He said: This is my staff: I recline on it and I beat the leaves with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have other uses for it.

als Wir deiner Mutter eingaben, was (als Weisung) eingegeben werden sollte:
When We inspired to your mother what We inspired,
إِذْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ مَا يُوحَىٰٓ
Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into the river, then the river shall throw him on the shore; there shall take him up one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him, and I cast down upon you love from Me, and that you might be brought up before My eyes;
,Wirf ihn in den Kasten und wirf ihn ins Wasser', und das Wasser soll ihn ans Ufer setzen, so daß ihn ein Feind von Mir und ein Feind von ihm aufnimmt. Und Ich habe auf dich Liebe von Mir gelegt - und damit du vor Meinem Auge aufgezogen würdest.
[Saying], 'Cast him into the chest and cast it into the river, and the river will throw it onto the bank; there will take him an enemy to Me and an enemy to him.' And I bestowed upon you love from Me that you would be brought up under My eye.
أَنِ ٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلتَّابُوتِ فَٱقْذِفِيهِ فِى ٱلْيَمِّ فَلْيُلْقِهِ ٱلْيَمُّ بِٱلسَّاحِلِ يَأْخُذْهُ عَدُوٌّ لِّى وَعَدُوٌّ لَّهُۥ وَأَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِّنِّى وَلِتُصْنَعَ عَلَىٰ عَيْنِىٓ
When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him? So We brought you back to your mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve and you killed a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We tried you with (a severe) trying. Then you stayed for years among the people of Madyan; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa.
Als deine Schwester hinging und sagte: .Soll ich euch auf jemanden hinweisen, der ihn betreuen würde? So gaben Wir dich deiner Mutter wieder, damit sie frohen Mutes und nicht traurig sei. Und du tötetest eine Seele, und da erretteten Wir dich aus dem Kummer, und Wir unterzogen dich einer harten Prüfung. So verweiltest du jahrelang unter den Leuten von Madyan. Hierauf kamst du zu einer vorausbe stimmten Zeit, o Musa.
[And We favored you] when your sister went and said, 'Shall I direct you to someone who will be responsible for him?' So We restored you to your mother that she might be content and not grieve.

Then you came [here] at the decreed time, O Moses.
إِذْ تَمْشِىٓ أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَىٰ مَن يَكْفُلُهُۥ فَرَجَعْنَٰكَ إِلَىٰٓ أُمِّكَ كَىْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُهَا وَلَا تَحْزَنَ وَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا فَنَجَّيْنَٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ وَفَتَنَّٰكَ فُتُونً
And I have chosen you for Myself:
Und Ich habe dich für Mich auserwählt.
And I produced you for Myself.
وَٱصْطَنَعْتُكَ لِنَفْسِى

ٱذْهَبْ أَنتَ وَأَخُوكَ بِـَٔايَٰتِى وَلَا تَنِيَا فِى ذِكْرِى
Go both to Firon, surely he has become inordinate;
Geht zu Fir'aun, denn er lehnt sich auf.
Go, both of you, to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Then speak to him a gentle word haply he may mind or fear.
Und so redet mit ihm in sanften Worten, auf daß er bedenken oder sich fürchten möge."
And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."
فَقُولَا لَهُۥ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُۥ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ
Both said: O our Lord! Surely we fear that he may hasten to do evil to us or that he may become inordinate.
Sie sagten: "Unser Herr, gewiß, wir fürchten, daß er übereilig gegen uns vorgeht oder daß er das Maß überschreitet."
They said, "Our Lord, indeed we are afraid that he will hasten [punishment] against us or that he will transgress."
قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ
He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both: I do hear and see.
Er sagte: "Fürchtet euch nicht. Ich bin gewiß mit euch, Ich höre und Ich sehe (, was geschieht).
[Allah] said, "Fear not. Indeed, I am with you both; I hear and I see.
قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ
So go you both to him and say: Surely we are two apostles of your Lord; therefore send the children of Israel with us and do not torment them! Indeed we have brought to you a communication from your Lord, and peace is on him who follows the guidance;
So kommt denn zu ihm und sagt: ,Wir beide sind Gesandte deines Herrn. Lasse die Kinder Isra'ils mit uns gehen, und strafe sie nicht. Wir sind ja mit einem Zeichen von deinem Herrn zu dir gekommen. Und Friede sei auf demjenigen, der der Rechtleitung folgt.
So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.
فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولَآ إِنَّا رَسُولَا رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَا تُعَذِّبْهُمْ قَدْ جِئْنَٰكَ بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَٱلسَّلَٰمُ عَلَىٰ مَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
Surely it has been revealed to us that the chastisement will surely come upon him who rejects and turns back.
Uns ist ja (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden, daß die Strafe denjenigen überkommt, der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt'."
Indeed, it has been revealed to us that the punishment will be upon whoever denies and turns away.' "
إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ ٱلْعَذَابَ عَلَىٰ مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
(Firon) said: And who is your Lord, O Musa?
Er sagte: "Wer ist denn euer beider Herr, o Musa?"
[Pharaoh] said, "So who is the Lord of you two, O Moses?"
قَالَ فَمَن رَّبُّكُمَا يَٰمُوسَىٰ
He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation, then guided it (to its goal).
Er sagte: "Unser Herr ist derjenige, der allem seine Natur gegeben und (es) hierauf rechtgeleitet hat."
He said, "Our Lord is He who gave each thing its form and then guided [it]."
