In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Alif-Lam-Ra. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings].

Alif Lam Ra. These are the verses of the Book that makes (things) manifest.
الٓر تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an in order that you may understand.
Wir haben es als einen arabischen Qur'an hinabgesandt, auf daß ihr begreifen möget.
Surely We have revealed it - - an Arabic Quran - - that you may understand.
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
We relate unto you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) the best of stories through Our Revelations unto you, of this Qur'an. And before this (i.e. before the coming of Divine Revelation to you), you were among those who knew nothing about it (the Qur'an).
Wir berichten dir die schönsten Geschichten dadurch, daß Wir dir diesen Qur'an (als Offenbarung) eingegeben haben, obgleich du zuvor wahrlich zu den Unachtsamen gehörtest.
We narrate to you the best of narratives, by Our revealing to you this Quran, though before this you were certainly one of those who did not know.
نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْقَصَصِ بِمَآ أَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْكَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ وَإِن كُنتَ مِن قَبْلِهِۦ لَمِنَ ٱلْغَٰفِلِينَ
(Remember) when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon - I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
Als Yusuf zu seinem Vater sagte: "O mein Vater, ich sah elf Sterne und die Sonne und den Mond, ich sah sie sich vor mir niederwerfen."
When Yusuf said to his father: O my father! surely I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon - - I saw them making obeisance to me.
إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِى سَٰجِدِينَ
He (the father) said: "O my son! Relate not your vision to your brothers, lest they should arrange a plot against you. Verily! Shaitan (Satan) is to man an open enemy!
Er sagt: "O mein lieber Sohn, erzähle dein (Traum)gesicht nicht deinen Brüdern, sonst werden sie eine List gegen dich schmieden. Gewiß, der Satan ist dem Menschen ein deutlicher Feind.
He said: O my son! do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they devise a plan against you; surely the Shaitan is an open enemy to man.
قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخْوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُوا۟ لَكَ كَيْدًا إِنَّ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
"Thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams (and other things) and perfect His Favour on you and on the offspring of Ya'qub (Jacob), as He perfected it on your fathers, Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ishaq (Isaac) aforetime! Verily, your Lord is All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Und so wird dein Herr dich erwählen und dich etwas von der Deutung der Geschichten lehren und Seine Gunst an dir und an der Sippe Ya'qubs vollenden, wie Er sie zuvor an deinen beiden Vätern Ibrahim und lshaq vollendet hat. Gewiß, dein Herr ist Allwissend und Allweise."
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of sayings and make His favor complete to you and to the children of Yaqoub, as He made it complete before to your fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq; surely your Lord is Knowing, Wise.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَجْتَبِيكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُۥ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَىٰٓ ءَالِ يَعْقُوبَ كَمَآ أَتَمَّهَا عَلَىٰٓ أَبَوَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ إِنَّ ر
Verily, in Yusuf (Joseph) and his brethren, there were Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for those who ask.
Wahrlich, in Yusuf und seinen Brüdern sind Zeichen für diejenigen, die (nach der Wahrheit) fragen.
Certainly in Yusuf and his brothers there are signs for the inquirers.
لَّقَدْ كَانَ فِى يُوسُفَ وَإِخْوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ
When they said: "Truly, Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother (Benjamin) are dearer to our father than we, while we are a strong group. Really, our father is in a plain error.
Als sie sagten: "Wahrlich, Yusuf und sein Bruder sind unserem Vater lieber als wir, obwohl wir eine (ansehnliche) Schar sind. Unser Vater befindet sich fürwahr in deutlichem Irrtum.
When they said: Certainly Yusuf and his brother are dearer to our father than we, though we are a (stronger) company; most surely our father is in manifest error:
إِذْ قَالُوا۟ لَيُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِينَا مِنَّا وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
"Kill Yusuf (Joseph) or cast him out to some (other) land, so that the favour of your father may be given to you alone, and after that you will be righteous folk (by intending repentance before committing the sin)."
Tötet Yusuf oder werft ihn ins Land hinaus, so wird das Gesicht eures Vaters sich nur noch euch zuwenden, und danach werdet ihr rechtschaffene Leute sein."
Slay Yusuf or cast him (forth) into some land, so that your father's regard may be exclusively for you, and after that you may be a righteous people.
ٱقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ وَتَكُونُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِهِۦ قَوْمًا صَٰلِحِينَ
One from among them said: "Kill not Yusuf (Joseph), but if you must do something, throw him down to the bottom of a well; he will be picked up by some caravan of travellers."
Einer von ihnen sagte: "Tötet Yusuf nicht, sondern werft ihn in die verborgene Tiefe des Brunnenlochs, so werden ihn schon einige der Reisenden auflesen, wenn ihr doch etwas tun wollt."
A speaker from among them said: Do not slay Yusuf, and cast him down into the bottom of the pit if you must do (it), (so that) some of the travellers may pick him up.
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوا۟ يُوسُفَ وَأَلْقُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمْ فَٰعِلِينَ
They said: "O our father! Why do you not trust us with Yusuf (Joseph) though we are indeed his well-wishers?"
Sie sagten: "O unser Vater, warum vertraust du uns Yusuf nicht an? Wir werden ihm wahrlich aufrichtig zugetan sein.
They said: O our father! what reason have you that you do not trust in us with respect to Yusuf? And most surely we are his sincere well - wishers:
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَٰصِحُونَ
"Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and verily, we will take care of him."
Sende ihn morgen mit uns, daß er Spaß und Spiel finde; wir werden ihn fürwahr behüten."
Send him with us tomorrow that he may enjoy himself and sport, and surely we will guard him well.
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
He [Ya'qub (Jacob)] said: "Truly, it saddens me that you should take him away. I fear lest a wolf should devour him, while you are careless of him."
Er sagte: "Es macht mich fürwahr traurig, daß ihr ihn mitnehmt. Und ich fürchte, daß ihn der Wolf frißt, während ihr seiner unachtsam seid."
He said: Surely it grieves me that you should take him off, and I fear lest the wolf devour him while you are heedless of him.
قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَٰفِلُونَ
They said: "If a wolf devours him, while we are a strong group (to guard him), then surely, we are the losers."
Sie sagten: "Wenn ihn der Wolf fressen sollte, wo wir doch eine (ansehnliche) Schar sind, dann wären wir fürwahr Verlierer."
They said: Surely if the wolf should devour him notwithstanding that we are a (strong) company, we should then certainly be losers.
قَالُوا۟ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ
So, when they took him away and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well, (they did so) and We revealed to him: "Indeed, you shall (one day) inform them of this their affair, when they know (you) not."
Als sie ihn mitnahmen und sich geeinigt hatten, ihn in die verborgene Tiefe des Brunnenlochs zu stecken, gaben Wir ihm ein: "Du wirst ihnen ganz gewiß noch diese ihre Tat kundtun, ohne daß sie merken."
So when they had gone off with him and agreed that they should put him down at the bottom of the pit, and We revealed to him: You will most certainly inform them of this their affair while they do not perceive.
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
And they came to their father in the early part of the night weeping.
Und am Abend kamen sie weinend zu ihrem Vater.
And they came to their father at nightfall, weeping.
وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً يَبْكُونَ
They said: "O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Yusuf (Joseph) by our belongings and a wolf devoured him; but you will never believe us even when we speak the truth."
Sie sagten: "O unser Vater, wir gingen, um einen Wettlauf zu machen, und ließen Yusuf bei unseren Sachen zurück. Da fraß ihn der Wolf. Aber du glaubst uns wohl nicht, auch wenn wir die Wahrheit sagen."
They said: O our father! surely we went off racing and left Yusuf by our goods, so the wolf devoured him, and you will not believe us though we are truthful.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَٰدِقِينَ
And they brought his shirt stained with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your ownselves have made up a tale. So (for me) patience is most fitting. And it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought against that (lie) which you describe."
Sie brachten falsches Blut auf seinem Hemd. Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr habt ihr selbst euch etwas eingeredet. (So gilt es,) schöne Geduld (zu üben). Allah ist Derjenige, bei Dem Hilfe zu suchen ist gegen das, was ihr beschreibt."
And they brought his shirt with false blood upon it. He said: Nay, your souls have made the matter light for you, but patience is good and Allah is He Whose help is sought for against what you describe.
وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ
And there came a caravan of travellers and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket (into the well). He said: "What good news! Here is a boy." So they hid him as merchandise (a slave). And Allah was the All-Knower of what they did.
