamina alssadiqeena |
| 012:052 | "That is so he knows that I will not betray him while he is not present and that God does not guide the scheming of the betrayers." | Thalika liyaAAlama annee lam akhunhu bialghaybi waanna Allaha la yahdee kayda alkha-ineena |
| 012:053 | "And I do not make myself free of blame, for the soul is inclined to sin, except what my Lord has mercy on. My Lord is Forgiving, Merciful." | Wama obarri-o nafsee inna alnnafsa laammaratun bialssoo-i illa ma rahima rabbee inna rabbee ghafoorun raheemun |
| 012:054 | And the King said: "Bring him to me so that I may employ him to my person." So when he spoke to him, he said: "Today you are with us in high rank and trusted." | Waqala almaliku i/toonee bihi astakhlishu linafsee falamma kallamahu qala innaka alyawma ladayna makeenun ameenun |
| 012:055 | He said: "Make me keeper over the granaries of the land, for I know how to keep records and I am knowledgeable." | Qala ijAAalnee AAala khaza-ini al-ardi innee hafeethun AAaleemun |
| 012:056 | And it was such that We gave Joseph authority in the land, to travel in it as he pleases. We bestow Our mercy upon whom We please, and We do not waste the reward of the good doers. | Wakathalika makanna liyoosufa fee al-ardi yatabawwao minha haythu yashao nuseebu birahmatina man nashao wala nudeeAAu ajra almuhsineena |
| 012:057 | And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and were aware. | Walaajru al-akhirati khayrun lillatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona |
58-68
[edit]| 012:058 | And Joseph's brothers came and entered upon him, and he recognized them, but they did not recognize him. | Wajaa ikhwatu yoosufa fadakhaloo AAalayhi faAAarafahum wahum lahu munkiroona |
| 012:059 | So, when he furnished them with their provisions, he said: "Bring me a step-brother of yours who is from your father. Do you not see that I give full measure of grain and that I am the best of hosts?" | Walamma jahhazahum bijahazihim qala i/toonee bi-akhin lakum min abeekum ala tarawna annee oofee alkayla waana khayru almunzileena |
| 012:060 | "But if you do not bring him to me, then there shall be no measure of grain for you with me, and do not come near me." | Fa-in lam ta/toonee bihi fala kayla lakum AAindee wala taqrabooni |
| 012:061 | They said: "We will try to get him away from his father, and we shall be successful." | Qaloo sanurawidu AAanhu abahu wa-inna lafaAAiloona |
| 012:062 | And he said to his servants: "Return their goods back into their bags, so that they will recognize it when they return to their family and they will come back again." | Waqala lifityanihi ijAAaloo bidaAAatahum fee rihalihim laAAallahum yaAArifoonaha itha inqalaboo ila ahlihim laAAallahum yarjiAAoona |
| 012:063 | So when they returned to their father, they said: "Our father, we have been banned from getting anymore measure of grain, so send our brother with us so we may be given measure of grain, and we will be his guardians." | Falamma rajaAAoo ila abeehim qaloo ya abana muniAAa minna alkaylu faarsil maAAana akhana naktal wa-inna lahu lahafithoona |
| 012:064 | He said: "Shall I trust him with you as I trusted you with Joseph before that? God is the best guardian, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy." | Qala hal amanukum AAalayhi illa kama amintukum AAala akheehi min qablu faAllahu khayrun hafithan wahuwa arhamu alrrahimeena |
| 012:065 | So when they opened their bags, they found their goods had been returned to them, and they said: "Our father, what more can we desire, this is our goods returned to us, so we can get more for our family, and be guardians over our brother, and increase a measure of grain to load a camel. That is truly an easy measure!" | Walamma fatahoo mataAAahum wajadoo bidaAAatahum ruddat ilayhim qaloo ya abana ma nabghee hathihi bidaAAatuna ruddat ilayna wanameeru ahlana wanahfathu akhana wanazdadu kayla baAAeerin thalika kaylun yaseerun |
| 012:066 | He said: "I will not send him with you until you come to me with a covenant to God that you will bring him back unless you are completely overtaken". So when they brought him the covenant, he said: "God is placed in trust over what we say." | Qala lan orsilahu maAAakum hatta tu/tooni mawthiqan mina Allahi lata/tunnanee bihi illa an yuhata bikum falamma atawhu mawthiqahum qala Allahu AAala ma naqoolu wakeelun |