قَالَ رَبُّنَا ٱلَّذِىٓ أَعْطَىٰ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ خَلْقَهُۥ ثُمَّ هَدَىٰ
He said: Then what is the state of the former generations?
Er sagte: "Wie steht es denn mit den früheren Geschlechtern?"
[Pharaoh] said, "Then what is the case of the former generations?"
قَالَ فَمَا بَالُ ٱلْقُرُونِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, my Lord errs not, nor does He forget;
Er sagte: "Das Wissen um sie ist bei meinem Herrn in .einem Buch. Mein Herr im nicht, noch vergißt Er."
[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets."
قَالَ عِلْمُهَا عِندَ رَبِّى فِى كِتَٰبٍ لَّا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى وَلَا يَنسَى
Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for you therein paths and sent down water from the cloud; then thereby We have brought forth many species of various herbs.
(Er ist es,) Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und für euch auf ihr Wege sich hinziehen und vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt, womit Wir dann Arten verschiedener Gewächse hervorbringen.
[It is He] who has made for you the earth as a bed [spread out] and inserted therein for you roadways and sent down from the sky, rain and produced thereby categories of various plants.
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّن نَّبَاتٍ شَتَّىٰ
Eat and pasture your cattle; most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
Eßt und weidet euer Vieh. Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Eat [therefrom] and pasture your livestock. Indeed, in that are signs for those of intelligence.
كُلُوا۟ وَٱرْعَوْا۟ أَنْعَٰمَكُمْ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ
From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.
Aus ihr haben Wir euch erschaffen, und in sie bringen Wir euch zurück, und aus ihr bringen Wir euch ein anderes Mal hervor.
From the earth We created you, and into it We will return you, and from it We will extract you another time.
مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَىٰ
And truly We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he rejected and refused.
Und Wir zeigten ihm ja Unsere Zeichen alle, aber er erklärte (sie) für Lüge und weigerte sich.
And We certainly showed Pharaoh Our signs - all of them - but he denied and refused.
وَلَقَدْ أَرَيْنَٰهُ ءَايَٰتِنَا كُلَّهَا فَكَذَّبَ وَأَبَىٰ
Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa?
Er sagte: "Bist du zu uns gekommen, um uns aus unserem Land mit deiner Zauberei zu vertreiben, o Musa?
He said, "Have you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
قَالَ أَجِئْتَنَا لِتُخْرِجَنَا مِنْ أَرْضِنَا بِسِحْرِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.
Aber wir werden dir ganz gewiß Zauberei gleicher Art bringen. So setze zwischen uns und dir eine Verabredung(szeit) fest, die weder wir noch du verfehlen werden, an einem Ort, der (uns allen) gleichermaßen recht ist."
Then we will surely bring you magic like it, so make between us and you an appointment, which we will not fail to keep and neither will you, in a place assigned."
فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّكَ بِسِحْرٍ مِّثْلِهِۦ فَٱجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّا نُخْلِفُهُۥ نَحْنُ وَلَآ أَنتَ مَكَانًا سُوًى
(Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.
Er sagte: "Eure Verabredung(szeit) soll der Tag des Schmuckfestes sein, und die Menschen sollen am hellen Morgen versammelt werden."
[Moses] said, "Your appointment is on the day of the festival when the people assemble at mid - morning."
قَالَ مَوْعِدُكُمْ يَوْمُ ٱلزِّينَةِ وَأَن يُحْشَرَ ٱلنَّاسُ ضُحًى
So Firon turned his back and settled his plan, then came.
Und so kehrte sich Fir'aun ab, und dann nahm er seine ganze List zusammen. Hierauf kam er.
So Pharaoh went away, put together his plan, and then came [to Moses].
فَتَوَلَّىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فَجَمَعَ كَيْدَهُۥ ثُمَّ أَتَىٰ
Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).
Musa sagte zu ihnen: "Wehe euch! Ersinnt gegen Allah keine Lüge, sonst vertilgt Er euch durch eine Strafe. Enttäuscht wird ja, wer Lügen ersinnt."
Moses said to the magicians summoned by Pharaoh, "Woe to you! Do not invent a lie against Allah or He will exterminate you with a punishment; and he has failed who invents [such falsehood]."
قَالَ لَهُم مُّوسَىٰ وَيْلَكُمْ لَا تَفْتَرُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا فَيُسْحِتَكُم بِعَذَابٍ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ
So they disputed with one another about their affair and kept the discourse secret.
Da stritten sie untereinander über ihre Angelegenheit und führten insgeheim vertrauliche Gespräche.
So they disputed over their affair among themselves and concealed their private conversation.
فَتَنَٰزَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُم بَيْنَهُمْ وَأَسَرُّوا۟ ٱلنَّجْوَىٰ
They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish to turn you out from your land by their magic and to take away your best traditions.
Sie sagten: "Diese beiden sind wahrlich nur Zauberer, die euch aus eurem Land mit ihrem Zauber vertreiben und eure vorbildliche Lebensweise beseitigen wollen.
They said, "Indeed, these are two magicians who want to drive you out of your land with their magic and do away with your most exemplary way.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَٰنِ لَسَٰحِرَٰنِ يُرِيدَانِ أَن يُخْرِجَاكُم مِّنْ أَرْضِكُم بِسِحْرِهِمَا وَيَذْهَبَا بِطَرِيقَتِكُمُ ٱلْمُثْلَىٰ
Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks and he will prosper indeed this day who overcomes.
