And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allah). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient)."
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."

Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
"Allah has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
What aileth you ? How judge ye ?
What is the matter with you? How do you decide?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
Will ye not then reflect ?
Will you not then remember?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Or have ye a clear warrant ?
Or is there for you a plain authority?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
Then bring your Book if you are truthful!
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Save him who is to burn in hell.
Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And indeed they used to say:
And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allah),
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.
"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
But (now that the Qur'an has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur'an and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
That they verily would be helped,
That they verily would be made triumphant,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Would they hasten on Our doom ?
Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
Withdraw from them awhile
So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
And watch and they shall see (the torment)!
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
And peace be on the Messengers!
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