| 012:067 | And he said: "My sons, do not enter from one gate, but enter from separate gates; and I cannot avail you anything against God, for the judgment is to God. In Him I put my trust, and in Him those who put their trust should trust." | Waqala ya baniyya la tadkhuloo min babin wahidin waodkhuloo min abwabin mutafarriqatin wama oghnee AAankum mina Allahi min shay-in ini alhukmu illa lillahi AAalayhi tawakkaltu waAAalayhi falyatawakkali almutawakkiloona |
| 012:068 | And when they entered from where their father had commanded them, it would not have availed them in the least against God, but it was out of a concern in Jacob's soul that he brought out. And he is with knowledge for what We have taught him, but most men do not know. | Walamma dakhaloo min haythu amarahum aboohum ma kana yughnee AAanhum mina Allahi min shay-in illa hajatan fee nafsi yaAAqooba qadaha wa-innahu lathoo AAilmin lima AAallamnahu walakinna akthara alnnasi la yaAAlamoona |
69-79
[edit]| 012:069 | And when they entered upon Joseph, he called his brother to himself and said: "I am your brother, so do not be saddened by what they have done." | Walamma dakhaloo AAala yoosufa awa ilayhi akhahu qala innee ana akhooka fala tabta-is bima kanoo yaAAmaloona |
| 012:070 | So when he furnished them with their provisions, he placed the measuring bowl in his brothers bag, then a caller cried out: "O you in the caravan, you are thieves!" | Falamma jahhazahum bijahazihim jaAAala alssiqayata fee rahli akheehi thumma aththana mu-aththinun ayyatuha alAAeeru innakum lasariqoona |
| 012:071 | They said, while coming towards him: "What is it you are missing?" | Qaloo waaqbaloo AAalayhim matha tafqidoona |
| 012:072 | He said: "We are missing the measuring bowl of the King, and for whomever can produce it, we will give a camel's load, and I will be bound by this." | Qaloo nafqidu suwaAAa almaliki waliman jaa bihi himlu baAAeerin waana bihi zaAAeemun |
| 012:073 | They said: "By God, you know we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we are no thieves!" | Qaloo taAllahi laqad AAalimtum ma ji/na linufsida fee al-ardi wama kunna sariqeena |
| 012:074 | He said: "What shall be the punishment, if you are not truthful?" | Qaloo fama jazaohu in kuntum kathibeena |
| 012:075 | They said: "The punishment is that whomever it is found in his bags, then to compensate is his punishment. It is such that we punish the wicked." | Qaloo jazaohu man wujida fee rahlihi fahuwa jazaohu kathalika najzee alththalimeena |
| 012:076 | So he began with their bags before his brother's bag. Then he brought it out of his brother's bag. It was such that We planned for Joseph, for he would not have been able to take his brother under the King's system, except that God wished it so. We raise the degrees of whom We please, and over every one of knowledge is the All Knowledgeable. | Fabadaa bi-awAAiyatihim qabla wiAAa-i akheehi thumma istakhrajaha min wiAAa-i akheehi kathalika kidna liyoosufa ma kana liya/khutha akhahu fee deeni almaliki illa an yashaa Allahu narfaAAu darajatin man nashao wafawqa kulli thee AAilmin AAaleemun |
| 012:077 | They said: "If he has stolen, there was a brother of his before who also had stolen." Joseph kept this all inside himself, and did not reveal anything to them. He said: "You are in an awkward position, and God best knows what you describe." | Qaloo in yasriq faqad saraqa akhun lahu min qablu faasarraha yoosufu fee nafsihi walam yubdiha lahum qala antum sharrun makanan waAllahu aAAlamu bima tasifoona |
| 012:078 | They said: "O Governor, he has an elderly father, so take one of us in his place. Indeed we see you as one of the good doers." | Qaloo ya ayyuha alAAazeezu inna lahu aban shaykhan kabeeran fakhuth ahadana makanahu inna naraka mina almuhsineena |
| 012:079 | He said: "God forbid that we would take anyone except he whom we found our belongings with. Indeed, we would then be wrong doers." | Qala maAAatha Allahi an na/khutha illa man wajadna mataAAana AAindahu inna ithan lathalimoona |
80-93
[edit]| 012:080 | So when they gave-up from him, they held a conference in private. The eldest of them said: "Did you not know that your father has taken a covenant over you with God, and before this you also failed in your duty with Joseph? I will not leave this land until my father permits me to do so or that God will judge for me. He is the best of judges." | Falamma istay-asoo minhu khalasoo najiyyan qala kabeeruhum alam taAAlamoo anna abakum qad akhatha AAalaykum mawthiqan mina Allahi wamin qablu ma farrattum fee yoosufa falan abraha al-arda hatta ya/thana lee abee aw yahkuma Allahu lee wahuwa khayru alhakimeena |
