In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ta-Ha. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].
Ta Ha.
Ta-Ha.
We have not sent down the Qur'an unto you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to cause you distress,
We have not revealed the Quran to you that you may be unsuccessful.
Wir haben den Qur'an nicht auf dich (als Offenbarung) hinabgesandt, damit du unglücklich bist,
But only as a Reminder to those who fear (Allah).
Nay, it is a reminder to him who fears:
sondern als Erinnerung für denjenigen, der gottesfürchtig ist,
A revelation from Him (Allah) Who has created the earth and high heavens.
A revelation from Him Who created the earth and the high heavens.
eine Offenbarung von Demjenigen, Der die Erde und die hohen Himmel erschaffen hat.
The Most Gracious (Allah) rose over (Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).
The Beneficent Allah is firm in power.
Der Allerbarmer ist über dem Thron erhaben.
To Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and all that is between them, and all that is under the soil.
His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth and what is between them two and what is beneath the ground.
Ihm gehört (alles), was in den Himmeln und was auf der Erde ist und was dazwischen und was unter dem (feuchten) Erdreich ist.
And if you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) speak (the invocation) aloud, then verily, He knows the secret and that which is yet more hidden.
And if you utter the saying aloud, then surely He knows the secret, and what is yet more hidden.
Und wenn du deine Worte laut vernehmbar äußerst, gewiß so weiß Er ja das Geheime und was noch verborgener ist.
Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He)! To Him belong the Best Names.
Allah - - there is no god but He; His are the very best names.
Allah - es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Sein sind die schönsten Namen.
And has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)?
And has the story of Musa come to you?
Ist zu dir die Geschichte Musas gekommen?
When he saw a fire, he said to his family: "Wait! Verily, I have seen a fire; perhaps I can bring you some burning brand therefrom, or find some guidance at the fire."
When he saw fire, he said to his family: Stop, for surely I see a fire, haply I may bring to you therefrom a live coal or find a guidance at the fire.
Als er ein Feuer sah und zu seinen Angehörigen sagte: "Bleibt hier. Ich habe ein Feuer wahrgenommen; vielleicht kann ich euch davon ein brennendes Stück Holz bringen oder am Feuer eine Wegweisung finden."
And when he came to it (the fire), he was called by name: "O Musa (Moses)!
So when he came to it, a voice was uttered: O Musa:
Als er dort hinkam, wurde ihm zugerufen: "O Musa!
"Verily I am your Lord! So take off your shoes; you are in the sacred valley, Tuwa.
Surely I am your Lord, therefore put off your shoes; surely you are in the sacred valley, Tuwa,
Gewiß, Ich bin dein Herr, so ziehe deine Schuhe aus. Du befindest dich im geheiligten Tal Tuwa.
"And I have chosen you. So listen to that which will be revealed (to you).
And I have chosen you, so listen to what is revealed:
Und Ich habe dich erwählt. So höre auf das, was (als Offenbarung) eingegeben wird.
"Verily! I am Allah! La ilaha illa Ana (none has the right to be worshipped but I), so worship Me, and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) for My Remembrance.
Surely I am Allah, there is no god but I, therefore serve Me and keep up prayer for My remembrance:
Gewiß, Ich bin Allah. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Mir. So diene Mir und verrichte das Gebet zu Meinem Gedenken.
"Verily, the Hour is coming - and I am almost hiding it from Myself - that every person may be rewarded for that which he strives.
Surely the hour is coming - - I am about to make it manifest - - so that every soul may be rewarded as it strives:
Gewiß, die Stunde kommt - Ich hielte sie beinahe (ganz) verborgen -, damit jeder Seele das vergolten wird, worum sie sich bemüht.
"Therefore, let not the one who believes not therein (i.e. in the Day of Resurrection, Reckoning, Paradise and Hell.), but follows his own lusts, divert you therefrom, lest you perish.
Therefore let not him who believes not in it and follows his low desires turn you away from it so that you should perish;
So lasse denn nicht denjenigen dich von ihr abhalten, der nicht an sie glaubt und seiner Neigung folgt, sonst würdest du dich ins Verderben stürzen.
"And what is that in your right hand, O Musa (Moses)?"
And what is this in your right hand, O Musa!
Und was ist das da in deiner Rechten, o Musa?"
He said: "This is my stick, whereon I lean, and wherewith I beat down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses."
He said: This is my staff: I recline on it and I beat the leaves with it to make them fall upon my sheep, and I have other uses for it.
Er sagte: "Es ist mein Stock, auf den ich mich stütze und mit dem ich für meine Schafe Blätter abschlage; und ich gebrauche ihn auch noch zu anderen Zwecken."
(Allah) said: "Cast it down, O Musa (Moses)!"
He said: Cast it down, O Musa!
Er sagte: "Wirf ihn hin, o Musa!"
He cast it down, and behold! It was a snake, moving quickly.
So he cast it down; and lo! it was a serpent running.
Er warf ihn hin, und sogleich war er eine Schlange, die sich rasch bewegte.
