We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.

Und frag sie nach der Stadt, die am Meer lag, als sie den Sabbat übertraten, als ihre Fische zu ihnen an ihrem Sabbat sichtbar (geschwommen) kamen, aber an dem Tag, an dem sie nicht Sabbat hielten, nicht zu ihnen kamen. So prüfen Wir sie dafür, daß sie zu freveln pflegten.

Shakir

Then there came after them an evil posterity who inherited the Book, taking only the frail good of this low life and saying: It will be forgiven us. And if the like good came to them, they would take it (too). Was not a promise taken from them in the Book that they would not speak anything about Allah but the truth, and they have read what is in it; and the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil). Do you not then understand?

Deutsch

Dann folgten nach ihnen Nachfolger, die die Schrift erbten. Sie greifen nach den Glücksgütern des Diesseitigen und sagen: "Es wird uns vergeben werden." Und wenn sich ihnen gleiche Glücksgüter bieten, greifen sie danach. Wurde nicht mit ihnen das Abkommen der Schrift getroffen, sie sollen über Allah nur die Wahrheit sagen? Sie haben doch das, was darin steht, erlernt. Und die jenseitige Wohnstätte ist besser für diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind. Begreift ihr denn nicht?

Yusuf Ali

After them succeeded an (evil) generation: They inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the vanities of this world, saying (for excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven us." (Even so), if similar vanities came their way, they would (again) seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? and they study what is in the Book. But best for the righteous is the home in the Hereafter. Will ye not understand?

Und als dein Herr aus den Kindern Adams, aus ihren Rücken, ihre Nachkommenschaft nahm und sie gegen sich selbst zeugen ließ: "Bin Ich nicht euer Herr?" Sie sagten: "Doch, wir bezeugen (es)!" (Dies,) damit ihr nicht am Tag der Auferstehung sagt: "Wir waren dessen unachtsam",

When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?" - They said: "Yea!

Shakir

And if We had pleased, We would certainly have exalted him thereby; but he clung to the earth and followed his low desire, so his parable is as the parable of the dog; if you attack him he lolls out his tongue; and if you leave him alone he lolls out his tongue; this is the parable of the people who reject Our communications; therefore relate the narrative that they may reflect.

Deutsch

Und wenn Wir gewollt hätten, hätten Wir ihn durch sie fürwahr erhöht. Aber er neigte zur Erde hin und folgte seiner Neigung. So ist sein Gleichnis das eines Hundes: Wenn du auf ihn losgehst, hechelt er; läßt du ihn (in Ruhe), hechelt er (auch). So ist das Gleichnis der Leute, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten. Berichte die Geschichte, auf daß sie nachdenken mögen.

Yusuf Ali

If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires.

That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.

Yusuf Ali

It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."
