Chapter 37, 182 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By those (angels) ranged in ranks (or rows).
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
By those (angels) who drive the clouds in a good way.
Then those who drive away with reproof,
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
By those (angels) who bring the Book and the Qur'an from Allah to mankind [Tafsir Ibn Kathir].
Then those who recite, being mindful,
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!
Verily your Ilah (God) is indeed One (i.e. Allah):
Most surely your Allah is One:
Euer Gott ist wahrlich ein Einziger,
Lord of the heavens and of the earth, and all that is between them, and Lord of every point of the sun's risings.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, und der Herr der Osten.
Verily We have adorned the near heaven with the stars (for beauty).
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
Wir haben den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern';
And to guard against every rebellious devil.
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
They cannot listen to the higher group (angels) for they are pelted from every side.
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
So können sie der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
Outcast, and theirs is a constant (or painful) torment.
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es immerwährende Strafe geben -,
Except such as snatch away something by stealing, and they are pursued by a flaming fire of piercing brightness.
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
außer jemandem, der rasch etwas aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
Nay, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) wondered (at their insolence) while they mock (at you and at the Qur'an).
Nay! you wonder while they mock,
Aber nein! Du wunderst dich, während sie spotten.
And when they are reminded, they pay no attention.
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
Und wenn sie ermahnt werden, gedenken sie nicht.
And when they see an Ayah (a sign, or an evidence) from Allah, they mock at it.
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
Und wenn sie ein Zeichen sehen, spotten sie darüber.
And they say: "This is nothing but evident magic!
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
Und sie sagen: "Das ist nur deutliche Zauberei.
"When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we (then) verily be resurrected?
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
"And also our fathers of old?"
Or our fathers of yore?
Und auch unsere Vorväter?"
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Yes, and you shall then be humiliated."
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
Sag: Ja, und ihr werdet euch demütig verhalten.
It will be a single Zajrah [shout (i.e. the second blowing of the Trumpet)], and behold, they will be staring!
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein, da schauen sie sogleich hin.
They will say: "Woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense!"
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
Und sie werden sagen: "O wehe uns! Das ist der Tag des Gerichts!"
(It will be said): "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
- "Das ist der Tag der Entscheidung, den ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet.
(It will be said to the angels): "Assemble those who did wrong, together with their companions (from the devils) and what they used to worship,
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
- (Zu den Engeln des Gerichts wird gesagt:) Versammelt (nun) diejenigen, die Unrecht getan haben, ihre Gattinnen und das, dem sie dienten
"Instead of Allah, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell);
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
anstatt Allahs. Dann leitet sie zum Weg des Höllenbrandes
"But stop them, verily they are to be questioned.
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
und stellt sie auf, denn sie werden befragt werden."
"What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?"
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
- (Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt:) "Was ist mit euch, daß ihr einander nicht unterstützt?"
Nay, but that Day they shall surrender.
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
Nein! Vielmehr ergeben sie sich heute.
And they will turn to one another and question one another.
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
Und sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, enjoin on us polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islamic Monotheism and from every good deed]."
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
Sie sagen: "Ihr kamt doch zu uns (stets) von rechts her'."
They will reply: "Nay, you yourselves were not believers.
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
Sie sagen: "Aber nein! Ihr wart ja nicht gläubig.
"And we had no authority over you. Nay! But you were Taghun (transgressing) people (polytheists, and disbelievers).
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
Wir aber hatten keine Macht über euch, sondern vielmehr wart ihr Leute, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten.
"So now the Word of our Lord has been justified against us, that we shall certainly (have to) taste (the torment).
So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
So ist das Wort unseres Herrn gegen uns unvermeidlich fällig geworden. Wir werden bestimmt (die Strafe) kosten.
"So we led you astray because we were ourselves astray."
So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
Und so haben wir euch in Verirrung fallen lassen, denn wir waren ja selbst in Verirrung gefallen."
Then verily, that Day, they will (all) share in the torment.
So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
Gewiß denn, an jenem Tag werden sie an der(selben) Strafe teilhaben.
Certainly, that is how We deal with Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, sinners, disbelievers, criminals, the disobedient to Allah).
Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
Gewiß, so verfahren Wir mit den Übeltätern,
Truly, when it was said to them: La ilaha illallah "(none has the right to be worshipped but Allah)," they puffed themselves up with pride (i.e. denied it).
Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
denn sie pflegten, wenn zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah", sich hochmütig zu verhalten,
And (they) said: "Are we going to abandon our alihah (gods) for the sake of a mad poet?"
And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
und sagten: "Sollen wir denn wahrlich unsere Götter verlassen wegen eines besessenen Dichters?"
Nay! he (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) has come with the truth (i.e. Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism and this Qur'an) and he confirms the Messengers (before him who brought Allah's religion - Islamic Monotheism).
Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.
Nein! Vielmehr ist er mit der Wahrheit gekommen und hat die Gesandten bestätigt.