So einigt euch auf eure List, hierauf kommt in Reihen. Und wohl ergehen wird es ja heute demjenigen, der die Oberhand gewinnt."
So resolve upon your plan and then come [forward] in line. And he has succeeded today who overcomes."
فَأَجْمِعُوا۟ كَيْدَكُمْ ثُمَّ ٱئْتُوا۟ صَفًّا وَقَدْ أَفْلَحَ ٱلْيَوْمَ مَنِ ٱسْتَعْلَىٰ
They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first who cast down?
Sie sagten: "O Musa, entweder wirfst du, oder wir werden es sein, die zuerst werfen."
They said, "O Moses, either you throw or we will be the first to throw."
قَالُوا۟ يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِمَّآ أَن تُلْقِىَ وَإِمَّآ أَن نَّكُونَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَلْقَىٰ
He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods - - it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running.
Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr werft ihr (zuerst)." Und sogleich kamen ihm ihre Stricke und Stöcke durch ihre Zauberei so vor, als ob sie sich rasch bewegten.
He said, "Rather, you throw." And suddenly their ropes and staffs seemed to him from their magic that they were moving [like snakes].
قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا۟ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ
So Musa conceived in his mind a fear.
Und er, Musa, empfand Furcht in seiner Seele.
And he sensed within himself apprehension, did Moses.
فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ خِيفَةً مُّوسَىٰ
We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost,
Wir sagten: "Fürchte dich nicht; du, ja gewiß du, wirst die Oberhand gewinnen.
Allah said, "Fear not. Indeed, it is you who are superior.
قُلْنَا لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devour what they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of a magician, and the magician shall not be wheresoever he may come from.
Wirf hin, was in deiner Rechten ist, so verschlingt es das, was sie gemacht haben. Was sie gemacht haben, ist nur die List eines Zauberers, und dem Zauberer wird es nicht wohl ergehen, wohin er auch kommen mag ."
And throw what is in your right hand; it will swallow up what they have crafted. What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."
وَأَلْقِ مَا فِى يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ مَا صَنَعُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا۟ كَيْدُ سَٰحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلسَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ
And the magicians were cast down making obeisance; they said: We believe in the Lord of Haroun and Musa.
Da warfen sich die Zauberer ehrerbietig nieder. Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn Haruns und Musas."
So the magicians fell down in prostration. They said, "We have believed in the Lord of Aaron and Moses."
فَأُلْقِىَ ٱلسَّحَرَةُ سُجَّدًا قَالُوٓا۟ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّ هَٰرُونَ وَمُوسَىٰ
(Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment, therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of us is the more severe and the more abiding in chastising.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Ihr glaubt an ihn, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Er ist wahrlich euer Ältester, der euch die Zauberei gelehrt hat. So werde ich ganz gewiß eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch ganz gewiß an Palmstämmen kreuzigen (lassen). Und ihr werdet ganz gewiß erfahren, wer von uns strenger im Strafen und beständiger ist."
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed him before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and you will surely know which of us is more severe in [giving] punishment and more enduring."
قَالَ ءَامَنتُمْ لَهُۥ قَبْلَ أَنْ ءَاذَنَ لَكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ لَكَبِيرُكُمُ ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَكُمُ ٱلسِّحْرَ فَلَأُقَطِّعَنَّ أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَأَرْجُلَكُم مِّنْ خِلَٰفٍ وَلَأُصَلِّبَنَّكُمْ فِى جُذُوعِ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَلَتَعْل
They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden dich nicht dem vorziehen, was an klaren Beweisen zu uns gekommen ist, und (vor) Demjenigen, Der uns erschaffen hat. So entscheide, was du entscheiden magst; du entscheidest nur über dieses irdische Leben.
They said, "Never will we prefer you over what has come to us of clear proofs and [over] He who created us. So decree whatever you are to decree. You can only decree for this worldly life.
قَالُوا۟ لَن نُّؤْثِرَكَ عَلَىٰ مَا جَآءَنَا مِنَ ٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنَا فَٱقْضِ مَآ أَنتَ قَاضٍ إِنَّمَا تَقْضِى هَٰذِهِ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَآ
Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us; and Allah is better and more abiding.
Wir glauben an unseren Herrn, damit Er uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe und (auch) die Zauberei, zu der du uns gezwungen hast. Allah ist besser und be ständiger."
Indeed, we have believed in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and what you compelled us [to do] of magic. And Allah is better and more enduring."
إِنَّآ ءَامَنَّا بِرَبِّنَا لِيَغْفِرَ لَنَا خَطَٰيَٰنَا وَمَآ أَكْرَهْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلسِّحْرِ وَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live.
Gewiß, wer zu seinem Herrn als Übeltäter kommt, für den gibt es die Hölle; darin wird er weder sterben noch leben.
Indeed, whoever comes to his Lord as a criminal - indeed, for him is Hell; he will neither die therein nor live.
إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَأْتِ رَبَّهُۥ مُجْرِمًا فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ جَهَنَّمَ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,
Wer zu Ihm als Gläubiger kommt, der rechtschaffene Werke getan hat, für jene gibt es die höchsten Rangstufen,
But whoever comes to Him as a believer having done righteous deeds - for those will be the highest degrees [in position]:
وَمَن يَأْتِهِۦ مُؤْمِنًا قَدْ عَمِلَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱلدَّرَجَٰتُ ٱلْعُلَىٰ
The gardens of perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein; and this is the reward of him who has purified himself.
die Gärten Edens, durcheilt von Bächen; ewig darin zu bleiben. Das ist der Lohn desjenigen, der sich läutert.
Gardens of perpetual residence beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. And that is the reward of one who purifies himself.
جَنَّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَذَٰلِكَ جَزَآءُ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.
Und Wir gaben Musa ja (als Offenbarung) ein: "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort und schlage ihnen einen trockenen Weg durch das Meer; du befürch test weder, eingeholt zu werden, noch hast du Angst'."
And We had inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants and strike for them a dry path through the sea; you will not fear being overtaken [by Pharaoh] nor be afraid [of drowning]."
وَلَقَدْ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ أَنْ أَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى فَٱضْرِبْ لَهُمْ طَرِيقًا فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ يَبَسًا لَّا تَخَٰفُ دَرَكًا وَلَا تَخْشَىٰ
And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came upon them of the sea that which came upon them.
Da verfolgte sie Fir'aun mit seinen Heerscharen, und es überdeckte sie vom Meer, was sie überdeckte.
So Pharaoh pursued them with his soldiers, and there covered them from the sea that which covered them,
فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ فِرْعَوْنُ بِجُنُودِهِۦ فَغَشِيَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْيَمِّ مَا غَشِيَهُمْ
And Firon led astray his people and he did not guide (them) aright.
Fir'aun hatte sein Volk in die Irre geführt und nicht rechtgeleitet.
And Pharaoh led his people astray and did not guide [them].
وَأَضَلَّ فِرْعَوْنُ قَوْمَهُۥ وَمَا هَدَىٰ
O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of the mountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails.
O Kinder Isra'ils, Wir retteten euch ja vor eurem Feind, verabredeten Uns mit euch auf der rechten Seite des Berges und sandten das Manna und die Wachteln auf euch hinab:
O Children of Israel, We delivered you from your enemy, and We made an appointment with you at the right side of the mount, and We sent down to you manna and quails,
يَٰبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ قَدْ أَنجَيْنَٰكُم مِّنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَوَٰعَدْنَٰكُمْ جَانِبَ ٱلطُّورِ ٱلْأَيْمَنَ وَنَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ
Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed.
"Eßt von den guten Dingen, mit denen Wir euch versorgt haben, und lehnt euch dabei nicht (durch Undankbarkeit) auf, sonst bricht Mein Zorn über euch herein; denn derjenige, über den Mein Zorn hereinbricht, wird sicherlich stürzen.
[Saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you and do not transgress [or oppress others] therein, lest My anger should descend upon you. And he upon whom My anger descends has certainly fallen."
كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَٰتِ مَا رَزَقْنَٰكُمْ وَلَا تَطْغَوْا۟ فِيهِ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبِى وَمَن يَحْلِلْ عَلَيْهِ غَضَبِى فَقَدْ هَوَىٰ
And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does good, then continues to follow the right direction.
Und Ich bin wahrlich Allvergebend für denjenigen, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt und sich hierauf rechtleiten läßt."
But indeed, I am the Perpetual Forgiver of whoever repents and believes and does righteousness and then continues in guidance.
وَإِنِّى لَغَفَّارٌ لِّمَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا ثُمَّ ٱهْتَدَىٰ
And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa?
Und was hat dich veranlaßt, von deinem Volk fortzueilen, o Musa?
[Allah] said, "And what made you hasten from your people, O Moses?"
وَمَآ أَعْجَلَكَ عَن قَوْمِكَ يَٰمُوسَىٰ
He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.
Er sagte: "Sie folgen mir doch auf der Spur. Und ich bin zu Dir geeilt, mein Herr, damit Du (mit mir) zufrieden seiest."
He said, "They are close upon my tracks, and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased."
قَالَ هُمْ أُو۟لَآءِ عَلَىٰٓ أَثَرِى وَعَجِلْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَىٰ
He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray.
Er sagte: "Wir haben dein Volk der Versuchung ausgesetzt, nachdem du (weggegangen) warst, und der Samiri hat sie in die Irre geführt."
[Allah] said, "But indeed, We have tried your people after you [departed], and the Samiri has led them astray."
قَالَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ فَتَنَّا قَوْمَكَ مِنۢ بَعْدِكَ وَأَضَلَّهُمُ ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ
So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?
Da kam Musa zu seinem Volk zornig und bekümmert zurück. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, hat euch euer Herr nicht ein schönes Versprechen gegeben? Dauerte es euch mit dem Bund zu lange, oder wolltet ihr, daß Zorn von eurem Herrn über euch hereinbricht, so daß ihr die Vereinbarung mit mir gebrochen habt?"
So Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved. He said, "O my people, did your Lord not make you a good promise? Then, was the time [of its fulfillment] too long for you, or did you wish that wrath from your Lord descend upon you, so you broke your promise [of obedience] to me?"
فَرَجَعَ مُوسَىٰٓ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦ غَضْبَٰنَ أَسِفًا قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَمْ يَعِدْكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا أَفَطَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْعَهْدُ أَمْ أَرَدتُّمْ أَن يَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ف
They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest.
Sie sagten: "Wir haben die Vereinbarung mit dir nicht aus unserem (eigenen) Willen gebrochen, sondern wir trugen (ganze) Lasten von den Schmucksachen des Volkes, und dann haben wir sie geworfen, und ebenso hat der Samiri (welche) hineingelegt.
They said, "We did not break our promise to you by our will, but we were made to carry burdens from the ornaments of the people [of Pharaoh], so we threw them [into the fire], and thus did the Samiri throw."
قَالُوا۟ مَآ أَخْلَفْنَا مَوْعِدَكَ بِمَلْكِنَا وَلَٰكِنَّا حُمِّلْنَآ أَوْزَارًا مِّن زِينَةِ ٱلْقَوْمِ فَقَذَفْنَٰهَا فَكَذَٰلِكَ أَلْقَى ٱلسَّامِرِىُّ
So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which had a mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god of Musa, but he forgot.
So brachte er ihnen ein Kalb hervor als Leib, das blökte. Sie sagten: ,Das ist euer Gott und der Gott Musas, aber er hat (es) vergessen'."
And he extracted for them [the statue of] a calf which had a lowing sound, and they said, "This is your god and the god of Moses, but he forgot."
فَأَخْرَجَ لَهُمْ عِجْلًا جَسَدًا لَّهُۥ خُوَارٌ فَقَالُوا۟ هَٰذَآ إِلَٰهُكُمْ وَإِلَٰهُ مُوسَىٰ فَنَسِىَ
What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them?
Sehen sie denn nicht, daß er ihnen kein Wort erwidert und ihnen weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermag?
Did they not see that it could not return to them any speech and that it did not possess for them any harm or benefit?
أَفَلَا يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَوْلًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُ لَهُمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا
And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order.
Harun hatte ihnen ja bereits zuvor gesagt: "O mein Volk, ihr seid damit nur der Versuchung ausgesetzt worden. Gewiß, euer Herr ist der Allerbarmer; so folgt mir und gehorcht meinem Befehl."
And Aaron had already told them before [the return of Moses], "O my people, you are only being tested by it, and indeed, your Lord is the Most Merciful, so follow me and obey my order."
وَلَقَدْ قَالَ لَهُمْ هَٰرُونُ مِن قَبْلُ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنَّمَا فُتِنتُم بِهِۦ وَإِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ فَٱتَّبِعُونِى وَأَطِيعُوٓا۟ أَمْرِى
They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden nicht davon ablassen, uns seiner Andacht hinzugeben, bis Musa zu uns zurückkehrt."
They said, "We will never cease being devoted to the calf until Moses returns to us."
قَالُوا۟ لَن نَّبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عَٰكِفِينَ حَتَّىٰ يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنَا مُوسَىٰ
(Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
Er (Musa) sagte: "O Harun, was hat dich, als du sie irregehen sahst, davon abgehalten,
[Moses] said, "O Aaron, what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
قَالَ يَٰهَٰرُونُ مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ ضَلُّوٓا۟
So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order?
mir zu folgen? Hast du dich denn meinem Befehl widersetzt? "
From following me? Then have you disobeyed my order?"
أَلَّا تَتَّبِعَنِ أَفَعَصَيْتَ أَمْرِى
He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word.
Er sagte: "O Sohn meiner Mutter, pack mich nicht am Bart und nicht am Kopf. Ich fürchtete, du würdest sagen: ,Du hast unter den Kindern Isra'ils Zwietracht gestiftet und mein Wort nicht beachtet'."
[Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, do not seize [me] by my beard or by my head. Indeed, I feared that you would say, 'You caused division among the Children of Israel, and you did not observe [or await] my word.' "
قَالَ يَبْنَؤُمَّ لَا تَأْخُذْ بِلِحْيَتِى وَلَا بِرَأْسِىٓ إِنِّى خَشِيتُ أَن تَقُولَ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ وَلَمْ تَرْقُبْ قَوْلِى
He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?
Er sagte: "Doch was ist mit dir, o Samiri?"
[Moses] said, "And what is your case, O Samiri?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكَ يَٰسَٰمِرِىُّ
He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me
Er sagte: "Ich gewahrte, was sie nicht gewahrten, und so faßte ich eine Handvoll (Erde) von der Spur des Gesandten und warf sie dann hin (ins Feuer). So habe ich es mir selbst eingeredet."
He said, "I saw what they did not see, so I took a handful [of dust] from the track of the messenger and threw it, and thus did my soul entice me."
قَالَ بَصُرْتُ بِمَا لَمْ يَبْصُرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَقَبَضْتُ قَبْضَةً مِّنْ أَثَرِ ٱلرَّسُولِ فَنَبَذْتُهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ سَوَّلَتْ لِى نَفْسِى
He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.
Er sagte: "Geh weg! Es ist dir im Leben beschieden, zu sagen: .Berührt mich nicht! Und du hast eine Verabredung, die dir nicht gebrochen wird. Und schau auf deinen Gott, dessen Andacht du dich dauernd hingegeben hast. Wir werden ihn ganz gewiß verbrennen, und hierauf werden wir ihn ganz gewiß in das große Gewässer streuen.
[Moses] said, "Then go. And indeed, it is [decreed] for you in [this] life to say, 'No contact.' And indeed, you have an appointment [in the Hereafter] you will not fail to keep. And look at your 'god' to which you remained devoted. We will surely burn it and blow it into the sea with a blast.
قَالَ فَٱذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ أَن تَقُولَ لَا مِسَاسَ وَإِنَّ لَكَ مَوْعِدًا لَّن تُخْلَفَهُۥ وَٱنظُرْ إِلَىٰٓ إِلَٰهِكَ ٱلَّذِى ظَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَاكِفًا لَّنُحَرِّقَنَّهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَنسِفَنَّه
Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge.
