Yusuf · Yusuf
Maana: "Mtume Yusuf"
BISMILLAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHIIM
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwingi wa Rehema, Mwenye Kurehemu
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّۭا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ ٢
Hakika Sisi tumeiteremsha Qur'ani kwa Kiarabu ili mpate kuzingatia.
Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَٰفِلِينَ ٣
Sisi tunasimulia simulizi nzuri kwa kukufunulia Qur'ani hii. Na ijapo kuwa kabla ya haya ulikuwa miongoni mwa wasio jua.
We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the unaware.
إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًۭا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِى سَٰجِدِينَ ٤
Yusuf alipo mwambia baba yake: Ewe babaangu! Hakika mimi nimeota nyota kumi na moja, na jua, na mwezi. Nimeota zikinisujudia.
[Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."
قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا۟ لَكَ كَيْدًا ۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوٌّۭ مُّبِينٌۭ ٥
(Baba) akasema: Ewe mwanangu! Usiwasimulie nduguzo ndoto yako, wasije wakakufanyia vitimbi. Hakika Shet'ani ni adui aliye dhaahiri kwa mwanaadamu.
He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌۭ ٦
Na kadhaalika Mola wako Mlezi atakuteuwa na atakufundisha tafsiri ya mambo. Na atatimiza neema zake juu yako na juu ya ukoo wa Yaa'qub, kama alivyo watimizia hapo zamani baba zako Ibrahim na Is-haq. Hakika Mola wako Mlezi ni Mjuzi Mwenye hikima.
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise."
۞ لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِى يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَٰتٌۭ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ٧
Kwa yakini katika Yusuf na nduguze ziko ishara kwa wanao uliza.
Certainly were there in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask,
إِذْ قَالُوا۟ لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍ ٨
Pale walipo sema: Hakika Yusuf na nduguye wanapendwa zaidi na baba yetu kuliko sisi, hali sisi ni kikundi chenye nguvu. Hakika baba yetu yumo katika upotofu wa dhaahiri.
When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a clan. Indeed, our father is in clear error.
ٱقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًۭا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ قَوْمًۭا صَٰلِحِينَ ٩
Muuweni Yusuf, au mtupeni nchi mbali ili uso wa baba yenu ukuelekeeni nyinyi. Na baada ya haya mtakuwa watu wema.
Kill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the countenance of your father will [then] be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people."
قَالَ قَآئِلٌۭ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَٰعِلِينَ ١٠
Akasema msemaji kati yao: Msimuuwe Yusuf. Lakini mtumbukizeni ndani ya kisima. Wasafiri watakuja mwokota; kama nyinyi mna sharti ya kufanya jambo.
Said a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travelers will pick him up - if you would do [something]."
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَٰصِحُونَ ١١
Wakasema: Ewe baba yetu! Una nini hata hutuamini kwa Yusuf? Na hakika sisi ni wenye kumtakia kheri!
They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors?
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًۭا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ ١٢
Mpeleke kesho pamoja nasi, ale kwa furaha na acheze; na bila ya shaka sisi tutamhifadhi.
Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians.
قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَٰفِلُونَ ١٣
Akasem: Kwa hakika inanihuzunisha kwamba nyinyi mwende naye, na ninaogopa asije mbwa mwitu akamla nanyi mmeghafilika naye.
[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware."
قَالُوا۟ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ ١٤
Wakasema: Ikiwa mbwa mwitu atamla na hali sisi ni kundi lenye nguvu kabisa, basi bila ya shaka sisi tutakuwa khasarani.
They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ١٥
Basi walipo mchukua na wakakubaliana wamtumbukize ndani ya kisima, tulimfunulia Yusuf: Hapana shaka yoyote utakuja waambia kwa jambo lao hili, na wala wao hawatambui.
So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."
وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءًۭ يَبْكُونَ ١٦
Wakaja kwa baba yao usiku wakilia.
And they came to their father at night, weeping.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍۢ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَٰدِقِينَ ١٧
Wakasema: Ewe baba yetu! Hakika tulikwenda kushindana na tukamwacha Yusuf penye vitu vyetu. Basi mbwa mwitu akamla. Lakini wewe hutuamini ijapo kuwa tunasema kweli.
They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."
وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍۢ كَذِبٍۢ ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًۭا ۖ فَصَبْرٌۭ جَمِيلٌۭ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١٨
Wakaja na kanzu yake ina damu ya uwongo. Akasema: Bali nafsi zenu zimekushawishini kutenda kitendo. Lakini subira ni njema; na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye wa kuombwa msaada kwa haya mnayo yaeleza.
And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe."
وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌۭ فَأَرْسَلُوا۟ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ يَٰبُشْرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَٰمٌۭ ۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَٰعَةًۭ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ ١٩
Ukafika msafara, wakamtuma mchota maji wao, naye akatumbukiza ndoo yake. Alisema: Kheri Inshallah! Huyu hapa mvulana! Wakamficha ili kumfanya ni bidhaa. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mjuzi wa wanayo yatenda.
And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did.
