قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجۡنُ اَحَبُّ اِلَیَّ مِمَّا یَدۡعُوۡنَنِیۡۤ اِلَیۡہِ ۖ وَاِلَّا تَصۡرِفۡ عَنِّیۡ کَیۡدَہُنَّ اَصۡبُ اِلَیۡہِنَّ وَاَکُنۡ مِّنَ الۡجٰہِلِیۡنَ
English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
He said, ‘O my Lord, I would prefer prison to that to which they invite me; and unless Thou turn away their guile from me I shall incline towards them and be of the ignorant.’
اردو ترجمہ مرزا طاہر احمد خلیفة المسیح الرابعؒ
اس نے کہا اے میرے ربّ! قید خانہ مجھے زیادہ پیارا ہے اس سے جس کی طرف وہ مجھے بلاتی ہیں۔ اور اگر تُو مجھ سے اُن کی تدبیر (کا مُنہ) نہ پھیر دے تو میں ان کی طرف جھک جاؤں گا اور میں جاہلوں میں سے ہوجاؤں گا۔
French
Il dit : « Ô mon Seigneur, je préfère la prison à ce à quoi elles m’invitent ; et à moins que Tu ne détournes de moi leur fourberie, je pencherais vers elles, et je serais du nombre des ignorants. »
German
Er sprach: "O mein Herr, mir ist Gefängnis lieber als das, wozu sie mich einladen; und wenn Du nicht ihre List von mir abwendest, so könnte ich mich ihnen zuneigen und der Törichten einer sein."
Chinese
他 (听了这话, 祈祷着) 说: “我的养主啊! 我宁愿坐牢, 也不愿听从她们所召唤的那事。如果你不让我脱离她们的诡计, 那么, 我将倾向于她们, 而成为无知的人。”
Italian
Egli disse: «O mio Signore, preferisco la prigione a quello che esse mi invitano a fare; a meno che Tu non distolga da me la loro insidia, mi troverò ben disposto verso di loro e diventerò uno degli ignoranti.»
Spanish
Él dijo: “Oh, mi Señor, prefiero la prisión a aquello a lo que me invitan; pues si no apartas de mí sus engaños, me inclinaré ante ellas y me contaré entre los ignorantes”.
اردو تفسیرِ صغیر
(یہ سن کر) اس نے (دعا کرتے ہوئے) کہا (کہ) اے میرے رب! جس بات کی طرف وہ مجھے بلاتی ہے اس کی نسبت قید خانہ میں جانا مجھے زیادہ پسند ہے اور اگر ان کی تدبیر (کے بدنتیجہ) کو تو مجھ سے نہیں ہٹائے گا تو میں ان کی طرف جھک جاؤں گا۔ اور جاہلوں[2] میں سے ہو جاؤں گا۔
یعنی تیری ہی مدد سے بچ سکتا ہوں۔ ورنہ تیری مدد کے بغیر کوئی بعیدنہیں کہ میں جاہلوں کے سے کام کرنے لگوں۔
English - Short Commentary Translation
Thereupon Joseph prayed: ‘O my Lord, prison is dearer to me than what they invite me to; and unless Thou turn away their guile from me I shall be inclined towards them and be of the ignorant.’
English - Five Volume Translation
He said, ‘O my Lord, I would prefer prison to what they invite me; and unless Thou turn away their guile from me I shall incline towards them and be of the ignorant.’[1537]
Commentary:
It is extremely regrettable that although Potiphar’s wife, who wanted to entice Joseph into sin, herself openly confessed to his innocence and her women-guests also bore witness to Joseph’s piety, and though in the present verse Joseph himself says that through God’s special grace he was saved from inclining to the commission of the evil deed, yet some commentators, writing long centuries after the event, do not hesitate to accuse Joseph of feeling inclined towards that evilly-disposed woman.