| 012:081 | "Return to your father, and tell him: "Our father, your son has stolen, and we did not witness except what we learned, and we could not know the unseen!" | IrjiAAoo ila abeekum faqooloo ya abana inna ibnaka saraqa wama shahidna illa bima AAalimna wama kunna lilghaybi hafitheena |
| 012:082 | "And ask the people of the town which we were in, and the caravan which we have returned with. We are being truthful." | Wais-ali alqaryata allatee kunna feeha waalAAeera allatee aqbalna feeha wa-inna lasadiqoona |
| 012:083 | He replied: "No, for it is your own souls that have conspired you to this. So patience is most fitting, perhaps God will bring them all to me. He is the Knowledgeable, the Wise." | Qala bal sawwalat lakum anfusukum amran fasabrun jameelun AAasa Allahu an ya/tiyanee bihim jameeAAan innahu huwa alAAaleemu alhakeemu |
| 012:084 | And he turned away from them and said: "Oh, my sorry over Joseph." And his eyes turned white from sadness, and he became blind. | Watawalla AAanhum waqala ya asafa AAala yoosufa waibyaddat AAaynahu mina alhuzni fahuwa katheemun |
| 012:085 | They said: "By God, will you never cease to remember Joseph until you become senile or you are dead!" | Qaloo taAllahi taftao tathkuru yoosufa hatta takoona haradan aw takoona mina alhalikeena |
| 012:086 | He said: "I merely complain my grief and sorrow to God, and I know from God what you do not know." | Qala innama ashkoo baththee wahuznee ila Allahi waaAAlamu mina Allahi ma la taAAlamoona |
| 012:087 | "My sons, go and inquire about Joseph and his brother, and do not give-up from God's Spirit. The only people who would give-up from God's Spirit are the rejecters of faith." | Ya baniyya ithhaboo fatahassasoo min yoosufa waakheehi wala tay-asoo min rawhi Allahi innahu la yay-asu min rawhi Allahi illa alqawmu alkafiroona |
| 012:088 | So when they entered upon him, they said: "O Governor, we have been afflicted with harm, us and our family, and we have come with poor goods to trade, so give us a measure of grain, and be charitable towards us, for God does reward the charitable." | Falamma dakhaloo AAalayhi qaloo ya ayyuha alAAazeezu massana waahlana alddurru waji/na bibidaAAatin muzjatin faawfi lana alkayla watasaddaq AAalayna inna Allaha yajzee almutasaddiqeena |
| 012:089 | He said: "Do you know what you have done with Joseph and his brother, while you are ignorant?" | Qala hal AAalimtum ma faAAaltum biyoosufa waakheehi ith antum jahiloona |
| 012:090 | They said: "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said: "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. God has been gracious to us. For anyone who reveres God and is patient, then God will not waste the reward of the good doers." | Qaloo a-innaka laanta yoosufa qala ana yoosufu wahatha akhee qad manna Allahu AAalayna innahu man yattaqi wayasbir fa-inna Allaha la yudeeAAu ajra almuhsineena |
| 012:091 | They said: "By God, God has indeed preferred you over us and we were wrongdoers." | Qaloo taAllahi laqad atharaka Allahu AAalayna wa-in kunna lakhati-eena |
| 012:092 | He said: "There is no blame on you this day, may God forgive you, and He is the most Merciful of those who show mercy." | Qala la tathreeba AAalaykumu alyawma yaghfiru Allahu lakum wahuwa arhamu alrrahimeena |
| 012:093 | "Take this shirt of mine and cast it over my fathers face, and he will become with sight; and bring to me all your family." | Ithhaboo biqameesee hatha faalqoohu AAala wajhi abee ya/ti baseeran wa/toonee bi-ahlikum ajmaAAeena |
94-104
[edit]| 012:094 | And when the caravan departed, their father said: "I do indeed feel the scent of Joseph, except that you may think me senile." | Walamma fasalati alAAeeru qala aboohum innee laajidu reeha yoosufa lawla an tufannidooni |
| 012:095 | They said: "By God, you are back to your old misguidance." | Qaloo taAllahi innaka lafee dalalika alqadeemi |
| 012:096 | Then, when the bearer of good news came, he cast it over his face and he returned clear with sight. He said: "Did I not tell you that I know from God what you do not know?" | Falamma an jaa albasheeru alqahu AAala wajhihi fairtadda baseeran qala alam aqul lakum innee aAAlamu mina Allahi ma la taAAlamoona |
| 012:097 | They said: "Our father, ask forgiveness for our sins, indeed we have been wrong." | Qaloo ya abana istaghfir lana thunoobana inna kunna khati-eena |
