S: And when he furnished them with their provision, he said: Bring to me a brother of yours from your father; do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of hosts?
012.060 Y: “Now if ye bring him not to me, ye shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall ye (even) come near me.”
P: And if ye bring him not unto me, then there shall be no measure for you with me, nor shall ye draw near.
S: But if you do not bring him to me, you shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me.
012.061 Y: They said: “We shall certainly seek to get our wish about him from his father: Indeed we shall do it.”
P: They said: We will try to win him from his father: that we will surely do.
S: They said: We will strive to make his father yield in respect of him, and we are sure to do (it).
012.062 Y: And (Joseph) told his servants to put their stock-in-trade (with which they had bartered) into their saddle-bags, so they should know it only when they returned to their people, in order that they might come back.
P: He said unto his young men: Place their merchandise in their saddlebags, so that they may know it when they go back to their folk, and so will come again.
S: And he said to his servants: Put their money into their bags that they may recognize it when they go back to their family, so that they may come back.
012.063 Y: Now when they returned to their father, they said: “O our father! No more measure of grain shall we get (unless we take our brother): So send our brother with us, that we may get our measure; and we will indeed take every care of him.”
P: So when they went back to their father they said: O our father! The measure is denied us, so send with us our brother that we may obtain the measure, surely we will guard him well.
S: So when they returned to their father, they said: O our father, the measure is withheld from us, therefore send with us our brother, (so that) we may get the measure, and we will most surely guard him.
012.064 Y: He said: “Shall I trust you with him with any result other than when I trusted you with his brother aforetime? But Allah is the best to take care (of him), and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!”
P: He said: Can I entrust him to you save as I entrusted his brother to you aforetime? Allah is better at guarding, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
S: He said: I cannot trust in you with respect to him, except as I trusted in you with respect to his brother before; but Allah is the best Keeper, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful ones.
012.065 Y: Then when they opened their baggage, they found their stock-in-trade had been returned to them. They said: “O our father! What (more) can we desire? this our stock-in-trade has been returned to us: so we shall get (more) food for our family; We shall take care of our brother; and add (at the same time) a full camel’s load (of grain to our provisions). This is but a small quantity.”
