وَلَمَّا وَرَدَ مَآءَ مَدْيَنَ وَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ أُمَّةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْقُونَ وَوَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمُ ٱمْرَأَتَيْنِ تَذُودَانِ ۖ قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُمَا ۖ قَالَتَا لَا نَسْقِى حَتَّىٰ يُصْدِرَ ٱلرِّعَآءُ ۖ وَأَبُونَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ

And when he arrived at the water of Midian, he found there a party of men, watering their flocks. And he found beside them two women keeping back their flocks. He said, ‘What is the matter with you?’ They replied, ‘We cannot water our flocks until the shepherds take away their flocks, and our father is a very old man.’

اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ

پس جب وہ مدین کے پانی کے گھاٹ پر اترا۔ اس نے وہاں لوگوں کی ایک جماعت کو (اپنے جانوروں کو) پانی پلاتے ہوئے دیکھا اور ان سے پرَے دو عورتوں کو بھی موجود پایا جو اپنے جانوروں کو پرَے ہٹا رہی تھیں۔ اس نے پوچھا کہ تم دونوں کا کیا ماجرا ہے؟ انہوں نے جواب دیا ہم پانی نہیں پلائیں گی یہاں تک کہ چرواہے لَوٹ جائیں اور ہمارا باپ بہت بوڑھا ہے۔

French

Et lorsqu’il arriva au point d’eau de Madian, il y trouva un groupe d’hommes abreuvant leurs troupeaux. Et à l’écart d’eux, il trouva deux femmes qui retenaient leurs troupeaux. Il dit : « Qu’est-ce que vous avez ? » Elles dirent : « Nous ne pouvons abreuver nos troupeaux tant que les pâtres ne seront pas partis, et notre père est très vieux. »

German

Als er zum Wasser von Midian kam, fand er dort eine Schar von Leuten, die (ihr Vieh) tränkten. Und neben ihnen fand er zwei Frauen, die (ihr Vieh) zurückhielten. Er sprach: "Was ist mit euch?" Sie antworteten: "Wir können (unser Vieh) nicht eher tränken, als bis die Hirten (ihre Herden) fortgetrieben haben, und unser Vater ist ein Greis, hochbetagt."

Chinese

当他抵达麦德彦水池时, 他见到一群人在那里给 (羊) 饮水, 他发现除开他们之外, 还有两个女子在拦阻着 (她俩的羊群)。他说: “你俩有什么重要的事情?” 她俩说: “我们的父亲是个年迈的人, 只有等到牧人们离开 (水池), 我们才能 (让我们的羊群) 饮水。”

Italian

E una volta giunto alle acque di Madyan, vi trovò un gruppo di uomini che stavano abbeverando i loro greggi. E vide accanto a loro due donne, che trattenevano i loro greggi. Egli disse: «Qual è il vostro problema?» Quelle risposero: «Non possiamo abbeverare i nostri greggi finché i pastori non se ne saranno andati con i loro greggi; e nostro padre è molto vecchio.»

Spanish

Cuando llegó al agua de Madián, encontró allí a un grupo de hombres, que abrevaban a su ganado. Y tras ellos vio a dos mujeres que guardaban su ganado. Les dijo:”¿Qué os ocurre?”. Ellas respondieron: “No podemos abrevar a nuestros animales mientras que los pastores no se lleven los suyos, y nuestro padre es un hombre muy anciano”.

اردو تفسیرِ صغیر

اور جب وہ مدین شہر کے چشمہ کے پاس آیا تو اس نے اس پر لوگوںں کا ایک گروہ کھڑا دیکھا جو (اپنے جانوروں کو) پانی پلا رہے تھے اور ان سے پیچھے ہٹ کر کھڑی ہوئی دو عورتیں[3] دیکھیں جو اپنے جانوروں کو (ہجوم سے پرے) ہٹا رہی تھیں۔ موسیٰ نے ان سے کہا تم دونوں کو کیا اہم کام [4]درپیش ہے۔ اس پر دونوں عورتوں نے کہا‘ ہم پانی نہیں پلا سکتیں جب تک کہ دوسرے چرواہے چلے نہ جائیں اور ہمارا باپ بہت بوڑھا ہے (اس لئے ہمارے ساتھ نہیں آسکا) ۔

قرآن مجید میں دو عورتوں کا ذکر ہے مگر بائبل خروج باب۲ آیت۱۶ میں لکھا ہے کہ سات لڑکیاں آئی تھیں۔ یہ فرق اس لئے ہے کہ قرآن کریم میں صرف بڑی لڑکیوں کا ذکر ہے۔ کیونکہ آگے بیاہ کا معاملہ آنے والا تھا۔ بائیبل نے اس کے خلاف جتنی لڑکیاں اپنی بہنوں کے ساتھ آئی تھیں خواہ چھوٹی تھیں یا بڑی سب کا ذکر کر دیا ہے۔

یہاں خَطْب کا لفظ ہے جس کے معنے ہیں بڑا اہم کام۔

English - Short Commentary Translation

And when he arrived at the water of Midian, he found there a party of men, watering their flocks. And he found beside them two women holding back their flocks. He said, ‘What is your problem?’[2209A] They replied, ‘We cannot water our flocks until the shepherds depart with their flocks, and our father is a very old man.’

What is your trouble; or what is the matter with you?

English - Five Volume Translation

Important Words:

تذودان (keeping back) is formed from ذاد which means, he drove; drove away, and he repelled. ذاد الابل عن الماء means, he kept back or debarred the camels from the water, or prevented them from coming to it. They say ذاد عن عرضه i.e. he defended his honour (Lane & Aqrab).

یصدر (take back) is from صدر which means, he returned, went back or turned away from water. صدر الیه means, he went to it (Lane & Aqrab).

Commentary:

The girls seem to be jealous of the honour of their father and therefore in order to disabuse Moses’ mind of any possible misconception that their father was an indolent and easy-going man for having sent his young daughters to the well and keeping himself at home they say that their father is an old man and therefore could not himself come to water his flock.

The general opinion among the commentators of the Quran is that Shu‘aib was Moses’ father-in-law. In the Bible he is called Jethro (Exod. 3:1).
