Translation

They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them.1 He said, "You are worse in position, and Allāh is most knowing of what you describe."
Footnotes
1 - He did not answer that he himself had been stolen by them from his father.

Tafsir

They said, 'If he is stealing, a brother of his stole before', that is, Joseph - he had stolen a golden idol from his maternal grandfather and smashed it, lest he worship it. But Joseph kept it secret in his soul and did not disclose it, manifest it, to them (the [suffixed] pronoun [in yubdi-haa, 'disclose it'] refers to the word[s] in his [following] saying); he said, within himself: 'You are a worse case, than Joseph and his brother, because of your stealing a brother of yours from your father, and your wronging him. And God knows very well what you are describing', [what] you are mentioning with regard to him.