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍۢ دَرَٰهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍۢ وَكَانُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ ٢٠
Na wakamuuza kwa thamani duni, kwa akali ya pesa. Wala hawakuwa na haja naye.
And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى ٱشْتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكْرِمِى مَثْوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًۭا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمْرِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٢١
Na yule aliye mnunua huko Misri alimwambia mkewe: Mtengenezee makaazi ya hishima huyu; huenda akatufaa au tukamfanya mwenetu. Na kama hivyo tulimweka Yusuf katika nchi ili tumfundishe kufasiri mambo. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mwenye kushinda katika jambo lake, lakini watu wengi hawajui.
And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ حُكْمًۭا وَعِلْمًۭا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٢٢
Na alipo fikilia utu uzima tulimpa hukumu na ilimu. Na kama hivi tunawalipa wanao tenda mema.
And when Joseph reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.
وَرَٰوَدَتْهُ ٱلَّتِى هُوَ فِى بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ ۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَاىَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ ٢٣
Na yule bibi wa nyumba aliyo kuwamo Yusuf alimtamani kinyume cha nafsi yake, na akafunga milango. Akamwambia: Njoo! Yusuf akasema: Audhubillahi! Najikinga na Mwenyezi Mungu. Huyu bwana wangu kaniweka maskani nzuri, na hakika wenye kudhulumu hawatengenekewi.
And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِۦ ۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرْهَٰنَ رَبِّهِۦ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءَ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ ٢٤
Na hakika yule mwanamke alimtamani, na Yusuf angeli mtamani lau kuwa hakuona ishara ya Mola wake Mlezi. Hayo hivyo ni kwa ajili tumuepushe na uovu na uchafu. Hakika yeye alikuwa katika waja wetu walio safishwa.
And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants.
وَٱسْتَبَقَا ٱلْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُۥ مِن دُبُرٍۢ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا ٱلْبَابِ ۚ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوٓءًا إِلَّآ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌۭ ٢٥
Na wote wawili wakakimbilia mlangoni, na mwanamke akairarua kanzu yake Yusuf kwa nyuma. Na wakamkuta bwana wake mlangoni. Mwanamke akasema: Hapana malipo ya mwenye kutaka kumfanyia maovu mkeo isipo kuwa kufungwa au kupewa adhabu chungu.
And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment?"
قَالَ هِىَ رَٰوَدَتْنِى عَن نَّفْسِى ۚ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌۭ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَآ إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍۢ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ ٢٦
Yusuf akasema: Yeye ndiye aliye nitaka bila ya mimi kumtaka. Na shahidi aliye kuwa katika jamaa za mwanamke alisema: Ikiwa kanzu yake imechanwa mbele basi mwanamke amesema kweli, naye Yusuf ni katika waongo.
[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified. "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars.
وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍۢ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٢٧
Na ikiwa kanzu yake imechanwa nyuma, basi mwanamke amesema uwongo, naye Yusuf ni katika wakweli.
But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful."
فَلَمَّا رَءَا قَمِيصَهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍۢ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ ۖ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌۭ ٢٨
Basi yule bwana alipoona kanzu yake imechanwa kwa nyuma, alisema: Hakika haya ni katika vitimbi vyenu wanawake. Bila ya shaka vitimbi vyenu ni vikuu.
So when her husband saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the women's plan. Indeed, your plan is great.
يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَا ۚ وَٱسْتَغْفِرِى لِذَنۢبِكِ ۖ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ ٱلْخَاطِـِٔينَ ٢٩
Yusuf! Wachilia mbali haya. Na wewe, mwanamke, omba msamaha kwa dhambi zako. Kwa hakika wewe ni katika walio fanya makosa.
Joseph, ignore this. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were of the sinful."
۞ وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌۭ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ تُرَٰوِدُ فَتَىٰهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۖ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا ۖ إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰهَا فِى ضَلَٰلٍۢ مُّبِينٍۢ ٣٠
Na wanawake wa mjini wakawa wanasema: Mke wa Mheshimiwa anamtamani mtumishi wake! Hakika amesalitika kwa mapenzi. Sisi hakika tunamwona yumo katika upotovu ulio dhaahiri.
And women in the city said, "The wife of al-'Azeez is seeking to seduce her slave boy; he has impassioned her with love. Indeed, we see her [to be] in clear error."
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَـًۭٔا وَءَاتَتْ كُلَّ وَٰحِدَةٍۢ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًۭا وَقَالَتِ ٱخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُۥٓ أَكْبَرْنَهُۥ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا مَلَكٌۭ كَرِيمٌۭ ٣١
Alipo sikia yule bibi masengenyo yao aliwaita, na akawawekea matakia ya kuegemea, na akampa kila mmoja wao kisu. Akamwambia Yusuf: Tokeza mbele yao. Basi walipo mwona waliona ni kitu kikubwa kabisa, na wakajikata mikono yao. Wakasema: Hasha Lillahi! Huyu si mwanaadamu. Hakuwa huyu ila ni Malaika mtukufu.
So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."
قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِ ۖ وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَ ۖ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًۭا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ ٣٢
Yule bibi aksema: Huyu basi ndiye huyo mliye nilaumia! Na kweli mimi nilimtaka naye akakataa. Na akitofanya ninayo muamrisha basi hapana shaka atafungwa gerezani, na atakuwa miongoni mwa walio chini kabisa.
She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased."
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱلسِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ ۖ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّى كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ ٣٣
Yusuf akasema: Ee Mola Mlezi wangu! Nastahabu kifungo kuliko haya anayo niitia. Na usipo niondoshea vitimbi vya wanawake mimi nitamili kwao, na nitakuwa katika wajinga.
He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be of the ignorant."
فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٣٤
Basi Mola wake Mlezi akamwitikia, na akamwondoshea vitimbi vyao. Hakika Yeye ni Msikizi Mjuzi.
So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُۥ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍۢ ٣٥
Basi ikawadhihirikia baada ya kuona Ishara kuwa wamfunge kwa muda.
Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that al-'Azeez should surely imprison him for a time.
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ ٱلسِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ ۖ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًۭا ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْءَاخَرُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِى خُبْزًۭا تَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ ۖ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٣٦
Wakaingia gerezani pamoja naye vijana wawili. Mmoja wao akasema: Hakika mimi nimeota nakamua mvinyo. Na mwingine akasema: Mimi nimeota nimebeba mikate juu ya kichwa changu, na ndege wanaila. Hebu tuambie tafsiri yake, kwani sisi tunakuona wewe ni katika watu wema.
And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." The other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [some] bread, from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you to be of those who do good."
قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌۭ تُرْزَقَانِهِۦٓ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِى رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنِّى تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍۢ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَهُم بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ كَٰفِرُونَ ٣٧
Akasema: Hakitakufikilieni chakula mtakacho pewa ila nitakwambieni hakika yake kabla hakijakufikieni. Haya ni katika yale aliyo nifundisha Mola wangu Mlezi. Hakika mimi nimeacha mila ya watu wasio muamini Mwenyezi Mungu, na wakawa hawaiamini Akhera.
He said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers.
وَٱتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ ءَابَآءِىٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ مَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍۢ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ ٣٨
Na nimefuata mila ya baba zangu, Ibrahim, na Is-haq, na Yaa'qub. Hatuna haki ya kumshirikisha Mwenyezi Mungu na chochote. Hiyo ni katika fadhila ya Mwenyezi Mungu juu yetu na juu ya watu; lakini watu wengi hawashukuru.
And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.
يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌۭ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ ٣٩
Enyi wafungwa wenzangu wawili! Je, mabwana wengi wanao farikiana wao kwa wao ni bora au Mwenyezi Mungu Mmoja Mwenye nguvu?
O [my] two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing?
مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءًۭ سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ ۚ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۚ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلدِّينُ ٱلْقَيِّمُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٠
Hamuabudu badala yake ila majina tu mliyo yapanga nyinyi na baba zenu. Mwenyezi Mungu hakuyateremshia hayo uthibitisho wowote. Hapana hukumu ila ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Yeye ameamrisha msimuabudu yeyote isipo kuwa Yeye tu. Hiyo ndiyo Dini Iliyo Nyooka. Lakini watu wengi hawajui.
You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَمَّآ أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِى رَبَّهُۥ خَمْرًۭا ۖ وَأَمَّا ٱلْءَاخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِۦ ۚ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ ٤١
Enyi wafungwa wenzangu wawili! Ama mmoja wenu atamnywesha bwana wake mvinyo. Na ama mwengine atasulubiwa, na ndege watamla kichwa chake. Imekwisha katwa hukumu ya hilo jambo mlilo kuwa mkiuliza.
O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire."
وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍۢ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَىٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ ٤٢
Na akamwambia yule aliye jua kuwa atavuka katika wale wawili: Nikumbuke kwa bwana wako. Lakini Shet'ani alimsahaulisha kumtaja kwa bwana wake. Basi Yusuf akakaa gerezani miaka kadhaa.
And he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master." But Satan made him forget the mention [to] his master, and Joseph remained in prison several years.
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ سَبْعَ بَقَرَٰتٍۢ سِمَانٍۢ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌۭ وَسَبْعَ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍۢ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍۢ ۖ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِى فِى رُءْيَٰىَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّءْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ ٤٣
Na siku moja mfalme alisema: Hakika mimi nimeota ng'ombe saba wanene wanaliwa na ng'ombe saba walio konda. Na mashuke saba mabichi na mengine makavu. Enyi waheshimiwa! Nambieni maana ya ndoto zangu, ikiwa nyinyi mnaweza kuagua ndoto.
And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."
قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍۢ ۖ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَٰمِ بِعَٰلِمِينَ ٤٤
Wakasema: Hizi ni ndoto zilizo paraganyika, wala sisi sio wenye kujua tafsiri ya ndoto hizi.
They said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams."
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَٱدَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا۠ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ فَأَرْسِلُونِ ٤٥
Hapo akasema yule aliye okoka katika wale wawili akakumbuka baada ya muda: Mimi nitakwambieni tafsiri yake. Basi nitumeni.
