Walamma dakhaloo AAala yoosufa awa ilayhi akhahu qala innee ana akhooka fala tabta-is bima kanoo yaAAmaloona\n69. Now when they came\n Into Joseph's presence,\n He received his (full) brother\n To stay with him. He said\n (To him): \"Behold! I am thy (own)\n Brother; so grieve not\n At aught of their doings.\"\n70. Falamma jahhazahum bijahazihim jaAAala alssiqayata fee rahli akheehi thumma aththana mu-aththinun ayyatuha alAAeeru innakum lasariqoona\n70. At length when he had furnished\n Them forth with provisions\n (Suitable) for them, he put\n The drinking cup into\n His brother's saddle-bag.\n Then shouted out a Crier:\n \"O ye (in) the Caravan!\n Behold! ye are thieves,\n Without doubt!\"\n71. Qaloo waaqbaloo AAalayhim matha tafqidoona\n71. They said, turning towards them:\n \"What is it that ye miss?\"\n72. Qaloo nafqidu suwaAAa almaliki waliman jaa bihi himlu baAAeerin waana bihi zaAAeemun\n72. They said: \"We miss\n The great beaker of the king;\nFor him who produces it,\u2014\n Is (the reward of)\n A camel load; I\n Will be bound by it.\"\n73. Qaloo taAllahi laqad AAalimtum ma ji/na linufsida fee al-ardi wama kunna sariqeena\n73. (The brothers) said: \"By God!\n Well ye know that we\n Came not to make mischief\n In the land, and we are\n No thieves!\"\n74. Qaloo fama jazaohu in kuntum kathibeena\n74. (The Egyptians) said: \"What then\n Shall be the penalty of this,\n If ye are (proved) to have lied?\"\n75. Qaloo jazaohu man wujida fee rahlihi fahuwa jazaohu kathalika najzee alththalimeena\n75. They said: \"The penalty\n Should be that he\n In whose saddle-bag\n It is found, should be held\n (As bondman) to atone\n For the (crime). Thus it is\n We punish the wrong-doers!\"\n76. 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\n76. So he began (the search)\n With their baggage,\nBefore (he came to) the baggage\n Of his brother: at length\n He brought it out of his\n Brother's baggage. Thus did We\n Plan for Joseph. He could not\n Take his brother by the law\n Of the king except that God\n Willed it (so). We raise\n To degrees (of wisdom) whom\n We please: but over all\n Endued with knowledge is One,\n The All-Knowing.\n77. Qaloo in yasriq faqad saraqa akhun lahu min qablu faasarraha yoosufu fee nafsihi walam yubdiha lahum qala antum sharrun makanan waAllahu aAAlamu bima tasifoona\n77. They said: \"If he steals,\n There was a brother of his\n Who did steal before (him).\"\n But these things did Joseph\n Keep locked in his heart,\n Revealing not the secrets to them.\nHe (simply) said (to himself):\n \"Ye are the worse situated;\n And God knoweth best\n The truth of what ye assert!\"\n78. Qaloo ya ayyuha alAAazeezu inna lahu aban shaykhan kabeeran fakhuth ahadana makanahu inna naraka mina almuhsineena\n78. They said: \"O exalted one!\n Behold! he has a father,\n Aged and venerable, (who will\n Grieve for him); so take\n One of us in his place;\n For we see that thou art\n (Gracious) in doing good.\"\n79. Qala maAAatha Allahi an na/khutha illa man wajadna mataAAana AAindahu inna ithan lathalimoona\n79. He said: \"God forbid\n That we take other than him\n With whom we found\n Our property: indeed\n (If we did so), we should\n Be acting wrongfully.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XII.: Y\u016bsuf, or Joseph.: Sectio...","type":"page"}
