Translation

EN

When she heard of their malicious talk, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them: she gave each of them a knife: and she said (to Joseph), "Come out before them." When they saw him, they did extol him, and (in their amazement) cut their hands: they said, "Allah preserve us! no mortal is this! this is none other than a noble angel!"

A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain

When she heard their malicious talk, she prepared a banquet and sent for them, giving each of them a knife. She said to Joseph, ‘Come out and show yourself to them!’ and when the women saw him, they were stunned by his beauty, and cut their hands, exclaiming, ‘Great God! He cannot be mortal! He must be a precious angel!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved

And when she heard of their sly talk, she sent to them and prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, exclaiming: Allah Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious angel.

M. Pickthallpublic-domain

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 Allāh! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."

Kadınların kendisini yermesini işitince onları davet etti; koltuklar hazırladı; geldiklerinde her birine birer bıçak verdi. Yusuf'a: "Yanlarına çık" dedi. Kadınlar Yusuf'u görünce şaşıp ellerini kestiler ve "Allah'ı tenzih ederiz ama, bu insan değil ancak çok güzel bir melektir" dediler.

Azizin karısı, onların gizliden gizliye dedikodu yaydıklarını işitince, onlara davetçi gönderdi ve onlara mükellef bir sofra hazırladı. Her birine bir bıçak verdi, beri taraftan da Yusuf'a "çık karşılarına" dedi. Görür görmez hepsi onu gözlerinde çok büyüttüler ve (şaşkınlıkla) ellerini kestiler. Dediler ki: "Hâşâ! Allah için, bu bir insan değil, olsa olsa yüce bir melektir."

Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain

(Züleyha) onların dedikodusunu duyunca, onlara (davetçi) göndermiş, onlar için dayanacak yastıklar (iyi bir sofra ortamı) hazırlamış, her birine bir bıçak vermiş, (Yusuf’a da:) “Çık karşılarına!” demişti. (Kadınlar) onu görünce, onu (gözlerinde) büyütmüş, (şaşkınlıklarından) ellerini kesmişler ve şöyle demişlerdi: “Haşa! Allah için! Bu, bir insan olamaz. Bu ancak değerli bir melektir!”

فلما سمعت امرأة العزيز بغِيْبتهن إياها واحتيالهن في ذمِّها، أرسلت إليهن تدعوهن لزيارتها، وهيَّأت لهن ما يتكئن عليه من الوسائد، وما يأكلنه من الطعام، وأعطت كل واحدة منهن سكينًا ليُقَطِّعن الطعام، ثم قالت ليوسف: اخرج عليهن، فلما رأينه أعظمنه وأجللنه، وأخَذَهن حسنه وجماله، فجرحن أيديهن وهن يُقَطِّعن الطعام من فرط الدهشة والذهول، وقلن متعجبات: معاذ الله، ما هذا من جنس البشر؛ لأن جماله غير معهود في البشر، ما هو إلا مَلَك كريم من الملائكة.
