Chapter 26, 227 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
Ta Sin Mim.
Ta-Sin-Mim.
These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur'an), which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].
These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) clear.
Dies sind die Zeichen des deutlichen Buches.
It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].
Perhaps you will kill yourself with grief because they do not believe.
Vielleicht magst du dich noch selbst umbringen aus Gram (darüber), daß sie nicht gläubig sind.
If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it.
Wenn Wir woll(t)en, könn(t)en Wir vom Himmel ein Zeichen auf sie hinabsenden, so daß sich ihre Nacken dauernd davor unterwerfen (würden).
And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allah), but they turn away therefrom.
And there does not come to them a new reminder from the Beneficent Allah but they turn aside from it.
Keine neuerlich offenbarte Ermahnung kommt zu ihnen vom Allerbarmer, ohne daß sie sich davon abwenden.
So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.
So they have indeed rejected (the truth), therefore the news of that which they mock shall soon come to them.
Sie haben (sie) ja für Lüge erklärt. So werden zu ihnen die Nachrichten kommen von dem, worüber sie sich lustig zu machen pflegten.
Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?
Do they not see the earth, how many of every noble kind We have caused to grow in it?
Haben sie nicht auf die Erde gesehen, wie viele edle Arten Wir auf ihr haben wachsen lassen?
Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.
Most surely there is a sign in that, but most of them will not believe.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, doch sind die meisten von ihnen nicht gläubig.
And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
Und dein Herr ist fürwahr der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.
And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) -
And when your Lord called out to Musa, saying: Go to the unjust people,
Als dein Herr Musa zurief: "Begib dich zum ungerechten Volk,
"The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?"
The people of Firon: Will they not guard (against evil)?
zum Volk Fir'auns, ob sie nicht gottesfürchtig sein wollen."
He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,
He said: O my Lord! surely I fear that they will reject me;
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich fürchte, daß sie mich der Lüge bezichtigen.
"And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me).
And by breast straitens, and my tongue is not eloquent, therefore send Thou to Haroun (to help me);
Auch ist meine Brust beklommen, und meine Zunge ist nicht gelöst. Darum entsende (auch) Harun.
"And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."
And they have a crime against me, therefore I fear that they may slay me.
Und sie haben gegen mich eine Sünde geltend zu machen; so fürchte ich, daß sie mich töten."
(Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.
He said: By no means, so go you both with Our signs; surely We are with you, hearing;
Er sagte: "Keineswegs! So geht denn beide hin mit Unseren Zeichen. Wir sind mit euch und hören zu.
"And go both of you to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
Then come to Firon and say: Surely we are the apostles of the Lord of the worlds:
Begebt euch zu Fir'aun und sagt: ,Wir sind der Gesandte des Herrn der Weltenbewohner:
"So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' "
Then send with us the children of Israel.
Lasse die Kinder Isra'ils mit uns gehen'."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.
(Firon) said: Did we not bring you up as a child among us, and you tarried among us for (many) years of your life?
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Haben wir dich nicht als kleines Kind unter uns aufgezogen, und hast du dich nicht (viele) Jahre deines Lebens unter uns aufgehalten?
"And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."
And you did (that) deed of yours which you did, and you are one of the ungrateful.
Und du hast deine Tat, die du (damals) getan hast, verübt und gehörst zu den Undankbaren."
Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).
He said: I did it then while I was of those unable to see the right course;
Er sagte: "Ich habe sie da(mals) verübt, als ich (noch) zu den Irregehenden gehörte.
"So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.
So I fled from you when I feared you, then my Lord granted me wisdom and made me of the apostles;
Und so floh ich vor euch, als ich Angst vor euch bekommen hatte. (Doch) dann schenkte mir mein Herr Urteil(skraft) und machte mich zu einem der Gesandten.
"And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."
And is it a favor of which you remind me that you have enslaved the children of Israel?
Ist das (etwa) eine Gunst, die du mir vorhältst, daß du die Kinder lsra'ils geknechtet hast?"
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"
Firon said: And what is the Lord of the worlds?
Fir'aun sagte: "Was ist denn der Herr der Weltenbewohner?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."
He said: The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
Er (Musa) sagte: "Der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr überzeugt seid."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"
(Firon) said to those around him: Do you not hear?
Er (Fir'aun) sagte zu denjenigen in seiner Umgebung: "Hört ihr nicht zu?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"
He said: Your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of old.
Er (Musa) sagte: "(Er ist) euer Herr und der Herr eurer Vorväter."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"
Said he: Most surely your Apostle who is sent to you is mad.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Euer Gesandter, der zu euch gesandt wurde, ist fürwahr besessen."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"
He said: The Lord of the east and the west and what is between them, if you understand.
Er (Musa) sagte: "(Er ist) der Herr des Ostens und des Westens und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr (nur) begreifen würdet."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."
Said he: If you will take a god besides me, I will most certainly make you one of the imprisoned.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Wenn du dir einen anderen Gott als mich nimmst, werde ich dich ganz gewiß zu einem der Gefangenen machen."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"
He said: What! even if I bring to you something manifest?
Er (Musa) sagte: " Etwa auch, wenn ich dir etwas Deutliches bringe?"
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"
Said he: Bring it then, if you are of the truthful ones.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Dann bringe es her, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst."
So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.
So he cast down his rod, and lo! it was an obvious serpent,
Da warf er seinen Stock hin, und sogleich war er eine deutliche Schlange.
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
And he drew forth his hand, and lo! it appeared white to the onlookers.
Und er zog seine Hand heraus, da war sie weiß für die Betrachter.
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.
(Firon) said to the chiefs around him: Most surely this is a skillful magician,
Er (Fir'aun) sagte zu der führenden Schar in seiner Umgebung: "Dieser ist fürwahr ein kenntnisreicher Zauberer,
"He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"
Who desires to turn you out of your land with his magic; what is it then that you advise?
der euch mit seiner Zauberei aus eurem Land vertreiben will. Was befehlt ihr nun?"
They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;
They said: Give him and his brother respite and send heralds into the cities
Sie sagten: "Stelle ihn und seinen Bruder zurück und schicke in die Städte (Boten), die (die Leute) versammeln,
"To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."
That they should bring to you every skillful magician.
damit sie dir jeden kenntnisreichen Zauberer herbringen."
So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.
So the magicians were gathered together at the appointed time on the fixed day,
So wurden die Zauberer auf die festgesetzte Zeit eines (wohl)bekannten Tages versammelt.
And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?
And it was said to the people: Will you gather together?
Und es wurde zu den Menschen gesagt: "Werdet (auch) ihr euch nun wohl versammeln?
"That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."
Haply we may follow the magicians, if they are the vanquishers.
Vielleicht werden wir den Zauberern folgen, wenn sie es sind, die siegen."
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"
And when the magicians came, they said to Firon: Shall we get a reward if we are the vanquishers?
Als die Zauberer kamen, sagten sie zu Fir'aun: "Wir bekommen doch sicher einen Lohn, wenn wir es sind, die siegen?"
He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."
He said: Yes, and surely you will then be of those who are made near.
Er sagte: "Ja. Und ihr werdet dann also fürwahr zu den Nahegestellten gehören."
Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"
Musa said to them: Cast what you are going to cast.
Musa sagte zu ihnen: "Werft hin, was ihr zu werfen habt!"
So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"
So they cast down their cords and their rods and said: By Firon's power, we shall most surely be victorious.
Da warfen sie ihre Stricke und Stöcke hin und sagten: "Bei der Macht Fir'auns, wir werden ganz gewiß Sieger sein."
Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!
Then Musa cast down his staff and lo! it swallowed up the lies they told.
So warf Musa seinen Stock hin, und da verschlang er sogleich, was sie vortäuschten.
And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.
And the magicians were thrown down prostrate;
Da warfen sich die Zauberer ehrerbietig nieder.
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
They said: We believe in the Lord of the worlds:
Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn der Weltenbewohner,
"The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)."
The Lord of Musa and Haroun.
den Herrn von Musa und Harun."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."
Said he: You believe in him before I give you permission; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you the magic, so you shall know: certainly I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and certainly I will crucify you all.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Ihr glaubt ihm, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Er ist wahrlich euer Ältester, der euch die Zauberei gelehrt hat. Ihr werdet (es) wahrlich erfahren. Ganz gewiß werde ich eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch al lesamt ganz gewiß kreuzigen (lassen)."
They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return.
They said: No harm; surely to our Lord we go back;
Sie sagten: "Kein Schaden! Wir werden ganz gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren.
"Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]."
Surely we hope that our Lord will forgive us our wrongs because we are the first of the believers.
Wir erhoffen ja, daß unser Herr uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe dafür, daß wir die ersten (der) Gläubigen sind."
And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."
And We revealed to Musa, saying: Go away with My servants travelling by night, surely you will be pursued.
Und Wir gaben Musa (als Offenbarung) ein: "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort; ihr werdet ja verfolgt werden."
Then Fir'aun (Pharaoh) sent callers to (all) the cities.
So Firon sent heralds into the cities;
Da sandte Fir'aun in die Städte (Boten), die (die Leute) versammelten:
(Saying): "Verily these indeed are but a small band.
Most surely these are a small company;
"Diese sind fürwahr (nur) eine kleine Schar;
"And verily, they have done what has enraged us.
And most surely they have enraged us;
dennoch lassen sie uns fürwahr ergrimmen.
"But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."
And most surely we are a vigilant multitude.
Aber wir sind alle wahrlich auf der Hut."
So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,
So We turned them out of gardens and springs,
So ließen Wir sie fortziehen von Gärten und Quellen,
Treasures, and every kind of honourable place.
And treasures and goodly dwellings,
von Schätzen und von trefflicher Stätte.
Thus [We turned them (Pharaoh's people) out] and We caused the Children of Israel to inherit them.
Even so. And We gave them as a heritage to the children of Israel.
So war es. Und Wir gaben sie den Kindern lsra'ils zum Erbe.
So they pursued them at sunrise.
Then they pursued them at sunrise.
Dann folgten sie ihnen bei Sonnenaufgang.
And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
So when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa cried out: Most surely we are being overtaken.
Als die beiden Heere einander sahen, sagten die Gefährten Musas: "Wir werden fürwahr eingeholt."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."
He said: By no means; surely my Lord is with me: He will show me a way out.
Er sagte: "Keineswegs! Denn mit mir ist mein Herr; Er wird mich leiten."
Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.
Then We revealed to Musa: Strike the sea with your staff. So it had cloven asunder, and each part was like a huge mound.
Da gaben Wir Musa ein: "Schlag mit deinem Stock auf das Meer."
Then We brought near the others [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) party] to that place.
And We brought near, there, the others.
Und Wir ließen die anderen dort nahe herankommen.
And We saved Musa (Moses) and all those with him.
And We saved Musa and those with him, all of them.
Und Wir retteten Musa und diejenigen, die mit ihm waren, allesamt.
Then We drowned the others.
Then We drowned the others.
Hierauf ließen Wir die anderen ertrinken.
Verily in this is indeed a sign (or a proof), yet most of them are not believers.
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, doch die meisten von ihnen sind nicht gläubig.
And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
Und dein Herr ist fürwahr der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.
And recite to them the story of Ibrahim (Abraham).
And recite to them the story of Ibrahim.
Und verlies ihnen die Kunde von Ibrahim.

