Quran 12:11 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
They said ‘O father what is wrong with you that you do not trust us with Joseph? We are indeed his well-wishers we are indeed only looking out for his best interests.
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And so, they asked their father: Our father, why do you not trust us for the care of Yusuf! Our first wish in life is for his happiness and welfare
Quran 12:11 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
Yusuf's Brothers ask for Their Father's Permission to take Yusuf with Them
When Yusuf's brothers agreed to take him and throw him down the well, taking the advice of their elder brother Rubil, they went to their father Ya`qub, peace be upon him.
They said to him, "Why is it that you,
لاَ تَأْمَنَّا عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَنَـصِحُونَ
( do not trust us with Yusuf though we are indeed his well-wishers )." They started executing their plan by this introductory statement, even though they really intended its opposite, out of envy towards Yusuf for being loved by his father.
They said,
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا
"( Send him with us ) tomorrow so that we all enjoy ourselves and play." Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi said similarly.
Yusuf's brothers said next,
وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَـفِظُونَ
( and verily, we will take care of him. ), we will protect him and ensure his safety for you.

Then they went to their father, ( They said ) to their father: ( O our father! Why wilt thou not trust us with Joseph, when lo! we are good friends to him ) we will protect him?
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
They said: "O our father! Why do you not trust us with Yusuf (Joseph), - when we are indeed his well-wishers?"
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