Verily, you (pagans of Makkah) are going to taste the painful torment;
Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
Ihr werdet bestimmt die schmerzhafte Strafe kosten,
And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allah's disobedience which you used to do in this world)
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
und euch wird nur das vergolten, was ihr zu tun pflegtet,
Save the chosen slaves of Allah (i.e. the true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
Save the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
For them there will be a known provision (in Paradise),
For them is a known sustenance,
Für diese wird es eine festgesetzte Versorgung geben:
Fruits; and they shall be honoured,
Fruits, and they shall be highly honored,
Früchte, und sie werden geehrt
In the Gardens of delight (Paradise),
In gardens of pleasure,
in den Gärten der Wonne
Facing one another on thrones.
On thrones, facing each other.
auf Liegen (ruhend), einander gegenüber,
Round them will be passed a cup of pure wine -
A bowl shall be made to go round them from water running out of springs,
wobei ihnen ein Becher (voll) Quellwasser herumgereicht wird,
White, delicious to the drinkers.
White, delicious to those who drink.
weiß, köstlich für diejenigen, die (daraus) trinken.
Neither will they have Ghoul (any kind of hurt, abdominal pain, headache, a sin) from that, nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
There shall be no trouble in it, nor shall they be exhausted therewith.
Darin steckt nichts Beeinträchtigendes, und dadurch werden sie nicht benommen.
And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf [chaste females (wives), restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands)], with wide and beautiful eyes.
And with them shall be those who restrain the eyes, having beautiful eyes;
Und bei ihnen sind solche (weiblichen Wesen), die ihre Blicke zurückhalten, mit schönen, großen Augen,
(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved.
As if they were eggs carefully protected.
als ob sie wohlverwahrte Eier wären.
Then they will turn to one another, mutually questioning.
Then shall some of them advance to others, questioning each other.
Sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
A speaker of them will say: "Verily, I had a companion (in the world),
A speaker from among them shall say: Surely I had a comrade of mine,
Einer von ihnen sagt: "Gewiß, ich hatte einen Gesellen,
Who used to say: "Are you among those who believe (in resurrection after death).
Who said: What! are you indeed of those who accept (the truth)?
der da sagte: .Gehörst du wirklich zu denjenigen, die es für wahr halten?
"(That) when we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed (be raised up) to receive reward or punishment (according to our deeds)?"
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then be certainly brought to judgment?
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich vor Gericht gestellt werden'?"
(The speaker) said: "Will you look down?"
He shall say: Will you look on?
Er sagt: "Wollt ihr denn hinschauen?"
So he looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.
Then he looked down and saw him in the midst of hell.
Er schaut selbst hin und sieht ihn mitten im Höllenbrand.
He said: "By Allah! You have nearly ruined me.
He shall say: By Allah! you had almost caused me to perish;
Er sagt: "Bei Allah, beinahe hättest du mich fürwahr ins Verderben gestürzt.
"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought forth (to Hell)."
And had it not been for the favor of my Lord, I would certainly have been among those brought up.
Und ohne die Gnade meines Herrn würde ich nun wahrlich zu den Vorgeführten gehören.
(The dwellers of Paradise will say) "Are we then not to die (any more)?
Is it then that we are not going to die,
Werden wir tatsächlich nicht mehr sterben,
Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."
Except our previous death? And we shall not be chastised?
außer unserem ersten Tod, und gehören wir tatsächlich nicht zu den Bestraften?"
Truly, this is the supreme success!
Most surely this is the mighty achievement.
Das ist doch wahrlich der großartige Erfolg!
For the like of this let the workers work.
For the like of this then let the workers work.
Für ein Solches sollen diejenigen, die handeln, (ihre Werke) tun.
Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?
Is this better as an entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum?
Ist dies als gastliche Aufnahme besser oder der Zaqqum-Baum?
Truly We have made it (as) a trail for the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers, wrong-doers).
Surely We have made it to be a trial to the unjust.
Den haben Wir zu einer Versuchung für die Ungerechten gemacht.
Verily, it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-fire,
Surely it is a tree that - grows in the bottom of the hell;
Er ist ein Baum, der im Grund des Höllenbrandes hervorkommt,
The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of Shayatin (devils);
Its produce is as it were the heads of the serpents.
dessen Fruchtscheide so ist, als wären es Köpfe von Satanen.
Truly, they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
Then most surely they shall eat of it and fill (their) bellies with it.
Sie werden wahrlich davon essen und werden (sich) so davon die Bäuche füllen.
Then on the top of that they will be given boiling water to drink so that it becomes a mixture (of boiling water and Zaqqum in their bellies).
Then most surely they shall have after it to drink of a mixture prepared in boiling water.
Hierauf erhalten sie fürwahr eine Mischung von heißem Wasser.
Then thereafter, verily, their return is to the flaming fire of Hell.
Then most surely their return shall be to hell.
Hierauf kehren sie fürwahr zum Höllenbrand zurück.
Verily, they found their fathers on the wrong path;
Surely they found their fathers going astray,
Sie haben ja ihre Väter im Irrtum vorgefunden,
So they (too) hastened in their footsteps!
So in their footsteps they are being hastened on.
und so sind sie auf ihren Spuren eilig getrieben worden.
And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;
And certainly most of the ancients went astray before them,
Vor ihnen sind bereits die meisten der Früheren abgeirrt,
And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);
And certainly We sent among them warners.
