فَلَمَّا So when falammā she heard samiʿat of their scheming bimakrihinna she sent arsalat for them ilayhinna and she prepared wa-aʿtadat for them lahunna a banquet muttaka-an and she gave waātat each kulla one wāḥidatin of them min'hunna a knife sikkīnan and she said waqālati Come out ukh'ruj before them ʿalayhinna Then when falammā they saw him ra-aynahu they greatly admired him akbarnahu and cut waqaṭṭaʿna their hands aydiyahunna they said waqul'na Forbid ḥāsha Allah lillahi not mā (is) this hādhā a man basharan not in (is) this hādhā but illā an angel malakun noble karīmun
Cuando [la mujer del gobernador] se enteró de sus habladurías las invitó [a su casa], les preparó un banquete y dio a cada una de ellas un cuchillo [para cortar la comida]. Entonces le dijo [a José]: “Preséntate ante ellas”. Cuando lo vieron quedaron tan asombradas [por su belleza] que se cortaron la mano [por la distracción], y dijeron: “¡Dios Santo! No es un ser humano, es un ángel hermoso”.
قَالَتْ She said qālat That fadhālikunna (is) the one alladhī you blamed me lum'tunnanī about him fīhi And certainly walaqad I sought to seduce him rāwadttuhu [from] ʿan [himself] nafsihi but he saved himself fa-is'taʿṣama and if wala-in not lam he does yafʿal what mā I order him āmuruhu surely, he will be imprisoned layus'jananna and certainly will be walayakūnan of mina those who are disgraced l-ṣāghirīna
[Dijo ella:] “Éste es por quien me censurabais. Yo quise seducirlo, pero se mantuvo casto. Si no hace lo que le pido, ordenaré que lo encarcelen y terminará siendo humillado”.
قَالَ He said qāla My Lord rabbi the prison l-sij'nu (is) dearer aḥabbu to me ilayya than what mimmā they invite me yadʿūnanī to it ilayhi And unless wa-illā You turn away taṣrif from me ʿannī their plot kaydahunna I might incline aṣbu towards them ilayhinna and [I] be wa-akun of mina the ignorant l-jāhilīna
Dijo [José]: “¡Señor mío! Prefiero la cárcel a caer en lo que éstas mujeres me proponen; pero si no apartas de mí su acoso, cederé a sus encantos y cometeré una estupidez”.
فَٱسْتَجَابَ So responded fa-is'tajāba to him lahu his Lord rabbuhu and turned away faṣarafa from him ʿanhu their plot kaydahunna Indeed, [He] innahu He huwa (is) All-Hearer l-samīʿu All-Knower l-ʿalīmu
Pero su Señor respondió a su súplica y apartó de él sus artimañas; Él todo lo oye, todo lo sabe.
ثُمَّ Then thumma (it) appeared badā to them lahum after min after baʿdi [what] mā they had seen ra-awū the signs l-āyāti surely they should imprison him layasjununnahu until ḥattā a time ḥīnin
Luego, a pesar de las pruebas de su inocencia, optaron por encarcelarlo temporalmente [para evitar los rumores].
وَدَخَلَ And entered wadakhala with him maʿahu (in) the prison l-sij'na two young men fatayāni Said qāla one of them aḥaduhumā Indeed, I innī [I] see myself arānī pressing aʿṣiru wine khamran And said waqāla the other l-ākharu Indeed, I innī [I] see myself arānī [I am] carrying aḥmilu over fawqa my head rasī bread khub'zan (were) eating takulu the birds l-ṭayru from it min'hu Inform us nabbi'nā of its interpretation bitawīlihi indeed, we innā [we] see you narāka of mina the good-doers l-muḥ'sinīna
Junto con él fueron encarcelados otros dos jóvenes. Dijo uno de ellos: “Me vi en un sueño prensando vino”. Y dijo el otro: “Yo me vi llevando pan sobre la cabeza, del cual comían los pájaros. Háblanos sobre su interpretación, porque nos pareces un hombre virtuoso”.
قَالَ He said qāla Not lā (will) come to both of you yatīkumā food ṭaʿāmun you are provided with tur'zaqānihi but illā I will inform both of you nabbatukumā of its interpretation bitawīlihi before qabla [that] an [it] comes to both of you yatiyakumā That dhālikumā (is) of what mimmā has taught me ʿallamanī my Lord rabbī Indeed, I innī [I] abandon taraktu (the) religion millata (of) a people qawmin not lā they believe yu'minūna in Allah bil-lahi and they wahum in the Hereafter bil-ākhirati [they] hum (are) disbelievers kāfirūna
[Dijo José:] “Antes de que traigan la comida ya os habré dado vuestra interpretación. La interpretación de los sueños es algo que mi Señor me enseñó; sabed primero que rechazo las costumbres de un pueblo que no cree en Dios y niega la existencia de la otra vida.
