The eldest of them said: Do you not know that your father took from you a covenant in Allah's name, and how you fell short of your duty with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means depart from this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of the judges:
Mkubwa wao akasema: Je! Hamjui ya kwamba baba yenu amechukua ahadi kwenu kutokana na Mwenyezi Mungu, na kabla ya hapo mlimkosa katika agano lenu juu ya Yusuf? Basi mimi sitotoka nchi hii mpaka baba yangu anipe ruhusa au Mwenyezi Mungu anihukumie.
