Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong - doers.
Den haben Wir zu einer Versuchung für die Ungerechten gemacht.
Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,

Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.

So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.

And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),
And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
Und Wir erretteten ihn und seine Angehörigen aus der großen Trübsal
And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).
And made his seed the survivors,
und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!
Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he [Nuh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).
Then We did drown the others.
Hierauf ließen Wir die anderen ertrinken.
And, verily, among those who followed his [Nuh's (Noah)] way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
Zu seiner Gemeinde gehörte fürwahr Ibrahim.
When he came to his Lord with a pure heart [attached to Allah Alone and none else, worshipping none but Allah Alone - true Islamic Monotheism, pure from the filth of polytheism].
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
Als er zu seinem Herrn mit heilem Herzen kam.
When he said to his father and to his people: "What is it that which you worship?
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?
Als er zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Wem dient ihr da?
"Is it a falsehood - alihah (gods) other than Allah - that you desire?
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?
Wollt ihr außer Allah falsche Götter haben?
"Then what think you about the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn, and all that exists)?"
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?
Welche Meinung habt ihr denn vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner?"
Then he cast a glance at the stars,
And he glanced a glance at the stars
Dann warf er einen Blick zu den Sternen
And he said: "Verily, I am sick (with plague). [He did this trick to remain in their temple of idols to destroy them and not to accompany them to the pagan feast)]."
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
Da kehrten sie ihm den Rücken.
Then he turned to their alihah (gods) and said: "Will you not eat (of the offering before you)?
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?
Nun schlich er sich zu ihren Göttern und sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht essen?
"What is the matter with you that you speak not?"
What aileth you that ye speak not ?
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht redet?"
Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
Und er wandte sich gegen sie und schlug auf sie mit der Rechten ein.
Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
"While Allah has created you and what you make!"
When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?
wo doch Allah euch und das, was ihr tut, erschaffen hat?"
They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red - hotfire.
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."
So they plotted a plot against him, but We made them the lowest.
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
"My Lord! Grant me (offspring) from the righteous."
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
And, when he (his son) was old enough to walk with him, he said: "O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice to Allah). So look what you think!" He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient)."
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
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."
Then, when they had both submitted themselves (to the Will of Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (or on the side of his forehead for slaughtering);
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
We called out to him: "O Abraham!
We called unto him: O Abraham!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See 2:112).
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.
Lo! that verily was a clear test.
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!"
Peace be unto Abraham!
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Thus do We reward the good.
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.

And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.

And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.

"Salam (peace) be upon Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)!"
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).

Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
"Will you call upon Ba'l (a well known idol of his nation whom they used to worship) and forsake the Best of creators,
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
"Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
But they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.

Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,

So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)

"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,

But (now that the Qur'an has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur'an and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)

So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,
Withdraw from them awhile
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