Euer Gott ist allein Allah, außer Dem es keinen Gott gibt. Er umfaßt alles mit (Seinem) Wissen."
Your god is only Allah, except for whom there is no deity. He has encompassed all things in knowledge."
إِنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمُ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِى لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عِلْمًا
Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves.
Auf diese Weise erzählen Wir dir (einiges) von den Berichten dessen, was früher geschah. Und Wir haben dir ja von Uns aus eine Ermahnung gegeben.
Thus, [O Muhammad], We relate to you from the news of what has preceded. And We have certainly given you from Us the Qur'an.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ وَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ مِن لَّدُنَّا ذِكْرًا
Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection
Wer sich davon abwendet, der wird am Tag der Auferstehung eine (drückende) Last tragen,
Whoever turns away from it - then indeed, he will bear on the Day of Resurrection a burden,
مَّنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُۥ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وِزْرًا
Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection;
ewig darin zu bleiben. Wie böse wird (dies) für sie am Tag der Auferstehung als Last sein!
[Abiding] eternally therein, and evil it is for them on the Day of Resurrection as a load -
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهِ وَسَآءَ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ حِمْلًا
On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue - eyed, on that day
Am Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und Wir die Übeltäter als Leute mit blauen Augen versammeln.
The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue - eyed.
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ وَنَحْشُرُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ زُرْقًا
They shall consult together secretly: You did tarry but ten (centuries).
Sie flüstern einander zu: "Ihr habt nur zehn (Nächte) verweilt."
They will murmur among themselves, "You remained not but ten [days in the world]."
يَتَخَٰفَتُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا عَشْرًا
We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day.
Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie sagen, wenn der Vorbildlichste von ihnen in seinem Verhalten sagen wird: "Ihr habt nur einen Tag verweilt."
We are most knowing of what they say when the best of them in manner will say, "You remained not but one day."
نَّحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْثَلُهُمْ طَرِيقَةً إِن لَّبِثْتُمْ إِلَّا يَوْمًا
And they ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord will carry them away from the roots.
Sie fragen dich nach den Bergen. Sag: Mein Herr wird sie wie Staub zerstreuen
And they ask you about the mountains, so say, "My Lord will blow them away with a blast.
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْجِبَالِ فَقُلْ يَنسِفُهَا رَبِّى نَسْفًا
Then leave it a plain, smooth level
und sie dann als leere Ebene zurücklassen,
And He will leave the earth a level plain;
فَيَذَرُهَا قَاعًا صَفْصَفًا
You shall not see therein any crookedness or unevenness.
worauf du weder eine Vertiefung noch Erhebung siehst.
You will not see therein a depression or an elevation."
لَّا تَرَىٰ فِيهَا عِوَجًا وَلَآ أَمْتًا
On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is no crookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.
An jenem Tag folgen sie dem Rufer, bei dem es nichts Krummes gibt; die Stimmen senken sich in Demut vor dem Allerbarmer, so daß du nichts hörst außer Flüstern.
That Day, everyone will follow [the call of] the Caller [with] no deviation therefrom, and [all] voices will be stilled before the Most Merciful, so you will not hear except a whisper [of footsteps].
يَوْمَئِذٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ ٱلدَّاعِىَ لَا عِوَجَ لَهُۥ وَخَشَعَتِ ٱلْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا
On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.
An jenem Tag nützt die Fürsprache nicht, außer durch denjenigen, dem es der Allerbarmer erlaubt und mit dessen Worten Er zufrieden ist.
That Day, no intercession will benefit except [that of] one to whom the Most Merciful has given permission and has accepted his word.
يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّا تَنفَعُ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَرَضِىَ لَهُۥ قَوْلًا
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, while they do not comprehend it in knowledge.
Er weiß, was vor ihnen und was hinter ihnen liegt, sie aber umfassen es nicht mit (ihrem) Wissen.
Allah knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, but they do not encompass it in knowledge.
يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِهِۦ عِلْمًا
And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self - subsistent Allah, and he who bears iniquity is indeed a failure.
Demütig werden sich die Gesichter vor dem Lebendigen und Beständigen senken. Und wirklich enttäuscht wird, wer (als Last begangenes) Unrecht trägt.
And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever - Living, the Sustainer of existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice.
وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ ٱلْقَيُّومِ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا
And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shall have no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.
Wer aber etwas an rechtschaffenen Werken tut und dabei gläubig ist, der wird kein Unrecht und keine (Lohn)minderung befürchten.
But he who does of righteous deeds while he is a believer - he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation.
وَمَن يَعْمَلْ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَا يَخَافُ ظُلْمًا وَلَا هَضْمًا
And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.
Und so haben Wir ihn als einen arabischen Qur'an hinabgesandt. Und Wir haben darin verschiedene Androhungen dargelegt, auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen oder er bei ihnen Gedenken (Allahs) hervorrufe.
And thus We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an and have diversified therein the warnings that perhaps they will avoid [sin] or it would cause them remembrance.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَانًا عَرَبِيًّا وَصَرَّفْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلْوَعِيدِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَّقُونَ أَوْ يُحْدِثُ لَهُمْ ذِكْرًا
Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth, and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation is made complete to you and say: O my Lord! increase me in knowledge.
Erhaben ist Allah, der König, der Wahre! Und übereile dich nicht mit dem Qur'an, bevor dir seine Offenbarung vollständig eingegeben worden ist. Und sag: Mein Herr, lasse mich an Wissen zunehmen.
So high [above all] is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth. And, [O Muhammad], do not hasten with [recitation of] the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."
فَتَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِٱلْقُرْءَانِ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يُقْضَىٰٓ إِلَيْكَ وَحْيُهُۥ وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْمًا
And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination.
Und Wir hatten bereits zuvor Adam eine Verpflichtung auferlegt. Aber er vergaß (sie), und Wir fanden bei ihm keine Entschlossenheit.
And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.
وَلَقَدْ عَهِدْنَآ إِلَىٰٓ ءَادَمَ مِن قَبْلُ فَنَسِىَ وَلَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُۥ عَزْمًا
And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam, they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not); he refused.
Und als Wir zu den Engeln sagten: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder." Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis. Er weigerte sich.
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ
So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy;
Da sagten Wir: "O Adam, dieser (da) ist dir und deiner Gattin gewiß ein Feind. Daß er euch beide ja nicht aus dem (Paradies)garten vertreibt! Sonst wirst du unglücklich sein.
So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.
فَقُلْنَا يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ إِنَّ هَٰذَا عَدُوٌّ لَّكَ وَلِزَوْجِكَ فَلَا يُخْرِجَنَّكُمَا مِنَ ٱلْجَنَّةِ فَتَشْقَىٰٓ
Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungry therein nor bare of clothing;
Gewiß, es ist dir gewährt, daß du darin weder hungerst noch nackt bist,
Indeed, it is [promised] for you not to be hungry therein or be unclothed.
إِنَّ لَكَ أَلَّا تَجُوعَ فِيهَا وَلَا تَعْرَىٰ
And that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feel the heat of the sun.
und daß du darin weder dürstest noch Sonnenhitze erleidest."
And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."
وَأَنَّكَ لَا تَظْمَؤُا۟ فِيهَا وَلَا تَضْحَىٰ
But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?
Aber da flüsterte ihm der Satan ein und sagte: "O Adam, soll ich dich auf den Baum der Ewigkeit hinweisen und auf eine Herrschaft, die nicht vergeht?"
Then Satan whispered to him; he said, "O Adam, shall I direct you to the tree of eternity and possession that will not deteriorate?"
فَوَسْوَسَ إِلَيْهِ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ قَالَ يَٰٓـَٔادَمُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكَ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ٱلْخُلْدِ وَمُلْكٍ لَّا يَبْلَىٰ
Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).
So aßen sie beide davon, und da zeigte sich ihnen ihre Blöße offenkundig, und sie begannen, Blätter des (Paradies)gartens auf sich zusammenzuheften. So widersetzte Adam sich seinem Herrn, und da fiel er in Verirrung.
And Adam and his wife ate of it, and their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And Adam disobeyed his Lord and erred.
فَأَكَلَا مِنْهَا فَبَدَتْ لَهُمَا سَوْءَٰتُهُمَا وَطَفِقَا يَخْصِفَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا مِن وَرَقِ ٱلْجَنَّةِ وَعَصَىٰٓ ءَادَمُ رَبَّهُۥ فَغَوَىٰ
Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).
Hierauf erwählte ihn sein Herr, und so wandte Er Sich ihm Reue-Annehmend zu und leitete (ihn) recht.
Then his Lord chose him and turned to him in forgiveness and guided [him].
ثُمَّ ٱجْتَبَٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ فَتَابَ عَلَيْهِ وَهَدَىٰ
He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;
Er sagte: "Geht alle fort von ihm. Einige von euch seien des anderen Feind. Doch wenn dann von Mir Rechtleitung zu euch kommt, dann wird derjenige, der Meiner Rechtleitung folgt, nicht irregehen und nicht unglücklich sein.
[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise - all, [your descendants] being enemies to one another. And if there should come to you guidance from Me - then whoever follows My guidance will neither go astray [in the world] nor suffer [in the Hereafter].
قَالَ ٱهْبِطَا مِنْهَا جَمِيعًۢا بَعْضُكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ فَإِمَّا يَأْتِيَنَّكُم مِّنِّى هُدًى فَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَ هُدَاىَ فَلَا يَضِلُّ وَلَا يَشْقَىٰ
And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be a straitened life, and We will raise him on the day of resurrection, blind.
Wer sich aber von Meiner Ermahnung abwendet, der wird ein beengtes Leben fuhren, und Wir werden ihn am Tag der Auferstehung blind (zu den anderen) versammeln.
And whoever turns away from My remembrance - indeed, he will have a depressed life, and We will gather him on the Day of Resurrection blind."
وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِى فَإِنَّ لَهُۥ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُۥ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ أَعْمَىٰ
He shall say: My Lord! why hast Thou raised me blind and I was a seeing one indeed?
Er wird sagen: "Mein Herr, warum hast Du mich blind (zu den anderen) versammelt, wo ich doch sehen konnte?"
He will say, "My Lord, why have you raised me blind while I was [once] seeing?"
قَالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِىٓ أَعْمَىٰ وَقَدْ كُنتُ بَصِيرًا
He will say: Even so, Our communications came to you but you neglected them; even thus shall you be forsaken this day.
Er sagt: "So sind auch zu dir Unsere Zeichen gekommen, und doch hast du sie vergessen. Ebenso wirst du heute vergessen."
[Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten."
