ইউসুফ বললঃ আমাকে দেশের ধন-ভান্ডারে নিযুক্ত করুন। আমি বিশ্বস্ত রক্ষক ও অধিক জ্ঞানবান।
[Yûsuf (Joseph)] said: ”Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge” (as a minister of finance in Egypt, in place of Al-’Aziz who was dead at that time).
قَالَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى خَزَآئِنِ الأَرْضِ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ
Qala ijAAalnee AAala khaza-ini al-ardi innee hafeethun AAaleemun
YUSUFALI: (Joseph) said: “Set me over the store-houses of the land: I will indeed guard them, as one that knows (their importance).”

SHAKIR: He said: Place me (in authority) over the treasures of the land, surely I am a good keeper, knowing well.
