"Why do you not bring angels to us if you are of the truthful?"
Why bringest thou not angels unto us, if thou art of the truthful ?

وَجَآءَ أَهْلُ ٱلْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
[Lut (Lot)] said: "Verily! these are my guests, so shame me not.
He said: Lo! they are my guests. Affront me not!
Er sagte: "Das sind meine Gäste, so stellt mich nicht bloß.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ ضَيْفِى فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ
"And fear Allah and disgrace me not."
And keep your duty to Allah, and shame me not!
Und fürchtet Allah und stürzt mich nicht in Schande."
وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ
They (people of the city) said: "Did we not forbid you from entertaining (or protecting) any of the 'Alamin (people, foreigners and strangers from us)?"
They said; Have we not forbidden you from (entertaining) anyone ?
Sie sagten: "Haben wir dir nicht die Weltenbewohner verboten (als Gäste aufzunehmen)?4"
قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
[Lut (Lot)] said: "These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters (to marry lawfully), if you must act (so)."
He said: Here are my daughters, if ye must be doing (so).
Er sagte: "Hier sind meine Töchter, wenn ihr etwas tun wollt."
قَالَ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِىٓ إِن كُنتُمْ فَٰعِلِينَ
Verily, by your life (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.
By thy life (O Muhammad) they moved blindly in the frenzy of approaching death.
Bei deinem Leben, sie irrten wahrlich in ihrer Trunkenheit umher.
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِى سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them at the time of sunrise.
Then the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the sunrise.
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Sonnenaufgang,
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay.
And We utterly confounded them, and We rained upon them stones of heated clay.
und Wir kehrten das Oberste von ihr zuunterst und ließen auf sie Steine aus gebranntem Lehm regnen.
فَجَعَلْنَا عَٰلِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
Surely! In this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah).
Lo! therein verily are portents for those who read the signs.
Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für die Betrachtenden.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
And verily! They (the cities) were right on the highroad (from Makkah to Syria i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now) .
And lo! it is upon a road still uneffaced.
Und sie liegt fürwahr an einem noch bestehenden Weg.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ
Surely! Therein is indeed a sign for the believers.
Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für die Gläubigen.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And the Dwellers in the Wood [i.e. the people of Madyan (Midian) to whom Prophet Shu'aib (عليه السلام) was sent by Allah), were also Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
And the dwellers in the wood indeed were evil - doers.
Und die Bewohner des Dickichts taten fürwahr Unrecht,
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْأَيْكَةِ لَظَٰلِمِينَ
So, We took vengeance on them. They are both on an open highway, plain to see.
So we took vengeance on them; and lo! they both are on a high - road plain to see.
so übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. Beide liegen fürwahr an einem deutlichen Weg.
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
And verily, the dwellers of Al-Hijr (the rocky tract) denied the Messengers.
And the dwellers in Al - Hijr denied (Our) messengers.
Und die Bewohner von al-Higr bezichtigten die Gesandten der Lüge.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْحِجْرِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
And We gave them Our Signs, but they were averse to them.
And we gave them Our revelations, but they were averse to them.
Wir ließen ihnen Unsere Zeichen zukommen, aber sie wandten sich von ihnen ab.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ ءَايَٰتِنَا فَكَانُوا۟ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
And they used to hew out dwellings from the mountains (feeling themselves) secure.
And they used to hew out dwellings from the hills, (wherein they dwelt) secure.
Und sie hauten aus den Bergen Häuser aus, im Trachten nach Sicherheit.
وَكَانُوا۟ يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا ءَامِنِينَ
But As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in the early morning (of the fourth day of their promised punishment days).
But the (Awful) Cry overtook them at the morning hour,
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Tagesanbruch;
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
And all that they used to earn availed them not.
And that which they were wont to count as gain availed them not.
so nützte ihnen nicht, was sie erworben hatten.
فَمَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
And We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and the Hour is surely coming, so overlook (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) their faults with gracious forgiveness. [This was before the ordainment of Jihad - holy fighting in Allah's cause].
We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with truth, and lo! the Hour is surely coming. So forgive, (O Muhammad), with a gracious forgiveness.
Wir haben die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist nur in Wahrheit erschaffen. Gewiß, die Stunde wird sicher eintreffen. So übe schöne Nachsicht.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ
Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.
Lo! Thy Lord! He is the All - Wise Creator.
Dein Herr ist der Allerschaffer und der Allwissende.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ ٱلْخَلَّٰقُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathani (seven repeatedly recited Verses), (i.e. Surat Al-Fatihah) and the Grand Qur'an.
We have given thee seven of the oft - repeated (verses) and the great Qur'an.
Und Wir haben dir doch sieben von den sich wiederholenden Versen gegeben, und (auch) den großartigen Qur'an.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَٰكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ ٱلْمَثَانِى وَٱلْقُرْءَانَ ٱلْعَظِيمَ
Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them (the disbelievers), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).
Strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoin, and be not grieved on their account, and lower thy wing (in tenderness) for the believers.
Richte ja nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren. Und sei nicht traurig über sie. Und senke deinen Flügel für die Gläubigen,
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِۦٓ أَزْوَٰجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَٱخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "I am indeed a plain warner."
And say: Lo! I, even I, am a plain warner,
und sag: Ich bin ja der deutliche Warner.
وَقُلْ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا ٱلنَّذِيرُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
As We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish pagans or Jews and Christians).
Such as We send down for those who make division,
Wie Wir (die Strafe) auf diejenigen hinabgesandt haben, die aufteilten,
كَمَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى ٱلْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
Who have made the Qur'an into parts. (i.e. believed in one part and disbelieved in the other). [Tafsir At-Tabari]
Those who break the Qur'an into parts.
die den Qur'an (in einzelne Teile) zergliedert haben.
ٱلَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ عِضِينَ
So, by your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), We shall certainly call all of them to account.
Them, by thy Lord, We shall question, every one,
Ja, bei deinem Herrn! Wir werden sie allesamt ganz gewiß befragen
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْـَٔلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
For all that they used to do.
Of what they used to do.
über das, was sie zu tun pflegten.
عَمَّا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
Therefore proclaim openly (Allah's Message - Islamic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers - See V.2:105).
So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.
So verkünde denn laut, was dir befohlen wird, und wende dich von den Götzendienern ab.
فَٱصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers,
Lo! We defend thee from the scoffers,
Wir genügen dir (als Schutz) vor den Spöttern,
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَٰكَ ٱلْمُسْتَهْزِءِينَ
Who set up along with Allah another ilah (god); but they will come to know.
Who set some other god along with Allah. But they will come to know.
die neben Allah einen anderen Gott setzen. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.
Well know We that thy bosom is oppressed by what they say,
Wir wissen ja, daß deine Brust beklommen ist wegen dessen, was sie sagen.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).
But hymn the praise of thy Lord, and be of those who make prostration (unto Him).
Aber lobpreise deinen Herrn und gehöre zu denen, die sich niederwerfen,
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ ٱلسَّٰجِدِينَ
And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).
And serve thy Lord till the Inevitable cometh unto thee.
und diene deinem Herrn, bis die Gewißheit zu dir kommt.
وَٱعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ ٱلْيَقِينُ