Allah said: "Grasp it and fear not; We shall return it to its former state,
He said: Take hold of it and fear not; We will restore it to its former state:
Er sagte: "Nimm sie, und fürchte dich nicht. Wir werden sie in ihren früheren Zustand zurückbringen.
"And press your (right) hand to your (left) side: it will come forth white (and shining), without any disease as another sign,
And press your hand to your side, it shall come out white without evil: another sign:
Und lege deine Hand dicht an deine Seite (, unter dem Oberarm), so kommt sie weiß heraus, jedoch nicht von Übel befallen. (Nimm dies) als weiteres Zeichen,
"That We may show you (some) of Our Greater Signs.
That We may show you of Our greater signs:
auf daß Wir dich etwas von Unseren größten Zeichen sehen lassen.
"Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh)! Verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience, and has behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant)."
Go to Firon, surely he has exceeded all limits.
Geh zu Fir'aun, denn gewiß, er überschreitet das Maß (an Frevel)."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "O my Lord! Open for me my chest (grant me self-confidence, contentment, and boldness).
He said: O my Lord! Expand my breast for me,
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, weite mir meine Brust,
"And ease my task for me;
And make my affair easy to me,
und mache mir meine Angelegenheit leicht.
"And loose the knot (the defect) from my tongue, (i.e. remove the incorrectness from my speech) [That occurred as a result of a brand of fire which Musa (Moses) put in his mouth when he was an infant]. (Tafsir At-Tabari).
And loose the knot from my tongue,
Und löse den Knoten in meiner Zunge,
"That they understand my speech.
(That) they may understand my word;
so daß sie meine Worte verstehen.
"And appoint for me a helper from my family,
And give to me an aider from my family:
Und bestelle mir von meinen Angehörigen einen, der (die Last) mitträgt,
"Harun (Aaron), my brother.
Haroun, my brother,
Harun, meinen Bruder.
"Increase my strength with him,
Strengthen my back by him,
Festige durch ihn meine Stärke,
"And let him share my task (of conveying Allah's Message and Prophethood),
And associate him (with me) in my affair,
und lasse ihn an meiner Angelegenheit teilhaben,
"That we may glorify You much,
So that we should glorify Thee much,
damit wir Dich häufig preisen
"And remember You much,
And remember Thee oft.
und Deiner häufig gedenken.
"Verily You are Ever a Well-Seer of us."
Surely, Thou art seeing us.
Gewiß, Du siehst uns wohl."
(Allah) said: "You are granted your request, O Musa (Moses)!
He said: You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa
Er sagte: "Deine Bitte ist dir ja gewährt, o Musa!
"And indeed We conferred a favour on you another time (before).
And certainly We bestowed on you a favor at another time;
Und Wir erwiesen dir bereits ein anderes Mal eine Wohltat,
"When We inspired your mother with that which We inspired.
When We revealed to your mother what was revealed;
als Wir deiner Mutter eingaben, was (als Weisung) eingegeben werden sollte:
"Saying: 'Put him (the child) into the Tabut (a box or a case or a chest) and put it into the river (Nile); then the river shall cast it up on the bank, and there, an enemy of Mine and an enemy of his shall take him.' And I endued you with love from Me, in order that you may be brought up under My Eye.
Saying: Put him into a chest, then cast it down into the river, then the river shall throw him on the shore; there shall take him up one who is an enemy to Me and enemy to him, and I cast down upon you love from Me, and that you might be brought up before My eyes;
,Wirf ihn in den Kasten und wirf ihn ins Wasser', und das Wasser soll ihn ans Ufer setzen, so daß ihn ein Feind von Mir und ein Feind von ihm aufnimmt. Und Ich habe auf dich Liebe von Mir gelegt - und damit du vor Meinem Auge aufgezogen würdest.
"When your sister went and said: 'Shall I show you one who will nurse him?' So We restored you to your mother, that she might cool her eyes and she should not grieve. Then you did kill a man, but We saved you from great distress and tried you with a heavy trial. Then you stayed a number of years with the people of Madyan (Midian). Then you came here according to the fixed term which I ordained (for you), O Musa (Moses)!
When your sister went and said: Shall I direct you to one who will take charge of him? So We brought you back to your mother, that her eye might be cooled and she should not grieve and you killed a man, then We delivered you from the grief, and We tried you with (a severe) trying. Then you stayed for years among the people of Madyan; then you came hither as ordained, O Musa.
Als deine Schwester hinging und sagte: .Soll ich euch auf jemanden hinweisen, der ihn betreuen würde? So gaben Wir dich deiner Mutter wieder, damit sie frohen Mutes und nicht traurig sei. Und du tötetest eine Seele, und da erretteten Wir dich aus dem Kummer, und Wir unterzogen dich einer harten Prüfung. So verweiltest du jahrelang unter den Leuten von Madyan. Hierauf kamst du zu einer vorausbe stimmten Zeit, o Musa.
"And I have chosen you, for Myself.
And I have chosen you for Myself:
Und Ich habe dich für Mich auserwählt.