But the one who was freed and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth."
يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٰتٍۢ سِمَانٍۢ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌۭ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍۢ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍۢ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ ٤٦
Yusuf! Ewe mkweli! Tueleze nini maana ya ng'ombe saba wanene kuliwa na ng'ombe saba walio konda. Na mashuke saba mabichi na mengine makavu, ili nirejee kwa watu wapate kujua.
[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [about you]."
قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًۭا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِى سُنۢبُلِهِۦٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ ٤٧
Akasema: Mtalima miaka saba kwa juhudi. Mtacho vuna kiwacheni katika mashuke yake, isipo kuwa kidogo mtacho kula.
[Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat.
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌۭ شِدَادٌۭ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًۭا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ ٤٨
Kisha itakuja baadaye miaka saba ya shida itakayo kula kile mlicho iwekea isipo kuwa kidogo mtacho kihifadhi.
Then will come after that seven difficult [years] which will consume what you saved for them, except a little from which you will store.
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌۭ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ ٤٩
Kisha baada ya haya utakuja mwaka ambao katika mwaka huo watu watasaidiwa, na watakamua.
Then will come after that a year in which the people will be given rain and in which they will press [olives and grapes]."
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦ ۖ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ ٱلرَّسُولُ قَالَ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَسْـَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ ٱلنِّسْوَةِ ٱلَّٰتِى قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌۭ ٥٠
Na mfalme akasema: Mleteni kwangu! Basi mjumbe alipo mjia Yusuf alisema: Rejea kwa bwana wako ukamuulize khabari ya wale wanawake walio jikata mikono yao. Hakika Mola wangu Mlezi anazijua vyema hila zao.
And the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan."
قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَٰوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ ۚ قُلْنَ حَٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوٓءٍۢ ۚ قَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْـَٰٔنَ حَصْحَصَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَنَا۠ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ ٥١
Mfalme alisema: Mlikuwa mna nini mlipo mtaka Yusuf kinyume na nafsi yake? Wakasema: Hasha Lillahi! Sisi hatukujua ubaya wowote kwake. Mke wa Mheshimiwa akasema: Sasa haki imedhihiri. Mimi ndiye niliye mtaka kinyume na nafsi yake, na hakika yeye ni katika wakweli.
Said [the king to the women], "What was your condition when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Perfect is Allah! We know about him no evil." The wife of al-'Azeez said, "Now the truth has become evident. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful.
ذَٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّى لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى كَيْدَ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ ٥٢
Hayo ni apate kujua ya kwamba mimi sikumfanyia khiyana nyuma yake; na ya kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu haziongoi hila za makhaini.
That is so al-'Azeez will know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allah does not guide the plan of betrayers.
۞ وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ ٥٣
NAMI sijitoi lawamani. Kwa hakika nafsi ni mno kuamrisha maovu, isipo kuwa ile ambayo Mola wangu Mlezi aliyo irehemu. Hakika Mola wangu Mlezi ni Msamehevu na Mwenye kurehemu.
And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى ۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌۭ ٥٤
Basi mfalme akasema: Mleteni kwangu, awe wangu mwenyewe khasa. Basi alipo msemeza alinena: Hakika wewe leo umekwisha tamakani kwetu na umeaminika.
And the king said, "Bring him to me; I will appoint him exclusively for myself." And when he spoke to him, he said, "Indeed, you are today established [in position] and trusted."
قَالَ ٱجْعَلْنِى عَلَىٰ خَزَآئِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنِّى حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌۭ ٥٥
Yusuf akasema: Nifanye mshika khazina za nchi. Kwani hakika mimi ni mlinzi mjuzi.
[Joseph] said, "Appoint me over the storehouses of the land. Indeed, I will be a knowing guardian."
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ ۚ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ ۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٥٦
Basi namna hivi tukampa Yusuf cheo katika nchi; anakaa humo popote anapo penda. Tunamfikishia rehema zetu tumtakaye, wala hatupuuzi malipo ya wafanyao mema.
And thus We established Joseph in the land to settle therein wherever he willed. We touch with Our mercy whom We will, and We do not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.
وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ ٥٧
Na hakika malipo ya Akhera ni bora zaidi, kwa walio amini na wakawa wachamngu.
And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing Allah.
وَجَآءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ فَدَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ ٥٨
Wakaja ndugu zake Yusuf, na wakaingia kwake. Yeye akawajua na wao hawakumjua.
And the brothers of Joseph came [seeking food], and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown.
وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ٱئْتُونِى بِأَخٍۢ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ ۚ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنِّىٓ أُوفِى ٱلْكَيْلَ وَأَنَا۠ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ ٥٩
Na alipo watengenezea tayari haja yao alisema: Nileteeni ndugu yenu kwa baba. Je! Hamwoni ya kwamba mimi ninatimiza kipimo, nami ni mbora wa kukirimu?
And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do not you see that I give full measure and that I am the best of accommodators?
فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِى وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ ٦٠
Na msipo niletea basi hampati kipimo chochote kwangu, wala msinikurubie.
But if you do not bring him to me, no measure will there be [hereafter] for you from me, nor will you approach me."
قَالُوا۟ سَنُرَٰوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَٰعِلُونَ ٦١
Wakasema: Sisi tutamrairai baba yake; na bila ya shaka tutafanya hayo.
They said, "We will attempt to dissuade his father from [keeping] him, and indeed, we will do [it]."
وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَٰنِهِ ٱجْعَلُوا۟ بِضَٰعَتَهُمْ فِى رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَآ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ ٦٢
Na Yusuf akawaambia watumishi wake: Tieni bidhaa zao katika mizigo yao, ili wazione watakapo rudi kwa watu wao wapate kurejea tena.
And [Joseph] said to his servants, "Put their merchandise into their saddlebags so they might recognize it when they have gone back to their people that perhaps they will [again] return."
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيهِمْ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا ٱلْكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَآ أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ ٦٣
Basi walipo rejea kwa baba yao, walisema: Ewe baba yetu! Tumenyimwa chakula zaidi, basi mpeleke nasi ndugu yetu ili tupate kupimiwa; na yakini sisi tutamlinda.
So when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, [further] measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother [that] we will be given measure. And indeed, we will be his guardians."
قَالَ هَلْ ءَامَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ فَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَٰفِظًۭا ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ٦٤
Je, nikuaminini kwa huyu ila kama nilivyo kuaminini kwa nduguye zamani? Lakini Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mbora wa kulinda, naye ndiye Mbora wa kurehemu kuliko wenye kurehemu wote.
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا۟ مَتَٰعَهُمْ وَجَدُوا۟ بِضَٰعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِى ۖ هَٰذِهِۦ بِضَٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا ۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍۢ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ كَيْلٌۭ يَسِيرٌۭ ٦٥
Na walipo fungua mizigo yao wakakuta bidhaa zao wamerudishiwa. Wakasema: Ewe baba yetu! Tutake nini zaidi? Hizi bidhaa zetu tumerudishiwa. Wacha tuwaletee watu wetu chakula, na tutamlinda ndugu yetu, na tutaongeza shehena ya ngamia. Na hicho ni kipimo kidogo.
And when they opened their baggage, they found their merchandise returned to them. They said, "O our father, what [more] could we desire? This is our merchandise returned to us. And we will obtain supplies for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement."
قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُۥ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًۭا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِى بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ ۖ فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌۭ ٦٦
Akasema: Sitampeleka nanyi mpaka mnipe ahadi kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwamba lazima mtamrejeza kwangu, ila ikiwa mmezungukwa. Basi walipo mpa ahadi yao alisema: Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mtegemewa kwa tuyasemayo.
[Jacob] said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise by Allah that you will bring him [back] to me, unless you should be surrounded by enemies." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allah, over what we say, is Witness."
وَقَالَ يَٰبَنِىَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا۟ مِنۢ بَابٍۢ وَٰحِدٍۢ وَٱدْخُلُوا۟ مِنْ أَبْوَٰبٍۢ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍۢ ۖ وَمَآ أُغْنِى عَنكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ۖ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٦٧
Na akasema: Enyi wanangu! Msiingie mlango mmoja, bali ingieni kwa milango mbali mbali. Wala mimi sikufaeni kitu mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Hukumu haiko ila kwa Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Juu yake Yeye mimi nimetegemea, na juu yake Yeye wategemee wanao tegemea.
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates; and I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allah at all. The decision is only for Allah; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِى عَنْهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةًۭ فِى نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَىٰهَا ۚ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلْمٍۢ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَٰهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ ٦٨
Na walipo ingia kama alivyo waamrisha baba yao, haikuwafaa kitu kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, isipo kuwa ni haja tu iliyo kuwa katika nafsi ya Yaa'qub aliitimiza. Na hakika yeye alikuwa na ilimu kwa sababu tulimfundisha; lakini watu wengi hawajui.
And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allah at all except [it was] a need within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ٦٩
Na walipo ingia kwa Yusuf alimchukua nduguye akasema: Mimi hakika ni nduguyo. Basi usihuzunike kwa waliyo kuwa wakiyafanya.
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]."
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَٰرِقُونَ ٧٠
Na alipo kwisha watengenezea mahitaji yao akakitia kikopo cha kunywea maji katika mzigo wa nduguye huyo, kisha mnadi akanadi: Enyi wasafiri! Hapana shaka nyinyi ni wezi!
So when he had furnished them with their supplies, he put the [gold measuring] bowl into the bag of his brother. Then an announcer called out, "O caravan, indeed you are thieves."
قَالُوا۟ وَأَقْبَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ ٧١
Wakasema nao wamewakabili: Kwani mmepoteza nini?
They said while approaching them, "What is it you are missing?"
قَالُوا۟ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَآءَ بِهِۦ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍۢ وَأَنَا۠ بِهِۦ زَعِيمٌۭ ٧٢
Wakasema: Tumepoteza kopo la mfalme. Na ataye lileta atapewa shehena nzima ya ngamia. Nami ni dhaamini wa hayo.
