AlifLaamRa. Those are the verses of the Clear Book.
2
We have sent it down, an Arabic Koran, in order that you understand.
3
In the sending down of this Koran, We will narrate to you (Prophet Muhammad) the best of narratives, of which you were previously unaware.
4
When Joseph said to his father: 'Father, I saw eleven planets, and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating themselves before me'
5
He said: 'O my son, say nothing of this vision to your brothers lest they should cunningly plot against you indeed, satan is the clear enemy of the human,
6
so your Lord will choose you and teach you the interpretation of visions, and perfect His Favor upon you and upon the House of Jacob, as He perfected it on your fathers Abraham and Isaac before you. Your Lord is Knowing, Wise.
7
Indeed, in Joseph and his brothers there were signs for those who inquire.
8
They said: 'Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than ourselves, even though we are many. Truly, our father is obviously wrong.
9
(Let us) kill Joseph, or cast him away in some (far off) land, so that your father's face will be left for you, and afterwards you will be a righteous nation'
10
One of them said: 'No, do not kill Joseph, if you do anything, cast him into a dark pit, a traveler will pick him up'
11
They said: 'Father, what is the matter with you, do you not trust us with Joseph? Indeed, we are sincere advisors.
12
Send him with us tomorrow to frolic and play. We will look after him'
13
He said: 'It grieves me to let him go with you, for I fear lest the wolf should devour him when you are not paying attention to him'
14
They said: 'We are many, if a wolf devours him, then we are losers'
15
When they went with him, they agreed to put him in the bottom of a well. We revealed to him: 'You shall tell them of what they did when they are not aware (it is you)'
16
At nightfall, they returned weeping to their father.
17
They said: 'We went racing and left Joseph with our things. The wolf devoured him, but you will not believe us, though we speak the truth'
18
And they brought his shirt (stained) with blood, a lie. He said: 'No, your souls have tempted you to do something. But come sweet patience! The help ofAllah is always there to seek against that which you describe'
19
Thereafter travelers came, and sent their waterman. And when he had let down his pail, (he cried:) 'Rejoice, a boy' Then they concealed him among their merchandise, but Allah knew what they did.
20
Then, they sold him for a trifling price, a number of dirhams, because they considered him to be of little value.
21
The Egyptian that bought him said to his wife: 'Make his stay honorable. He may benefit us, or take him for our son' As such We established Joseph in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretation of visions. Allah prevails in His affairs, though most people do not know.
22
And when he reached maturity, We bestowed on him judgment and knowledge. As such We recompense those who do good.
23
And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him and closed the doors saying: 'Come' 'In Allah is my refuge' he replied. 'My Lord has made my dwelling a good one. Harmdoers never prosper'
24
She desired him, had he not been shown the proof of his Lord he would have taken her. But We turned him away from evil and abomination, for he was one of Our sincere worshipers.
25
They raced to the door and she tore his shirt from behind. And by the door, they met her husband whereupon she said: 'What is the recompense of one whose intent is evil against your people other than being imprisoned, or sternly punished'
26
He (Joseph) said: 'It was she who sought to seduce me' and a witness (an infant) of her people bore witness, saying: 'If his shirt is torn from the front, she is speaking the truth and he is one of the liars,
27
but, if his shirt is torn from behind, she lied, and he is of the truthful'
28
And when he saw his shirt torn at the back, he said: 'This is one of your (women's) guiles. Your guile, (O woman), is great indeed!
29
Joseph, turn away from this. And you, ask forgiveness for your sin. You are indeed one of the sinners'
30
Certain women in the city said: 'The Governor's wife has sought to seduce her servant. He has made her heart stricken with love for him. Clearly, we perceive her to be in error'
