By the Scripture which maketh plain,
Bei dem deutlichen Buch!
I swear by the Book that makes things clear:
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may understand.
Wir haben es ja zu einem arabischen Qur'an gemacht, auf daß ihr begreifen möget;
Surely We have made it an Arabic Quran that you may understand.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed sublime, decisive.
und gewiß, er ist in der Urschrift des Buches bei Uns wahrlich erhaben und weise.
And surely it is in the original of the Book with Us, truly elevated, full of wisdom.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ
Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk ?
Sollen Wir denn euch bei der Ermahnung unbeachtet lassen, weil ihr maßlose Leute seid?
What! shall We then turn away the reminder from you altogether because you are an extravagant people?
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ
How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
Und wie viele Propheten haben Wir zu den früheren Geschlechtern gesandt!
And how many a prophet have We sent among the ancients.
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
Und kein Gesandter kam zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hätten.
And there came not to them a prophet but they mocked at him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
So haben Wir solche vernichtet, die eine stärkere Gewalt hatten als diese. Und vollzogen hat sich das Beispiel an den Früheren.
Then We destroyed those who were stronger than these in prowess, and the case of the ancients has gone before,
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Erschaffen hat sie der Allmächtige und Allwissende,"
And if you should ask them, Who created the heavens and the earth? they would most certainly say: The Mighty, the Knowing One, has created them;
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way;
Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und euch auf ihr Wege gemacht hat, auf daß ihr rechtgeleitet werden möget,
He Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and made in it ways for you that you may go aright;
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
und Der Wasser vom Himmel in (bestimmtem) Maß herabkommen läßt. Damit lassen Wir (manch) totes Land auferstehen. So werdet auch ihr hervorgebracht werden -,
And He Who sends down water from the cloud according to a measure, then We raise to life thereby a dead country, even thus shall you be brought forth;
وَٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ
He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.
und Der die Paare alle erschaffen und euch an Schiffen und Vieh gemacht hat, was ihr besteigen könnt,
And He Who created pairs of all things, and made for you of the ships and the cattle what you ride on,
وَٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ
That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
damit ihr euch auf ihren Rücken zurechtsetzt und hierauf der Gunst eures Herrn gedenkt, wenn ihr euch darauf zurechtgesetzt habt, und sagt: "Preis sei demjenigen, Der uns dies dienstbar gemacht hat! Wir wären hierzu ja nicht imstande gewesen.
That you may firmly sit on their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you are firmly seated thereon, and say: Glory be to Him Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it
لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ
And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
Und wir werden ganz gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren."
And surely to our Lord we must return.
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate.
Und sie stellen Ihm einen Teil von Seinen Dienern (als Seinesgleichen zur Seite). Der Mensch ist ja offenkundig sehr undankbar.
And they assign to Him a part of His servants; man, to be sure, is clearly ungrateful.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ
Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth He you with sons ?
Oder hat Er sich etwa unter Seinen Geschöpfen Töchter genommen und für euch die Söhne erwählt?
What! has He taken daughters to Himself of what He Himself creates and chosen you to have sons?
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ
And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.
Wenn einem von ihnen die frohe Botschaft (von der Geburt) dessen verkündet wird, was er dem Allerbarmer zum Gleichnis zuschreibt, bleibt sein Gesicht finster, und er hält (seinen Grimm) zurück.
And when one of them is given news of that of which he sets up as a likeness for the Beneficent Allah, his face becomes black and he is full of rage.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
(Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain ?
(Wollen sie Allah) denn jemanden (zuschreiben), der im Schmuck aufgezogen wird und im Streit nicht deutlich wird?
What! that which is made in ornaments and which in contention is unable to make plain speech!
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation ? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.
Und sie machen die Engel, die sie ja Diener des Allerbarmers sind, zu weiblichen Wesen. Waren sie denn Zeugen ihrer Erschaffung? Ihr Zeugnis wird aufgeschrieben, und sie werden befragt werden.
And they make the angels - - them who are the servants of the Beneficent Allah - - female (divinities). What! did they witness their creation? Their evidence shall be written down and they shall be questioned.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًا أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ
And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn der Allerbarmer gewollt hätte, hätten wir ihnen nicht gedient." Sie haben kein Wissen davon; sie stellen nur Schätzungen an.