قَالَ كَذَٰلِكَ أَتَتْكَ ءَايَٰتُنَا فَنَسِيتَهَا وَكَذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ تُنسَىٰ
And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and does not believe in the communications of his Lord, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is severer and more
So vergelten Wir demjenigen, der maßlos ist und nicht an die Zeichen seines Herrn glaubt. Die Strafe des Jenseits ist wahrlich strenger und nachhaltiger.
And thus do We recompense he who transgressed and did not believe in the signs of his Lord. And the punishment of the Hereafter is more severe and more enduring.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى مَنْ أَسْرَفَ وَلَمْ يُؤْمِنۢ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ وَلَعَذَابُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ أَشَدُّ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Does it not then direct them aright how many of the generations In whose dwelling - places they go about We destroyed before them? Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
Ist ihnen denn nicht deutlich geworden, wie viele Geschlechter Wir vor ihnen vernichtet haben, in deren Wohnorten sie (nun) umhergehen? Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Then, has it not become clear to them how many generations We destroyed before them as they walk among their dwellings? Indeed in that are signs for those of intelligence.
أَفَلَمْ يَهْدِ لَهُمْ كَمْ أَهْلَكْنَا قَبْلَهُم مِّنَ ٱلْقُرُونِ يَمْشُونَ فِى مَسَٰكِنِهِمْ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلنُّهَىٰ
And had there not been a word (that had) already gone forth from your Lord and an appointed term, it would surely have been made to cleave (to them).
Wenn es nicht ein schon früher ergangenes Wort von deinem Herrn und eine festgesetzte Frist gäbe, wäre (die sofortige Strafe) fürwahr unabwendbar.
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord, punishment would have been an obligation [due immediately], and [if not for] a specified term [decreed].
وَلَوْلَا كَلِمَةٌ سَبَقَتْ مِن رَّبِّكَ لَكَانَ لِزَامًا وَأَجَلٌ مُّسَمًّى
Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord by the praising of Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) and during parts of the day, that you may be well pleased
So ertrage standhaft, was sie sagen, und lobpreise deinen Herrn vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor ihrem Untergang, und zu (verschiedenen) Stunden der Nacht preise (Ihn) und (ebenso) an den Enden des Tages, auf daß du zufrieden sein mögest.
So be patient over what they say and exalt [Allah] with praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before its setting; and during periods of the night [exalt Him] and at the ends of the day, that you may be satisfied.
فَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَمِنْ ءَانَآئِ ٱلَّيْلِ فَسَبِّحْ وَأَطْرَافَ ٱلنَّهَارِ لَعَلَّكَ تَرْضَىٰ
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more abiding.
Und richte nur nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren - den Glanz des diesseitigen Lebens -, um sie darin der Versuchung auszusetzen. Die Versorgung deines Herrn ist besser und beständiger.
And do not extend your eyes toward that by which We have given enjoyment to [some] categories of them, [its being but] the splendor of worldly life by which We test them. And the provision of your Lord is better and more enduring.
وَلَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا لِنَفْتِنَهُمْ فِيهِ وَرِزْقُ رَبِّكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
Und befiehl deinen Angehörigen, das Gebet (zu verrichten), und sei beharrlich darin. Wir fordern keine Versorgung von dir; Wir versorgen dich. Und das (gute) Ende gehört der Gottesfurcht.
And enjoin prayer upon your family [and people] and be steadfast therein. We ask you not for provision; We provide for you, and the [best] outcome is for [those of] righteousness.
وَأْمُرْ أَهْلَكَ بِٱلصَّلَوٰةِ وَٱصْطَبِرْ عَلَيْهَا لَا نَسْـَٔلُكَ رِزْقًا نَّحْنُ نَرْزُقُكَ وَٱلْعَٰقِبَةُ لِلتَّقْوَىٰ
And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is in the previous books?
Und sie sagen: "Wenn er uns doch ein Zeichen von seinem Herrn bringen würde!" Ist nicht zu ihnen der klare Beweis dessen gekommen, was auf den früheren Blättern steht?
And they say, "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has there not come to them evidence of what was in the former scriptures?
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا يَأْتِينَا بِـَٔايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّهِۦٓ أَوَلَمْ تَأْتِهِم بَيِّنَةُ مَا فِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this, they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us an apostle, for then we should have followed Thy communications before that we met disgrace and shame.
Hätten Wir sie vor ihm durch eine Strafe vernichtet, hätten sie fürwahr gesagt: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können, bevor wir erniedrigt und in Schande gestürzt würden!"
And if We had destroyed them with a punishment before him, they would have said, "Our Lord, why did You not send to us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses before we were humiliated and disgraced?"
وَلَوْ أَنَّآ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُم بِعَذَابٍ مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ لَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا لَوْلَآ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولًا فَنَتَّبِعَ ءَايَٰتِكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن نَّذِلَّ وَنَخْزَىٰ
Say: Every one (of us) is awaiting, therefore do await: So you will come to know who is the follower of the even path and who goes aright.
Sag: Jeder wartet ab; so wartet auch (ihr) ab. Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wer die Leute des ebenen Weges sind und wer rechtgeleitet ist.
Say, "Each [of us] is waiting; so wait. For you will know who are the companions of the sound path and who is guided."
قُلْ كُلٌّ مُّتَرَبِّصٌ فَتَرَبَّصُوا۟ فَسَتَعْلَمُونَ مَنْ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلصِّرَٰطِ ٱلسَّوِىِّ وَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ
