(Er,) Der den Tod und das Leben erschaffen hat, damit Er euch prüfe, wer von euch die besten Taten begeht. Und Er ist der Allmächtige und Allvergebende.
Shakir
Who created the seven heavens one above another; you see no incongruity in the creation of the Beneficent Allah; then look again, can you see any disorder?
Yusuf Ali
He Who created the seven heavens one above another: No want of proportion wilt thou see in the Creation of (Allah) Most Gracious. So turn thy vision again: seest thou any flaw?
(Er,) Der sieben Himmel in Schichten (übereinander) erschaffen hat. Du kannst in der Schöpfung des Allerbarmers keine Ungesetzmäßigkeit sehen. Wende den Blick zurück: Siehst du irgendwelche Risse?
Shakir
Then turn back the eye again and again; your look shall come back to you confused while it is fatigued.
Yusuf Ali
Again turn thy vision a second time: (thy) vision will come back to thee dull and discomfited, in a state worn out.
Hierauf wende den Blick wiederholt zurück. Der Blick wird zu dir erfolglos und ermüdet zurückkehren.
Shakir
And certainly We have adorned this lower heaven with lamps and We have made these missiles for the Shaitans, and We have prepared for them the chastisement of burning.
Yusuf Ali
And we have, (from of old), adorned the lowest heaven with Lamps, and We have made such (Lamps) (as) missiles to drive away the Evil Ones, and have prepared for them the Penalty of the Blazing Fire.
Wir haben ja den untersten Himmel mit Lampen geschmückt und haben sie zu Wurfgeschossen gegen die Satane gemacht. Und bereitet haben Wir für sie die Strafe der Feuerglut.
Shakir
And for those who disbelieve in their Lord is the punishment of hell, and evil is the resort.
Yusuf Ali
For those who reject their Lord (and Cherisher) is the Penalty of Hell: and evil is (such), Destination.
Beinahe würde sie vor Grimm bersten. Jedesmal, wenn eine Schar hineingeworfen wird, werden ihre Wärter sie fragen: "Ist zu euch denn kein Warner gekommen?"
Shakir
They shall say: Yea! indeed there came to us a warner, but we rejected (him) and said: Allah has not revealed anything, you are only in a great error.
Yusuf Ali
They will say: "Yes indeed; a Warner did come to us, but we rejected him and said, 'Allah never sent down any (Message): ye are nothing but an egregious delusion!'"
Sie werden sagen: "Ja doch, zu uns kam bereits ein Warner; aber wir haben (ihn) der Lüge bezichtigt und gesagt: , Allah hat nichts offenbart; ihr befindet euch nur in großem Irrtum'."
Shakir
And they shall say: Had we but listened or pondered, we should not have been among the inmates of the burning fire.
Yusuf Ali
They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we should not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
Sollte denn Derjenige, Der erschaffen hat, nicht Bescheid wissen'? Und Er ist der Feinfühlige und Allkundige.
Shakir
He it is Who made the earth smooth for you, therefore go about in the spacious sides thereof, and eat of His sustenance, and to Him is the return after death.
Yusuf Ali
It is He Who has made the earth manageable for you, so traverse ye through its tracts and enjoy of the Sustenance which He furnishes: but unto Him is the Resurrection.
Er ist es, Der euch die Erde fügsam gemacht hat. So geht auf ihrem Rücken einher und eßt von dem, womit Er (euch) versorgt. Und zu Ihm wird die Auferstehung sein.
Shakir
Are you secure of those in the heaven that He should not make the earth to swallow you up? Then lo! it shall be in a state of commotion.
Yusuf Ali
Do ye feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes (as in an earthquake)?
Glaubt ihr in Sicherheit davor zu sein, daß Wer im Himmel ist, die Erde mit euch versinken läßt, so daß sie sich dann hin und her bewegt?
Shakir
Or are you secure of those in the heaven that He should not send down upon you a punishment? Then shall you know how was My warning.
Yusuf Ali
Or do ye feel secure that He Who is in Heaven will not send against you a violent tornado (with showers of stones), so that ye shall know how (terrible) was My warning?
Oder glaubt ihr euch in Sicherheit davor, daß Wer im Himmel ist, gegen euch einen Sturm von Steinchen sendet? Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wie Meine Warnung ist.
Shakir
And certainly those before them rejected (the truth), then how was My disapproval.
Yusuf Ali
But indeed men before them rejected (My warning): then how (terrible) was My rejection (of them)?
Auch diejenigen, die vor ihnen waren, haben bereits (die Gesandten) der Lüge bezichtigt. Wie war da Meine Mißbilligung!
Shakir
Have they not seen the birds above them expanding (their wings) and contracting (them)? What is it that withholds them save the Beneficent Allah? Surely He sees everything.
Yusuf Ali
Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.
Sehen sie denn nicht auf die Vögel über ihnen, wie sie ihre Flügel ausgebreitet halten und einziehen? Nur der Allerbarmer hält sie. Gewiß, Er sieht alles wohl.
Shakir
Or who is it that will be a host for you to assist you besides the Beneficent Allah? The unbelievers are only in deception.
Yusuf Ali
Nay, who is there that can help you, (even as) an army, besides (Allah) Most Merciful? In nothing but delusion are the Unbelievers.
Oder wer ist denn dieser, der euch eine Heerschar wäre, die euch helfen (sollte) außer dem Allerbarmer? Die Ungläubigen befinden sich nur im Trug.
Shakir
Or who is it that will give you sustenance if He should withhold His sustenance? Nay! they persist in disdain and aversion.
Yusuf Ali
Or who is there that can provide you with Sustenance if He were to withhold His provision? Nay, they obstinately persist in insolent impiety and flight (from the Truth).
Ist denn jemand, der, auf sein Gesicht gestürzt, einhergeht, eher rechtgeleitet, oder jemand, der aufrecht auf einem geraden Weg einhergeht?
Shakir
Say: He it is Who brought you into being and made for you the ears and the eyes and the hearts: little is it that you give thanks.
Yusuf Ali
Say: "It is He Who has created you (and made you grow), and made for you the faculties of hearing, seeing, feeling and understanding: little thanks it is ye give.
Sag: Nur Allah weiß (darüber) Bescheid. Und ich bin nur ein deutlicher Warner.
Shakir
But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This is that which you used to call for.
Yusuf Ali
At length, when they see it close at hand, grieved will be the faces of the Unbelievers, and it will be said (to them): "This is (the promise fulfilled), which ye were calling for!"
Wenn sie es aber nahe (bei sich) sehen, dann werden die Gesichter derjenigen, die ungläubig sind, böse betroffen sein. Und es wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr stets herbeizurufen wünschtet."
Shakir
Say: Have you considered if Allah should destroy me and those with me - - rather He will have mercy on us; yet who will protect the unbelievers from a painful punishment?
Yusuf Ali
Say: "See ye? - If Allah were to destroy me, and those with me, or if He bestows His Mercy on us, - yet who can deliver the Unbelievers from a grievous Penalty?"
Sag: Was meint ihr, wenn Allah mich und wer mit mir ist, vernichten oder wenn Er Sich unser erbarmen sollte, wer wird dann den Ungläubigen Schutz vor schmerzhafter Strafe gewähren?
Shakir
Say: He is the Beneficent Allah, we believe in Him and on Him do we rely, so you shall come to know who it is that is in clear error.
Yusuf Ali
Say: "He is (Allah) Most Gracious: We have believed in Him, and on Him have we put our trust: So, soon will ye know which (of us) it is that is in manifest error."
