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.