They said, "We are missing the measure of the king. And for he who produces it is [the reward of] a camel's load, and I am responsible for it."
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَٰرِقِينَ ٧٣
Wakasema: Wallahi! Mnajua vyema kwamba sisi hatukuja kufanya uharibifu katika nchi hii, wala sisi si wezi.
They said, "By Allah, you have certainly known that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves."
قَالُوا۟ فَمَا جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥٓ إِن كُنتُمْ كَٰذِبِينَ ٧٤
Wakasema: Basi malipo yake yatakuwa nini ikiwa nyinyi ni waongo?
The accusers said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars?"
قَالُوا۟ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ مَن وُجِدَ فِى رَحْلِهِۦ فَهُوَ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٧٥
Wakasema: Malipo yake ni yule ambaye ataonekana nalo yeye huyo ndiye malipo yake. Hivi ndivyo tunavyo walipa madhaalimu.
[The brothers] said, "Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found - he [himself] will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers."
فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَ ۖ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِى دِينِ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ۚ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَٰتٍۢ مَّن نَّشَآءُ ۗ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِى عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌۭ ٧٦
Basi akaanza kwenye mizigo yao kabla ya mzigo wa nduguye. Kisha akakitoa katika mzigo wa nduguye. Hivi ndivyo tulivyo mpangia Yusuf. Hakuweza kumzuia nduguye kwa sharia ya mfalme isipo kuwa alivyo taka Mwenyezi Mungu. Tunawatukuza kwenye vyeo tuwatakao; na juu ya kila ajuaye yupo ajuaye zaidi.
So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.
۞ قَالُوٓا۟ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌۭ لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّۭ مَّكَانًۭا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ ٧٧
Wakasema: Ikiwa huyu ameiba, basi nduguye vile vile aliiba zamani. Lakini Yusuf aliyaweka siri moyoni mwake wala hakuwaonyesha. Akawaambia: Nyinyi mko katika hali mbaya zaidi, na Mwenyezi Mungu anajua zaidi hayo mnayo singizia.
They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, "You are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe."
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُۥٓ أَبًۭا شَيْخًۭا كَبِيرًۭا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُۥٓ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٧٨
Wakasema: Ewe Mheshimiwa! Huyu anaye baba mzee sana. Kwa hivyo mchukue mmoja wetu badala yake. Hakika sisi tunakuona wewe ni katika watu wema.
They said, "O 'Azeez, indeed he has a father [who is] an old man, so take one of us in place of him. Indeed, we see you as a doer of good."
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّظَٰلِمُونَ ٧٩
Akasema: Mwenyezi Mungu apishe mbali kumshika yeyote yule isipo kuwa tuliye mkuta naye kitu chetu. Hivyo basi tutakuwa wenye kudhulumu.
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."
فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْـَٔسُوا۟ مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا۟ نَجِيًّۭا ۖ قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًۭا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِى يُوسُفَ ۖ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ ٱلْأَرْضَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْذَنَ لِىٓ أَبِىٓ أَوْ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ لِى ۖ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ ٱلْحَٰكِمِينَ ٨٠
Walipo kata tamaa naye wakenda kando kunong'ona. Mkubwa wao akasema: Je! Hamjui ya kwamba baba yenu amechukua ahadi kwenu kutokana na Mwenyezi Mungu, na kabla ya hapo mlimkosa katika agano lenu juu ya Yusuf? Basi mimi sitotoka nchi hii mpaka baba yangu anipe ruhusa au Mwenyezi Mungu anihukumie. Na Yeye ndiye Mbora wa mahakimu.
So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father has taken upon you an oath by Allah and [that] before you failed in [your duty to] Joseph? So I will never leave [this] land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of judges.
ٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَآ إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَٰفِظِينَ ٨١
Rudini kwa baba yenu, na mwambieni: Ee baba yetu! Mwanao ameiba. Na sisi hatutoi ushahidi ila kwa tunayo yajua. Wala sisi hatukuwa wenye kuhifadhi mambo ya ghaibu.
Return to your father and say, "O our father, indeed your son has stolen, and we did not testify except to what we knew. And we were not witnesses of the unseen,
وَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنَّا فِيهَا وَٱلْعِيرَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا ۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ ٨٢
Na waulize watu wa mji tulio kuwako, na msafara tulio kuja nao. Na hakika sisi tunasema kweli.
And ask the city in which we were and the caravan in which we came - and indeed, we are truthful,"
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًۭا ۖ فَصَبْرٌۭ جَمِيلٌ ۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِى بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٨٣
Akasema: Bali nafsi zenu zimekushawishini kwenye jambo fulani. Subira ni njema! Asaa Mwenyezi Mungu akaniletea wote pamoja. Hakika Yeye ni Mjuzi Mwenye hikima.
[Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. Perhaps Allah will bring them to me all together. Indeed it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise."
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌۭ ٨٤
Naye akajitenga nao, na akasema: Ah! Masikini Yusuf! Na macho yake yakawa meupe kwa huzuni aliyo kuwa akiizuia.