Reisende kamen vorbei. Sie sandten ihren Wasserschöpfer, und er ließ seinen Eimer hinunter. Er sagte: "O frohe Botschaft! Da ist ein Junge." Sie verbargen ihn als Ware. Und Allah wußte wohl, was sie taten.
And there came travellers and they sent their water - drawer and he let down his bucket. He said: O good news! this is a youth; and they concealed him as an article of merchandise, and Allah knew what they did.
وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُوا۟ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥ قَالَ يَٰبُشْرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَٰمٌ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَٰعَةً وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
And they sold him for a low price - for a few Dirhams (i.e. for a few silver coins). And they were of those who regarded him insignificant.
Und sie verkauften ihn für einen zu niedrigen Preis, einige gezählte Dirhams. Und sie übten Verzicht in Bezug auf ihn.
And they sold him for a small price, a few pieces of silver, and they showed no desire for him.
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍ دَرَٰهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ
And he (the man) from Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable, may be he will profit us or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah has full power and control over His Affairs, but most of men know not.
Und derjenige aus Ägypten, der ihn gekauft hatte, sagte zu seiner Frau: "Bereite ihm einen gastfreundlichen Aufenthalt. Vielleicht wird er uns nützlich sein, oder nehmen wir ihn als Kind an." So verliehen Wir Yusuf eine feste Stellung im Land. Und Wir wollten ihn etwas von der Deutung der Geschichten lehren. Und Allah ist in Seiner Angelegenheit überlegen. Aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife: Give him an honorable abode, maybe he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son. And thus did We establish Yusuf in the land and that We might teach him the interpretation of sayings; and Allah is the master of His affair, but most people do not know.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى ٱشْتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِٱمْرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكْرِمِى مَثْوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدًا وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَ
And when he [Yusuf (Joseph)] attained his full manhood, We gave him wisdom and knowledge (the Prophethood); thus We reward the Muhsinun (doers of good - see the footnote of V.9:120).
Als er seine Vollreife erlangt hatte, gaben Wir ihm Urteil(skraft) und Wissen. So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
And when he had attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge: and thus do We reward those who do good.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ حُكْمًا وَعِلْمًا وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), and she closed the doors and said: "Come on, O you." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! Truly, he (your husband) is my master! He made my living in a great comfort! (So I will never betray him). Verily, the Zalimun (wrong and evil-doers) will never be ."
Und diejenige, in deren Haus er war, versuchte, ihn zu verführen'. Sie schloß die Türen ab und sagte: "Da bin ich für dich!" Er sagte: "Allah schütze mich (davor)! Er, mein Herr, hat mir einen schönen Aufenthalt bereitet. Gewiß, den Ungerechten wird es nicht wohl ergehen."
And she in whose house he was sought to make himself yield (to her), and she made fast the doors and said: Come forward. He said: I seek Allah's refuge, surely my Lord made good my abode: Surely the unjust do not prosper.
وَرَٰوَدَتْهُ ٱلَّتِى هُوَ فِى بَيْتِهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلْأَبْوَٰبَ وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَاىَ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفْلِحُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ
And indeed she did desire him, and he would have inclined to her desire, had he not seen the evidence of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might turn away from him evil and illegal sexual intercourse. Surely, he was one of Our chosen (guided) slaves.
Es verlangte sie nach ihm, und es hätte ihn nach ihr verlangt, wenn er nicht den Beweis seines Herrn gesehen hätte. Dies (geschah), damit Wir das Böse und das Schändliche von ihm abwendeten. Er gehört ja zu Unseren auserlesenen Dienern.
And certainly she made for him, and he would have made for her, were it not that he had seen the manifest evidence of his Lord; thus (it was) that We might turn away from him evil and indecency, surely he was one of Our sincere servants.
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِۦ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرْهَٰنَ رَبِّهِۦ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلْفَحْشَآءَ إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
So they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back. They both found her lord (i.e. her husband) at the door. She said: "What is the recompense (punishment) for him who intended an evil design against your wife, except that he be put in prison or a painful torment?"
Sie versuchten beide als erster zur Tür zu gelangen. Sie zerriß ihm von hinten das Hemd. Und sie fanden ihren Herrn bei der Tür vor. Sie sagte: "Der Lohn dessen, der deiner Familie Böses (antun) wollte, ist nur, daß er ins Gefängnis gesteckt wird, oder schmerzhafte Strafe."
And they both hastened to the door, and she rent his shirt from behind and they met her husband at the door. She said: What is the punishment of him who intends evil to your wife except imprisonment or a painful chastisement?
وَٱسْتَبَقَا ٱلْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُۥ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا ٱلْبَابِ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوٓءًا إِلَّآ أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
He [Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "It was she that sought to seduce me;" and a witness of her household bore witness (saying): "If it be that his shirt is torn from the front, then her tale is true and he is a liar!
Er sagte: "Sie war es, die versucht hat, mich zu verführen." Und ein Zeuge aus ihrer Familie bezeugte: "Wenn sein Hemd vorn zerrissen ist, dann hat sie die Wahrheit gesprochen, und er gehört zu den Lügnern.
He said: She sought to make me yield (to her); and a witness of her own family bore witness: If his shirt is rent from front, she speaks the truth and he is one of the liars:
قَالَ هِىَ رَٰوَدَتْنِى عَن نَّفْسِى وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَآ إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ
"But if it be that his shirt is torn from the back, then she has told a lie and he is speaking the truth!"
Wenn sein Hemd aber hinten zerrissen ist, dann hat sie gelogen, und er gehört zu den Wahrhaftigen."
And if his shirt is rent from behind, she tells a lie and he is one of the truthful.
وَإِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ
So when he (her husband) saw his [(Yusuf's (Joseph)] shirt torn at the back, he (her husband) said: "Surely, it is a plot of you women! Certainly mighty is your plot!
Als er nun sah, daß sein Hemd hinten zerrissen war, sagte er: "Das gehört zu euren Listen. Eure List ist gewaltig.
So when he saw his shirt rent from behind, he said: Surely it is a guile of you women; surely your guile is great:
فَلَمَّا رَءَا قَمِيصَهُۥ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ مِن كَيْدِكُنَّ إِنَّ كَيْدَكُنَّ عَظِيمٌ
"O Yusuf (Joseph)! Turn away from this! (O woman!) Ask forgiveness for your sin. Verily, you were of the sinful."
Yusuf, lasse davon ab! Und (du, jene,) bitte um Vergebung für deine Sünde! Du gehörst ja zu denjenigen, die Verfehlungen begangen haben."
O Yusuf! turn aside from this; and (O my wife)! ask forgiveness for your fault, surely you are one of the wrong - doers.
يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَا وَٱسْتَغْفِرِى لِذَنۢبِكِ إِنَّكِ كُنتِ مِنَ ٱلْخَاطِـِٔينَ
And women in the city said: "The wife of Al-'Aziz is seeking to seduce her (slave) young man, indeed she loves him violently; verily we see her in plain error."
(Einige) Frauen in der Stadt sagten: "Die Frau des hohen Herrn versucht, ihren Burschen zu verführen. Er hat sie in leidenschaftliche Liebe versetzt. Wir sehen wahrlich, sie befindet sich in deutlichem Irrtum."
And women in the city said: The chiefs wife seeks her slave to yield himself (to her), surely he has affected her deeply with (his) love; most surely we see her in manifest error.
وَقَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ تُرَٰوِدُ فَتَىٰهَا عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا إِنَّا لَنَرَىٰهَا فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
So when she heard of their accusation, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them; she gave each one of them a knife (to cut the foodstuff with), and she said [(to Yusuf (Joseph)]: "Come out before them." Then, when they saw him, they exalted him (at his beauty) and (in their astonishment) cut their hands. They said: "How perfect is Allah (or Allah forbid)! No man is this! This is none other than a noble angel!"
Als sie nun von ihren Ränken hörte, sandte sie zu ihnen und bereitete ihnen ein Gastmahl'. Sie gab einer jeden von ihnen ein Messer und sagte (zu Yusuf): "Komm zu ihnen heraus." Als sie ihn sahen, fanden sie ihn groß(artig), und sie zerschnitten sich ihre Hände und sagten: "Allah behüte! Das ist kein Mensch, das ist nur ein ehrenvoller Engel."