When he said to his father and his people: What do you worship?
Als er zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Wem dient ihr?"
They said: "We worship idols, and to them we are ever devoted."
They said: We worship idols, so we shall be their votaries.
Sie sagten: "Wir dienen Götzen, und so geben wir uns dauernd ihrer Andacht hin."
He said: "Do they hear you, when you call on (them)?
He said: Do they hear you when you call?
Er sagte: "Hören sie euch, wenn ihr sie anruft?
"Or do they benefit you or do they harm (you)?"
Or do they profit you or cause you harm?
Oder nützen sie euch, oder schaden?"
They said: "(Nay) but we found our fathers doing so."
They said: Nay, we found our fathers doing so.
Sie sagten: "Nein! Vielmehr fanden wir (bereits) unsere Väter desgleichen tun."
He said: "Do you observe that which you have been worshipping -
He said: Have you then considered what you have been worshipping:
Er sagte: "Was meint ihr wohl zu dem, was ihr zu verehren pflegt,
"You and your ancient fathers?
You and your ancient sires.
ihr und eure Vorväter?
"Verily they are enemies to me, save the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
Surely they are enemies to me, but not (so) the Lord of the worlds;
Gewiß, sie sind mir (alle) Feinde, außer dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner,
"Who has created me, and it is He Who guides me.
Who created me, then He has shown me the way:
Der mich erschaffen hat und mich (nun) rechtleitet,
"And it is He Who feeds me and gives me to drink.
And He Who gives me to eat and gives me to drink:
und Der mir zu essen und zu trinken gibt
"And when I am ill, it is He who cures me.
And when I am sick, then He restores me to health
und Der, wenn ich krank bin, mich heilt,
"And Who will cause me to die, and then will bring me to life (again).
And He Who will cause me to die, then give me life;
und Der mich sterben läßt und hierauf wieder lebendig macht,
"And Who, I hope, will forgive me my faults on the Day of Recompense, (the Day of Resurrection).
And Who, I hope, will forgive me my mistakes on the day of judgment.
und von Dem ich erhoffe, daß Er mir am Tag des Gerichts meine Verfehlung vergeben wird.
My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.
My Lord: Grant me wisdom, and join me with the good
Mein Herr, schenke mir Urteil(skraft), und nimm mich unter die Rechtschaffenen auf
And grant me an honourable mention in later generations.
And ordain for me a goodly mention among posterity
Und verleihe mir einen Ruf an Wahrhaftigkeit unter den späteren (Geschlechtern).
And make me one of the inheritors of the Paradise of Delight.
And make me of the heirs of the garden of bliss
Und mach mich zu einem (der) Erben des Gartens der Wonne.
And forgive my father, verily he is of the erring.
And forgive my father, for surely he is of those who have gone astray;
Und vergib meinem Vater, denn er gehört zu den Irregehenden.
And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.
And disgrace me not on the day when they are raised
Und stürze mich nicht in Schande am Tag, da sie auferweckt werden,
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
The day on which property will not avail, nor sons
an dem Tag, da weder Besitz noch Söhne (jemandem) nützen,
Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]."
Except him who comes to Allah with a heart free (from evil).
außer, wer zu Allah mit heilem Herzen kommt."
And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
And the garden shall be brought near for those who guard (against evil),
Und der (Paradies)garten wird an die Gottesfürchtigen nahe herangebracht.
And the (Hell) Fire will be placed in full view of the erring.
And the hell shall be made manifest to the erring ones,
Und zum Erscheinen gebracht wird der Höllenbrand den Verirrten.
And it will be said to them: "Where are those (the false gods whom you used to set up as rivals with Allah) that you used to worship.
And it shall be said to them: Where are those that you used to worship;
Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt: "Wo ist denn das, dem ihr zu dienen pflegtet
"Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"
Besides Allah? Can they help you or yet help themselves?
anstatt Allahs? Können sie euch helfen oder sich selbst helfen?"
Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error).
So they shall be thrown down into it, they and the erring ones,
Dann werden sie kopfüber hineingestürzt, sie und die Verirrten,
And the whole hosts of Iblis (Satan) together.
And the hosts of the Shaitan, all.
und die Heerscharen Iblis allesamt.
They will say while contending therein,
They shall say while they contend therein:
Sie sagen, während sie darin miteinander streiten:
By Allah, we were truly in a manifest error,
By Allah! we were certainly in manifest error,
"Bei Allah, wir befanden uns wahrlich in deutlichem Irrtum,
When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists);
When we made you equal to the Lord of the worlds;
als wir euch dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner gleichsetzten.
And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors].
And none but the guilty led us astray;
Es waren nur die Übeltäter, die uns in die Irre geführt haben.
Now we have no intercessors,
So we have no intercessors,
So haben wir nun niemanden, der Fürsprache einlegt,
Nor a close friend (to help us).
Nor a true friend;
und auch keinen warmherzigen Freund.
(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!
But if we could but once return, we would be of the believers.
Hätten wir doch eine (Möglichkeit zur) Wiederholung, damit wir zu den Gläubigen gehörten!"
Verily in this is indeed a sign, yet most of them are not believers.
Most surely there is a sign in this, but most of them do not believe.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, doch sind die meisten von ihnen nicht gläubig.
And verily, your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
And most surely your Lord is the Mighty, the Merciful.
Und dein Herr ist fürwahr der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.

