يُوْسُف
111 Ayaat مکیۃ
یٰصَاحِبَیِ السِّجْنِ اَمَّاۤ اَحَدُكُمَا فَیَسْقِیْ رَبَّهٗ خَمْرًاۚ-وَ اَمَّا الْاٰخَرُ فَیُصْلَبُ فَتَاْكُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْ رَّاْسِهٖؕ-قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ تَسْتَفْتِیٰنِؕ(۴۱)
O fellow-prisoners, one of you will serve wine to your master, the other will be crucified and the birds will peck at his brain. Determined is the matter of your inquiry."
Fellow-prisoners, as for one of you, he shall pour wine for his lord; as for the other, he shall be crucified, and birds will eat of his head. The matter is decided whereon you enquire.'
وَ قَالَ لِلَّذِیْ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِیْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ٘-فَاَنْسٰىهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِی السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِیْنَ۠(۴۲)
And (Joseph) asked the man he knew would be released: "Remember me to your lord;" but Satan made him forget to mention this to his lord, and Joseph remained in prison for a number of years.
Then he said to the one he deemed should be saved of the two, 'Mention me in thy lord's presence.' But Satan caused him to forget to mention him to his master, so that he continued in the prison for certain years.
وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰى سَبْعَ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّ سَبْعَ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّ اُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍؕ-یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَاُ اَفْتُوْنِیْ فِیْ رُءْیَایَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلرُّءْیَا تَعْبُرُوْنَ(۴۳)
(One day) the king said (to his courtiers): "I saw seven fat cows in a dream being devoured by seven lean ones, and seven ears of corn that were green and seven others that were seared. O courtiers, tell me the significance of my dream, if you know how to interpret them."
And the king said, 'I saw in a dream seven fat kine, and seven lean ones devouring them; likewise seven green ears of corn, and seven withered. My counsellors, pronounce to me upon my dream, if you are expounders of dreams.'
قَالُوْۤا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۚ-وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِتَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحْلَامِ بِعٰلِمِیْنَ(۴۴)
"They were only confused dreams," they said; "we do not know how to interpret them."
'A hotchpotch of nightmares!' they said. 'We know nothing of the interpretation of nightmares.'
وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْ نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَ ادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ فَاَرْسِلُوْنِ(۴۵)
Then the servant, who of the two had been released, remembering (Joseph), said: "I will give you its interpretation; let me go for it."
Then said the one who had been delivered, remembering after a time, 'I will myself tell you its interpretation; so send me forth.'
یُوْسُفُ اَیُّهَا الصِّدِّیْقُ اَفْتِنَا فِیْ سَبْعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّ سَبْعِ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّ اُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍۙ-لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَرْجِعُ اِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ(۴۶)
(And coming to the prison) he said: "O Joseph the truthful, tell us (the meaning of) seven fat cows being devoured by seven lean ones, and seven green ears of corn and seven seared, that I may go back to the people and tell them."
'Joseph, thou true man, pronounce to us regarding seven fat kine, that seven lean ones were devouring, seven green ears of corn, and seven withered; haply I shall return to the men, haply they will know.'
قَالَ تَزْرَعُوْنَ سَبْعَ سِنِیْنَ دَاَبًاۚ-فَمَا حَصَدْتُّمْ فَذَرُوْهُ فِیْ سُنْۢبُلِهٖۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تَاْكُلُوْنَ(۴۷)
He said: "Sow as usual for seven years, and after reaping leave the corn in the ears, except the little you need for food.
He said, 'You shall sow seven years after your wont; what you have harvested leave in the ear, excepting a little whereof you eat.
ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ یَّاْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُوْنَ(۴۸)
Then there will come seven years of hardship which will consume the grain you had laid up against them, except a little you may have stored away.
Then thereafter there shall come upon you seven hard years, that shall devour what you have laid up for them, all but a little you keep in store.
ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِیْهِ یُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَ فِیْهِ یَعْصِرُوْنَ۠(۴۹)
This will be followed by a year of rain, and people shall press (the grapes)."
Then thereafter there shall come a year wherein the people will be succoured and press in season.
وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖۚ-فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوْلُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَسْــٴَـلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ الّٰتِیْ قَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِكَیْدِهِنَّ عَلِیْمٌ(۵۰)
The king said: "Bring him to me. So when the messenger came to Joseph, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him: ´How fare the women who had cut their hands?´ My Lord is cognisant of their guile."
The king said, 'Bring him to me!' And when the messenger came to him, he said, 'Return unto thy lord, and ask of him, "What of the women who cut their hands?" Surely my Lord has knowledge of their guile.'
قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ اِذْ رَاوَدْتُّنَّ یُوْسُفَ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖؕ-قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنْ سُوْٓءٍؕ-قَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْــٴٰـنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ٘-اَنَا رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(۵۱)
The king asked the women: "What was the affair of seducing Joseph?" "God preserve us," they said; "we know no evil against him." The wife of the minister said: "The truth has now come out. It was I who desired to seduce him, but he is indeed a man of virtue." --
'What was your business, women,' he said, 'when you solicited Joseph?' 'God save us!' they said. 'We know no evil against him.' The Governor's wife said, 'Now the truth is at last discovered; I solicited him; he is a truthful man.
ذٰلِكَ لِیَعْلَمَ اَنِّیْ لَمْ اَخُنْهُ بِالْغَیْبِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ كَیْدَ الْخَآىٕنِیْنَ(۵۲)
(At this Joseph remarked:) "From this (the Minister) should know that I did not betray him in his absence, and that God does not surely let the wiles of those who betray ever succeed.
'That, so that he may know I betrayed him not secretly, and that God guides not the guile of the treacherous.
وَ مَاۤ اُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِیْۚ-اِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَاَمَّارَةٌۢ بِالسُّوْٓءِ اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(۵۳)
But I do not wish to absolve myself, for the soul is prone to evil, unless my Lord have mercy. Indeed my Lord is forgiving and kind." --
Yet I claim not that my soul was innocent -- surely the soul of man incites to evil -- except inasmuch as my Lord had mercy; truly my Lord is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.'
وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖۤ اَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِیْۚ-فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهٗ قَالَ اِنَّكَ الْیَوْمَ لَدَیْنَا مَكِیْنٌ اَمِیْنٌ(۵۴)
When the king heard this he said: "Bring him to me. I shall take him in my special service." When he had talked to him, he said: "Today you are established in a rank of trust with us."
The king said, 'Bring him to me! I would attach him to my person.' Then, when he had spoken with him, he said, 'Today thou art established firmly in our favour and in our trust.'
قَالَ اجْعَلْنِیْ عَلٰى خَزَآىٕنِ الْاَرْضِۚ-اِنِّیْ حَفِیْظٌ عَلِیْمٌ(۵۵)
"Appoint me over the granaries of the land," (he said); "I shall be a knowledgeable keeper."
He said, 'Set me over the land's storehouses; I am a knowing guardian.'
وَ كَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِیُوْسُفَ فِی الْاَرْضِۚ-یَتَبَوَّاُ مِنْهَا حَیْثُ یَشَآءُؕ-نُصِیْبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَنْ نَّشَآءُ وَ لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۵۶)
Thus We gave Joseph authority in the land so that he lived wherever he liked. We bestow Our favours on whomsoever We please, and do not allow the reward of those who are good to go waste.
So We established Joseph in the land, to make his dwelling there wherever he would. We visit with Our mercy whomsoever We will, and We leave not to waste the wage of the good-doers.
وَ لَاَجْرُ الْاٰخِرَةِ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ كَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ۠(۵۷)
And certainly the recompense of the life to come is better for those who believe and follow the right path.
Yet is the wage of the world to come better for those who believe, and are godfearing.
وَ جَآءَ اِخْوَةُ یُوْسُفَ فَدَخَلُوْا عَلَیْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَ هُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ(۵۸)
The brothers of Joseph came (to Egypt) and visited him. He recognised them, though they did not recognise him.
And the brethren of Joseph came, and entered unto him, and he knew them, but they knew him not.
وَ لَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِاَخٍ لَّكُمْ مِّنْ اَبِیْكُمْۚ-اَلَا تَرَوْنَ اَنِّیْۤ اُوْفِی الْكَیْلَ وَ اَنَا خَیْرُ الْمُنْزِلِیْنَ(۵۹)
When he had supplied their provisions, he said to them: "Bring your (half) brother with you. Have you not seen that I have given full measure, and that I am the best of hosts?
When he had equipped them with their equipment be said, 'Bring me a certain brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I fill up the measure, and am the best of hosts?
فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَاْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖ فَلَا كَیْلَ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْنِ(۶۰)
But if you do not bring him with you, then I shall have no grain for you, nor should you come back to me."
But if you bring him not to me, there shall be no measure for you with me, neither shall you come nigh me.'
قَالُوْا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ اَبَاهُ وَ اِنَّا لَفٰعِلُوْنَ(۶۱)
They said: "We shall request his father, and will certainly do that."
They said, 'We will solicit him of our father; that we will do.'
وَ قَالَ لِفِتْیٰنِهِ اجْعَلُوْا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِیْ رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَعْرِفُوْنَهَاۤ اِذَا انْقَلَبُوْۤا اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ(۶۲)
Then he ordered his servants: "Put their money back in their packs: They may find it on reaching home, and perhaps come again."
He said to his pages, 'Put their merchandise in their saddlebags; haply they will recognize it when they have turned to their people; haply they will return.