"Go you and your brother with My Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and do not, you both, slacken and become weak in My Remembrance.
Go you and your brother with My communications and be not remiss in remembering Me;
Geh, du und dein Bruder, mit Meinen Zeichen, und laßt nicht nach in Meinem Gedenken.
"Go, both of you, to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience and behaved as an arrogant and as a tyrant).
Go both to Firon, surely he has become inordinate;
Geht zu Fir'aun, denn er lehnt sich auf.
"And speak to him mildly, perhaps he may accept admonition or fear (Allah)."
Then speak to him a gentle word haply he may mind or fear.
Und so redet mit ihm in sanften Worten, auf daß er bedenken oder sich fürchten möge."
They said: "Our Lord! Verily we fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress (all bounds against us)."
Both said: O our Lord! Surely we fear that he may hasten to do evil to us or that he may become inordinate.
Sie sagten: "Unser Herr, gewiß, wir fürchten, daß er übereilig gegen uns vorgeht oder daß er das Maß überschreitet."
He (Allah) said: "Fear not, verily I am with you both, hearing and seeing.
He said: Fear not, surely I am with you both: I do hear and see.
Er sagte: "Fürchtet euch nicht. Ich bin gewiß mit euch, Ich höre und Ich sehe (, was geschieht).
"So go you both to him, and say: 'Verily, we are Messengers of your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and torment them not; indeed, we have come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance!
So go you both to him and say: Surely we are two apostles of your Lord; therefore send the children of Israel with us and do not torment them! Indeed we have brought to you a communication from your Lord, and peace is on him who follows the guidance;
So kommt denn zu ihm und sagt: ,Wir beide sind Gesandte deines Herrn. Lasse die Kinder Isra'ils mit uns gehen, und strafe sie nicht. Wir sind ja mit einem Zeichen von deinem Herrn zu dir gekommen. Und Friede sei auf demjenigen, der der Rechtleitung folgt.
"Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies [believes not in the Oneness of Allah, and in His Messengers.], and turns away (from the truth and obedience of Allah)."
Surely it has been revealed to us that the chastisement will surely come upon him who rejects and turns back.
Uns ist ja (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden, daß die Strafe denjenigen überkommt, der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt'."
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "Who then, O Musa (Moses), is the Lord of you two?"
(Firon) said: And who is your Lord, O Musa?
Er sagte: "Wer ist denn euer beider Herr, o Musa?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Our Lord is He Who gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright."
He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation, then guided it (to its goal).
Er sagte: "Unser Herr ist derjenige, der allem seine Natur gegeben und (es) hierauf rechtgeleitet hat."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "What about the generations of old?"
He said: Then what is the state of the former generations?
Er sagte: "Wie steht es denn mit den früheren Geschlechtern?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord, in a Record. My Lord neither errs nor He forgets."
He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, my Lord errs not, nor does He forget;
Er sagte: "Das Wissen um sie ist bei meinem Herrn in .einem Buch. Mein Herr im nicht, noch vergißt Er."
Who has made earth for you like a bed (spread out); and has opened roads (ways and paths) for you therein, and has sent down water (rain) from the sky. And We have brought forth with it various kinds of vegetation.
Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for you therein paths and sent down water from the cloud; then thereby We have brought forth many species of various herbs.
(Er ist es,) Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und für euch auf ihr Wege sich hinziehen und vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt, womit Wir dann Arten verschiedener Gewächse hervorbringen.
Eat and pasture your cattle (therein); verily, in this are Ayat (proofs and signs) for men of understanding.
Eat and pasture your cattle; most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
Eßt und weidet euer Vieh. Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Thereof (the earth) We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you out once again.
From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.
Aus ihr haben Wir euch erschaffen, und in sie bringen Wir euch zurück, und aus ihr bringen Wir euch ein anderes Mal hervor.
And indeed We showed him [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] all Our Ayat (signs and evidence), but he denied and refused.
And truly We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he rejected and refused.
Und Wir zeigten ihm ja Unsere Zeichen alle, aber er erklärte (sie) für Lüge und weigerte sich.
He [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Have you come to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Musa (Moses)?
Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa?
Er sagte: "Bist du zu uns gekommen, um uns aus unserem Land mit deiner Zauberei zu vertreiben, o Musa?
"Then verily, we can produce magic the like thereof; so appoint a meeting between us and you, which neither we nor you shall fail to keep, in an open place where both shall have a just and equal chance (and beholders could witness the competition)."
So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.
Aber wir werden dir ganz gewiß Zauberei gleicher Art bringen. So setze zwischen uns und dir eine Verabredung(szeit) fest, die weder wir noch du verfehlen werden, an einem Ort, der (uns allen) gleichermaßen recht ist."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Your appointed meeting is the day of the festival, and let the people assemble when the sun has risen (forenoon)."
(Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.
Er sagte: "Eure Verabredung(szeit) soll der Tag des Schmuckfestes sein, und die Menschen sollen am hellen Morgen versammelt werden."
So Fir'aun (Pharaoh) withdrew, devised his plot and then came back.
