فَلَمَّا
So when
جَهَّزَهُم
he had furnished them
بِجَهَازِهِمْ
with their supplies,
جَعَلَ
he put
ٱلسِّقَايَةَ
the drinking cup
فِى
in
رَحْلِ
the bag
أَخِيهِ
(of) his brother.
ثُمَّ Then أَذَّنَ called out مُؤَذِّنٌ an announcer أَيَّتُهَا "O you ٱلْعِيرُ (in) the caravan! إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you لَسَٰرِقُونَ surely (are) thieves." قَالُوا۟ They said
وَأَقْبَلُوا۟ turning towards عَلَيْهِم them, مَّاذَا "What (is it) تَفْقِدُونَ you miss?" قَالُوا۟ They said, نَفْقِدُ "We are missing صُوَاعَ (the) cup ٱلْمَلِكِ (of) the king.
وَلِمَن And for (one) who جَآءَ brings بِهِۦ it, حِمْلُ (is) a load بَعِيرٍ (of) a camel, وَأَنَا۠ and I بِهِۦ for it زَعِيمٌ (is) responsible." قَالُوا۟ They said, تَٱللَّهِ "By Allah
لَقَدْ certainly عَلِمْتُم you know, مَّا not جِئْنَا we came لِنُفْسِدَ that we cause corruption فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the land, وَمَا and not كُنَّا we are سَٰرِقِينَ thieves."
قَالُوا۟ They said, فَمَا "Then what جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥٓ (will be the) recompense (of) it إِن if كُنتُمْ you are كَٰذِبِينَ liars." قَالُوا۟ They said, جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ "Its recompense
مَن (is that one) who, وُجِدَ it is found فِى in رَحْلِهِۦ his bag, فَهُوَ then he جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ (will be) his recompense. كَذَٰلِكَ Thus نَجْزِى (do) we recompense ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers."
فَبَدَأَ So he began بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ with their bags قَبْلَ before وِعَآءِ (the) bag أَخِيهِ (of) his brother; ثُمَّ then ٱسْتَخْرَجَهَا he brought it out مِن from
وِعَآءِ (the) bag أَخِيهِ (of) his brother. كَذَٰلِكَ Thus كِدْنَا (did) We plan لِيُوسُفَ for Yusuf. مَا He could not *[meaning includes next or prev. word] كَانَ He could not *[meaning includes next or prev. word] لِيَأْخُذَ take أَخَاهُ his brother
فِى by دِينِ the law ٱلْمَلِكِ (of) the king, إِلَّآ except أَن that يَشَآءَ Allah willed. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] ٱللَّهُ Allah willed. *[meaning includes next or prev. word] نَرْفَعُ We raise دَرَجَٰتٍ (in) degrees مَّن whom نَّشَآءُ We will,
وَفَوْقَ but over كُلِّ every ذِى possessor عِلْمٍ (of) knowledge عَلِيمٌ (is) the All-Knower. قَالُوٓا۟ They said, إِن "If يَسْرِقْ he steals -
فَقَدْ then verily سَرَقَ stole أَخٌ a brother لَّهُۥ of his مِن before." *[meaning includes next or prev. word] قَبْلُ before." *[meaning includes next or prev. word] فَأَسَرَّهَا But kept it secret يُوسُفُ Yusuf فِى within نَفْسِهِۦ himself,
وَلَمْ and (did) not يُبْدِهَا reveal it لَهُمْ to them. قَالَ He said, أَنتُمْ "You شَرٌّ (are the) worse مَّكَانًا (in) position, وَٱللَّهُ and Allah أَعْلَمُ knows best بِمَا of what
تَصِفُونَ you describe." قَالُوا۟ They said, يَٰٓأَيُّهَا "O ٱلْعَزِيزُ Aziz! إِنَّ Indeed, لَهُۥٓ he has أَبًا a father شَيْخًا old كَبِيرًا [great],
فَخُذْ so take أَحَدَنَا one of us مَكَانَهُۥٓ (in) his place. إِنَّا Indeed, we نَرَىٰكَ [we] see you مِنَ of ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ the good-doers."
ثُمَّ Then أَذَّنَ called out مُؤَذِّنٌ an announcer أَيَّتُهَا "O you ٱلْعِيرُ (in) the caravan! إِنَّكُمْ Indeed, you لَسَٰرِقُونَ surely (are) thieves." قَالُوا۟ They said