So when she heard of their sly talk she sent for them and prepared for them a repast, and gave each of them a knife, and said (to Yusuf): Come forth to them. So when they saw him, they deemed him great, and cut their hands (in amazement), and said: Remote is Allah (from imperfection); this is not a mortal; this is but a noble angel.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَـًٔا وَءَاتَتْ كُلَّ وَٰحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ ٱخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُۥٓ أَكْبَرْنَهُۥ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَ
She said: "This is he (the young man) about whom you did blame me, and I did seek to seduce him, but he refused. And now if he refuses to obey my order, he shall certainly be cast into prison, and will be one of those who are disgraced."
Sie sagte: "Seht, das ist der, dessentwegen ihr mich getadelt habt. Ich habe allerdings versucht, ihn zu verführen, doch er widerstand. Und wenn er nicht tut, was ich ihm befehle, wird er ganz gewiß ins Gefängnis gesteckt werden, und er wird gewiß zu den Geringgeachteten gehören."
She said: This is he with respect to whom you blamed me, and certainly I sought his yielding himself (to me), but he abstained, and if he does not do what I bid him, he shall certainly be imprisoned, and he shall certainly be of those who are in a state of ignominy.
قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ
He said: "O my Lord! Prison is dearer to me than that to which they invite me. Unless You turn away their plot from me, I will feel inclined towards them and be one (of those who commit sin and deserve blame or those who do deeds) of the ignorant."
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, das Gefängnis ist mir lieber als das, wozu sie mich auffordern. Und wenn Du ihre List von mir nicht abwendest, werde ich mich zu ihnen hingezogen fühlen und zu den Toren gehören."
He said: My Lord! the prison house is dearer to me than that to which they invite me; and if Thou turn not away their device from me, I will yearn towards them and become (one) of the ignorant.
قَالَ رَبِّ ٱلسِّجْنُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدْعُونَنِىٓ إِلَيْهِ وَإِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّى كَيْدَهُنَّ أَصْبُ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلْجَٰهِلِينَ
So his Lord answered his invocation and turned away from him their plot. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Da erhörte ihn sein Herr und wendete ihre List von ihm ab. Er ist ja der Allhörende und Allwissende.
Thereupon his Lord accepted his prayer and turned away their guile from him; surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
فَٱسْتَجَابَ لَهُۥ رَبُّهُۥ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَيْدَهُنَّ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Then it occurred to them, after they had seen the proofs (of his innocence), to imprison him for a time.
Hierauf schien es ihnen angebracht, nachdem sie die Zeichen (seiner Unschuld) gesehen hatten, ihn für eine gewisse Zeit ins Gefängnis zu stecken.
Then it occurred to them after they had seen the signs that they should imprison him till a time.
ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوُا۟ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُۥ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
And there entered with him two young men in the prison. One of them said: "Verily, I saw myself (in a dream) pressing wine." The other said: "Verily, I saw myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head and birds were eating thereof." (They said): "Inform us of the interpretation of this. Verily, we think you are one of the Muhsinun (doers of good)."
Mit ihm kamen zwei Burschen ins Gefängnis. Der eine von ihnen sagte: "Ich sah mich Wein auspressen." Der andere sagte: "Ich sah mich auf dem Kopf Brot tragen, von dem die Vögel fraßen. Tue uns die Deutung hiervon kund. Wir sehen, daß du zu den Gutes Tuenden gehörst."
And two youths entered the prison with him. One of them said: I saw myself pressing wine. And the other said: I saw myself carrying bread on my head, of which birds ate. Inform us of its interpretation; surely we see you to be of the doers of good.
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ ٱلسِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا وَقَالَ ٱلْءَاخَرُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِى خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ
He said: "No food will come to you (in wakefulness or in dream) as your provision, but I will inform (in wakefulness) its interpretation before it (the food) comes. This is of that which my Lord has taught me. Verily, I have abandoned the religion of a people that believe not in Allah and are disbelievers in the Hereafter (i.e. the Kan'anyyun of Egypt who were polytheists and used to worship sun and other false deities).
Er sagte: "Es wird euch kein Essen gebracht, mit dem ihr versorgt werdet, ohne daß ich euch die Deutung davon kundgetan habe, bevor es euch gebracht wird. Seht, das ist etwas von dem, was mich mein Herr gelehrt hat. Verlassen habe ich das Glaubensbekenntnis von Leuten, die nicht an Allah glauben, und (verlassen habe, ich) sie, die sie das Jenseits verleugnen,
He said: There shall not come to you the food with which you are fed, but I will inform you both of its interpretation before it comes to you; this is of what my Lord has taught me; surely I have forsaken the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they are deniers of the hereafter:
قَالَ لَا يَأْتِيكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِۦٓ إِلَّا نَبَّأْتُكُمَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمَا ذَٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِى رَبِّىٓ إِنِّى تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَهُم
"And I have followed the religion of my fathers, - Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaq (Isaac) and Ya'qub (Jacob) [عليهم السلام], and never could we attribute any partners whatsoever to Allah. This is from the Grace of Allah to us and to mankind, but most men thank not (i.e. they neither believe in Allah, nor worship Him).
und ich bin dem Glaubensbekenntnis meiner Väter Ibrahim, Ishaq und Ya'qub gefolgt. Es steht uns nicht zu, Allah etwas beizugesellen. Das ist etwas von Allahs Huld gegen uns und gegen die Menschen. Aber die meisten Menschen sind nicht dankbar.
And I follow the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqoub; it beseems us not that we should associate aught with Allah; this is by Allah's grace upon us and on mankind, but most people do not give thanks:
وَٱتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ ءَابَآءِىٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَإِسْحَٰقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ مَا كَانَ لَنَآ أَن نُّشْرِكَ بِٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ ذَٰلِكَ مِن فَضْلِ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَ
"O two companions of the prison! Are many different lords (gods) better or Allah, the One, the Irresistible?
O meine beiden Gefängnisgefährten! Sind verschiedene Herren besser oder Allah, der Eine, der Allbezwinger?
O my two mates of the prison! are sundry lords better or Allah the One, the Supreme?
يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ ءَأَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ خَيْرٌ أَمِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلْوَٰحِدُ ٱلْقَهَّارُ
"You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named (forged) - you and your fathers - for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command (or the judgement) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His Monotheism); that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.
Ihr dient außer Ihm nur Namen, die ihr genannt habt, ihr und eure Väter, für die Allah (jedoch) keine Ermächtigung herabgesandt hat. Das Urteil ist allein Allahs. Er hat befohlen, daß ihr nur Ihm dienen sollt. Das ist die richtige Religion. Aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
You do not serve besides Him but names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent down any authority for them; judgment is only Allah's; He has commanded that you shall not serve aught but Him; this is the right religion but most people do not know:
مَا تَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَسْمَآءً سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ أَنتُمْ وَءَابَآؤُكُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ بِهَا مِن سُلْطَٰنٍ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ أَمَرَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِيَّاهُ ذَ
"O two companions of the prison! As for one of you, he (as a servant) will pour out wine for his lord (king or master) to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified and birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which you both did inquire."
O meine beiden Gefangnisgefährten! Was den einen von euch angeht, so wird er seinem Herrn Wein zu trinken geben. Was aber den anderen angeht, so wird er gekreuzigt, und die Vögel werden von seinem Kopf fressen. Entschieden ist die Angelegenheit, über die ihr um Auskunft fragt."
O my two mates of the prison! as for one of you, he shall give his lord to drink wine; and as for the other, he shall be crucified, so that the birds shall eat from his head, the matter is decreed concerning which you inquired.
يَٰصَىٰحِبَىِ ٱلسِّجْنِ أَمَّآ أَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسْقِى رَبَّهُۥ خَمْرًا وَأَمَّا ٱلْءَاخَرُ فَيُصْلَبُ فَتَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِن رَّأْسِهِۦ قُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ٱلَّذِى فِيهِ تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ
And he said to the one whom he knew to be saved: "Mention me to your lord (i.e. your king, so as to get me out of the prison)." But Shaitan (Satan) made him forget to mention it to his Lord [or Satan made Yusuf (Joseph) to forget the remembrance of his Lord (Allah) as to ask for His Help, instead of others]. So [Yusuf (Joseph)] stayed in prison a few (more) years.
Und er sagte zu dem von beiden, von dem er glaubte, daß er entkommen werde: "Erwähne mich bei deinem Herrn." Aber der Satan ließ ihn vergessen, ihn bei seinem Herrn zu erwähnen, (und) so blieb er noch einige Jahre im Gefängnis.
