English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

12:49

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ

English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ^ra

‘Then there shall come after that seven hard years which shall consume all that you shall have laid by in advance for them except a little which you may preserve.

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پھر اس کے بعد سات بہت سخت (سال) آئیں گے جو وہ کھا جائیں گے جو تم نے ان کے لئے آگے بھیجا ہوگا سوائے اس میں سے تھوڑے سے حصہ کے جو تم (آئندہ کاشت کے لئے) سنبھال رکھو گے۔

French

Puis viendront après cela sept années pénibles, qui consumeront tout ce que vous aurez mis en réserve d’avance pour elles, sauf le peu que vous pourrez garder. »

German

Nach diesem werden dann sieben schwere Jahre kommen, die alles aufzehren werden, was ihr an Vorrat für sie aufgespeichert hattet, bis auf weniges, das ihr bewahren mögt.

Chinese

“在那时期以后, 将有七个荒年, 除了你们所存储少量 (谷粮)以外, 它们将吃光你们先前所积存的一切 (谷粮);

Italian

Poi verranno dopo di questo sette anni duri che consumeranno tutto ciò che avreste messo da parte in anticipo per essi, ad eccezione di un poco che potrete conservare.

Spanish

“Luego vendrán tras ellos siete años duros que consumirán todo lo que hayáis reservado de antemano para ellos, excepto el poco que podáis preservar”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

پھر اس کے بعد سات سخت (تنگی کے سال) آئیں گے (اور) سوائے اس قلیل مقدار کے جسے تم پس انداز کر لو وہ اس (تمام غلہ) کو جو تم نے ان کے لئے پہلے سے جمع کر چھوڑا ہوگا کھا جائیں گے۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

‘Then there shall come after that seven hard years,[1384] which shall consume all that you shall have laid by in advance for them except a little which you may preserve;

Arabia, in the Holy Prophet’s time, was visited with a terrible famine which lasted for seven long years. It was so severe that people were forced to eat carrion (Bukhari).

English - Five Volume Translation

Then there shall come after that seven hard years which shall consume all that you shall have laid by in advance for them except a little which you may preserve.[1552]

Commentary:

Joseph explains that the seven years of famine would be so severe that all that the people had stored up during the first seven years of plenty would be eaten up except very little which they might have saved, for fear lest the famine should become prolonged or for the purpose of seed.

Here we have another point of resemblance between Joseph and the Holy Prophet. Just as in the time of Joseph, Egypt was visited with a severe seven-year famine, so in the Holy Prophet’s time Arabia had a terrible famine which lasted for seven long years. It was so severe that some people were forced to eat carrion. At last, the Holy Prophet was requested to pray to God for the removal of the famine. He prayed to God and the famine left the land after the people had been reduced to a most pitiable plight (Bukhari and Muslim). This is the twelfth point of resemblance between these two noble Prophets.

اردو ترجمہ مودودی
