A1L30R200. These are the signs of the clarifying book.
2
We have sent it down an Arabic Quran/recitation, perhaps you will reason.
3
We relate to you the best stories through what We have inspired to you in this Quran; and before it you were of those who were unaware.
4
When Joseph said to his father: My father, I have seen eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating before me.
5
He said, O my son, do not relate your dream to your brothers, or they will scheme against you. The devil is to human being a clear enemy.
6
As such, your Lord has chosen you, and He teaches you the interpretation of dreams, and He completes His blessings upon you and upon the descendants of Jacob, as He completed it for your fathers before that, Abraham and Isaac. Your Lord is Omniscient, Wise.
7
It is thus that in Joseph and his brothers are signs for those who seek.
8
For they said, Joseph and his brother are more loved by our father than us, while we are a gang. Our father is clearly misguided.
9
Kill Joseph or cast him in the land, then your father's favor will be all yours, and after that you will be a reformed people.
10
One amongst them said, Do not kill Joseph, but if you are going to do anything, then cast him into the bottom of the well, so that anyone traveling by will pick him up.
11
They said, Our father, why do you not trust us with Joseph, we are to him well wishers.
12
Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy and play, and we will take care of him.
13
He said, It saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that the wolf would eat him if you would be absent from him.
14
They said, If the wolf eats him, while we are a gang, then we are the losers.
15
So, when they went with him they had agreed to place him at the bottom of the well. We inspired him: You will inform them of this act of theirs while they will not expect it.
16
They came to their father at dusk crying.
17
They said, Our father, we went to race and left Joseph by our things, and the wolf ate him! But you would not trust us even if we are truthful.
18
They came with his shirt stained in false blood. He said, You have invented this tale yourselves. Patience is good, and God's help is sought against what you describe.
19
A traveling caravan came and they sent their water-drawer. When he let down his bucket he said, Good news, there is a boy! So they hid him as merchandise. God knows what they do.
20
They sold him for a low price, a few silver coins, and they regarded him as insignificant.
21
The one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife: Make his stay generous, perhaps he will benefit us or we may take him as a son. It was thus that We established Joseph in the land and to teach him the interpretation of dreams. God has full power over matters, but most of the people do not know.
22
When he reached his maturity, We gave him position and knowledge. It is thus that We reward the good doers.
23
The woman, in whose house he was staying, attempted to seduce him away from himself. She closed the doors and said, I have prepared myself for you. He said, I seek refuge with God, He is my Lord, He made good my residence; the wicked do not succeed.
24
She desired him and he desired her, had it not been that he saw His Lord's manifest evidence; thus We turned evil and lewdness away from him, as one of Our loyal servants.
25
As they rushed towards the door, she tore his shirt from behind; and they found her noble husband at the door. She said, What is the punishment of he who wanted to molest your family? Is it not that he be jailed or punished painfully?
26
He said, She is the one who seduced me from myself, and a witness from her family gave testimony: If his shirt was torn from the front, then she is truthful, and he is the liar.
27
If his shirt is torn from behind, then she is lying, and he is truthful.
28
So when he saw that his shirt was torn from behind, he said, This is from your female scheming, your female scheming is indeed great!
29
Joseph, turn away from this. You woman, seek forgiveness for your sin; you were of the wrongdoers.
30
Some women in the city said, The wife of the Governor is trying to seduce her young man from himself; she is taken by love. We see her clearly misguided.