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوْۤا اِلٰۤى اَبِیْهِمْ قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَیْلُ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَاۤ اَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ(۶۳)
When they returned to their father, they said: "O father, a further measure has been denied us. So send our brother with us that he may bring more grain. We shall take care of him."
قَالَ هَلْ اٰمَنُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اِلَّا كَمَاۤ اَمِنْتُكُمْ عَلٰۤى اَخِیْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُؕ-فَاللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ حٰفِظًا۪-وَّ هُوَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ(۶۴)
He replied: "Should I trust you with him as I did his brother? But God is the best of guardians, and most merciful of all."
He said, 'And shall I entrust him to you otherwise than as I entrusted before his brother to you? Why, God is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful.'
وَ لَمَّا فَتَحُوْا مَتَاعَهُمْ وَجَدُوْا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ اِلَیْهِمْؕ-قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِیْؕ-هٰذِهٖ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ اِلَیْنَاۚ-وَ نَمِیْرُ اَهْلَنَا وَ نَحْفَظُ اَخَانَا وَ نَزْدَادُ كَیْلَ بَعِیْرٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ كَیْلٌ یَّسِیْرٌ(۶۵)
When they unpacked their goods they said: "O father, what more can we ask? Look, even our money has been returned. We shall go and bring a camel-load more of grain for our family, and take good care of our brother. That will be an easy measure."
And when they opened their things, they found their merchandise, restored to them. 'Father,' they said, 'what more should we desire? See, our merchandise here is restored to us. We shall get provision for our family, and we shall be watching over our brother; we shall obtain an extra camel's load -- that is an easy measure.
قَالَ لَنْ اُرْسِلَهٗ مَعَكُمْ حَتّٰى تُؤْتُوْنِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لَتَاْتُنَّنِیْ بِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّحَاطَ بِكُمْۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِیْلٌ(۶۶)
He said: "I will never send him with you until you swear by God that you will bring him back to me, unless all of you are overtaken (by misfortune)." When they had given their promise, he said: "God is witness to our conversation."
He said, 'Never will I send him with you until you bring me a solemn pledge by God that you will surely bring him back to me unless it be that you are encompassed.' When they had brought him their solemn pledge he said, 'God shall be Guardian over what we say.'
وَ قَالَ یٰبَنِیَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوْا مِنْۢ بَابٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَّ ادْخُلُوْا مِنْ اَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍؕ-وَ مَاۤ اُغْنِیْ عَنْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ-عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۚ-وَ عَلَیْهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ(۶۷)
(As they were leaving) their father said to them: "O my sons, do not seek one approach but employ different ways (of attaining your object). If anything should befall you from God I shall not be able to avert it, for all authority belongs to God. I have placed my trust in Him, and the trusting should rely on Him alone."
He also said, 'O my sons, enter not by one door; enter by separate doors. Yet I cannot avail you anything against God; judgment belongs not to any but God. In Him I have put my trust; and in Him let all put their trust who put their trust.'
وَ لَمَّا دَخَلُوْا مِنْ حَیْثُ اَمَرَهُمْ اَبُوْهُمْؕ-مَا كَانَ یُغْنِیْ عَنْهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِیْ نَفْسِ یَعْقُوْبَ قَضٰىهَاؕ-وَ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنٰهُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ۠(۶۸)
When they entered as their father had advised them, nothing could avail them against (the will of) God, yet it confirmed a premonition Jacob had, for verily he had knowledge as We had taught him, though most men do not know.
And when they entered after the manner their father commanded them, it availed them nothing against God; but it was a need in Jacob's soul that he so satisfied. Verily he was possessed of a knowledge for that We had taught him; but most men know not.
وَ لَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلٰى یُوْسُفَ اٰوٰۤى اِلَیْهِ اَخَاهُ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اَنَا اَخُوْكَ فَلَا تَبْتَىٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(۶۹)
When they came to Joseph he made his brother his guest, and said: "I am your brother. So do not grieve for what they had done."
And when they entered unto Joseph, he said, taking his brother into his arms, 'I am thy brother; so do not despair of that they have done.'
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَایَةَ فِیْ رَحْلِ اَخِیْهِ ثُمَّ اَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ اَیَّتُهَا الْعِیْرُ اِنَّكُمْ لَسٰرِقُوْنَ(۷۰)
When he had given them their provisions he put his goblet in his brother´s saddle-bag. Then a crier announced: "O men of the caravan, you are thieves."
Then, when he had equipped them with their equipment, he put his drinking-cup into the saddlebag of his brother. Then a herald proclaimed, 'Ho, cameleers, you are robbers!'
قَالُوْا وَ اَقْبَلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ مَّا ذَا تَفْقِدُوْنَ(۷۱)
They turned to them and asked: "What is it you have lost?"
They said, turning to them, 'What is it that you are missing?'
