So when

he had furnished them

with their supplies

he put

the drinking cup

in

the bag

(of) his brother

Then

called out

an announcer

O you

(in) the caravan

Indeed, you

surely (are) thieves

They said

turning towards

them

What (is it)

you miss

They said

We are missing

(the) cup

(of) the king

And for (one) who

brings

it

(is) a load

(of) a camel

and I

for it

(is) responsible

They said

By Allah

certainly

you know

not

we came

that we cause corruption

in

the land

and not

we are

thieves

They said

Then what

(will be the) recompense (of) it

if

you are

liars

They said

Its recompense

(is that one) who

it is found

in

his bag

then he

(will be) his recompense

Thus

(do) we recompense

the wrongdoers

So he began

with their bags

before

(the) bag

(of) his brother

then

he brought it out

from

(the) bag

(of) his brother

Thus

(did) We plan

for Yusuf

He could not

He could not

take

his brother

by

the law

(of) the king

except

that

Allah willed

Allah willed

We raise

(in) degrees

whom

We will

but over

every

possessor

(of) knowledge

(is) the All-Knower

They said

If

he steals

then verily

stole

a brother

of his

before

before

But Yusuf kept it secret

But Yusuf kept it secret

within

himself

and (did) not

reveal it

to them

He said

You

(are the) worse

(in) position

and Allah

knows best

of what

you describe

They said

O

Aziz

Indeed

he has

a father

old

[great]

so take

one of us

(in) his place

Indeed, we

[we] see you

of

the good-doers
