So when

she heard

of their scheming

she sent

for them

and she prepared

for them

a banquet

and she gave

each

one

of them

a knife

and she said

Come out

before them

Then when

they saw him

they greatly admired him

and cut

their hands

they said

Forbid

Allah

not

(is) this

a man

not

(is) this

but

an angel

noble

She said

That

(is) the one

you blamed me

about him

And certainly

I sought to seduce him

[from]

[himself]

but he saved himself

and if

not

he does

what

I order him

surely, he will be imprisoned

and certainly will be

of

those who are disgraced

He said

My Lord

the prison

(is) dearer

to me

than what

they invite me

to it

And unless

You turn away

from me

their plot

I might incline

towards them

and [I] be

of

the ignorant

So responded

to him

his Lord

and turned away

from him

their plot

Indeed, [He]

He

(is) All-Hearer

All-Knower

Then

(it) appeared

to them

after

after

[what]

they had seen

the signs

surely they should imprison him

until

a time

And entered

with him

(in) the prison

two young men

Said

one of them

Indeed, I

[I] see myself

pressing

wine

And said

the other

Indeed, I

[I] see myself

[I am] carrying

over

my head

bread

(were) eating

the birds

from it

Inform us

of its interpretation

indeed, we

[we] see you

of

the good-doers

He said

Not

(will) come to both of you

food

you are provided with

but

I will inform both of you

of its interpretation

before

[that]

[it] comes to both of you

That

(is) of what

has taught me

my Lord

Indeed, I

[I] abandon

(the) religion

(of) a people

not

they believe

in Allah

and they

in the Hereafter

[they]

(are) disbelievers