And they say: If the Beneficent Allah had pleased, we should never have worshipped them. They have no knowledge of this; they only lie.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they are holding fast thereto ?
Oder haben Wir ihnen etwa vor ihm eine Schrift gegeben, an der sie sich festhalten könnten?
Or have We given them a book before it so that they hold fast to it?
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ
Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.
Nein! Vielmehr sagen sie: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer (bestimmten) Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren sind wir rechtgeleitet."
Nay! they say: We found our fathers on a course, and surely we are guided by their footsteps.
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ
And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
So haben Wir (auch) vor dir in eine Stadt keinen Warner gesandt, ohne daß diejenigen, die in ihr üppig lebten, gesagt hätten: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer bestimmten Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren folgen wir ihrem Vorbild."
And thus, We did not send before you any warner in a town, but those who led easy lives in it said: Surely we found our fathers on a course, and surely we are followers of their footsteps.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
(And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following ? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.
Er sagte: "Etwa auch, wenn ich euch bringe, was eine bessere Rechtleitung enthält als das, worin ihr eure Väter vorgefunden habt?" Sie sagten: "Wir verleugnen ja das, womit ihr gesandt worden seid."
(The warner) said: What! even if I bring to you a better guide than that on which you found your fathers? They said: Surely we are unbelievers in that with which you are sent.
قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!
Da übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. So schau, wie das Ende der Leugner war.
So We inflicted retribution on them, then see how was the end of the rejecters.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent of what ye worship
Und als Ibrahim zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Gewiß, ich sage mich los von dem, dem ihr dient,
And when Ibrahim said to his father and his people: Surely I am clear of what you worship,
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.
außer Demjenigen, Der mich erschaffen hat; denn Er wird mich gewiß rechtleiten."
Save Him Who created me, for surely He will guide me.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ
And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might return.
Und er machte es zu einem bleibenden Wort unter seinen Nachkommen, auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
And he made it a word to continue in his posterity that they may return.
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
Aber nein! Ich habe diese da und ihre Väter genießen lassen, bis die Wahrheit und ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen gekommen ist.
Nay! I gave them and their fathers to enjoy until there came to them the truth and an Apostle making manifest (the truth).
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
Als nun die Wahrheit zu ihnen gekommen ist, sagen sie: "Das ist Zauberei, und wir verleugnen ihn."
And when there came to them the truth they said: This is magic, and surely we are disbelievers in it.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns ?
Und sie sagen: "Wäre doch dieser Qur'an einem bedeutenden Mann aus den beiden Städten offenbart worden!"
And they say: Why was not this Quran revealed to a man of importance in the two towns?
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ
Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy ? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
Verteilen etwa sie die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn? Wir verteilen doch unter ihnen ihren Lebensunterhalt im diesseitigen Leben und erhöhen die einen von ihnen über die anderen um Rangstufen, damit die einen von ihnen die anderen in Dienst nehmen. Aber die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn ist besser als das, was sie zusammentragen.
Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ
And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,
Und damit die Menschen nicht eine einzige Gemeinschaft werden (, sahen Wir davon ab, sonst), hätten Wir wahrlich denjenigen, die den Allerbarmer verleugnen, für ihre Häuser Decken aus Silber gemacht und (auch) Treppen, auf denen sie hätten hochsteigen können,
And were it not that all people had been a single nation, We would certainly have assigned to those who disbelieve in the Beneficent Allah (to make) of silver the roofs of their houses and the stairs by which they ascend.
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ
And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,
und Türen für ihre Häuser, und Liegen, auf denen sie sich lehnen können,
And the doors of their houses and the couches on which they recline,
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.
und (weitere) Zierde. All das ist aber nur Nießbrauch des diesseitigen Lebens. Das Jenseits bei deinem Herrn ist jedoch für die Gottesfürchtigen (bestimmt).
And (other) embellishments of gold; and all this is naught but provision of this world's life, and the hereafter is with your Lord only for those who guard (against evil).
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
Wer für die Ermahnung des Allerbarmers blind ist, dem verschaffen Wir einen Satan, der ihm dann zum Gesellen wird.
And whoever turns himself away from the remembrance of the Beneficent Allah, We appoint for him a Shaitan, so he becomes his associate.
