12:14

قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَٰفِلُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

He said, ‘It grieves me that you should take him away, and I fear lest the wolf should devour him while you are heedless of him.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

اس نے کہا یقیناً مجھے یہ بات فکر میں ڈالتی ہے کہ تم اسے لے جاؤ اور میں ڈرتا ہوں کہ کہیں اسے بھیڑیا نہ کھا جائے جبکہ تم اس سے غافل ہو۔

French

Il dit : « Certainement, cela m’afflige que vous l’emmeniez, et je crains que le loup ne le dévore pendant que vous ne ferez pas attention à lui. »

German

Er sprach: "Es betrübt mich, dass ihr ihn mit fortnehmen wollt, und ich fürchte, der Wolf möchte ihn fressen, während ihr nicht auf ihn achtgebt."

Chinese

他 (雅尔孤布) 说: “我实在不放心你们把他带走, 我怕你们在对他疏忽时, 狼会把他吃掉。”

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اس نے (یعنی یعقوب نے) کہا‘ تمہارا اسے (اپنے ساتھ) لے جانا مجھے یقیناً فکر مند کرتا ہے اور میں (اس بات سے بھی) ڈرتا ہوں کہ کہیں ایسی حالت میں کہ تم اس سے غافل ہو اسے (کوئی) بھیڑیا (ہی آکر نہ) کھا جائے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

He said, ‘It grieves me that you should take him away, and I fear lest the wolf should devour[1365] him while you are heedless of him.’

It appears from this verse that Jacob had already been informed by God in a general way of the plot of Joseph’s brothers to kill him. So, as if pre-arraigning them, he used the same words which they were to use later in extenuation of their heinous crime.

English - Five Volume Translation

He said, ‘It grieves me that you should take him away, and I fear lest the wolf should devour him while you are heedless of him.’[1518]

Commentary:

This verse lends further support to the view that Joseph was not seventeen or eighteen but much younger (v. 12); otherwise there was no occasion for Jacob to fear his being devoured by a wolf. It also appears from this verse that Jacob had already been informed by God in a general way of the plot of Joseph’s brothers to kill him. So, as if pre-arraigning them, Jacob used the same words which they were to use later in extenuation of their heinous crime.
