M.Pickthall
69. And when they went in before Joseph, he took his brother unto himself, saying: 
Lo; I, even I, am thy brother, therefore sorrow not for what they did.
Yusuf Ali
69. Now when they came into Joseph's presence he received his (full) brother to 
stay with him.  He said (to him): "Behold! I am thy (own) brother; so grieve not 
at aught of their doings."





M.Pickthall
70. And when he provided them with their provision, he put the drinking cup in 
his brother's saddlebag, and then a crier cried: O camel riders! Ye are 
surely thieves!
Yusuf Ali
70. At length when he had furnished them forth with provisions (suitable) for 
them he put the drinking cup into his brother's saddlebag.  Then shouted out 
a Crier: "O ye (in) the Caravan! Behold! ye are thieves without doubt!"





M.Pickthall
71. They cried, coming toward them: What is it ye have lost?
Yusuf Ali
71. They said turning towards them: "What is it that ye miss?"





M.Pickthall
72. They said: We have lost the king's cup, and he who bringeth it shall 
have a camel load, and I (said Joseph) am answerable for it.
Yusuf Ali
72. They said: "We miss the great beaker of the king; for him who produces 
it is (the reward of) a camel-load; I will be bound by it."





M.Pickthall
73. They said: By Allah, well ye know we came not to do evil in the land, 
and are no thieves.
Yusuf Ali
73. (The brothers) said: "By Allah! well ye know that we came not to make 
mischief in the land and we are no thieves!"





M.Pickthall
74. They said : And what shall be the penalty for it if ye prove liars?
Yusuf Ali
74. (The Egyptians) said: "What then shall be the penalty of this if ye 
are (proved) to have lied?"





M.Pickthall
75. They said: The penalty for it! He in whose bag (the cup) is found, 
he is the penalty for it. Thus we requite wrongdoers.
Yusuf Ali
75. They said: "The penalty should be that he in whose saddle bag it is 
found should be held (as bondman) to atone for the (crime).  Thus it is 
we punish the wrongdoers!"





M.Pickthall
76. Then he (Joseph) began the search with their bags before his brother's 
bag, then he produced it from his brother's bag. Thus did We contrive for 
Joseph. He could not have taken his brother according to the king's law 
unless Allah willed. We raise by grades (of mercy) whom We will, and over 
every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.
Yusuf Ali
76. So he began (the search) with their baggage before (he came to) the 
baggage of his brother: at length He brought it out of his brother's baggage.  
Thus did We plan for Joseph.  He could not take his brother by the law of 
the king except that Allah willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) 
whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is One the All-Knowing.





M.Pickthall
77. They said : If he stealeth, a brother of his stole before. But Joseph 
kept it secret in his soul and revealed it not unto them. He said (within 
himself) : Ye are in worse case and Allah knoweth best (the truth of) that 
which ye allege.
Yusuf Ali
77. They said: "If he steals there was a brother of his who did steal before 
(him)." But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart revealing not 
the secrets to them.  He (simply) said (to himself): "Ye are the worse 
situated; and Allah knoweth best the truth of what ye assert!"