| 012:098 | He said: "I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." | Qala sawfa astaghfiru lakum rabbee innahu huwa alghafooru alrraheemu |
| 012:099 | So when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to him and he said: "Enter Egypt, God willing, in security." | Falamma dakhaloo AAala yoosufa awa ilayhi abawayhi waqala odkhuloo misra in shaa Allahu amineena |
| 012:100 | And he raised his parents on the throne, and they fell in prostration to Him. And he said: "My father, this is the interpretation of my vision from before. My Lord has made it true, and He has been good to me that he took me out of prison and brought you out of the wilderness after the devil had placed a rift between me and my brothers. My Lord is kind to whom He wills. He is the Knowledgeable, the Wise." | WarafaAAa abawayhi AAala alAAarshi wakharroo lahu sujjadan waqala ya abati hatha ta/weelu ru/yaya min qablu qad jaAAalaha rabbee haqqan waqad ahsana bee ith akhrajanee mina alssijni wajaa bikum mina albadwi min baAAdi an nazagha alshshaytanu baynee wabayna ikhwatee inna rabbee lateefun lima yashao innahu huwa alAAaleemu alhakeemu |
| 012:101 | "My Lord, you have given me sovereignty and taught me the interpretations of what is supposed. Initiator of the heavens and Earth, you are my protector in this world and the Hereafter. Take me as one who has surrendered, and join me with the good doers." | Rabbi qad ataytanee mina almulki waAAallamtanee min ta/weeli al-ahadeethi fatira alssamawati waal-ardi anta waliyyee fee alddunya waal-akhirati tawaffanee musliman waalhiqnee bialssaliheena |
| 012:102 | That is from the news of the unseen that We inspire to you. You were not amongst them when they arranged their plan and were scheming. | Thalika min anba-i alghaybi nooheehi ilayka wama kunta ladayhim ith ajmaAAoo amrahum wahum yamkuroona |
| 012:103 | And most of the people, even if you are diligent, will not believe. | Wama aktharu alnnasi walaw harasta bimu/mineena |
| 012:104 | And you do not ask them for a wage for it, it is but a reminder to the worlds. | Wama tas-aluhum AAalayhi min ajrin in huwa illa thikrun lilAAalameena |
105-111
[edit]| 012:105 | And how many a sign in the heavens and the Earth do they pass by, while they are turning away from it. | Wakaayyin min ayatin fee alssamawati waal-ardi yamurroona AAalayha wahum AAanha muAAridoona |
| 012:106 | And most of them will not believe in God except while setting-up partners. | Wama yu/minu aktharuhum biAllahi illa wahum mushrikoona |
| 012:107 | Are they secure against the coming of a cover of retribution from God, or that the Hour would come to them suddenly while they do not perceive? | Afaaminoo an ta/tiyahum ghashiyatun min AAathabi Allahi aw ta/tiyahumu alssaAAatu baghtatan wahum la yashAAuroona |
| 012:108 | Say: "This is my way, I invite to God in full disclosure, myself and whomever follows me. And glory be to God. And I am not of those who set up partners." | Qul hathihi sabeelee adAAoo ila Allahi AAala baseeratin ana wamani ittabaAAanee wasubhana Allahi wama ana mina almushrikeena |
| 012:109 | And We have not sent before you except men, to whom We gave inspiration, from the people of the towns. Would they not roam the Earth and see how was the punishment of those before them? And the abode of the Hereafter is far better for those who are aware. Do you not comprehend? | Wama arsalna min qablika illa rijalan noohee ilayhim min ahli alqura afalam yaseeroo fee al-ardi fayanthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu allatheena min qablihim waladaru al-akhirati khayrun lillatheena ittaqaw afala taAAqiloona |
| 012:110 | Then, when the messengers gave up, and they thought that they have been denied, Our victory came to them. We then save whom We wish, and Our punishment cannot be swayed from the wicked people. | Hatta itha istay-asa alrrusulu wathannoo annahum qad kuthiboo jaahum nasruna fanujjiya man nashao wala yuraddu ba/suna AAani alqawmi almujrimeena |
| 012:111 | In their stories is a lesson for the people of intelligence. It was not a narration that was invented, but an authentication of what is already present and a detailing of all things, and a guidance and mercy to a people who believe. | Laqad kana fee qasasihim AAibratun li-olee al-albabi ma kana hadeethan yuftara walakin tasdeeqa allathee bayna yadayhi watafseela kulli shay-in wahudan warahmatan liqawmin yu/minoona |
