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\n43. The king (of Egypt) said:\n \"I do see (in a vision)\n Seven fat kine, whom seven\n Lean ones devour,\u2014and seven\n Green ears of corn, and seven (others)\n Withered. O ye chiefs!\n Expound to me my vision\n If it be that ye can\n Interpret visions.\"\n44. Qaloo adghathu ahlamin wama nahnu bita/weeli al-ahlami biAAalimeena\n44. They said: \"A confused medley\n Of dreams: and we are not\n Skilled in the interpretation\n Of dreams.\"\n45. Waqala allathee naja minhuma waiddakara baAAda ommatin ana onabbi-okum bita/weelihi faarsilooni\n45. But the man who had been\n Released, one of the two\n (Who had been in prison)\n And who now bethought him\n After (so long) a space of time,\n Said: \"I will tell you\n The truth of its interpretation:\n Send ye me (therefor).\"\n46. Yoosufu ayyuha alssiddeequ aftina fee sabAAi baqaratin simanin ya/kuluhunna sabAAun AAijafun wasabAAi sunbulatin khudrin waokhara yabisatin laAAallee arjiAAu ila alnnasi laAAallahum yaAAlamoona\n46. \"O Joseph!\" (he said).\n \"O man of truth! Expound\n To us (the dream)\n Of seven fat kine\n Whom seven lean ones\n Devour, and of seven\n Green ears of corn\n And (seven) others withered:\n That I may return\n To the people, and that\n They may understand.\"\n47. Qala tazraAAoona sabAAa sineena daaban fama hasadtum fatharoohu fee sunbulihi illa qaleelan mimma ta/kuloona\n47. (Joseph) said: \"For seven years\n Shall ye diligently sow\nAs is your wont:\n And the harvests that ye reap,\n Ye shall leave them in the ear,\u2014\n Except a little, of which\n Ye shall eat.\n48. Thumma ya/tee min baAAdi thalika sabAAun shidadun ya/kulna ma qaddamtum lahunna illa qaleelan mimma tuhsinoona\n48. \"Then will come\n After that (period)\n Seven dreadful (years),\n Which will devour\n What ye shall have laid by\n In advance for them,\u2014\n (All) except a little\n Which ye shall have\n (Specially) guarded.\n49. Thumma ya/tee min baAAdi thalika AAamun feehi yughathu alnnasu wafeehi yaAAsiroona\n49. \"Then will come\n After that (period) a year\n In which the people will have\n Abundant water, and in which\n They will press (wine and oil).\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XII.: Y\u016bsuf, or Joseph.: Section 6 (43-49)","type":"page"}