And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ تَفْتَؤُا۟ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّىٰ تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْهَٰلِكِينَ ٨٥
Wakasema: Wallahi! Huachi kumkumbuka Yusuf mpaka uwe mgonjwa au uwe katika walio hiliki.
They said, "By Allah, you will not cease remembering Joseph until you become fatally ill or become of those who perish."
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُوا۟ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٨٦
Akasema: Hakika mimi namshitakia Mwenyezi Mungu sikitiko langu na huzuni yangu. Na ninajua kwa Mwenyezi Mungu msiyo yajua nyinyi.
He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know.
يَٰبَنِىَّ ٱذْهَبُوا۟ فَتَحَسَّسُوا۟ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَا۟يْـَٔسُوا۟ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَا۟يْـَٔسُ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ ٨٧
Enyi wanangu! Nendeni mkamtafute Yusuf na nduguye, wala msikate tamaa na faraji ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika hawakati tamaa na faraji ya Mwenyezi Mungu isipo kuwa watu makafiri.
O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَٰعَةٍۢ مُّزْجَىٰةٍۢ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا ٱلْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَآ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْزِى ٱلْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ٨٨
Basi walipo ingia kwa Yusuf walisema: Ewe Mheshimiwa! Imetupata shida, sisi na watu wetu. Na tumeleta mali kidogo. Basi tupimie kipimo na fanya kama unatupa sadaka. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu huwalipa watoao sadaka.
So when they entered upon Joseph, they said, "O 'Azeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come with goods poor in quality, but give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allah rewards the charitable."
قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَٰهِلُونَ ٨٩
Akasema: Je! Mmejua mliyo mfanyia Yusuf na nduguye mlipo kuwa wajinga?
He said, "Do you know what you did with Joseph and his brother when you were ignorant?"
قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُ ۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَآ أَخِى ۖ قَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَآ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ٩٠
Wakasema: Kumbe wewe ndiye Yusuf? Akasema: Mimi ndiye Yusuf, na huyu ni ndugu yangu. Mwenyezi Mungu ametufanyia hisani. Hakika anaye mcha Mungu na akasubiri, basi Mwenyezi Mungu haachi ukapotea ujira wa wafanyao mema.
They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allah has certainly favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ ءَاثَرَكَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَٰطِـِٔينَ ٩١
Wakasema: Wallahi! Mwenyezi Mungu amekufadhilisha wewe kuliko sisi, na hakika sisi tulikuwa wenye kukosa.
They said, "By Allah, certainly has Allah preferred you over us, and indeed, we have been sinners."
قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ ۖ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ٩٢
Akasema: Leo hapana lawama juu yenu. Mwenyezi Mungu atakusameheni, naye ni Mwingi wa kurehemu kuliko wote wanao rehemu.
He said, "No blame will there be upon you today. Allah will forgive you; and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
ٱذْهَبُوا۟ بِقَمِيصِى هَٰذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِ أَبِى يَأْتِ بَصِيرًۭا وَأْتُونِى بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ ٩٣
Nendeni na kanzu yangu hii na mumwekee usoni baba yangu, atakuwa mwenye kuona. Na mje nao watu wenu wote wa nyumbani.
Take this, my shirt, and cast it over the face of my father; he will become seeing. And bring me your family, all together."
وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ ٩٤
Na ulipo ondoka tu msafara baba yao alisema: Hakika mimi nasikia harufu ya Yusuf, lau kuwa hamtanituhumu.
And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said, "Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind."
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِى ضَلَٰلِكَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ ٩٥
Wakasema: Wallahi! Hakika bado ungali katika upotovu wako wa zamani.
They said, "By Allah, indeed you are in your [same] old error."
فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَىٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ فَٱرْتَدَّ بَصِيرًۭا ۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٩٦
Basi alipo fika mbashiri na akaiweka kanzu usoni pake alirejea kuona. Akasema: Je! Sikukwambieni kuwa mimi najua ya Mwenyezi Mungu msiyo yajua nyinyi?
And when the bearer of good tidings arrived, he cast it over his face, and he returned [once again] seeing. He said, "Did I not tell you that I know from Allah that which you do not know?"
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا خَٰطِـِٔينَ ٩٧
Wakasema: Ee baba yetu! Tuombee msamaha kwa dhambi zetu. Hapana shaka sisi tulikuwa na makosa.
They said, "O our father, ask for us forgiveness of our sins; indeed, we have been sinners."
قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّىٓ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ٩٨
Akasema: Nitakuja kuombeeni msamaha kwa Mola wangu Mlezi. Hakika Yeye ndiye Mwenye maghfira na Mwenye kusamehe.
He said, "I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مِصْرَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ ٩٩
Na walipo ingia kwa Yusuf aliwakumbatia wazazi wake na akasema: Ingieni Misri, Inshallah, mmo katika amani.
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to himself and said, "Enter Egypt, Allah willing, safe [and secure]."
وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّوا۟ لَهُۥ سُجَّدًۭا ۖ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ هَٰذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُءْيَٰىَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّى حَقًّۭا ۖ وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِىٓ إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِى مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَجَآءَ بِكُم مِّنَ ٱلْبَدْوِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ أَن نَّزَغَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ إِخْوَتِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ رَبِّى لَطِيفٌۭ لِّمَا يَشَآءُ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ١٠٠
Na akawapandisha wazazi wake kwenye kiti cha enzi. Na wote wakaporomoka kumsujudia. Na akasema: Ewe baba yangu! Hii ndiyo tafsiri ya ile ndoto yangu ya zamani. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ameijaalia iwe kweli. Na Mwenyezi Mungu amenifanyia wema kunitoa gerezani, na kukuleteni kutoka jangwani baada ya Shet'ani kuchochea baina yangu na ndugu zangu. Hakika Mola wangu Mlezi ni Mpole kwa alitakalo. Bila ya shaka Yeye ni Mjuzi Mwenye hikima.
And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed to him in prostration. And he said, "O my father, this is the explanation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was certainly good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you [here] from bedouin life after Satan had induced [estrangement] between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is Subtle in what He wills. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise.
۞ رَبِّ قَدْ ءَاتَيْتَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِى مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّۦ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ ۖ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِمًۭا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ ١٠١
Ewe Mola wangu Mlezi! Hakika umenipa utawala, na umenifunza tafsiri ya mambo. Ewe Muumba wa mbingu na ardhi! Wewe ndiye Mlinzi wangu katika dunia na Akhera. Nifishe hali ya kuwa ni Muislamu na nichanganyishe na watendao mema.
My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ ١٠٢
Hizi ni katika khabari za ghaibu tulizo kufunulia. Na hukuwa pamoja nao walipo azimia shauri yao, walipo fanya njama zao wakizua vitimbi.
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal, [O Muhammad], to you. And you were not with them when they put together their plan while they conspired.
وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ ١٠٣
Na wengi wa watu si wenye kuamini hata ukijitahidi vipi..
And most of the people, although you strive [for it], are not believers.
وَمَا تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ ۚ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌۭ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ ١٠٤
Wala wewe huwaombi ujira kwa haya. Hayakuwa haya ila ni mawaidha kwa walimwengu wote.
And you do not ask of them for it any payment. It is not except a reminder to the worlds.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ ءَايَةٍۢ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ ١٠٥
Na ishara ngapi katika mbingu na ardhi wanazo zipitia, na hali ya kuwa wanazipuuza.
And how many a sign within the heavens and earth do they pass over while they, therefrom, are turning away.
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ ١٠٦
Na wengi katika wao hawamuamini Mwenyezi Mungu pasina kuwa ni washirikina.
And most of them believe not in Allah except while they associate others with Him.
أَفَأَمِنُوٓا۟ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَٰشِيَةٌۭ مِّنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةًۭ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ ١٠٧
Je! Wanaaminisha kuwa haitowajia adhabu ya Mwenyezi Mungu ya kuwagubika, au haitawafikia Saa ya Kiyama kwa ghafla, na hali hawatambui?
Then do they feel secure that there will not come to them an overwhelming [aspect] of the punishment of Allah or that the Hour will not come upon them suddenly while they do not perceive?
قُلْ هَٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِىٓ أَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۠ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِى ۖ وَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ١٠٨
Sema: Hii ndiyo Njia yangu - ninalingania kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwa kujua - mimi na wanao nifuata. Na ametakasika Mwenyezi Mungu! Wala mimi si katika washirikina.
Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him."
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًۭا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ۗ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۗ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌۭ لِّلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوْا۟ ۗ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ ١٠٩
Na hatukuwatuma Mitume kabla yako isipo kuwa wanaume tulio wafunulia wahyi miongoni mwa watu wa mijini. Je! Hawatembei katika ardhi wakaona jinsi ulivyo kuwa mwisho wa walio kuwa kabla yao? Na hakika nyumba ya Akhera ni bora kwa wamchao Mungu. Basi hamfahamu?
And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men to whom We revealed from among the people of cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah; then will you not reason?
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْـَٔسَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا۟ جَآءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّىَ مَن نَّشَآءُ ۖ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ ١١٠
Hata Mitume walipo kata tamaa na wakaona kuwa wamekadhibishwa, hapo ikawajia nusura yetu, wakaokolewa tuwatakao. Na adhabu yetu haitowawacha kaumu ya wakosefu.
[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and were certain that they had been denied, there came to them Our victory, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment cannot be repelled from the people who are criminals.
لَقَدْ كَانَ فِى قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌۭ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ ۗ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًۭا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ وَهُدًۭى وَرَحْمَةًۭ لِّقَوْمٍۢ يُؤْمِنُونَ ١١١
Kwa hakika katika hadithi zao limo zingatio kwa wenye akili. Si maneno yaliyo zuliwa, bali ni ya kusadikisha yaliyo kabla yake, na ufafanuzi wa kila kitu, na ni uwongofu na rehema kwa kaumu yenye kuamini.
There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was the Qur'an a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
