وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ ائۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِهٖۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوۡلُ قَالَ ارۡجِعۡ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَسۡــَٔلۡهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسۡوَةِ الّٰتِىۡ قَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ بِكَيۡدِهِنَّ عَلِيۡمٌ ٥٠
English translation (Pickthall)
And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile.

قَالُوۡۤا اَضۡغَاثُ اَحۡلَامٍۚ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحۡلَامِ بِعٰلِمِيۡنَ ٤٤
12:44They answered: Jumbled dreams! And we are not knowing in the interpretation of dreams.
وَقَالَ الَّذِىۡ نَجَا مِنۡهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعۡدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا اُنَـبِّئُكُمۡ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ فَاَرۡسِلُوۡنِ ٤٥
12:45And he of the two who was released, and (now) at length remembered, said: I am going to announce unto you the interpretation, therefore send me forth.
يُوۡسُفُ اَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيۡقُ اَفۡتِنَا فِىۡ سَبۡعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَّاۡكُلُهُنَّ سَبۡعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبۡعِ سُنۡۢبُلٰتٍ خُضۡرٍ وَّاُخَرَ يٰبِسٰتٍۙ لَّعَلِّۤىۡ اَرۡجِعُ اِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٤٦
12:46(And when he came to Joseph in the prison, he exclaimed): Joseph! O thou truthful one! Expound for us the seven fat kine which seven lean were eating and the seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry, that I may return unto the people, so that they may know.
قَالَ تَزۡرَعُوۡنَ سَبۡعَ سِنِيۡنَ دَاَبًاۚ فَمَا حَصَدْتُّمۡ فَذَرُوۡهُ فِىۡ سُنۡۢبُلِهٖۤ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ ٤٧
12:47He said: Ye shall sow seven years as usual, but that which ye reap, leave it in the ear, all save a little which ye eat.
ثُمَّ يَاۡتِىۡ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰ لِكَ سَبۡعٌ شِدَادٌ يَّاۡكُلۡنَ مَا قَدَّمۡتُمۡ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تُحۡصِنُوۡنَ ٤٨
12:48Then after that will come seven hard years which will devour all that ye have prepared for them, save a little of that which ye have stored.
ثُمَّ يَاۡتِىۡ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰ لِكَ عَامٌ فِيۡهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيۡهِ يَعۡصِرُوۡنَ ٤٩
12:49Then, after that, will come a year when the people will have plenteous crops and when they will press (wine and oil).
وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ ائۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِهٖۚ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوۡلُ قَالَ ارۡجِعۡ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَسۡــَٔلۡهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسۡوَةِ الّٰتِىۡ قَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ بِكَيۡدِهِنَّ عَلِيۡمٌ ٥٠
12:50And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile.
قَالَ مَا خَطۡبُكُنَّ اِذۡ رَاوَدْتُّنَّ يُوۡسُفَ عَنۡ نَّـفۡسِهٖؕ قُلۡنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا عَلِمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ سُوۡۤءٍؕ قَالَتِ امۡرَاَتُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡــٰٔنَ حَصۡحَصَ الۡحَقُّ اَنَا رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنۡ نَّـفۡسِهٖ وَاِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ٥١
12:51He (the king) (then sent for those women and) said: What happened when ye asked an evil act of Joseph? They answered: Allah Blameless! We know no evil of him. Said the wife of the ruler: Now the truth is out. I asked of him an evil act, and he is surely of the truthful.
ذٰ لِكَ لِيَـعۡلَمَ اَنِّىۡ لَمۡ اَخُنۡهُ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِىۡ كَيۡدَ الۡخَـآٮِٕنِيۡنَ ٥٢
12:52(Then Joseph said: I asked for) this, that he (my lord) may know that I betrayed him not in secret, and that surely Allah guideth not the snare of the betrayers.