So Firon turned his back and settled his plan, then came.
Und so kehrte sich Fir'aun ab, und dann nahm er seine ganze List zusammen. Hierauf kam er.
Musa (Moses) said to them: "Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He should destroy you completely by a torment. And surely, he who invents a lie (against Allah) will fail miserably."
Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).
Musa sagte zu ihnen: "Wehe euch! Ersinnt gegen Allah keine Lüge, sonst vertilgt Er euch durch eine Strafe. Enttäuscht wird ja, wer Lügen ersinnt."
Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their talk secret.
So they disputed with one another about their affair and kept the discourse secret.
Da stritten sie untereinander über ihre Angelegenheit und führten insgeheim vertrauliche Gespräche.
They said: "Verily these are two magicians. Their object is to drive you out from your land with magic, and overcome your chiefs and nobles.
They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish to turn you out from your land by their magic and to take away your best traditions.
Sie sagten: "Diese beiden sind wahrlich nur Zauberer, die euch aus eurem Land mit ihrem Zauber vertreiben und eure vorbildliche Lebensweise beseitigen wollen.
"So devise your plot, and then assemble in line. And whoever overcomes this day will be indeed ."
Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks and he will prosper indeed this day who overcomes.
So einigt euch auf eure List, hierauf kommt in Reihen. Und wohl ergehen wird es ja heute demjenigen, der die Oberhand gewinnt."
They said: "O Musa (Moses)! Either you throw first or we be the first to throw?"
They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first who cast down?
Sie sagten: "O Musa, entweder wirfst du, oder wir werden es sein, die zuerst werfen."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, throw you (first)!" Then behold! their ropes and their sticks, by their magic, appeared to him as though they moved fast.
He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods - - it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running.
Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr werft ihr (zuerst)." Und sogleich kamen ihm ihre Stricke und Stöcke durch ihre Zauberei so vor, als ob sie sich rasch bewegten.
So Musa (Moses) conceived fear in himself.
So Musa conceived in his mind a fear.
Und er, Musa, empfand Furcht in seiner Seele.
We (Allah) said: "Fear not! Surely, you will have the upper hand.
We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost,
Wir sagten: "Fürchte dich nicht; du, ja gewiß du, wirst die Oberhand gewinnen.
"And throw that which is in your right hand! It will swallow up that which they have made. That which they have made is only a magician's trick, and the magician will never be , to whatever amount (of skill) he may attain."
And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devour what they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of a magician, and the magician shall not be wheresoever he may come from.
Wirf hin, was in deiner Rechten ist, so verschlingt es das, was sie gemacht haben. Was sie gemacht haben, ist nur die List eines Zauberers, und dem Zauberer wird es nicht wohl ergehen, wohin er auch kommen mag ."
So the magicians fell down prostrate. They said: "We believe in the Lord of Harun (Aaron) and Musa (Moses)."
And the magicians were cast down making obeisance; they said: We believe in the Lord of Haroun and Musa.
Da warfen sich die Zauberer ehrerbietig nieder. Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn Haruns und Musas."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Believe you in him [Musa (Moses)] before I give you permission? Verily he is your chief who has taught you magic. So I will surely cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of date-palms, and you shall surely know which of us [I (Fir'aun - Pharaoh) or the Lord of Musa (Moses) (Allah)] can give the severe and more lasting torment."
(Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment, therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of us is the more severe and the more abiding in chastising.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Ihr glaubt an ihn, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Er ist wahrlich euer Ältester, der euch die Zauberei gelehrt hat. So werde ich ganz gewiß eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch ganz gewiß an Palmstämmen kreuzigen (lassen). Und ihr werdet ganz gewiß erfahren, wer von uns strenger im Strafen und beständiger ist."
They said: "We prefer you not over what have come to us of the clear signs and to Him (Allah) Who created us. So decree whatever you desire to decree, for you can only decree (regarding) this life of the world.
They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden dich nicht dem vorziehen, was an klaren Beweisen zu uns gekommen ist, und (vor) Demjenigen, Der uns erschaffen hat. So entscheide, was du entscheiden magst; du entscheidest nur über dieses irdische Leben.
"Verily we have believed in our Lord, that He may forgive us our faults, and the magic to which you did compel us. And Allah is better as regards reward in comparison to your [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] reward, and more lasting (as regards punishment in comparison to your punishment)."
Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us; and Allah is better and more abiding.
Wir glauben an unseren Herrn, damit Er uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe und (auch) die Zauberei, zu der du uns gezwungen hast. Allah ist besser und be ständiger."
Verily whoever comes to his Lord as a Mujrim (criminal, polytheist, sinner, in the Oneness of Allah and His Messengers), then surely, for him is Hell, wherein he will neither die nor live.
Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live.
Gewiß, wer zu seinem Herrn als Übeltäter kommt, für den gibt es die Hölle; darin wird er weder sterben noch leben.