And he said to him whom he knew would be delivered of the two: Remember me with your lord; but the Shaitan caused him to forget mentioning (it) to his lord, so he remained in the prison a few years.
وَقَالَ لِلَّذِى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُۥ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا ٱذْكُرْنِى عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَىٰهُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلَبِثَ فِى ٱلسِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ
And the king (of Egypt) said: "Verily, I saw (in a dream) seven fat cows, whom seven lean ones were devouring, and seven green ears of corn, and (seven) others dry. O notables! Explain to me my dream, if it be that you can interpret dreams."
Und der König sagte: "Ich sah sieben fette Kühe, die von sieben mageren gefressen wurden, und sieben grüne Ähren und (sieben) andere dürre. O ihr führende Schar, gebt mir Auskunft über mein (Traum)gesicht, wenn ihr ein (Traum)gesicht auslegen könnt."
And the king said: Surely I see seven fat kine which seven lean ones devoured; and seven green ears and (seven) others dry: O chiefs! explain to me my dream, if you can interpret the dream.
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ سَبْعَ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَأُ أَفْتُونِى فِى رُءْيَٰىَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّءْيَا تَ
They said: "Mixed up false dreams and we are not skilled in the interpretation of dreams."
Sie sagten: "(Das ist) ein Bündel von wirren Träumen. Wir wissen über die Deutung der Träume nicht Bescheid."
They said: Confused dreams, and we do not know the interpretation of dreams.
قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَٰمِ بِعَٰلِمِينَ
Then the man who was released (one of the two who were in prison), now at length remembered and said: "I will tell you its interpretation, so send me forth."
Derjenige von beiden, der entkommen war und sich nach einiger Zeit erinnerte, sagte: "Ich werde euch seine Deutung kundtun. Darum entsendet mich."
And of the two (prisoners) he who had found deliverance and remembered after a long time said: I will inform you of its interpretation, so let me go:
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِى نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَٱدَّكَرَ بَعْدَ أُمَّةٍ أَنَا۠ أُنَبِّئُكُم بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦ فَأَرْسِلُونِ
(He said): "O Yusuf (Joseph), the man of truth! Explain to us (the dream) of seven fat cows whom seven lean ones were devouring, and of seven green ears of corn, and (seven) others dry, that I may return to the people, and that they may know."
Yusuf, du Wahrhaftiger, gib uns Auskunft über sieben fette Kühe, die von sieben mageren gefressen werden, und über sieben grüne Ähren und (sieben) andere dürre, auf daß ich zu den Leuten zurückkehre, auf daß sie wissen mögen.
Yusuf! O truthful one! explain to us seven fat kine which seven lean ones devoured, and seven green ears and (seven) others dry, that I may go back to the people so that they may know.
يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
[(Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "For seven consecutive years, you shall sow as usual and that (the harvest) which you reap you shall leave it in the ears, (all) except a little of it which you may eat.
Er sagte: "Ihr werdet unablässig sieben Jahre wie gewohnt säen. Was ihr erntet, das laßt in seinen Ähren, bis auf ein weniges, wovon ihr eßt.
He said: You shall sow for seven years continuously, then what you reap leave it in its ear except a little of which you eat.
قَالَ تَزْرَعُونَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ دَأَبًا فَمَا حَصَدتُّمْ فَذَرُوهُ فِى سُنۢبُلِهِۦٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تَأْكُلُونَ
"Then will come after that, seven hard (years), which will devour what you have laid by in advance for them, (all) except a little of that which you have guarded (stored).
Hierauf werden nach alledem sieben harte (Jahre) kommen, die das aufzehren werden, was ihr für sie vorbereitet habt, bis auf ein weniges von dem, was ihr aufbewahrt.
Then there shall come after that seven years of hardship which shall eat away all that you have beforehand laid up in store for them, except a little of what you shall have preserved:
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ
"Then thereafter will come a year in which people will have abundant rain and in which they will press (wine and oil)."
Hierauf wird nach alledem ein Jahr kommen, in dem die Menschen Regen haben und in dem sie (Früchte) auspressen werden."
Then there will come after that a year in which people shall have rain and in which they shall press (grapes).
ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ ٱلنَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ
And the king said: "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "Return to your lord and ask him, 'What happened to the women who cut their hands? Surely, my Lord (Allah) is Well-Aware of their plot.'"
Der König sagte: "Bringt ihn zu mir." Als der Bote zu ihm kam, sagte er: "Kehr zu deinem Herrn zurück und frag ihn, wie es mit den Frauen steht, die sich ihre Hände zerschnitten. Mein Herr weiß doch über ihre List Bescheid."
And the king said: Bring him to me. So when the messenger came to him, he said: Go back to your lord and ask him, what is the case of the women who cut their hands; surely my Lord knows their guile.
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ ٱلرَّسُولُ قَالَ ٱرْجِعْ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَسْـَٔلْهُ مَا بَالُ ٱلنِّسْوَةِ ٱلَّٰتِى قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّى بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ
(The King) said (to the women): "What was your affair when you did seek to seduce Yusuf (Joseph)?" The women said: "Allah forbid! No evil know we against him!" The wife of Al-'Aziz said: "Now the truth is manifest (to all); it was I who sought to seduce him, and he is surely of the truthful."
Er sagte: "Was war da mit euch, als ihr versuchtet, Yusuf zu verführen?" Sie sagten: "Allah behüte! Wir wissen nichts Böses gegen ihn (anzugeben)." Die Frau des hohen Herrn sagte: "Jetzt ist die Wahrheil ans Licht gekommen. Ich habe versucht, ihn zu verführen. Und er gehört fürwahr zu den Wahrhaftigen.
He said: How was your affair when you sought Yusuf to yield himself (to you)? They said: Remote is Allah (from imperfection), we knew of no evil on his part. The chief's wife said: Now has the truth become established: I sought him to yield himself (to me), and he is most surely of the truthful ones.
قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَٰوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ قُلْنَ حَٰشَ لِلَّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوٓءٍ قَالَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُ ٱلْعَزِيزِ ٱلْـَٰٔنَ حَصْحَصَ ٱلْحَقُّ أَنَا۠ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْس
[Then Yusuf (Joseph) said: "I asked for this enquiry] in order that he (Al-'Aziz) may know that I betrayed him not in (his) absence". And, verily! Allah guides not the plot of the betrayers.
Dies ist, damit er weiß, daß ich ihn nicht in seiner Abwesenheit verraten habe und daß Allah die List der Verräter nicht gelingen läßt.
This is that he might know that I have not been unfaithful to him in secret and that Allah does not guide the device of the unfaithful.
ذَٰلِكَ لِيَعْلَمَ أَنِّى لَمْ أَخُنْهُ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى كَيْدَ ٱلْخَآئِنِينَ
"And I free not myself (from the blame). Verily, the (human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows His Mercy (upon whom He wills). Verily, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."
Und ich spreche mich nicht selbst frei. Die Seele gebietet fürwahr mit Nachdruck das Böse, außer daß mein Herr Sich erbarmt. Mein Herr ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig."
And I do not declare myself free, most surely (man's) self is wont to command (him to do) evil, except such as my Lord has had mercy on, surely my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
وَمَآ أُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِىٓ إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌۢ بِٱلسُّوٓءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّ رَبِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
And the king said: "Bring him to me that I may attach him to my person." Then, when he spoke to him, he said: "Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and fully trusted."
Und der König sagte: "Bringt ihn zu mir. Ich will ihn mir selbst vorbehalten." Als er mit ihm sprach, sagte er: "Du bist (von) heute (an) bei uns in fester Stellung und vertrauenswürdig."
And the king said: Bring him to me, I will choose him for myself. So when he had spoken with him, he said: Surely you are in our presence today an honorable, a faithful one.
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ
[Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "Set me over the store-houses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge" (as a minister of finance in Egypt).
Er sagte: "Setze mich über die Vorratskammern des Landes ein; ich bin ein kenntnisreicher Hüter."
He said: Place me (in authority) over the treasures of the land, surely I am a good keeper, knowing well.
قَالَ ٱجْعَلْنِى عَلَىٰ خَزَآئِنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنِّى حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ
Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf (Joseph) in the land, to take possession therein, when or where he likes. We bestow of Our Mercy on whom We will, and We make not to be lost the reward of Al-Muhsinun (the good doers - See V.2:112).
So verliehen Wir Yusuf eine feste Stellung im Land, so daß er sich darin aufhalten konnte, wo immer er wollte. Wir treffen mit Unserer Barmherzigkeit, wen Wir wollen, und Wir lassen den Lohn der Gutes Tuenden nicht verlorengehen.
And thus did We give to Yusuf power in the land - - he had mastery in it wherever he liked; We send down Our mercy on whom We please, and We do not waste the reward of those who do good.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and used to fear Allah and keep their duty to Him (by abstaining from all kinds of sins and evil deeds and by performing all kinds of righteous good deeds).
Aber der Lohn des Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für diejenigen, die glauben und gottesfürchtig sind.
And certainly the reward of the hereafter is much better for those who believe and guard (against evil).
وَلَأَجْرُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ
And Yusuf's (Joseph) brethren came and they entered unto him, and he recognized them, but they recognized him not.
Und da kamen Yusufs Brüder und traten bei ihm ein. Er erkannte sie, während sie ihn nicht erkannten.
And Yusuf's brothers came and went in to him, and he knew them, while they did not recognize him.
وَجَآءَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ فَدَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُۥ مُنكِرُونَ
And when he had furnished them with their provisions (according to their need), he said: "Bring me a brother of yours from your father (he meant Benjamin). See you not that I give full measure, and that I am the best of the hosts?
Als er sie nun mit ihrem Bedarf ausgestattet hatte, sagte er: "Bringt mir einen (Halb)bruder von euch väterlicherseits. Seht ihr denn nicht, daß ich volles Maß gebe und daß ich der beste Obdachgeber bin?
And when he furnished them with their provision, he said: Bring to me a brother of yours from your father; do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of hosts?
وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ٱئْتُونِى بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ أَلَا تَرَوْنَ أَنِّىٓ أُوفِى ٱلْكَيْلَ وَأَنَا۠ خَيْرُ ٱلْمُنزِلِينَ
"But if you bring him not to me, there shall be no measure (of corn) for you with me, nor shall you come near me."
Wenn ihr ihn mir nicht bringt, so bekommt ihr bei mir kein Maß mehr, und ihr sollt nicht in meine Nähe kommen."
But if you do not bring him to me, you shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall you come near me.
فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِى وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ
They said: "We shall try to get permission (for him) from his father, and verily, we shall do it."
Sie sagten: "Wir werden versuchen, seinen Vater in Bezug auf ihn zu bewegen, und wir werden es bestimmt tun."
They said: We will strive to make his father yield in respect of him, and we are sure to do (it).
قَالُوا۟ سَنُرَٰوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَٰعِلُونَ
And [Yusuf (Joseph)] told his servants to put their money (with which they had bought the corn) into their bags, so that they might know it when they go back to their people; in order they might come again.
Und er sagte zu seinen Burschen: "Steckt ihre (Tausch)ware (zurück) in ihr Gepäck, so daß sie sie (wieder)erkennen, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückgekehrt sind, auf daß sie wiederkommen mögen."
And he said to his servants: Put their money into their bags that they may recognize it when they go back to their family, so that they may come back.
وَقَالَ لِفِتْيَٰنِهِ ٱجْعَلُوا۟ بِضَٰعَتَهُمْ فِى رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْرِفُونَهَآ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
So, when they returned to their father, they said: "O our father! No more measure of grain shall we get (unless we take our brother). So send our brother with us, and we shall get our measure and truly we will guard him."
Als sie zu ihrem Vater zurückkamen, sagten sie: "O unser Vater, ein (weiteres) Maß ist uns verweigert worden. Darum lasse unseren Bruder mit uns gehen, so bekommen wir ein (weiteres) Maß zugeteilt; wir werden ihn fürwahr behüten."
So when they returned to their father, they said: O our father, the measure is withheld from us, therefore send with us our brother, (so that) we may get the measure, and we will most surely guard him.
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيهِمْ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا ٱلْكَيْلُ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَآ أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
He said: "Can I entrust him to you except as I entrusted his brother [Yusuf (Joseph)] to you aforetime? But Allah is the Best to guard, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy."
Er sagte: "Kann ich ihn euch etwa anders anvertrauen, als ich euch zuvor seinen Bruder anvertraut habe? Allah ist besser als Behütender, und Er ist der Barmherzigste der Barmherzigen."
He said: I cannot trust in you with respect to him, except as I trusted in you with respect to his brother before; but Allah is the best Keeper, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful ones.
قَالَ هَلْ ءَامَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ فَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَٰفِظًا وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ
And when they opened their bags, they found their money had been returned to them. They said: "O our father! What (more) can we desire? This, our money has been returned to us; so we shall get (more) food for our family, and we shall guard our brother and add one more measure of a camel's load. This quantity is easy (for the king to give)."
Und als sie ihre Sachen öffneten, fanden sie, daß ihre Ware ihnen zurückgegeben worden war. Sie sagten: "O unser Vater, was begehren wir (mehr)? Das ist unsere Ware, sie ist uns zurückgegeben worden. Wir werden Vorrat für unsere Angehörigen bringen, unseren Bruder behüten und das Maß (der Last) eines Kamels mehr haben. Das ist ein leicht(erhältlich)es Maß."
And when they opened their goods, they found their money returned to them. They said: O our father! what (more) can we desire? This is our property returned to us, and we will bring corn for our family and guard our brother, and will have in addition the measure of a camel (load); this is an easy measure.
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا۟ مَتَٰعَهُمْ وَجَدُوا۟ بِضَٰعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِى هَٰذِهِۦ بِضَٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِير
He [Ya'qub (Jacob)] said: "I will not send him with you until you swear a solemn oath to me in Allah's Name, that you will bring him back to me unless you are yourselves surrounded (by enemies)," And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: "Allah is the Witness to what we have said."
Er sagte: "Ich werde ihn nicht mit euch senden, bis ihr mir ein verbindliches Versprechen vor Allah gebt, daß ihr ihn mir ganz gewiß wiederbringt, es sei denn, ihr werdet umringt." Als sie ihm ihr verbindliches Versprechen gegeben hatten, sagte er: "Allah ist Sachwalter über das, was wir (hier) sagen."
He said: I will by no means send him with you until you give me a firm covenant in Allah's name that you will most certainly bring him back to me, unless you are completely surrounded. And when they gave him their covenant, he said: Allah is the One in Whom trust is placed as regards what we say.
قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُۥ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّىٰ تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَتَأْتُنَّنِى بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ
And he said: "O my sons! Do not enter by one gate, but enter by different gates, and I cannot avail you against Allah at all. Verily! The decision rests only with Allah. In Him, I put my trust and let all those that trust, put their trust in Him."
Und er sagte: "O meine Kinder, geht nicht (alle) durch ein einziges Tor hinein, sondern geht durch verschiedene Tore hinein. Ich kann euch gegen Allah nichts nützen. Das Urteil ist allein Allahs. Auf Ihn verlasse ich mich; und auf Ihn sollen sich diejenigen verlassen, die sich (überhaupt auf jemanden) verlassen (wollen)."
And he said: O my sons! do not (all) enter by one gate and enter by different gates and I cannot avail you aught against Allah; judgment is only Allah's; on Him do I rely, and on Him let those who are reliant rely.
وَقَالَ يَٰبَنِىَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوا۟ مِنۢ بَابٍ وَٰحِدٍ وَٱدْخُلُوا۟ مِنْ أَبْوَٰبٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ وَمَآ أُغْنِى عَنكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ
And when they entered according to their father's advice, it did not avail them in the least against (the Will of) Allah; it was but a need of Ya'qub's (Jacob) inner-self which he discharged. And verily, he was endowed with knowledge because We had taught him, but most men know not.
Als sie hineingingen, wie ihr Vater ihnen befohlen hatte, konnte es ihnen vor Allah nichts nützen. (Es war) nur ein Bedürfnis in der Seele Ya'qubs, das er (damit) erfüllte. Und er besaß fürwahr Wissen, weil Wir es ihn gelehrt hatten. Aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
And when they had entered as their father had bidden them, it did not avail them aught against Allah, but (it was only) a desire in the soul of Yaqoub which he satisfied; and surely he was possessed of knowledge because We had given him knowledge, but most people do not know.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِى عَنْهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةً فِى نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَىٰهَا وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَٰهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ
And when they went in before Yusuf (Joseph), he took his brother (Benjamin) to himself and said: "Verily! I am your brother, so grieve not for what they used to do."
Als sie bei Yusuf eintraten, zog er seinen Bruder zu sich. Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin dein Bruder. So sei nicht bekümmert wegen dessen, was sie getan haben."