Sie sagten: "Sollen wir dir glauben, wo dir (nur) die Niedrigsten folgen?"
He said: "And what knowledge have I of what they used to do?
He said: And what knowledge have I of what they do?
Er sagte: "Welches Wissen sollte ich darüber haben, was sie zu tun pflegten?

Their account is only with my Lord, if you could perceive
Ihre Abrechnung obliegt nur meinem Herrn, wenn ihr nur merken würdet!
"And I am not going to drive away the believers.
And I am not going to drive away the believers;

Ich bin nur ein deutlicher Warner."
They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah) you will surely be among those stoned (to death)."
They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death.
Sie sagten: "Wenn du nicht aufhörst, o Nuh, wirst du ganz gewiß zu den Gesteinigten gehören."
He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me.
He said: My Lord! Surely my people give me the lie!
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, gewiß mein Volk hat mich der Lüge bezichtigt.
Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me."
Therefore judge Thou between me and them with a (just) judgment, and deliver me and those who are with me of the believers.
So triff zwischen mir und ihnen eine klare Entscheidung und errette mich und wer von den Gläubigen mit mir ist."
And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
So We delivered him and those with him in the laden ark.
Da retteten Wir ihn und wer mit ihm war im vollbeladenen Schiff.
Then We drowned the rest (disbelievers) thereafter.
Then We drowned the rest afterwards
Hierauf ließen Wir alsdann die übrigen ertrinken.

Ich verlange von euch keinen Lohn dafür. Mein Lohn obliegt nur dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
"Do you build high palaces on every high place, while you do not live in them?
Do you build on every height a monument? Vain is it that you do:
Baut ihr denn auf jeder Anhöhe ein Wahrzeichen und treibt ein sinnloses Spiel

And you make strong fortresses that perhaps you may

And leave what your Lord has created for you of your wives? Nay, you are a people exceeding limits.

Er sagte: "Mein Herr weiß am besten, was ihr tut."
But they belied him, so the torment of the day of shadow (a gloomy cloud) seized them. Indeed that was the torment of a Great Day.
But they called him a liar, so the punishment of the day of covering overtook them; surely it was the punishment of a grievous day.

Und er ist ganz sicher eine Offenbarung des Herrn der Weltenbewohner;
Which the trustworthy Ruh [Jibril (Gabriel)] has brought down
The Faithful Spirit has descended with it,
mit dem der vertrauenswürdige Geist herabgekommen ist
Upon your heart (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) that you may be (one) of the warners,
Upon your heart that you may be of the warners
auf dein Herz, damit du zu den Überbringern von Warnung gehörst,
In the plain Arabic language.
In plain Arabic language.
in deutlicher arabischer Sprache.
And verily, it (the Qur'an, and its revelation to Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is (announced) in the Scriptures [i.e. the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] of former people.
And most surely the same is in the scriptures of the ancients.
Und er ist wahrlich in den Schriften der Früheren (erwähnt).
Is it not a sign to them that the learned scholars (like 'Abdullah bin Salam رضي الله عنه who embraced Islam) of the Children of Israel knew it (as true)?
Is it not a sign to them that the learned men of the Israelites know it?
War es denn kein Zeichen für sie, daß die Gelehrten der Kinder Isra'ils darüber Bescheid wissen?
And if We had revealed it (this Qur'an) unto any of the non-Arabs,
And if we had revealed it to any of the foreigners
Wenn Wir ihn einem der Nichtaraber offenbart hätten
And he had recited it unto them, they would not have believed in it.
So that he should have recited it to them, they would not have believed therein.
und er ihn ihnen vorgelesen hätte, hätten sie nicht daran geglaubt.
Thus have We caused it (the denial of the Qur'an) to enter the hearts of the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners).
Thus have We caused it to enter into the hearts of the guilty.
So haben Wir ihn in die Herzen der Übeltäter einziehen lassen.

Sie glauben nicht eher daran, bis sie die schmerzhafte Strafe sehen

And it shall come to them all of a sudden, while they shall not perceive;
und diese plötzlich über sie kommt, ohne daß sie merken,
Then they will say: "Can we be respited?"

Would they then wish for Our Torment to be hastened on?
What! do they still seek to hasten on Our punishment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
Tell Me, (even) if We do let them enjoy for years,
Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years,
Was meinst du wohl? Wenn Wir sie über Jahre hinweg genießen lassen,
And afterwards comes to them that (punishment) which they had been promised,
Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened,
und hierauf über sie kommt, was ihnen stets angedroht wurde,
All that with which they used to enjoy shall not avail them.
That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?
nicht nützen wird ihnen (dann)', was ihnen an Nießbrauch gewährt wurde.
And never did We destroy a township but it had its warners
And We did not destroy any town but it had (its) warners,
Und Wir vernichteten keine Stadt, ohne daß sie Überbringer von Warnungen gehabt hätte,
By way of reminder, and We have never been unjust.
To remind, and We are never unjust.
(dies) als Ermahnung. Und nie sind Wir ungerecht.
And it is not the Shayatin (devils) who have brought it (this Qur'an) down.
And the Shaitans have not come down with it.
Nicht die Satane sind mit ihm herabgekommen;
Neither would it suit them, nor they can (produce it).
And it behoves them not, and they have not the power to do (it).
es ziemt ihnen nicht, und sie können es (auch) nicht.
Verily, they have been removed far from hearing it.
Most surely they are far removed from the hearing of it.
Sie sind vom Hören fürwahr ausgeschlossen.
So invoke not with Allah another ilah (god) lest you should be among those who receive punishment.

And warn your tribe (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) of near kindred.
And warn your nearest relations,
Und warne die Nächsten deiner Sippe.
And be kind and humble to the believers who follow you.
And be kind to him who follows you of the believers.

And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
And rely on the Mighty, the Merciful,
Und verlasse dich auf den Allmächtigen und Barmherzigen,
Who sees you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).
Who sees you when you stand up.
Der dich sieht, wenn du aufrecht stehst,
And your movements among those who fall prostrate (to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).
And your turning over and over among those who prostrate themselves before Allah.
und deine Stellungswechsel unter denjenigen, die sich niederwerfen.
Verily He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Er ist ja der Allhörende und Allwissende.
Shall I inform you (O people!) upon whom the Shayatin (devils) descend?
Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the Shaitans descend?
Soll ich euch kundtun, auf wen die Satane herabkommen?
They descend on every lying, sinful person.
They descend upon every lying, sinful one,
Sie kommen auf jeden ungeheuerlichen Lügner und Sünder herab.
Who gives ear (to the devils and they pour what they may have heard of the Unseen from the angels), and most of them are liars.
They incline their ears, and most of them are liars.
Sie hören hin, und die meisten von ihnen sind Lügner.
As for the poets, the erring ones follow them,
And as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.
Und die Dichter - es folgen ihnen die Verirrten.
See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?
Do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?
Siehst du nicht, daß sie in jedem Tal ziellos umherwandern
And that they say what they do not do.
And that they say that which they do not do,
und daß sie sagen, was sie nicht tun?
Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)]. And those who do wrong will come to know by what overturning they will be overturned.
Except those who believe and do good and remember Allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.
Außer denjenigen, die glauben, rechtschaffene Werke tun und Allahs häufig gedenken und sich (erst) selbst helfen, nachdem ihnen ja Unrecht zugefügt wurde. Und diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, werden erfahren, was für eine Rückkehr sie haben werden.