But whoever comes to Him (Allah) as a believer (in the Oneness of Allah), and has done righteous good deeds, for such are the high ranks (in the Hereafter), -
And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,
Wer zu Ihm als Gläubiger kommt, der rechtschaffene Werke getan hat, für jene gibt es die höchsten Rangstufen,
'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), under which rivers flow, wherein they will abide forever: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allah has forbidden and by doing all that Allah has ordained).
The gardens of perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein; and this is the reward of him who has purified himself.
die Gärten Edens, durcheilt von Bächen; ewig darin zu bleiben. Das ist der Lohn desjenigen, der sich läutert.
And indeed We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Travel by night with Ibadi (My slaves) and strike a dry path for them in the sea, fearing neither to be overtaken [by Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] nor being afraid (of drowning in the sea)."
And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.
Und Wir gaben Musa ja (als Offenbarung) ein: "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort und schlage ihnen einen trockenen Weg durch das Meer; du befürch test weder, eingeholt zu werden, noch hast du Angst'."
Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) pursued them with his hosts, but the sea-water completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came upon them of the sea that which came upon them.
Da verfolgte sie Fir'aun mit seinen Heerscharen, und es überdeckte sie vom Meer, was sie überdeckte.
And Fir'aun (Pharaoh) led his people astray, and he did not guide them.
And Firon led astray his people and he did not guide (them) aright.
Fir'aun hatte sein Volk in die Irre geführt und nicht rechtgeleitet.
O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the right side of the Mount, and We sent down to you Al-Manna and quails,
O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of the mountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails.
O Kinder Isra'ils, Wir retteten euch ja vor eurem Feind, verabredeten Uns mit euch auf der rechten Seite des Berges und sandten das Manna und die Wachteln auf euch hinab:
(Saying) eat of the Tayyibat (good lawful things) wherewith We have provided you, and commit no transgression or oppression therein, lest My Anger should justly descend on you. And he on whom My Anger descends, he is indeed perished. [Tafsir At-Tabari]
Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed.
"Eßt von den guten Dingen, mit denen Wir euch versorgt haben, und lehnt euch dabei nicht (durch Undankbarkeit) auf, sonst bricht Mein Zorn über euch herein; denn derjenige, über den Mein Zorn hereinbricht, wird sicherlich stürzen.
And verily, I am indeed forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death).
And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does good, then continues to follow the right direction.
Und Ich bin wahrlich Allvergebend für denjenigen, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt und sich hierauf rechtleiten läßt."
"And what made you hasten from your people, O Musa (Moses)?"
And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa?
Und was hat dich veranlaßt, von deinem Volk fortzueilen, o Musa?
He said: "They are close on my footsteps: and I hastened to You, O my Lord, that You might be pleased."
He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.
Er sagte: "Sie folgen mir doch auf der Spur. Und ich bin zu Dir geeilt, mein Herr, damit Du (mit mir) zufrieden seiest."
(Allah) said: "Verily We have tried your people in your absence, and As-Samiri has led them astray."
He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray.
Er sagte: "Wir haben dein Volk der Versuchung ausgesetzt, nachdem du (weggegangen) warst, und der Samiri hat sie in die Irre geführt."
Then Musa (Moses) returned to his people in a state of anger and sorrow. He said: "O my people! Did not your Lord promise you a fair promise? Did then the promise seem to you long in coming? Or did you desire that wrath should descend from your Lord on you, that you broke your promise to me (i.e disbelieving in Allah and worshipping the calf)?"
So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?
Da kam Musa zu seinem Volk zornig und bekümmert zurück. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, hat euch euer Herr nicht ein schönes Versprechen gegeben? Dauerte es euch mit dem Bund zu lange, oder wolltet ihr, daß Zorn von eurem Herrn über euch hereinbricht, so daß ihr die Vereinbarung mit mir gebrochen habt?"
They said: "We broke not the promise to you, of our own will, but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh)] people, then we cast them (into the fire), and that was what As-Samiri suggested."
They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest.
Sie sagten: "Wir haben die Vereinbarung mit dir nicht aus unserem (eigenen) Willen gebrochen, sondern wir trugen (ganze) Lasten von den Schmucksachen des Volkes, und dann haben wir sie geworfen, und ebenso hat der Samiri (welche) hineingelegt.
Then he took out (of the fire) for them (a statue of) a calf which seemed to low. They said: "This is your ilah (god), and the ilah (god) of Musa (Moses), but he [Musa (Moses)] has forgotten (his god).'"
So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which had a mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god of Musa, but he forgot.
So brachte er ihnen ein Kalb hervor als Leib, das blökte. Sie sagten: ,Das ist euer Gott und der Gott Musas, aber er hat (es) vergessen'."
Did they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them?
Sehen sie denn nicht, daß er ihnen kein Wort erwidert und ihnen weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermag?
And Harun (Aaron) indeed had said to them beforehand: "O my people! You are being tried in this, and verily, your Lord is (Allah) the Most Gracious, so follow me and obey my order."
And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order.
