12:11

قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَٰصِحُونَ

ќōōлюю йəə əбəəнəə мəə лəкə лəə тə`мəннəə 'əлəə йуусуфə вə`иннəə лəhу лəнəəсыhуун

They said, ‘Father! Why is it that you do not trust us with Joseph? We are indeed his well-wishers.

12:12

أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ

əрсильhу мə'əнəə ґōдəй-йəртə' вəйəль'əб вə`иннəə лəhу лəhəəфиз̃уун

Let him go with us tomorrow so that he may eat lots of fruits and play, and we will indeed take [good] care of him.’

12:13

قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَٰفِلُونَ

ќōōлə иннии лəйəhзунунии əŋŋ-тəз̃həбуу биhи вə`əхōōфу əй-йə`кулəhуз̃-з̃и`бу вə`əŋŋтум 'əнhу ґōōфилююн

He said, ‘It really upsets me that you should take him away, and I fear the wolf may eat him while you are oblivious of him.’

12:14

قَالُواْ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ

ќōōлюю лə`ин əкəлəhуз̃-з̃и`бу вəнəhну 'усбəтун иннəə из̃əль-лəхōōсируун

They said, ‘Should the wolf eat him while we are a hardy band, then we will indeed be losers!’

12:15

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓاْ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ  ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

фəлəммəə з̃əhəбуу биhи вə`əджмə'уу əй-йəдж'əлююhу фии ґōйəəбəтиль-джубб, вə`əуhəйнəə илəйhи лəтунəбби`əннəhумм-би`əмриhим həəз̃əə вəhум лəə йəш'уруун

So when they took him away and conspired to put him into the recess of a well, We revealed to him, ‘[A day will come when] you will surely inform them about this affair of theirs while they are not aware [of your identity].’

12:16

وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً يَبْكُونَ

вəджəə`уу əбəəhум 'ишəə`əй-йəбкуун

In the evening, they came weeping to their father.

12:17

قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ  ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَٰدِقِينَ

ќōōлюю йəə əбəəнəə иннəə з̃əhəбнəə нəстəбиќу вəтəрōкнəə йуусуфə 'иŋŋдə мəтəə'инəə фə`əкəлəhуз̃-з̃и`б, вəмəə əŋŋтə биму`миниль-лəнəə вəлəу куннəə сōōдиќиин

They said, ‘Father! We had gone racing and left Joseph with our things, whereat the wolf ate him. But you will not believe us even if we spoke truly.’

12:18

وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ  ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا  ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ  ۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ

вəджəə`уу 'əлəə ќōмиисыhи бидəмин кəз̃иб, ќōōлə бəль сəувəлəт лəкум əŋŋфусукум əмрō, фəсōбрун джəмииль, вəл-лаhуль-мустə'əəну 'əлəə мəə тəсыфуун

And they produced sham blood on his shirt. He said, ‘No, your souls have made a matter seem decorous to you. Yet patience is graceful, and Allah is my resort against what you allege.’

12:19

وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُواْ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥ  ۖ قَالَ يَٰبُشْرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَٰمٌ  ۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَٰعَةً  ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

вəджəə`əт сəййəəрōтун фə`əрсəлюю вəəридəhум фə`əдлəə дəльвəh, ќōōлə йəə бушрōō həəз̃əə ґулəəм, вə`əсəррууhу бидōō'əh, вəл-лаhу 'əлиимумм-бимəə йə'мəлююн

There came a caravan, and they sent their water-drawer, who let down his bucket. ‘Good news!’ he said. ‘This is a young boy!’ So they hid him as [a piece of] merchandise, and Allah knew best what they were doing.

12:20

وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍ دَرَٰهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ

вəшəрōуhу биc̃əмəнимм-бəхсин дəрōōhимə мə'дуудəтиу-вəкəəнуу фииhи минəз-зəəhидиин

And they sold him for a cheap price, a few dirhams, for they set small store by him.