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ
And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided;
Und sie halten sie wahrlich vom Weg ab, und diese meinen, sie seien rechtgeleitet.
And most surely they turn them away from the path, and they think that they are guided aright:
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!
Wenn er dann (schließlich) zu Uns kommt, sagt er: "O wäre doch zwischen mir und dir eine Entfernung wie zwischen Osten und Westen !" - ein schlimmer Geselle!
Until when he comes to Us, he says: O would that between me and you there were the distance of the East and the West; so evil is the associate!
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ
And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom.
Heute wird euch, da ihr Unrecht getan habt, nicht nützen, daß ihr an demselben) Strafe teilhabt.
And since you were unjust, it will not profit you this day that you are sharers in the chastisement.
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest ?
Bist du es etwa, der die Tauben hören läßt oder die Blinden und diejenigen recht leitet, die sich in deutlichem Irrtum befinden?
What! can you then make the deaf to hear or guide the blind and him who is in clear error?
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,
Sollten Wir dich (vorher) fortnehmen, so werden Wir (doch) an ihnen Vergeltung üben.
But if We should take you away, still We shall inflict retribution on them;
فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ
Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them.
Oder Wir zeigen dir, was Wir ihnen angedroht haben; so haben Wir ja ganz die Macht über sie.
Rather We will certainly show you that which We have promised them; for surely We are the possessors of full power over them.
أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ
So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path.
Halte also fest an dem, was dir (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden ist; gewiß, du befindest dich auf einem geraden Weg.
Therefore hold fast to that which has been revealed to you; surely you are on the right path.
فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned.
Das ist wahrlich eine Ermahnung für dich und dein Volk. Und ihr werdet befragt werden.
And most surely it is a reminder for you and your people, and you shall soon be questioned.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ
And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent ?
Und frage wen von Unseren Gesandten Wir vor dir gesandt haben, ob Wir anstatt des Allerbarmers (andere) Götter eingesetzt haben, denen man dienen soll.
And ask those of Our apostles whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah?
وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ
And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
Und Wir sandten bereits Musa mit Unseren Zeichen zu Fir'aun und seiner führenden Schar. Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin der Gesandte des Herrn der Weltenbewohner."
And certainly We sent Musa with Our communications to Firon and his chiefs, so he said: Surely I am the apostle of the Lord of the worlds.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.
Als er nun zu ihnen mit Unseren Zeichen kam, lachten sie sogleich über sie.
But when he came to them with Our signs, lo! they laughed at them.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ
And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.
Und Wir zeigten ihnen kein Zeichen, das nicht größer gewesen wäre als das vorhergehende. Und Wir ergriffen sie mit der Strafe, auf daß sie umkehren mochten.
And We did not show them a sign but it was greater than its like, and We overtook them with chastisement that they may turn.
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
Und sie sagten: "O du Zauberer, rufe für uns deinen Herrn an auf Grund dessen, was Er dir anvertraut hat, dann werden wir uns wahrlich rechtleiten lassen."
And they said: O magician! call on your Lord for our sake, as He has made the covenant with you; we shall surely be the followers of the right way.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word.
Als Wir dann die Strafe von ihnen hinwegnahmen, da brachen sie sogleich ihr Wort.
But when We removed from them the chastisement, lo! they broke the pledge.
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ
And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me ? Can ye not then discern ?
Und Fir'aun ließ unter seinem Volk ausrufen; er sagte: "O mein Volk, gehört mir nicht die Herrschaft über Ägypten und (auch) diese Flüsse, die unter mir strömen? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?
And Firon proclaimed amongst his people: O my people! is not the kingdom of Egypt mine? And these rivers flow beneath me; do you not then see?
وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى قَوْمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِى مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِىٓ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain!
Oder bin ich nicht besser als dieser, der verächtlich ist und sich kaum deutlich äußern kann?
Nay! I am better than this fellow, who is contemptible, and who can hardly speak distinctly:
أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him ?
Würden doch Armringe aus Gold auf ihn herabgeworfen oder die Engel mit ihm als Begleitung kommen!"
But why have not bracelets of gold been put upon him, or why have there not come with him angels as companions?
فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ
