Verse No Pickthall Shakir Yusuf Ali Arabic
12:80 So, When they despaired of (moving) him, they conferred together apart. The eldest of them said: Know ye not how your father took an undertaking from you in Allah's name and how ye failed in the case of Joseph aforetime ? Therefore I shall not go forth from the land until my father giveth leave or Allah judgeth for me. He is the Best of Judges. Then when they despaired of him, they retired, conferring privately together. The eldest of them said: Do you not know that your father took from you a covenant in Allah's name, and how you fell short of your duty with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means depart from this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of the judges: Now when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in God's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Therefore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or God commands me; and He is the best to command. فَلَمَّا اسْتَيْءسُوا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا نَجِيًّا قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ الَمْ تَعْلَمُوا انَّ ابَاكُمْ قَدْ اخَذَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَوْثِقًا مِنْ اللَّهِ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِي يُوسُفَ فَلَنْ ابْرَحَ الْارْضَ حَتَّى يَاْذَنَ لِي ابِي اوْ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ لِي وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَكِمِينَ
