In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful

• 1.Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest.
• 2. Surely We have revealed it-- an Arabic Quran-- that you may understand.
• 3. We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Our revealing to you this Quran, though before this you were certainly one of those who did not know.
• 4. When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon-- I saw them making obeisance to me.
• 5. He said: O my son! do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they devise a plan against you; surely the Shaitan is an open enemy to man.
• 6. And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the children of Yaqoub, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq; surely your Lord is Knowing, Wise.
• 7. Certainly in Yusuf and his brothers there are signs for the inquirers.
• 8. When they said: Certainly Yusuf and his brother are dearer to our father than we, though we are a (stronger) company; most surely our father is in manifest error:
• 9. Slay Yusuf or cast him (forth) into some land, so that your father's regard may be exclusively for you, and after that you may be a righteous people.
• 10. A speaker from among them said: Do not slay Yusuf, and cast him down into the bottom of the pit if you must do (it), (so that) some of the travellers may pick him up.
• 11. They said: O our father! what reason have you that you do not trust in us with respect to Yusuf? And most surely we are his sincere well-wishers:
• 12. Send him with us tomorrow that he may enjoy himself and sport, and surely we will guard him well.
• 13. He said: Surely it grieves me that you should take him off, and I fear lest the wolf devour him while you are heedless of him.
• 14. They said: Surely if the wolf should devour him notwithstanding that we are a (strong) company, we should then certainly be losers.
• 15. So when they had gone off with him and agreed that they should put him down at the bottom of the pit, and We revealed to him: You will most certainly inform them of this their affair while they do not perceive.
• 16. And they came to their father at nightfall, weeping. 
• 17. They said: O our father! surely we went off racing and left Yusuf by our goods, so the wolf devoured him, and you will not believe us though we are truthful.
• 18. And they brought his shirt with false blood upon it. He said: Nay, your souls have made the matter light for you, but patience is good and Allah is He Whose help is sought for against what you describe.
• 19. And there came travellers and they sent their water-drawer and he let down his bucket. He said: O good news! this is a youth; and they concealed him as an article of merchandise, and Allah knew what they did.
• 20. And they sold him for a small price, a few pieces of silver, and they showed no desire for him.
• 21. And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife: Give him an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf in the land and that We might teach him the interpretation of sayings; and Allah is the master of His affair, but most people do not know.
• 22. And when he had attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge: and thus do We reward those who do good.
• 23. And she in whose house he was sought to make himself yield (to her), and she made fast the doors and said: Come forward. He said: I seek Allah's refuge, surely my Lord made good my abode: Surely the unjust do not prosper.
• 24. And certainly she made for him, and he would have made for her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidence of his Lord; thus (it was) that We might turn away from him evil and indecency, surely he was one of Our sincere servants.
• 25. And they both hastened to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind and they met her husband at the door. She said: What is the punishment of him who intends evil to your wife except imprisonment or a painful chastisement?
• 26. He said: She sought to make me yield (to her); and a witness of her own family bore witness: If his shirt is rent from front, she speaks the truth and he is one of the liars:
• 27. And if his shirt is rent from behind, she tells a lie and he is one of the truthful.
• 28. So when he saw his shirt rent from behind, he said: Surely it is a guile of you women; surely your guile is great:
• 29. O Yusuf! turn aside from this; and (O my wife)! ask forgiveness for your fault, surely you are one of the wrong-doers. 
• 30. And women in the city said: The chiefs wife seeks her slave to yield himself (to her), surely he has affected her deeply with (his) love; most surely we see her in manifest error.
