And when he [i.e., Joseph] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.

— Saheeh International

When he reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge: this is how We reward those who do good.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And when he [Yûsuf (Joseph)] attained his full manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge (the Prophethood); thus We reward the Muhsinûn (doers of good - see the footnote of V.9:120).

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
