Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
Glorify the name of thy Guardian - Lord Most High,
Preise den Namen deines höchsten Herrn,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Who creates, then makes complete,
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
And Who brings forth herbage,
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
und sie dann zu dunkelbrauner Spreu macht.
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
Wir werden dich lesen lassen, und dann wirst du nichts vergessen,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
Except as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is manifest and what is hidden.
außer dem, was Allah will. Er weiß ja, was laut vernehmbar geäußert wird und was verborgen bleibt.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
And We will make it easy for thee (to follow) the simple (Path).
Und Wir werden dir den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
Therefore give admonition in case the admonition profits (the hearer).
So ermahne -, wenn die Ermahnung nützt.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
He who fears will mind,
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who shall enter the great fire;
Who will enter the Great Fire,
der dem größten (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein wird;
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
In which they will then neither die nor live.
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
But those will prosper who purify themselves,
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sich läutert,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
And glorify the name of their Guardian - Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
und des Namens seines Herrn gedenkt; so betet er.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
Nay (behold), ye prefer the life of this world;
Nein! Vielmehr zieht ihr das diesseitige Leben vor,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
But the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
während das Jenseits besser und beständiger ist.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
And this is in the Books of the earliest (Revelation), -
Dies ist wahrlich in den früheren Blättern (enthalten),
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
The Books of Abraham and Moses.
den Blättern Ibrahims und Musas.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