Harun hatte ihnen ja bereits zuvor gesagt: "O mein Volk, ihr seid damit nur der Versuchung ausgesetzt worden. Gewiß, euer Herr ist der Allerbarmer; so folgt mir und gehorcht meinem Befehl."
They said: "We will not stop worshipping it (i.e. the calf), until Musa (Moses) returns to us."
They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden nicht davon ablassen, uns seiner Andacht hinzugeben, bis Musa zu uns zurückkehrt."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "O Harun (Aaron)! What prevented you when you saw them going astray;
(Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
Er (Musa) sagte: "O Harun, was hat dich, als du sie irregehen sahst, davon abgehalten,
"That you followed me not (according to my advice to you)? Have you then disobeyed my order?"
So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order?
mir zu folgen? Hast du dich denn meinem Befehl widersetzt? "
He [Harun (Aaron)] said: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard, nor by my head! Verily, I feared lest you should say: 'You have caused a division among the Children of Israel, and you have not respected my word!' "
He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word.
Er sagte: "O Sohn meiner Mutter, pack mich nicht am Bart und nicht am Kopf. Ich fürchtete, du würdest sagen: ,Du hast unter den Kindern Isra'ils Zwietracht gestiftet und mein Wort nicht beachtet'."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "And what is the matter with you. O Samiri? (i.e. why did you do so?)"
He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?
Er sagte: "Doch was ist mit dir, o Samiri?"
(Samiri) said: "I saw what they saw not, so I took a handful (of dust) from the (hoof) print of the messenger [Jibril's (Gabriel) horse] and threw it [into the fire in which were put the ornaments of Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, or into the calf]. Thus my inner-self suggested to me."
He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me
Er sagte: "Ich gewahrte, was sie nicht gewahrten, und so faßte ich eine Handvoll (Erde) von der Spur des Gesandten und warf sie dann hin (ins Feuer). So habe ich es mir selbst eingeredet."
Musa (Moses) said: "Then go away! And verily, your (punishment) in this life will be that you will say: "Touch me not (i.e. you will live alone exiled away from mankind); and verily (for a future torment), you have a promise that will not fail. And look at your ilah (god) to which you have been devoted. We will certainly burn it, and scatter its particles in the sea."
He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.
Er sagte: "Geh weg! Es ist dir im Leben beschieden, zu sagen: .Berührt mich nicht! Und du hast eine Verabredung, die dir nicht gebrochen wird. Und schau auf deinen Gott, dessen Andacht du dich dauernd hingegeben hast. Wir werden ihn ganz gewiß verbrennen, und hierauf werden wir ihn ganz gewiß in das große Gewässer streuen.
Your Ilah (God) is only Allah, (the One) La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). He has full knowledge of all things.
Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge.
Euer Gott ist allein Allah, außer Dem es keinen Gott gibt. Er umfaßt alles mit (Seinem) Wissen."
Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a Reminder (this Qur'an).
Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves.
Auf diese Weise erzählen Wir dir (einiges) von den Berichten dessen, was früher geschah. Und Wir haben dir ja von Uns aus eine Ermahnung gegeben.
Whoever turns away from it (this Qur'an - i.e. does not believe in it, nor acts on its orders), verily, they will bear a heavy burden (of sins) on the Day of Resurrection,
Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection
Wer sich davon abwendet, der wird am Tag der Auferstehung eine (drückende) Last tragen,
They will abide in that (state in the Fire of Hell) - and evil indeed will it be that load for them on the Day of Resurrection;
Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection;
ewig darin zu bleiben. Wie böse wird (dies) für sie am Tag der Auferstehung als Last sein!
The Day when the Trumpet will be blown (the second blowing): that Day, We shall gather the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) blue or blind-eyed with thirst.
On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue - eyed, on that day
Am Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und Wir die Übeltäter als Leute mit blauen Augen versammeln.
They will speak in a very low voice to each other (saying): "You stayed not longer than ten (days)."
They shall consult together secretly: You did tarry but ten (centuries).
Sie flüstern einander zu: "Ihr habt nur zehn (Nächte) verweilt."
We know very well what they will say, when the best among them in knowledge and wisdom will say: "You stayed no longer than a day!"
We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day.
Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie sagen, wenn der Vorbildlichste von ihnen in seinem Verhalten sagen wird: "Ihr habt nur einen Tag verweilt."
And they ask you concerning the mountains: say, "My Lord will blast them and scatter them as particles of dust.
And they ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord will carry them away from the roots.
Sie fragen dich nach den Bergen. Sag: Mein Herr wird sie wie Staub zerstreuen
"Then He shall leave them as a level smooth plain.
Then leave it a plain, smooth level
und sie dann als leere Ebene zurücklassen,
"You will see therein nothing crooked or curved."
You shall not see therein any crookedness or unevenness.
worauf du weder eine Vertiefung noch Erhebung siehst.
On that Day mankind will follow strictly (the voice of) Allah's caller, no crookedness (that is without going to the right or left of that voice) will they show him (Allah's caller). And all voices will be humbled for the Most Gracious (Allah), and nothing shall you hear but the low voice of their footsteps.
On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is no crookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.
An jenem Tag folgen sie dem Rufer, bei dem es nichts Krummes gibt; die Stimmen senken sich in Demut vor dem Allerbarmer, so daß du nichts hörst außer Flüstern.
On that day no intercession shall avail, except the one for whom the Most Gracious (Allah) has given permission and whose word is acceptable to Him.
On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.
An jenem Tag nützt die Fürsprache nicht, außer durch denjenigen, dem es der Allerbarmer erlaubt und mit dessen Worten Er zufrieden ist.
He (Allah) knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them (in the Hereafter) but they will never compass anything of His Knowledge.
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, while they do not comprehend it in knowledge.
Er weiß, was vor ihnen und was hinter ihnen liegt, sie aber umfassen es nicht mit (ihrem) Wissen.
And (all) faces shall be humbled before (Allah), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists). And he who carried (a burden of) wrongdoing (i.e. he who disbelieved in Allah, ascribed partners to Him, and did deeds of His disobedience), will be indeed a complete failure (on that Day).
And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self - subsistent Allah, and he who bears iniquity is indeed a failure.
Demütig werden sich die Gesichter vor dem Lebendigen und Beständigen senken. Und wirklich enttäuscht wird, wer (als Last begangenes) Unrecht trägt.
And he who works deeds of righteousness, while he is a believer (in Islamic Monotheism), then he will have no fear of injustice, nor of any curtailment (of his reward).
And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shall have no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.
Wer aber etwas an rechtschaffenen Werken tut und dabei gläubig ist, der wird kein Unrecht und keine (Lohn)minderung befürchten.
And thus We have sent it down as a Qur'an in Arabic, and have explained therein in detail the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause them to have a lesson from it (or to have the honour for believing and acting on its teachings).
And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.
Und so haben Wir ihn als einen arabischen Qur'an hinabgesandt. Und Wir haben darin verschiedene Androhungen dargelegt, auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen oder er bei ihnen Gedenken (Allahs) hervorrufe.
Then High above all be Allah, the True King. And be not in haste (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) with the Qur'an before its revelation is completed to you, and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."
Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth, and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation is made complete to you and say: O my Lord! increase me in knowledge.
Erhaben ist Allah, der König, der Wahre! Und übereile dich nicht mit dem Qur'an, bevor dir seine Offenbarung vollständig eingegeben worden ist. Und sag: Mein Herr, lasse mich an Wissen zunehmen.
And indeed We made a covenant with Adam before, but he forgot, and We found on his part no firm will-power.
And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination.
Und Wir hatten bereits zuvor Adam eine Verpflichtung auferlegt. Aber er vergaß (sie), und Wir fanden bei ihm keine Entschlossenheit.
And (remember) when We said to the angels: "Prostrate yourselves to Adam." They prostrated themselves (all) except Iblis (Satan) he refused.
And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam, they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not); he refused.
Und als Wir zu den Engeln sagten: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder." Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis. Er weigerte sich.
Then We said: "O Adam! Verily, this is an enemy to you and to your wife. So let him not get you both out of Paradise, so that you will be distressed.
So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy;
Da sagten Wir: "O Adam, dieser (da) ist dir und deiner Gattin gewiß ein Feind. Daß er euch beide ja nicht aus dem (Paradies)garten vertreibt! Sonst wirst du unglücklich sein.
Verily, you have (a promise from Us) that you will never be hungry therein nor naked.
Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungry therein nor bare of clothing;
Gewiß, es ist dir gewährt, daß du darin weder hungerst noch nackt bist,
And you (will) suffer not from thirst therein nor from the sun's heat.
And that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feel the heat of the sun.
und daß du darin weder dürstest noch Sonnenhitze erleidest."
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying: "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that will never waste away?"
But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?
Aber da flüsterte ihm der Satan ein und sagte: "O Adam, soll ich dich auf den Baum der Ewigkeit hinweisen und auf eine Herrschaft, die nicht vergeht?"
Then they both ate of the tree, and so their private parts became manifest to them, and they began to cover themselves with the leaves of the Paradise for their covering. Thus did Adam disobey his Lord, so he went astray.
Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).
So aßen sie beide davon, und da zeigte sich ihnen ihre Blöße offenkundig, und sie begannen, Blätter des (Paradies)gartens auf sich zusammenzuheften. So widersetzte Adam sich seinem Herrn, und da fiel er in Verirrung.
Then his Lord chose him, and turned to him with forgiveness, and gave him guidance.
Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).
Hierauf erwählte ihn sein Herr, und so wandte Er Sich ihm Reue-Annehmend zu und leitete (ihn) recht.
He (Allah) said: "Get you down (from the Paradise to the earth), both of you, together, some of you are an enemy to some others. Then if there comes to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My Guidance he shall neither go astray, nor shall be distressed.
He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;
Er sagte: "Geht alle fort von ihm. Einige von euch seien des anderen Feind. Doch wenn dann von Mir Rechtleitung zu euch kommt, dann wird derjenige, der Meiner Rechtleitung folgt, nicht irregehen und nicht unglücklich sein.