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).
Then see how was the end of those warned,
So schau, wie das Ende der Gewarnten war,
Except the chosen slaves of Allah (faithful, obedient, and true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
Except the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesener Diener.
And indeed Nuh (Noah) invoked Us, and We are the Best of those who answer (the request).
And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We.
Und Nuh rief Uns ja bereits zu - welch trefflicher Erhörer sind Wir fürwahr!
And We rescued him and his family from the great distress (i.e. drowning),
And We delivered him and his followers from the mighty 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 We made his offspring the survivors.
und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
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 and salutation to Nuh among the nations.
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!
Verily, thus We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Thus do We surely reward the doers of good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he [Nuh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.
Surely he was of Our believing servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).
Then We drowned 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 most surely Ibrahim followed his way.
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 to his Lord with a free 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 to his father and his people: What is it that you 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?
A lie - - gods besides Allah - - do you 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 is then your idea about the Lord of the worlds?
Welche Meinung habt ihr denn vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner?"
Then he cast a glance at the stars,
Then he looked at the stars, looking up once,
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 he said: Surely I am sick (of your worshipping these).
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).
So they went away from him, turning back.
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 he turned aside to their gods secretly and said: What! do you 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 is the matter with you that you do not speak?
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht redet?"
Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.
Then he turned against them secretly, smiting them with the 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.
So they (people) advanced towards him, hastening.
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?
Said he: What! do you worship what you hew out?
Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
"While Allah has created you and what you make!"
And Allah has created you and what you 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 furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
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 desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
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: Surely I fly to my lord; He 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! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
So We gave him the glad tidings of a forbearing boy.
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
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 he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
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);
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
We called out to him: "O Abraham!
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
You have fulfilled the dream!" Verily thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See 2:112).
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, that indeed was a manifest trial.
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Ibrahim (Abraham)!"
Peace be on Ibrahim.
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
Thus indeed do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
And We gave him the glad tidings of Ishaq (Isaac) - a Prophet from the righteous.
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
Und Wir verkündeten ihm Ishaq als einen Propheten von den Rechtschaffenen.
We blessed him and Ishaq (Isaac). And of their progeny are (some) that do right, and some that plainly wrong themselves.
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
Und Wir segneten ihn und Ishaq. Unter ihrer Nachkommenschaft gibt es manche, die Gutes tun, und manche, die sich selbst offenkundig Unrecht zufügen.
And, indeed We gave Our Grace to Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron).
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
Und Wir erwiesen bereits Musa und Harun eine Wohltat
And We saved them and their people from the great distress,
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
und erretteten sie beide und ihr Volk aus der großen Trübsal.
And helped them, so that they became the victors;
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
Und Wir halfen ihnen, da waren sie es, die Sieger wurden.
And We gave them the clear Scripture;
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
Und Wir gaben ihnen beiden die verdeutlichende Schrift
And guided them to the Right Path.
And We guided them both on the right way.
und leiteten sie den geraden Weg.
And We left for them (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.

Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)!"
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers - See V.2:112).
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, they were two of Our believing slaves.
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
Sie beide gehören ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
And verily, Iliyas (Elias) was one of the Messengers.
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Ilyas gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
When he said to his people: "Will you not fear Allah?
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
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,
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
"Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
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 called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations.
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Ilyasin (Elias)!"
Peace be on Ilyas.
Friede sei auf Ilyas!
Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah's sake only - See V.2:112).
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
And verily, Lut (Lot) was one of the Messengers.
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Lut gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
When We saved him and his family, all,
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
Als Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen allesamt erretteten,
Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
Then We destroyed the rest (the town of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea now in Palestine).
Then We destroyed the others.
Hierauf vertilgten Wir die anderen.
Verily, you pass by them in the morning
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
Ihr kommt ja an ihnen vorbei, bei Tagesanbruch
And at night; will you not then reflect?
And at night; do you not then understand?
und bei Nacht. Begreift ihr denn nicht?'
And, verily, Yunus (Jonah) was one of the Messengers.
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
Auch Yunus gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
When he ran to the laden ship:
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
Als er zum vollbeladenen Schiff davonlief.
Then he (agreed to) cast lots, and he was among the losers.
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.
Then a (big) fish swallowed him as he had done an act worthy of blame.
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
Had he not been of them who glorify Allah,
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of Resurrection.
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore while he was sick,
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
And We caused a plant of gourd to grow over him.
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (people) or even more.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
And they believed; so We gave them enjoyment for a while.
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
Now ask them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are there (only) daughters for your Lord and sons for them?"
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
"Allah has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
What is the matter with you? How do you decide?
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
Will you not then remember?
Will you not then mind?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Or is there for you a plain authority?
Or have you a clear authority?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
Then bring your Book if you are truthful!
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)
So surely you and what you worship,
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!
Save him who will go to hell.
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:
And surely they used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allah),
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
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!
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so 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 certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
That they verily would be made triumphant,
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,
And turn away from them till a time
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch and they shall see (the torment)!
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
And peace be on the Messengers!
And peace be on the apostles.
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
