Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona

But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.

Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena

Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.

So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.

So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona

Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;

WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!

Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona

And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.

And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
And surely they used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
Wain kanoo layaqooloona
And there were those who said,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.

Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
That they would certainly be assisted,
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena
