يُوسُف : ٥٤

  • وَقَالَ And said
  • ٱلۡمَلِكُ the king
  • ٱئۡتُونِي Bring him to me
  • بِهِۦٓ Bring him to me
  • أَسۡتَخۡلِصۡهُ I will select him
  • لِنَفۡسِيۖ for myself
  • فَلَمَّا Then when
  • كَلَّمَهُۥ he spoke to him
  • قَالَ he said
  • إِنَّكَ Indeed, you
  • ٱلۡيَوۡمَ (are) today
  • لَدَيۡنَا with us
  • مَكِينٌ firmly established
  • أَمِينٞ (and) trusted
And the king said, "Bring him to me; I will appoint him exclusively for myself." And when he spoke to him, he said, "Indeed, you are today established [in position] and trusted."
And the king said, 'Bring him to me, that I may use him for myself', that I may make him mine exclusively, with none to share [him with me]. The messenger came to him [to Joseph] and said, 'Respond to the king!', and so he got up and bid farewell to [his] fellow-prisoners and prayed for them. He then washed himself, put on some good clothes and entered upon him. And when he had spoken with him, he said, to him: 'Indeed you are on this day in our presence established and trustworthy', a person of status, entrusted over our affair, so what do you think we should do? He said, 'Gather food [stocks] and sow abundantly in these fertile years, then store the corn in its ears. People [from far and wide] will come to you and ask you to supply them [with provisions]'. He [the king] said, 'Whom can I delegate this [task] to?'
