surah Yusuf aya 67 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿وَقَالَ يَا بَنِيَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا مِن بَابٍ وَاحِدٍ وَادْخُلُوا مِنْ أَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ ۖ وَمَا أُغْنِي عَنكُم مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَيْءٍ ۖ إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ﴾
[ يوسف: 67]
12:67 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] Allah at all. The decision is only for Allah; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishAlso, their father advised them not to enter Egypt from one gate all together, but to enter from different gates.
This would be safer in terms of someone harming all of them if someone wished to do so.
He did not say this so as to be able to stop any harm that Allah willed for them, or to bring them any benefit which Allah did not will for them, because the decree is Allah’s alone, and the command is His alone.
Their father said that he placed his trust in Him alone concerning everything in his life, and that those who trust should put their trust in Him alone concerning everything in their lives.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And he said: "O my sons! Do not enter by one gate, but enter by different gates, and I cannot avail you against Allah at all. Verily! The decision rests only with Allah. In him, I put my trust and let all those that trust, put their trust in Him."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
Further he said: "O my sons! enter not all by one gate: enter ye by different gates. Not that I can profit you aught against Allah (with my advice): None can command except Allah: On Him do I put my trust: and let all that trust put their trust on Him."
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And he said: "O my sons! Do not enter by one gate, but enter by different gates, and I cannot avail you against Allah at all. Verily, the decision rests only with Allah. In Him, I put my trust and let all those that trust, put their trust in Him."
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
12:67 And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate translate in arabic
وقال يابني لا تدخلوا من باب واحد وادخلوا من أبواب متفرقة وما أغني عنكم من الله من شيء إن الحكم إلا لله عليه توكلت وعليه فليتوكل المتوكلون
سورة: يوسف - آية: ( 67 ) - جزء: ( 13 ) - صفحة: ( 243 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
He -Yaqub- in a word with grace divine imbued, advised his sons , not to make entry through the same gate. He said to them: O my sons, do not all enter by the same gate but segregate yourselves from one another and enter by different gates. Not that I will deprecate a misfortune that Allah has meant to befall you, it is not in mortals to command success. Allah is He Who has the command; in Him do I trust and in Him must all the faithful put their trust
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(12:67) Then he said "O my children, do not enter the capital of Egypt by one gate but go into it by different gates. *53
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate meaning
*53) Prophet Jacob's great concern over this journey of his sons was due to the fact that his youngest son, Benjamin, was to accompany them. He was anxious about his safety because he had already had a sad experience of his son, Joseph. Naturally his heart must have been full of such misgivings that that might be his last meeting with his other beloved son. Though he had full trust in Allah and was patiently resigned to His will, he, as a human being, advised his sons to take certain precautionary measures. In order to understand the significance of this precautionary measure of entering the capital by different gates, we should have a glimpse of the political conditions of that period. As the Israelites lived on the Eastern frontier of Egypt as independent clans, they were looked at with suspicion like all frontier people. Therefore Prophet Jacob feared that if they entered the city in a group, they might be taken for a gang of suspects, especially during that time of famine. Thus there was an apprehension of some severe action being taken against them as if they had come there for organized robbery. That was why he gave them this allowance that if under such adverse circumstances there was any trouble, he would not accuse them of breach of the pledge for the safety of Benjamin.
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate meaning in Urdu
پھر اس نے کہا "میرے بچو، مصر کے دارالسطنت میں ایک دروازے سے داخل نہ ہونا بلکہ مختلف دروازوں سے جانا مگر میں اللہ کی مشیت سے تم کو نہیں بچا سکتا، حکم اُس کے سوا کسی کا بھی نہیں چلتا، اسی پر میں نے بھروسہ کیا، اور جس کو بھی بھروسہ کرنا ہو اسی پر کرے"