قَالُوْا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَ لِمَنْ جَآءَ بِهٖ حِمْلُ بَعِیْرٍ وَّ اَنَا بِهٖ زَعِیْمٌ(۷۲)
"We cannot find the master´s goblet. Whoever comes up with it will be given a camel-load of grain; I vouch for it."
They said, 'We are missing the king's goblet. Whoever brings it shall receive a camel's load; that I guarantee.'
قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا كُنَّا سٰرِقِیْنَ(۷۳)
They said: "We swear by God. You know we did not come to commit any crime in the land, nor are we thieves."
'By God,' they said, 'you know well that we came not to work corruption in the land. We are not robbers.'
قَالُوْا فَمَا جَزَآؤُهٗۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ كٰذِبِیْنَ(۷۴)
"What should be the punishment," they were asked, "in case you are liars?"
They said, 'And what shall be its recompense if you are liars?'
قَالُوْا جَزَآؤُهٗ مَنْ وُّجِدَ فِیْ رَحْلِهٖ فَهُوَ جَزَآؤُهٗؕ-كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(۷۵)
"The punishment for that (should be)," they said, "that he in whose luggage it is found should be held as punishment. This is how we repay the wrong-doers."
They said, 'This shall be its recompense -- in whoever's saddlebag the goblet is found, he shall be its recompense. So we recompense the evildoers.'
فَبَدَاَ بِاَوْعِیَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ اَخِیْهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ وِّعَآءِ اَخِیْهِؕ-كَذٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِیُوْسُفَؕ-مَا كَانَ لِیَاْخُذَ اَخَاهُ فِیْ دِیْنِ الْمَلِكِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ-نَرْفَعُ دَرَجٰتٍ مَّنْ نَّشَآءُؕ-وَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِیْ عِلْمٍ عَلِیْمٌ(۷۶)
So he searched their saddle-bags before his brother´s, then produced the cup from his brother´s bag. That is how We planned an excuse for Joseph, for under the law of the king he could not detain his brother unless God so willed. We raise the status of whom We please. Over every man of knowledge there is one more knowing.
So he made beginning with their sacks, before his brother's sack, then he pulled it out of his brother's sack. So We contrived for Joseph's sake; he could not have taken his brother, according to the king's doom, except that God willed. Whomsoever We will, We raise in rank; over every man of knowledge is One who knows.
قَالُوْۤا اِنْ یَّسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ اَخٌ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ-فَاَسَرَّهَا یُوْسُفُ فِیْ نَفْسِهٖ وَ لَمْ یُبْدِهَا لَهُمْۚ-قَالَ اَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًاۚ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُوْنَ(۷۷)
Said the brothers: "If he has stolen (no wonder), his brother had stolen before." But Joseph kept this secret and did not disclose it to them, and said (to himself): "You are worse in the degree of evil, for God knows better of what you allege."
They said, 'If he is a thief, a brother of his was a thief before.' But Joseph secreted it in his soul and disclosed it not to them, saying, 'You are in a worse case; God knows very well what you are describing.'
قَالُوْا یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْعَزِیْزُ اِنَّ لَهٗۤ اَبًا شَیْخًا كَبِیْرًا فَخُذْ اَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهٗۚ-اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(۷۸)
They said: "O Minister, he has an aged father, so keep one of us in his place. We see you are a virtuous man."
They said, 'Mighty prince, he has a father, aged and great with years; so take one of us in his place; we see that thou art one of the good-doers.'
قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ نَّاْخُذَ اِلَّا مَنْ وَّجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِنْدَهٗۤۙ-اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّظٰلِمُوْنَ۠(۷۹)
"May God forgive us," he said, "if we hold any one but him with whom we found our property, or else we would be unjust."
He said, 'God forbid that we should take any other but him in whose possession we found the goods; for if we did so, we would be evildoers.'
فَلَمَّا اسْتَایْــٴَـسُوْا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوْا نَجِیًّاؕ-قَالَ كَبِیْرُهُمْ اَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اَبَاكُمْ قَدْ اَخَذَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مِنْ قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطْتُّمْ فِیْ یُوْسُفَۚ-فَلَنْ اَبْرَحَ الْاَرْضَ حَتّٰى یَاْذَنَ لِیْۤ اَبِیْۤ اَوْ یَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ لِیْۚ-وَ هُوَ خَیْرُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ(۸۰)
When they despaired of (persuading) him, they went aside to confer. The oldest of them said: "You know that your father has pledged you in the name of God, and you have been guilty of iniquity in the case of Joseph before. I will not leave this place unless my father permits or God decides for me, for He is the best of all judges.
When they despaired of moving him, they conferred privily apart. Said the eldest of them, 'Do you not know how your father has taken a solemn pledge from you by God, and aforetime you failed regarding Joseph? Never will I quit this land, until my father gives me leave, or God judges in my favour; He is the best of judges.
