Alif.
Lam. Ra. These are the verses of a Book luminous. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
Verily
We! We have sent it down, an Arabic Recitation, that haply ye may
reflect. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
We!
We recount unto thee the best of stories, by Revealing unto thee this
Our'an, although thou wast before that of the unaware ones. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. |
Recall
what time Yusufj said unto his father:, y father! verily have seen
eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I have seen them prostrating
themselves unto me. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. |
He
said: O my son! recount not thine vision unto thy brethren, lest they
plot a plot against thee; verily the Satan is unto man an enemy manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. |
And
Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee of the interpretation
of discourses, and will fulfil His favour upon thee and upon the house
of Y'aqub even as He fulfilled it upon thy fathers, Ibrahim and Is-haq
aforetime; verily thy Lord is Knowing, Wise. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. |
Assuredly
in Yusuf and his brethren there have been signs for the inquirers. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. |
Recall
what time they said: surely Yusuf and his brother are dearer to our
father than we, whereas we are company; verily our father is in error
manifest. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 9. |
Slay
Yusuf or cast him forth to some land; your father's countenance
will be free for you, and ye shall be thereafter a people favoured. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 10. |
Said
a speaker from among them; slay not Yusuf, but cast him into the bottom
of a well, some of the caravan will take him up--if ye must be doing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. |
They
said: our father! wherefore thou intrustest us not with Yusuf, whereas
verily we are his well-wishers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 12. |
Send
him with us tomorrow, that he may refresh himself and play, and verily
we are to be his guards. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 13. |
He
said: verily it grieveth me that ye should take him away, and I fear
lest a wolf may devour him, While ye are negligent of him. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. |
They
said: if the wolf devoured him while we were a company, we must indeed
then be the losers! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. |
So
when they took him away, and resolved to place him in the bottom of
the well, We Revealed unto him: surely thou wilt declare unto them
this their affair, while they shall perceive not. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 16. |
And
they came to their father at nightfall, weeping |
|
|
|
|
|
| 17. |
They
said: our father! we went off competing, and left Yusuf by our stuff,
so a wolf devoured him; and thou wilt put no credence in us, even
though we are the truth-tellers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 18. |
And
they brought his shirt with false blood. He said: nay! your selves
have embellished for you an affair; so seemly patience! and Allah
is to be implored for help in that which ye ascribe |
|
|
|
|
|
| 19. |
And
a caravan came, and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down
his bucket. He said: glad tidings! here is a youth. And they hid him
as merchandise, And Allah was the Knower of that which they worked. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 20. |
And
they sold him for a mean price: a few dirhams numbered and they were
in regard to him of the indifferent. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
21. |
And
he who bought him in Misr said unto his wife: make his dwelling honourable:
belike he may profit us or we may take him as a son. And Thus We made
a place for Yusuf in the land, and it was in order that We may teach
him the interpretation of discourses. And Allah is Dominant in His
purpose, but most of men know not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
22. |
And
when he reached his maturity We vouchsafed unto him judgement and
knowledge; and Thus We recompense the well-doers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 23. |
And
she in whose house he was, solicited him against himself; and she
fastened the doors, and said: come on, O thou! He said: Allah be my
refuge: verily he is my lord; he hath made me a goodly dwelling; verily
the wrong-doers fare not well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
24. |
And
assuredly she besought him, and he would have besoughther were it
not that he had seen the argument of his Lord. Thus We did, in order
that We might avert from him all evil and indecency; verily he was
of our bondmen single-hearted. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
25. |
And
the twain raced to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind, And
the twain met her master at the door. She said: What is the meed of
him who intended evil toward thy house hold except that he be imprisoned,
or a torment afflictive? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
26. |
He
said: it is she who solicited me against myself And a witness from
her own household bare witness: if his shirt be rent in front, then
she speaketh the truth and he is of the liars. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
27. |
And
if his shirt be rent from behind, then she lieth, and he is of the
truth-tellers. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 28. |
So
when he saw his shirt rent from behind, he said: verily it is of the
guile of ye women; verily the guile of ye women is mighty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
29. |
Yusuf!
turn away therefrom; and, thou woman! ask forgiveness for thy sin;
verily thou hast been of the guilty. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 30. |
And
women in the city said; the wife of the AZiZ hath solicited her page
against himself; he hath inflamed her with love; verily we behold
her in error manifest. |