And when they went in to Yusuf. he lodged his brother with himself, saying: I am your brother, therefore grieve not at what they do.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ
So when he had furnished them forth with their provisions, he put the (golden) bowl in his brother's bag. Then a crier cried: "O you (in) the caravan! Surely, you are thieves!"
Als er sie nun mit ihrem Bedarf ausgestattet hatte, steckte er das Trinkgefäß in das Gepäck seines Bruders. Hierauf rief ein Rufer aus: "Ihr (da, von der) Karawane, ihr seid fürwahr Diebe."
So when he furnished them with their provisions, (someone) placed the drinking cup in his brother's bag. Then a crier cried out: O caravan! you are most surely thieves.
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَٰرِقُونَ
They, turning towards them, said: "What is it that you have lost?"
Sie sagten, indem sie sich ihnen zuwandten: "Was vermißt ihr?"
They said while they were facing them: What is it that you miss?
قَالُوا۟ وَأَقْبَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُونَ
They said: "We have lost the (golden) bowl of the king and for him who produces it is (the reward of) a camel load; and I will be bound by it."
Sie sagten: "Wir vermissen den Kelch des Königs. Wer ihn wiederbringt, erhält die Last eines Kamels, und dafür bin ich Bürge."
They said: We miss the king's drinking cup, and he who shall bring it shall have a camel - load and I am responsible for it.
قَالُوا۟ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَآءَ بِهِۦ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا۠ بِهِۦ زَعِيمٌ
They said: "By Allah! Indeed you know that we came not to make mischief in the land, and we are no thieves!"
Sie sagten: "Bei Allah, ihr wißt doch, wir sind nicht gekommen, um im Land Unheil zu stiften, und wir sind keine Diebe."
They said: By Allah! you know for certain that we have not come to make mischief in the land, and we are not thieves.
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَٰرِقِينَ
They [Yusuf's (Joseph) men] said: "What then shall be the penalty of him, if you are (proved to be) liars."
Sie sagten: "Was soll dann die Vergeltung dafür sein, wenn ihr Lügner seid?"
They said: But what shall be the requital of this, if you are liars?
قَالُوا۟ فَمَا جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥٓ إِن كُنتُمْ كَٰذِبِينَ
They [Yusuf's (Joseph) brothers] said: "His penalty should be that he, in whose bag it is found, should be held for the punishment (of the crime). Thus we punish the Zalimun (wrong-doers)!"
Sie (die Brüder) sagten: "Die Vergeltung dafür soll sein, daß derjenige, in dessen Gepäck er gefunden wird, selbst das Entgelt dafür sein soll. So vergelten wir den Ungerechten."
They said: The requital of this is that the person in whose bag it is found shall himself be (held for) the satisfaction thereof; thus do we punish the wrongdoers.
قَالُوا۟ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ مَن وُجِدَ فِى رَحْلِهِۦ فَهُوَ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
So he [Yusuf (Joseph)] began (the search) in their bags before the bag of his brother. Then he brought it out of his brother's bag. Thus did We plan for Yusuf (Joseph). He could not take his brother by the law of the king (as a slave), except that Allah willed it. (So Allah made the brothers to bind themselves with their way of "punishment, i.e. enslaving of a thief.") We raise to degrees whom We will, but over all those endowed with knowledge is the All-Knowing (Allah).
Er begann (zu suchen) in ihren Behältern vor dem Behälter seines Bruders. Hierauf holte er es aus dem Behälter seines Bruders hervor. So führten Wir für Yusuf eine List aus. Nach dem Gesetz des Königs hätte es ihm nicht zugestanden, seinen Bruder (als Sklaven) zu nehmen, außer daß Allah es wollte. Wir erhöhen, wen Wir wollen, um Rangstufen. Und über jedem, der Wissen besitzt, steht einer, der (noch mehr) weiß.
So he began with their sacks before the sack of his brother, then he brought it out from his brother's sack. Thus did We plan for the sake of Yusuf; it was not (lawful) that he should take his brother under the king's law unless Allah pleased; We raise the degrees of whomsoever We please, and above every one possessed of knowledge is the All - knowing one.
فَبَدَأَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِن وِعَآءِ أَخِيهِ كَذَٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوسُفَ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ أَخَاهُ فِى دِينِ ٱلْمَلِكِ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ نَرْفَعُ
They [(Yusuf's (Joseph) brothers] said: "If he steals, there was a brother of his [Yusuf (Joseph)] who did steal before (him)." But these things did Yusuf (Joseph) keep in himself, revealing not the secrets to them. He said (within himself): "You are in worst case, and Allah is the Best Knower of that which you describe!"
Sie sagten: "Wenn er stiehlt, so hat ein Bruder von ihm schon zuvor gestohlen." Aber Yusuf hielt es in seinem Innersten geheim und legte es ihnen nicht offen. Er sagte: "Ihr befindet euch in einer (noch) schlechteren Lage. Und Allah weiß sehr wohl, was ihr beschreibt."
They said: If he steal, a brother of his did indeed steal before; but Yusuf kept it secret in his heart and did not disclose it to them. He said: You are in an evil condition and Allah knows best what you state.
قَالُوٓا۟ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ
They said: "O ruler of the land! Verily, he has an old father (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place. Indeed we think that you are one of the Muhsinun (good-doers - see the footnote of V.9:120)."
Sie sagten: "O hoher Herr, er hat einen Vater, einen hochbetagten Greis. So nimm einen von uns an seiner Stelle. Wir sehen, daß du zu den Gutes Tuenden gehörst."
They said: O chief! he has a father, a very old man, therefore retain one of us in his stead; surely we see you to be of the doers of good.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُۥٓ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُۥٓ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
He said: "Allah forbid, that we should take anyone but him with whom we found our property. Indeed (if we did so), we should be Zalimun (wrong-doers)."
Er sagte: "Allah schütze uns (davor), daß wir einen anderen nehmen als denjenigen, bei dem wir unsere Sachen gefunden haben! Wir würden sonst wahrlich zu den Ungerechten gehören."
He said: Allah protect us that we should seize other than him with whom we found our property, for then most surely we would be unjust.
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّظَٰلِمُونَ
So, when they despaired of him, they held a conference in private. The eldest among them said: "Know you not that your father did take an oath from you in Allah's Name, and before this you did fail in your duty with Yusuf (Joseph)? Therefore I will not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allah decides my case (by releasing Benjamin) and He is the Best of the judges.
Als sie die Hoffnung an ihm aufgegeben hatten, zogen sie sich zurück zu einem vertraulichen Gespräch. Der Älteste von ihnen sagte: "Wißt ihr (denn) nicht, daß euer Vater von euch ein verbindliches Versprechen vor Allah entgegengenommen hat und daß ihr zuvor (eure Pflicht) gegenüber Yusuf vernachlässigt habt? Ich werde das Land nicht verlassen, bis mein Vater es mir erlaubt oder Allah ein Urteil für mich fällt. Er ist der Beste derer, die Urteile fällen.
Then when they despaired of him, they retired, conferring privately together. The eldest of them said: Do you not know that your father took from you a covenant in Allah's name, and how you fell short of your duty with respect to Yusuf before? Therefore I will by no means depart from this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of the judges:
فَلَمَّا ٱسْتَيْـَٔسُوا۟ مِنْهُ خَلَصُوا۟ نَجِيًّا قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمْ أَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُم مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمِن قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمْ فِى يُوسُفَ فَلَنْ أَبْرَحَ
"Return to your father and say, 'O our father! Verily, your son (Benjamin) has stolen, and we testify not except according to what we know, and we could not know the Unseen!
Kehrt zu eurem Vater zurück und sagt: ,O unser Vater, dein Sohn hat gestohlen, und wir bezeugen nur das, was wir wissen, und wir sind nicht Hüter über das Verborgene.
Go back to your father and say: O our father! surely your son committed theft, and we do not bear witness except to what we have known, and we could not keep watch over the unseen:
ٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيكُمْ فَقُولُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّ ٱبْنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدْنَآ إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلْغَيْبِ حَٰفِظِينَ
"And ask (the people of) the town where we have been, and the caravan in which we returned; and indeed we are telling the truth."
Frag die Stadt, in der wir waren, und die Karawane, mit der wir angekommen sind. Wir sagen gewiß die Wahrheit'."
And inquire in the town in which we were and the caravan with which we proceeded, and most surely we are truthful.
وَسْـَٔلِ ٱلْقَرْيَةَ ٱلَّتِى كُنَّا فِيهَا وَٱلْعِيرَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَقْبَلْنَا فِيهَا وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ
He [Ya'qub (Jacob)] said: "Nay, but your ownselves have beguiled you into something. So patience is most fitting (for me). May be Allah will bring them (back) all to me. Truly He! Only He is All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr habt ihr selbst euch etwas eingeredet. (Es gilt) schöne Geduld (zu üben). Aber vielleicht wird Allah sie mir alle wiederbringen. Er ist ja der Allwissende und Allweise."
He (Yaqoub) said: Nay, your souls have made a matter light for you, so patience is good; maybe Allah will bring them all together to me; surely He is the Knowing, the Wise.
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِى بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
And he turned away from them and said: "Alas, my grief for Yusuf (Joseph)!" And he lost his sight because of the sorrow that he was suppressing.
Und er kehrte sich von ihnen ab und sagte: "O mein Kummer um Yusuf!" Und seine Augen wurden weiß vor Trauer, und so hielt er (seinen Kummer) zurück.
And he turned away from them, and said: O my sorrow for Yusuf! and his eyes became white on account of the grief, and he was a repressor (of grief).
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنْهُمْ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبْيَضَّتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
They said: "By Allah! You will never cease remembering Yusuf (Joseph) until you become weak with old age, or until you be of the dead."
Sie sagten: "Bei Allah, du hörst nicht auf, Yusufs zu gedenken, bis du hinfällig geworden bist oder zu denen gehörst, die umkommen."
They said: By Allah! you will not cease to remember Yusuf until you are a prey to constant disease or (until) you are of those who perish.
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ تَفْتَؤُا۟ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّىٰ تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْهَٰلِكِينَ
He said: "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you know not.
Er sagte: "Ich klage meinen unerträglichen Kummer und meine Trauer nur Allah (allein), und ich weiß von Allah her, was ihr nicht wißt.
He said: I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah what you do not know.
قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشْكُوا۟ بَثِّى وَحُزْنِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
"O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who disbelieve."
O meine Kinder, geht und erkundigt euch über Yusuf und seinen Bruder. Und gebt nicht die Hoffnung auf das Erbarmen Allahs auf. Es gibt die Hoffnung auf das Erbarmen Allahs nur das ungläubige Volk auf."
O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother, and despair not of Allah's mercy; surely none despairs of Allah's mercy except the unbelieving people.
يَٰبَنِىَّ ٱذْهَبُوا۟ فَتَحَسَّسُوا۟ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَا۟يْـَٔسُوا۟ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَا۟يْـَٔسُ مِن رَّوْحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ
Then, when they entered unto him [Yusuf (Joseph)], they said: "O ruler of the land! A hard time has hit us and our family, and we have brought but poor capital, so pay us full measure and be charitable to us. Truly, Allah does reward the charitable."
Als sie (wieder) bei ihm eintraten, sagten sie: "O hoher Herr, Unheil ist uns und unseren Angehörigen widerfahren. Und wir haben (nur) Ware von geringem Wert gebracht. So gib uns (dennoch) volles Maß und gib (es) uns als Almosen. Allah vergilt denjenigen, die Almosen geben."
So when they came in to him, they said: O chief! distress has afflicted us and our family and we have brought scanty money, so give us full measure and be charitable to us; surely Allah rewards the charitable.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهْلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئْنَا بِبِضَٰعَةٍ مُّزْجَىٰةٍ فَأَوْفِ لَنَا ٱلْكَيْلَ وَتَصَدَّقْ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْزِى ٱلْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ
He said: "Do you know what you did with Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, when you were ignorant?"
Er sagte: "Wißt ihr (noch), was ihr Yusuf und seinem Bruder damals in eurer Torheit antatet?"
He said: Do you know how you treated Yusuf and his brother when you were ignorant?
قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُم مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَٰهِلُونَ
They said: "Are you indeed Yusuf (Joseph)?" He said: "I am Yusuf (Joseph), and this is my brother (Benjamin). Allah has indeed been gracious to us. Verily, he who fears Allah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allah makes not the reward of the Muhsinun (good-doers - see V.2:112) to be lost."
Sie sagten: "Bist du denn wirklich Yusuf?" Er sagte: "Ich bin Yusuf, und das ist mein Bruder. Allah hat uns eine Wohltat erwiesen. Gewiß, wer gottesfürchtig und standhaft ist -- gewiß, Allah läßt den Lohn der Gutes Tuenden nicht verlorenge hen."
They said: Are you indeed Yusuf? He said: I am Yusuf and this is my brother; Allah has indeed been gracious to us; surely he who guards (against evil) and is patient (is rewarded) for surely Allah does not waste the reward of those who do good.
قَالُوٓا۟ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُ قَالَ أَنَا۠ يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَآ أَخِى قَدْ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَآ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
They said: "By Allah! Indeed Allah has preferred you above us, and we certainly have been sinners."
Sie sagten: "Bei Allah, Allah hat dich uns vorgezogen. Und wir haben wahrlich Verfehlungen begangen."
They said: By Allah! now has Allah certainly chosen you over us, and we were certainly sinners.
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ ءَاثَرَكَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَٰطِـِٔينَ
He said: "No reproach on you this day; may Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!
Er sagte: "Keine Schelte soll heute über euch kommen. Allah vergibt euch, Er ist ja der Barmherzigste der Barmherzigen.
He said: (There shall be) no reproof against you this day; Allah may forgive you, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful.
قَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ
"Go with this shirt of mine, and cast it over the face of my father, he will become clear-sighted, and bring me all your family."
Geht mit diesem meinem Hemd und legt es auf das Gesicht meines Vaters, so wird er sein Augenlicht (wieder)erlangen. Und bringt eure Angehörigen allesamt zu mir."
Take this my shirt and cast it on my father's face, he will (again) be able to see, and come to me with all your families.
ٱذْهَبُوا۟ بِقَمِيصِى هَٰذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِ أَبِى يَأْتِ بَصِيرًا وَأْتُونِى بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
And when the caravan departed, their father said: "I do indeed feel the smell of Yusuf (Joseph), if only you think me not a dotard (a person who has weakness of mind because of old age)."
Als nun die Karawane aufgebrochen war, sagte ihr Vater: "Wahrlich, ich nehme Yusufs Geruch war. Wenn ihr mich nur nicht bezichtigen würdet, Unsinn zu reden!"
And when the caravan had departed, their father said: Most surely I perceive the greatness of Yusuf, unless you pronounce me to be weak in judgment.
وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ
They said: "By Allah! Certainly, you are in your old error."
Sie sagten: "Bei Allah, du befindest dich fürwahr in deinem alten Irrtum."
They said: By Allah, you are most surely in your old error.
قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِى ضَلَٰلِكَ ٱلْقَدِيمِ
Then, when the bearer of the glad tidings arrived, he cast it (the shirt) over his face, and he became clear-sighted. He said: "Did I not say to you, 'I know from Allah that which you know not.'"
Als nun der Frohbote kam, legte er es auf sein Gesicht, und da hatte er sein Augenlicht wiedererlangt. Er sagte: "Habe ich euch nicht gesagt, daß ich von Allah her weiß, was ihr nicht wißt?"
So when the bearer of good news came he cast it on his face, so forthwith he regained his sight. He said: Did I not say to you that I know from Allah what you do not know?
فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَىٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ فَٱرْتَدَّ بَصِيرًا قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
They said: "O our father! Ask Forgiveness (from Allah) for our sins, indeed we have been sinners."
Sie sagten: "O unser Vater, bitte für uns um Vergebung unserer Sünden, denn wir haben gewiß Verfehlungen begangen."
They said: O our father! ask forgiveness of our faults for us, surely we were sinners.
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَا ٱسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا خَٰطِـِٔينَ
He said: "I will ask my Lord for forgiveness for you, verily He! Only He is the Oft-Forgiving, the Most Merciful."
Er sagte: "Ich werde meinen Herrn um Vergebung für euch bitten. Er ist ja der Allvergebende und Barmherzige."
He said: I will ask for you forgiveness from my Lord; surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
قَالَ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّىٓ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ
Then, when they came in before Yusuf (Joseph), he took his parents to himself and said: "Enter Egypt, if Allah wills, in security."
Als sie nun bei Yusuf eintraten, zog er seine Eltern an sich und sagte: "Betretet Ägypten, wenn Allah will, in Sicherheit."