"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its teachings.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection."
And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be a straitened life, and We will raise him on the day of resurrection, blind.
Wer sich aber von Meiner Ermahnung abwendet, der wird ein beengtes Leben fuhren, und Wir werden ihn am Tag der Auferstehung blind (zu den anderen) versammeln.
He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)."
He shall say: My Lord! why hast Thou raised me blind and I was a seeing one indeed?
Er wird sagen: "Mein Herr, warum hast Du mich blind (zu den anderen) versammelt, wo ich doch sehen konnte?"
(Allah) will say: "Like this: Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came unto you, but you disregarded them (i.e. you left them, did not think deeply in them, and you turned away from them), and so this Day, you will be neglected (in the Hell-fire, away from Allah's Mercy)."
He will say: Even so, Our communications came to you but you neglected them; even thus shall you be forsaken this day.
Er sagt: "So sind auch zu dir Unsere Zeichen gekommen, und doch hast du sie vergessen. Ebenso wirst du heute vergessen."
And thus do We requite him who transgresses beyond bounds [i.e. commits the great sins and disobeys his Lord (Allah) and believes not in His Messengers, and His revealed Books, like this Qur'an], and believes not in the Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of his Lord; and the torment of the Hereafter is far more severe and more lasting.
And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and does not believe in the communications of his Lord, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is severer and more
So vergelten Wir demjenigen, der maßlos ist und nicht an die Zeichen seines Herrn glaubt. Die Strafe des Jenseits ist wahrlich strenger und nachhaltiger.
Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many generations We have destroyed before them, in whose dwellings they walk? Verily, in this are signs indeed for men of understanding.
Does it not then direct them aright how many of the generations In whose dwelling - places they go about We destroyed before them? Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
Ist ihnen denn nicht deutlich geworden, wie viele Geschlechter Wir vor ihnen vernichtet haben, in deren Wohnorten sie (nun) umhergehen? Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
And had it not been for a Word that went forth before from your Lord, and a term determined, (their punishment) must necessarily have come (in this world).
And had there not been a word (that had) already gone forth from your Lord and an appointed term, it would surely have been made to cleave (to them).
Wenn es nicht ein schon früher ergangenes Wort von deinem Herrn und eine festgesetzte Frist gäbe, wäre (die sofortige Strafe) fürwahr unabwendbar.
So bear patiently (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what they say, and glorify the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before its setting, and during some hours of the night, and at the ends of the day (an indication for the five compulsory congregational prayers), that you may become pleased (with the reward which Allah shall give you).
Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord by the praising of Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) and during parts of the day, that you may be well pleased
So ertrage standhaft, was sie sagen, und lobpreise deinen Herrn vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor ihrem Untergang, und zu (verschiedenen) Stunden der Nacht preise (Ihn) und (ebenso) an den Enden des Tages, auf daß du zufrieden sein mögest.
And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to various groups of them (polytheists and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah), the splendour of the life of this world, that We may test them thereby. But the provision (good reward in the Hereafter) of your Lord is better and more lasting.
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more abiding.
Und richte nur nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren - den Glanz des diesseitigen Lebens -, um sie darin der Versuchung auszusetzen. Die Versorgung deines Herrn ist besser und beständiger.
And enjoin As-Salat (the prayer) on your family, and be patient in offering them [i.e. the Salat (prayers)]. We ask not of you a provision (i.e. to give Us something: money): We provide for you. And the good end (i.e. Paradise) is for the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
Und befiehl deinen Angehörigen, das Gebet (zu verrichten), und sei beharrlich darin. Wir fordern keine Versorgung von dir; Wir versorgen dich. Und das (gute) Ende gehört der Gottesfurcht.
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign (proof) from his Lord?" Has there not come to them the proof of that which is (written) in the former papers [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurat (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم]?
And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is in the previous books?
Und sie sagen: "Wenn er uns doch ein Zeichen von seinem Herrn bringen würde!" Ist nicht zu ihnen der klare Beweis dessen gekommen, was auf den früheren Blättern steht?
And if We had destroyed them with a torment before this (i.e. Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and the Qur'an), they would surely have said: "Our Lord! If only You had sent us a Messenger, we should certainly have followed Your Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), before we were humiliated and disgraced."
And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this, they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us an apostle, for then we should have followed Thy communications before that we met disgrace and shame.
Hätten Wir sie vor ihm durch eine Strafe vernichtet, hätten sie fürwahr gesagt: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können, bevor wir erniedrigt und in Schande gestürzt würden!"
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Each one (believer and .) is waiting, so wait you too; and you shall know who are they that are on the Straight and Even Path (i.e. Allah's religion of Islamic Monotheism), and who are they that have let themselves be guided (on the Right Path).
Say: Every one (of us) is awaiting, therefore do await: So you will come to know who is the follower of the even path and who goes aright.
Sag: Jeder wartet ab; so wartet auch (ihr) ab. Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wer die Leute des ebenen Weges sind und wer rechtgeleitet ist.
