And what will make you know (exactly) what Hell-fire is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
Nay; I swear by the moon,
Nay! And by the moon
Keineswegs! Beim Mond

And the night when it departs,
And by the night when it withdraws.
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
And the night when it withdraweth
And the daybreak when it shines;
And by the dawn when it brightens.
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs).
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
A warning to mortals,

außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
Save those who will stand on the right hand.

And we used not to feed the poor;
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,

And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
Till death overtook us.
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
As if they were asses taking fright
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As they were frightened asses
That had fled from a lion?
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.

Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has come with the truth from Allah, the Lord of the heavens and earth).
Aber nein! Jedermann von ihnen will, daß ihm aufgeschlagene Blätter zukommen.
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).

So whoever pleases may mind it.
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
So whosoever will may heed.
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