Then when they came in to Yusuf, he took his parents to lodge with him and said: Enter safe into Egypt, if Allah please.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مِصْرَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ
And he raised his parents to the throne and they fell down before him prostrate. And he said: "O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream aforetime! My Lord has made it come true! He was indeed good to me, when He took me out of the prison, and brought you (all here) out of the bedouin-life, after Shaitan (Satan) had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Certainly, my Lord is the Most Courteous and Kind unto whom He wills. Truly He! Only He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Und er hob seine Eltern auf den Thron empor. Und sie fielen vor ihm ehrerbietig nieder. Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, das ist die Deutung meines (Traum)gesichts von zuvor. Mein Herr hat es wahrgemacht. Und Er hat mir Gutes erwiesen, als Er mich aus dem Gefängnis herauskommen ließ und euch aus dem nomadischen Leben hierherbrachte, nachdem der Satan zwischen mir und meinen Brüdern (zu Zwietracht) aufgestachelt hatte. Gewiß, mein Herr ist feinfühlig (in der Durchführung dessen), was Er will. Er ist ja der Allwissende und Allweise.
And he raised his parents upon the throne and they fell down in prostration before him, and he said: O my father! this is the significance of my vision of old; my Lord has indeed made it to be true; and He was indeed kind to me when He brought me forth from the prison and brought you from the desert after the Shaitan had sown dissensions between me and my brothers, surely my Lord is benignant to whom He pleases; surely He is the Knowing, the Wise.
وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيْهِ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ وَخَرُّوا۟ لَهُۥ سُجَّدًا وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ هَٰذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُءْيَٰىَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّى حَقًّا وَقَدْ أَحْسَنَ بِىٓ إِذْ أَخْرَجَنِى مِنَ ٱلسِّجْنِ وَجَ
"My Lord! You have indeed bestowed on me of the sovereignty, and taught me something of the interpretation of dreams - the (Only) Creator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Wali (Protector, Helper, Supporter, Guardian, God, Lord.) in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous."
Mein Herr, Du hast mir etwas von der Herrschaft gegeben und mich etwas von der Deutung der Sprüche gelehrt. (O Du) Erschaffer der Himmel und der Erde, Du bist mein Schutzherr im Diesseits und Jenseits. Berufe mich als (Dir) ergeben ab und nimm mich unter die Rechtschaffenen auf."
My Lord! Thou hast given me of the kingdom and taught me of the interpretation of sayings: Originator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my guardian in this world and the hereafter; make me die a muslim and join me with the good.
رَبِّ قَدْ ءَاتَيْتَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِى مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّۦ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
That is of the news of the Ghaib (Unseen) which We reveal to you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم). You were not (present) with them when they arranged their plan together, and (while) they were plotting.
Dies gehört zu den Nachrichten vom Verborgenen, das Wir dir (als Offenbarung) eingeben. Denn du warst nicht bei ihnen, als sie sich einigten, indem sie Ränke schmiedeten.
This is of the announcements relating to the unseen (which) We reveal to you, and you were not with them when they resolved upon their affair, and they were devising plans.
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ
And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly.
Aber die meisten Menschen werden, auch wenn du noch so sehr (danach) trachtest, nicht gläubig sein.
And most men will not believe though you desire it eagerly.
وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ
And no reward you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) ask of them (those who deny your Prophethood) for it; it (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder and an advice unto the 'Alamin (men and jinn).
Und du verlangst von ihnen keinen Lohn dafür. Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner.
And you do not ask them for a reward for this; it is nothing but a reminder for all mankind.
وَمَا تَسْـَٔلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth they pass by, while they are averse therefrom.
Wie viele Zeichen gibt es in den Himmeln und auf der Erde, an denen sie vorbeigehen, wobei sie sie unbeachtet lassen!
And how many a sign in the heavens and the earth which they pass by, yet they turn aside from it.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ يَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهَا وَهُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُونَ
And most of them believe not in Allah except that they attribute partners unto Him [i.e. they are Mushrikun i.e. polytheists. See Verse 6: 121].
Und die meisten von ihnen glauben nicht an Allah, ohne (Ihm andere) beizugesellen.
And most of them do not believe in Allah without associating others (with Him).
وَمَا يُؤْمِنُ أَكْثَرُهُم بِٱللَّهِ إِلَّا وَهُم مُّشْرِكُونَ
Do they then feel secure from the coming against them of the covering veil of the Torment of Allah, or of the coming against them of the (Final) Hour, all of a sudden while they perceive not?
Glauben sie denn, sicher zu sein davor, daß eine überdeckende Strafe von Allah über sie kommt oder daß plötzlich die Stunde über sie kommt, ohne daß sie merken?
Do they then feel secure that there may come to them an extensive chastisement from Allah or (that) the hour may come to them suddenly while they do not perceive?
أَفَأَمِنُوٓا۟ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ غَٰشِيَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ ٱللَّهِ أَوْ تَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "This is my way; I invite unto Allah (i.e. to the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) with sure knowledge, I and whosoever follows me (also must invite others to Allah i.e. to the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism with sure knowledge). And Glorified and Exalted be Allah (above all that they associate as partners with Him). And I am not of the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah; those who worship others along with Allah or set up rivals or partners to Allah)."
Sag: Das ist mein Weg: Ich rufe zu Allah aufgrund eines sichtbaren Hinweises, ich und diejenigen, die mir folgen. Preis sei Allah! Und ich gehöre nicht zu den Götzendienern.
Say: This is my way: I call to Allah, I and those who follow me being certain, and glory be to Allah, and I am not one of the polytheists.
قُلْ هَٰذِهِۦ سَبِيلِىٓ أَدْعُوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ عَلَىٰ بَصِيرَةٍ أَنَا۠ وَمَنِ ٱتَّبَعَنِى وَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ
And We sent not before you (as Messengers) any but men unto whom We revealed, from among the people of the townships. Have they not travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those who were before them? And verily, the home of the Hereafter is the best for those who fear Allah and obey Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds). Do you not then understand?
Und Wir haben vor dir nur Männer gesandt von den Bewohnern der Städte, denen Wir (Offenbarungen) eingaben. Sind sie denn nicht auf der Erde umhergereist, so daß sie schauen (konnten), wie das Ende derjenigen war, die vor ihnen waren? Die Wohnstätte des Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind. Begreift ihr denn nicht?
And We have not sent before you but men from (among) the people of the towns, to whom We sent revelations. Have they not then travelled in the land and seen what was the end of those before them? And certainly the abode of the hereafter is best for those who guard (against evil); do you not then understand?
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِم مِّنْ أَهْلِ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَفَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَدَارُ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ
(They were reprieved) until, when the Messengers gave up hope and thought that they were denied (by their people), then came to them Our Help, and whomsoever We willed were rescued. And Our punishment cannot be warded off from the people who are Mujrimun (criminals, sinners, disbelievers, polytheists).
Erst dann, als die Gesandten die Hoffnung aufgegeben hatten und sie meinten, daß sie belogen worden seien, kam Unsere Hilfe zu ihnen. Und so wird errettet, wen Wir wollen. Aber vom übeltätigen Volk wird Unsere Gewalt nicht abgewandt.
Until when the apostles despaired and the people became sure that they were indeed told a lie, Our help came to them and whom We pleased was delivered; and Our punishment is not averted from the guilty people.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا ٱسْتَيْـَٔسَ ٱلرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوا۟ جَآءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّىَ مَن نَّشَآءُ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُنَا عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur'an) is not a forged statement but a confirmation of (Allah's existing Books) which were before it [i.e. the Taurat (Torah), the Injeel (Gospel) and other Scriptures of Allah] and a detailed explanation of everything and a guide and a Mercy for the people who believe.
In ihren Geschichten ist wahrlich eine Lehre für diejenigen, die Verstand besitzen. Es ist keine Aussage, die ersonnen wird, sondern die Bestätigung dessen, was vor ihm war, und die ausführliche Darlegung aller Dinge und eine Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für Leute, die glauben.
In their histories there is certainly a lesson for men of understanding. It is not a narrative which could be forged, but a verification of what is before it and a distinct explanation of all things and a guide and a mercy to a people who believe.
لَقَدْ كَانَ فِى قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ مَا كَانَ حَدِيثًا يُفْتَرَىٰ وَلَٰكِن تَصْدِيقَ ٱلَّذِى بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَتَفْصِيلَ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
