وَقَالَ And he said waqāla O my sons yābaniyya (Do) not lā enter tadkhulū from min one gate bābin one gate wāḥidin but enter wa-ud'khulū from min gates abwābin different mutafarriqatin And not wamā I can avail ugh'nī you ʿankum against mina Allah l-lahi any min thing shayin Not ini (is) the decision l-ḥuk'mu except illā with Allah lillahi upon Him ʿalayhi I put my trust tawakkaltu and upon Him waʿalayhi let put (their) trust falyatawakkali the ones who put trust l-mutawakilūna
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates; and I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allāh at all. The decision is only for Allāh; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
وَلَمَّا And when walammā they entered dakhalū from min where ḥaythu ordered them amarahum their father abūhum not mā it kāna avail(ed) yugh'nī them ʿanhum against mina Allah l-lahi any min thing shayin but illā (it was) a need ḥājatan of fī Yaqub's soul nafsi Yaqub's soul yaʿqūba which he carried out qaḍāhā And indeed, he wa-innahu (was) a possessor ladhū (of) knowledge ʿil'min because limā We had taught him ʿallamnāhu but walākinna most akthara (of) the people l-nāsi (do) not lā know yaʿlamūna
And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allāh at all except [it was] a need [i.e., concern] within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
