وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلٰي يُوْسُفَ اٰوٰۗى اِلَيْہِ اَخَاہُ قَالَ اِنِّىْۗ اَنَا اَخُوْكَ فَلَا تَبْتَىِٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا يَعْمَلُوْنَ۝۶۹
Walamma dakhaloo AAala yoosufa awa ilayhi akhahu qala innee ana akhooka fala tabtais bima kanoo yaAAmaloona

Ahmed Ali

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."

69

فَلَمَّا جَہَّزَہُمْ بِجَہَازِہِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَۃَ فِيْ رَحْلِ اَخِيْہِ ثُمَّ اَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ اَيَّــتُہَا الْعِيْرُ اِنَّكُمْ لَسٰرِقُوْنَ۝۷۰
Falamma jahhazahum bijahazihim jaAAala alssiqayata fee rahli akheehi thumma aththana muaththinun ayyatuha alAAeeru innakum lasariqoona

Ahmed Ali

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."

70

قَالُوْا وَاَقْبَلُوْا عَلَيْہِمْ مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُوْنَ۝۷۱
Qaloo waaqbaloo AAalayhim matha tafqidoona

Ahmed Ali

They turned to them and asked: "What is it you have lost?"

71

قَالُوْا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَنْ جَاۗءَ بِہٖ حِمْلُ بَعِيْرٍ وَّاَنَا بِہٖ زَعِيْمٌ۝۷۲
Qaloo nafqidu suwaAAa almaliki waliman jaa bihi himlu baAAeerin waana bihi zaAAeemun

English

Ahmed Ali

"We cannot find the master's goblet. Whoever comes up with it will be given a camel-load of grain; I vouch for it."

72

قَالُوْا تَاللہِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِي الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سٰرِقِيْنَ۝۷۳
Qaloo taAllahi laqad AAalimtum ma jina linufsida fee alardi wama kunna sariqeena

English

Ahmed Ali

They said: "We swear by God. You know we did not come to commit any crime in the land, nor are we thieves."

73

قَالُوْا فَمَا جَزَاۗؤُہٗۗ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ۝۷۴
Qaloo fama jazaohu in kuntum kathibeena

English

Ahmed Ali

"What should be the punishment," they were asked, "in case you are liars?"

74

قَالُوْا جَزَاۗؤُہٗ مَنْ وُّجِدَ فِيْ رَحْلِہٖ فَہُوَجَزَاۗؤُہٗ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الظّٰلِــمِيْنَ۝۷۵
Qaloo jazaohu man wujida fee rahlihi fahuwa jazaohu kathalika najzee alththalimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

"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."

75

فَبَدَاَ بِاَوْعِيَتِہِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاۗءِ اَخِيْہِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَہَا مِنْ وِّعَاۗءِ اَخِيْہِ۝۰ۭ كَذٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوْسُفَ۝۰ۭ مَا كَانَ لِيَاْخُذَ اَخَاہُ فِيْ دِيْنِ الْمَلِكِ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ يَّشَاۗءَ اؙ۝۰ۭ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجٰتٍ مَّنْ نَّشَاۗءُ۝۰ۭ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِيْ عِلْمٍ عَلِيْمٌ۝۷۶
Fabadaa biawAAiyatihim qabla wiAAai akheehi thumma istakhrajaha min wiAAai akheehi kathalika kidna liyoosufa ma kana liyakhutha akhahu fee deeni almaliki illa an yashaa Allahu narfaAAu darajatin man nashao wafawqa kulli thee AAilmin AAaleemun

English

Ahmed Ali

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.

76

قَالُوْۗا اِنْ يَّسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ اَخٌ لَّہٗ مِنْ قَبْلُ۝۰ۚ فَاَسَرَّہَا يُوْسُفُ فِيْ نَفْسِہٖ وَلَمْ يُبْدِہَا لَہُمْ۝۰ۚ قَالَ اَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا۝۰ۚ وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُوْنَ۝۷۷
Qaloo in yasriq faqad saraqa akhun lahu min qablu faasarraha yoosufu fee nafsihi walam yubdiha lahum qala antum sharrun makanan waAllahu aAAlamu bima tasifoona

Ahmed Ali

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."

77

قَالُوْا يٰۗاَيُّہَا الْعَزِيْزُ اِنَّ لَہٗۗ اَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيْرًا فَخُذْ اَحَدَنَا مَكَانَہٗ۝۰ۚ اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِـنِيْنَ۝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."
