Chapter 37, 182 verses
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
By those who range themselves in ranks,
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّا
Then those who drive away with reproof,
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا
Then those who recite, being mindful,
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
Most surely your Allah is One:
Verily, verily, your Allah is one! -
Euer Gott ist wahrlich ein Einziger,
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, und der Herr der Osten.
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, -
Wir haben den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern';
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
So können sie der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es immerwährende Strafe geben -,
دُحُورًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
außer jemandem, der rasch etwas aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ
Nay! you wonder while they mock,
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
Aber nein! Du wunderst dich, während sie spotten.
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed, -
Und wenn sie ermahnt werden, gedenken sie nicht.
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
Und wenn sie ein Zeichen sehen, spotten sie darüber.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
Und sie sagen: "Das ist nur deutliche Zauberei.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
Or our fathers of yore?
"And also our fathers of old?"
Und auch unsere Vorväter?"
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
Sag: Ja, und ihr werdet euch demütig verhalten.
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein, da schauen sie sogleich hin.
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
Und sie werden sagen: "O wehe uns! Das ist der Tag des Gerichts!"
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
- "Das ist der Tag der Entscheidung, den ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet.
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong - doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped -
- (Zu den Engeln des Gerichts wird gesagt:) Versammelt (nun) diejenigen, die Unrecht getan haben, ihre Gattinnen und das, dem sie dienten
ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
anstatt Allahs. Dann leitet sie zum Weg des Höllenbrandes
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
"But stop them, for they must be asked:
und stellt sie auf, denn sie werden befragt werden."
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
- (Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt:) "Was ist mit euch, daß ihr einander nicht unterstützt?"
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);
Nein! Vielmehr ergeben sie sich heute.
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
And they will turn to one another, and question one another.
Und sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"
Sie sagen: "Ihr kamt doch zu uns (stets) von rechts her'."
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
Sie sagen: "Aber nein! Ihr wart ja nicht gläubig.
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!
Wir aber hatten keine Macht über euch, sondern vielmehr wart ihr Leute, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten.
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَٰغِينَ
So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).
So ist das Wort unseres Herrn gegen uns unvermeidlich fällig geworden. Wir werden bestimmt (die Strafe) kosten.
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."
Und so haben wir euch in Verirrung fallen lassen, denn wir waren ja selbst in Verirrung gefallen."
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.
Gewiß denn, an jenem Tag werden sie an der(selben) Strafe teilhaben.
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.
Gewiß, so verfahren Wir mit den Übeltätern,
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,
denn sie pflegten, wenn zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah", sich hochmütig zu verhalten,
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
und sagten: "Sollen wir denn wahrlich unsere Götter verlassen wegen eines besessenen Dichters?"
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.

Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.

Ihr werdet bestimmt die schmerzhafte Strafe kosten,
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought; -

وَمَا تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah, -

White, delicious to those who drink.

بَيْضَآءَ لَذَّةٍ لِّلشَّٰرِبِينَ
There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
Darin steckt nichts Beeinträchtigendes, und dadurch werden sie nicht benommen.
لَا فِيهَا غَوْلٌ وَلَا هُمْ عَنْهَا يُنزَفُونَ
And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).
Und bei ihnen sind solche (weiblichen Wesen), die ihre Blicke zurückhalten, mit schönen, großen Augen,
وَعِندَهُمْ قَٰصِرَٰتُ ٱلطَّرْفِ عِينٌ

Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.
Then they will turn to one another and question one another.

A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,
One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),
Einer von ihnen sagt: "Gewiß, ich hatte einen Gesellen,
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ إِنِّى كَانَ لِى قَرِينٌ
Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?
"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?
der da sagte: .Gehörst du wirklich zu denjenigen, die es für wahr halten?
يَقُولُ أَءِنَّكَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُصَدِّقِينَ
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
"'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'"
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich vor Gericht gestellt werden'?"

And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.
"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!

وَلَوْلَا نِعْمَةُ رَبِّى لَكُنتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْضَرِينَ
Is it then that we are not going to die,

أَفَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَيِّتِينَ
Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"

Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
Verily this is the supreme achievement!
Das ist doch wahrlich der großartige Erfolg!
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
For the like of this then let the workers work.

أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ نُّزُلًا أَمْ شَجَرَةُ ٱلزَّقُّومِ
Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong - doers.
Den haben Wir zu einer Versuchung für die Ungerechten gemacht.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهَا فِتْنَةً لِّلظَّٰلِمِينَ
Surely it is a tree that - grows in the bottom of the hell;
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell - Fire:
Er ist ein Baum, der im Grund des Höllenbrandes hervorkommt,
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
The shoots of its fruit - stalks are like the heads of devils:
dessen Fruchtscheide so ist, als wären es Köpfe von Satanen.
طَلْعُهَا كَأَنَّهُۥ رُءُوسُ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ
Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
Sie werden wahrlich davon essen und werden (sich) so davon die Bäuche füllen.
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَءَاكِلُونَ مِنْهَا فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.
Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.
Hierauf erhalten sie fürwahr eine Mischung von heißem Wasser.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهَا لَشَوْبًا مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.
Hierauf kehren sie fürwahr zum Höllenbrand zurück.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ مَرْجِعَهُمْ لَإِلَى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Surely they found their fathers going astray,
Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;
Sie haben ja ihre Väter im Irrtum vorgefunden,
إِنَّهُمْ أَلْفَوْا۟ ءَابَآءَهُمْ ضَآلِّينَ
So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!
und so sind sie auf ihren Spuren eilig getrieben worden.
فَهُمْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ يُهْرَعُونَ
And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray; -
Vor ihnen sind bereits die meisten der Früheren abgeirrt,
وَلَقَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَهُمْ أَكْثَرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And certainly We sent among them warners.
But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them; -
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا فِيهِم مُّنذِرِينَ
Then see how was the end of those warned,
Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not), -
So schau, wie das Ende der Gewarnten war,
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.
außer Allahs auserlesener Diener.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.
(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.
Und Nuh rief Uns ja bereits zu - welch trefflicher Erhörer sind Wir fürwahr!
وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ
And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty distress.
And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,
Und Wir erretteten ihn und seine Angehörigen aus der großen Trübsal
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
And We made his offspring the survivors.
And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);
und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
وَجَعَلْنَا ذُرِّيَّتَهُۥ هُمُ ٱلْبَاقِينَ
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ نُوحٍ فِى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Surely he was of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Then We drowned the others
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.
Hierauf ließen Wir die anderen ertrinken.
ثُمَّ أَغْرَقْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
And most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.
Zu seiner Gemeinde gehörte fürwahr Ibrahim.
وَإِنَّ مِن شِيعَتِهِۦ لَإِبْرَٰهِيمَ
When he came to his Lord with a free heart,
Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.
Als er zu seinem Herrn mit heilem Herzen kam.
إِذْ جَآءَ رَبَّهُۥ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ
When he said to his father and his people: What is it that you worship?
Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?
Als er zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Wem dient ihr da?
إِذْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦ مَاذَا تَعْبُدُونَ
A lie - - gods besides Allah - - do you desire?
"Is it a falsehood - gods other than Allah - that ye desire?
Wollt ihr außer Allah falsche Götter haben?
أَئِفْكًا ءَالِهَةً دُونَ ٱللَّهِ تُرِيدُونَ
What is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"
Welche Meinung habt ihr denn vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner?"
فَمَا ظَنُّكُم بِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.
Dann warf er einen Blick zu den Sternen
فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِى ٱلنُّجُومِ
Then he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).
And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
فَقَالَ إِنِّى سَقِيمٌ
So they went away from him, turning back.
So they turned away from him, and departed.
Da kehrten sie ihm den Rücken.
فَتَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ
Then he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you not eat?
Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...
Nun schlich er sich zu ihren Göttern und sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht essen?
فَرَاغَ إِلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَلَا تَأْكُلُونَ
What is the matter with you that you do not speak?
"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht redet?"
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنطِقُونَ
Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the right hand.
Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
Und er wandte sich gegen sie und schlug auf sie mit der Rechten ein.
فَرَاغَ عَلَيْهِمْ ضَرْبًۢا بِٱلْيَمِينِ
So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
فَأَقْبَلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يَزِفُّونَ
Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?
Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
قَالَ أَتَعْبُدُونَ مَا تَنْحِتُونَ
And Allah has created you and what you make.
"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"
wo doch Allah euch und das, was ihr tut, erschaffen hat?"
وَٱللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ
And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِ
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
We called out to him "O Abraham!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
For this was obviously a trial -
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Peace be on Ibrahim.
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
Und Wir verkündeten ihm Ishaq als einen Propheten von den Rechtschaffenen.
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
Und Wir segneten ihn und Ishaq. Unter ihrer Nachkommenschaft gibt es manche, die Gutes tun, und manche, die sich selbst offenkundig Unrecht zufügen.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
Und Wir erwiesen bereits Musa und Harun eine Wohltat
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
und erretteten sie beide und ihr Volk aus der großen Trübsal.
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
Und Wir halfen ihnen, da waren sie es, die Sieger wurden.
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
Und Wir gaben ihnen beiden die verdeutlichende Schrift
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
And We guided them both on the right way.
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
und leiteten sie den geraden Weg.
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
For they were two of our believing Servants.
Sie beide gehören ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
Auch Ilyas gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Peace be on Ilyas.
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
Friede sei auf Ilyas!
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
Auch Lut gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
Als Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen allesamt erretteten,
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Then We destroyed the others.
Then We destroyed the rest.
Hierauf vertilgten Wir die anderen.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
Ihr kommt ja an ihnen vorbei, bei Tagesanbruch
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
And at night; do you not then understand?
And by night: will ye not understand?
und bei Nacht. Begreift ihr denn nicht?'
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
Auch Yunus gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
Als er zum vollbeladenen Schiff davonlief.
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Will you not then mind?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Or have you a clear authority?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
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)!
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
So surely you and what you worship,
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
Save him who will go to hell.
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
And surely they used to say:
And there were those who said,
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
That they would certainly be assisted,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
And turn away from them till a time
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
And peace be on the apostles.
And Peace on the messengers!
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
