وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِيْ بِہٖ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا جَاۗءَہُ الرَّسُوْلُ قَالَ ارْجِـــعْ اِلٰي رَبِّكَ فَسْـــَٔـلْہُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَۃِ الّٰتِيْ قَطَّعْنَ اَيْدِيَہُنَّ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ بِكَيْدِہِنَّ عَلِيْمٌ۝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."

قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ اِذْ رَاوَدْتُّنَّ يُوْسُفَ عَنْ نَّفْسِہٖ۝۰ۭ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلہِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْہِ مِنْ سُوْۗءٍ۝۰ۭ قَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِيْزِ الْــٰٔنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ۝۰ۡاَنَا رَاوَدْتُّہٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِہٖ وَاِنَّہٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِيْنَ۝۵۱

Ahmed Ali

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." --

51

ذٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ اَنِّىْ لَمْ اَخُنْہُ بِالْغَيْبِ وَاَنَّ اللہَ لَا يَہْدِيْ كَيْدَ الْخَاۗىِٕنِيْنَ۝۵۲
Thalika liyaAAlama annee lam akhunhu bialghaybi waanna Allaha la yahdee kayda alkhaineena

English

Ahmed Ali

(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.

52

وَمَاۗاُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِيْ۝۰ۚ اِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَاَمَّارَۃٌۢ بِالسُّوْۗءِ اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّيْ۝۰ۭ اِنَّ رَبِّيْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِيْمٌ۝۵۳
Wama obarrio nafsee inna alnnafsa laammaratun bialssooi illa ma rahima rabbee inna rabbee ghafoorun raheemun

English

Ahmed Ali

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." --

53

وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِيْ بِہٖۗ اَسْتَخْلِصْہُ لِنَفْسِيْ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَہٗ قَالَ اِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِيْنٌ اَمِيْنٌ۝۵۴
Waqala almaliku itoonee bihi astakhlishu linafsee falamma kallamahu qala innaka alyawma ladayna makeenun ameenun

English

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."

54

قَالَ اجْعَلْنِيْ عَلٰي خَزَاۗىِٕنِ الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۚ اِنِّىْ حَفِيْظٌ عَلِيْمٌ۝۵۵
Qala ijAAalnee AAala khazaini alardi innee hafeethun AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

"Appoint me over the granaries of the land," (he said); "I shall be a knowledgeable keeper."

55

وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوْسُفَ فِي الْاَرْضِ۝۰ۚ يَتَبَوَّاُ مِنْہَا حَيْثُ يَشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ نُصِيْبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَنْ نَّشَاۗءُ وَلَا نُضِيْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝۵۶
Wakathalika makanna liyoosufa fee alardi yatabawwao minha haythu yashao nuseebu birahmatina man nashao wala nudeeAAu ajra almuhsineena

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

56

وَلَاَجْرُ الْاٰخِرَۃِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَكَانُوْا يَتَّقُوْنَ۝۵۷ۧ
Walaajru alakhirati khayrun lillatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona

Ahmed Ali

And certainly the recompense of the life to come is better for those who believe and follow the right path.
