طسٓ تِلْكَ ءَايَٰتُ ٱلْقُرْءَانِ وَكِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ
A guide (to the Right Path) and glad tidings for the believers [who believe in the Oneness of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism)].

هُدًى وَبُشْرَىٰ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat and they believe with certainty in the Hereafter (resurrection, recompense of their good and bad deeds, Paradise and Hell).
die das Gebet verrichten und die Abgabe entrichten, und sie, die sie vom Jenseits überzeugt sind.
Who keep up prayer and pay the poor - rate, and of the hereafter, they are sure.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَيُؤْتُونَ ٱلزَّكَوٰةَ وَهُم بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ
Verily, those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their deeds fair-seeming to them, so that they wander about blindly.
Gewiß, denjenigen, die nicht an das Jenseits glauben, haben Wir ihre Taten ausgeschmückt, so daß sie blind umherirren.
As to those who do not believe in the hereafter, We have surely made their deeds fair - seeming to them, but they blindly wander on.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْءَاخِرَةِ زَيَّنَّا لَهُمْ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَهُمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
They are those for whom there will be an evil torment (in this world). And in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.
Das sind diejenigen, für die es böse Strafe geben wird, und im Jenseits sind sie die größten Verlierer.
These are they who shall have an evil punishment, and in the hereafter they shall be the greatest losers.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلْعَذَابِ وَهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ هُمُ ٱلْأَخْسَرُونَ
And verily, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are being taught the Qur'an from One, All-Wise, All-Knowing.
Dir wird der Qur'an wahrlich von Seiten eines Allweisen und Allwissenden zum Empfang überbracht.
And most surely you are made to receive the Quran from the Wise, the Knowing Allah.
وَإِنَّكَ لَتُلَقَّى ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مِن لَّدُنْ حَكِيمٍ عَلِيمٍ
(Remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his household: "Verily I have seen a fire; I will bring you from there some information, or I will bring you a burning brand, that you may warm yourselves."
Als Musa zu seinen Angehörigen sagte: "Ich habe ein Feuer wahrgenommen. Ich werde euch davon eine Nachricht bringen, oder ich bringe euch einen Leuchtkörper, ein brennendes Stück Holz, auf daß ihr euch (daran) wärmen könnt."
When Musa said to his family: Surely I see fire; I will bring to you from it some news, or I will bring to you therefrom a burning firebrand so that you may warm yourselves.
إِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِأَهْلِهِۦٓ إِنِّىٓ ءَانَسْتُ نَارًا سَـَٔاتِيكُم مِّنْهَا بِخَبَرٍ أَوْ ءَاتِيكُم بِشِهَابٍ قَبَسٍ لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَصْطَلُونَ
But when he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is whosoever is in the fire, and whosoever is round about it! And glorified be Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
Als er dort ankam, wurde ihm zugerufen: "Gesegnet ist wer im Feuer und wer in dessen Umgebung ist, und Preis sei Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
So when he came to it a voice was uttered saying: Blessed is Whoever is in the fire and whatever is about it; and glory be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds;
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهَا نُودِىَ أَنۢ بُورِكَ مَن فِى ٱلنَّارِ وَمَنْ حَوْلَهَا وَسُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
"O Musa (Moses)! Verily it is I, Allah, the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
O Musa, Ich bin es, gewiß, Ich bin Allah, der Allmächtige und Allweise."
O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Mighty, the Wise;
يَٰمُوسَىٰٓ إِنَّهُۥٓ أَنَا ٱللَّهُ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
"And throw down your stick!" But when he saw it moving as if it were a snake, he turned in flight, and did not look back. (It was said:) "O Musa (Moses)! Fear not: verily the Messengers fear not in front of Me.
Und: "Wirf deinen Stock hin." Doch als er sah, daß er sich hin und her bewegte, als wäre er eine flinke Schlange, kehrte er den Rücken und wandte sich nicht mehr um. "O Musa, fürchte dich nicht, denn bei Mir brauchen sich die Gesandten nicht zu fürchten.
And cast down your staff. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating and did not return: O Musa! fear not; surely the apostles shall not fear in My presence;
وَأَلْقِ عَصَاكَ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهَا تَهْتَزُّ كَأَنَّهَا جَآنٌّ وَلَّىٰ مُدْبِرًا وَلَمْ يُعَقِّبْ يَٰمُوسَىٰ لَا تَخَفْ إِنِّى لَا يَخَافُ لَدَىَّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
"Except him who has done wrong and afterwards has changed evil for good; then surely, I am Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Wer aber Unrecht getan und hierauf nach Bösem Gutes eingetauscht hat, so bin Ich Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
Neither he who has been unjust, then he does good instead after evil, for surely I am the Forgiving, the Merciful:
إِلَّا مَن ظَلَمَ ثُمَّ بَدَّلَ حُسْنًۢا بَعْدَ سُوٓءٍ فَإِنِّى غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
"And put your hand into your bosom, it will come forth white without hurt. (These are) among the nine signs (you will take) to Fir'aun (Pharaoh) and his people. Verily they are a people who are Fasiqun (rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
Und stecke deine Hand in deinen Brustschlitz, so kommt sie weiß, jedoch nicht von Übel befallen, heraus. (Dies zählt) zu neun Zeichen, (gerichtet) an Fir'aun und sein Volk. Gewiß, sie sind ein Volk von Frevlern."
And enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, it shall come forth white without evil; among nine signs to Firon and his people, surely they are a transgressing people.
وَأَدْخِلْ يَدَكَ فِى جَيْبِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ فِى تِسْعِ ءَايَٰتٍ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
But when Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) came to them, clear to see, they said: "This is a manifest magic."
Als dann Unsere Zeichen offenkundig sichtbar zu ihnen kamen, sagten sie: "Das ist deutliche Zauberei."
So when Our clear signs came to them, they said: This is clear enchantment.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْهُمْ ءَايَٰتُنَا مُبْصِرَةً قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat ) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-doers and liars.).
Und sie verleugneten sie, obwohl sie selbst davon überzeugt waren, aus Ungerechtigkeit und Überheblichkeit. So schau, wie das Ende der Unheilstifter war.
And they denied them unjustly and proudly while their soul had been convinced of them; consider, then how was the end of the mischief - makers.
وَجَحَدُوا۟ بِهَا وَٱسْتَيْقَنَتْهَآ أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا وَعُلُوًّا فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
And indeed We gave knowledge to Dawud (David) and Sulaiman (Solomon), and they both said: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has preferred us above many of His believing slaves!"
Und Wir gaben bereits Dawud und Sulaiman Wissen. Und sie sagten: "(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, der uns vor vielen Seiner gläubigen Diener bevorzugt hat!"
And certainly We gave knowledge to Dawood and Sulaiman, and they both said: Praise be to Allah, Who has made us to excel many of His believing servants.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا دَاوُۥدَ وَسُلَيْمَٰنَ عِلْمًا وَقَالَا ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى فَضَّلَنَا عَلَىٰ كَثِيرٍ مِّنْ عِبَادِهِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Sulaiman (Solomon) inherited (the knowledge of) Dawud (David). He said: "O mankind! We have been taught the language of birds, and on us have been bestowed all things. This, verily, is an evident grace (from Allah)."
Und Sulaiman beerbte Dawud und sagte: "O ihr Menschen, uns ist die Sprache der Vögel gelehrt worden, und uns wurde von allem gegeben. Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Huld."
And Sulaiman was Dawood's heir, and he said: O men! we have been taught the language of birds, and we have been given all things; most surely this is manifest grace.
وَوَرِثَ سُلَيْمَٰنُ دَاوُۥدَ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ عُلِّمْنَا مَنطِقَ ٱلطَّيْرِ وَأُوتِينَا مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْفَضْلُ ٱلْمُبِينُ
And there were gathered before Sulaiman (Solomon) his hosts of jinn and men, and birds, and they all were set in battle order (marching forward).
Und versammelt wurden für Sulaiman seine Heerscharen - unter den Ginn, Menschen und Vögeln -, und so wurden sie in Reihen geordnet.
And his hosts of the jinn and the men and the birds were gathered to him, and they were formed into groups.
وَحُشِرَ لِسُلَيْمَٰنَ جُنُودُهُۥ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ وَٱلْإِنسِ وَٱلطَّيْرِ فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ
Till, when they came to the valley of the ants, one of the ants said: "O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulaiman (Solomon) and his hosts should crush you, while they perceive not."
Als sie dann zum Ameisental kamen, sagte eine Ameise: "O ihr Ameisen, geht in eure Wohnungen hinein, damit euch ja nicht Sulaiman und seine Heerscharen niederwalzen, ohne daß sie merken."
Until when they came to the valley of the Naml, a Namlite said: O Naml! enter your houses, (that) Sulaiman and his hosts may not crush you while they do not know.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَىٰ وَادِ ٱلنَّمْلِ قَالَتْ نَمْلَةٌ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّمْلُ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مَسَٰكِنَكُمْ لَا يَحْطِمَنَّكُمْ سُلَيْمَٰنُ وَجُنُودُهُۥ وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
So he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] smiled, amused at her speech and said: "My Lord! Grant me the power and ability that I may be grateful for Your Favours which You have bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I may do righteous good deeds that will please You, and admit me by Your Mercy among Your righteous slaves."
Da lächelte er erheitert über ihre Worte und sagte: "Mein Herr, veranlasse mich, für Deine Gunst zu danken, die Du mir und meinen Eltern erwiesen hast, und rechtschaffen zu handeln, womit Du zufrieden bist. Und lasse mich durch Deine Barmherzigkeit eingehen in die Reihen Deiner rechtschaffenen Diener."
So he smiled, wondering at her word, and said: My Lord! grant me that I should be grateful for Thy favor which Thou hast bestowed on me and on my parents, and that I should do good such as Thou art pleased with, and make me enter, by Thy mercy, into Thy servants, the good ones.
فَتَبَسَّمَ ضَاحِكًا مِّن قَوْلِهَا وَقَالَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِىٓ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ ٱلَّتِىٓ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَٰلِدَىَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَٰلِحًا تَرْضَىٰهُ وَأَدْخِلْنِى بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِى عِبَادِك
He inspected the birds, and said: "What is the matter that I see not the hoopoe? Or is he among the absentees?
Und er schaute bei den Vögeln nach. Da sagte er: "Wie kommt es, daß ich den Wiedehopf nicht sehe? Befindet er sich etwa unter den Abwesenden?
And he reviewed the birds, then said: How is it I see not the hoopoe or is it that he is of the absentees?
وَتَفَقَّدَ ٱلطَّيْرَ فَقَالَ مَا لِىَ لَآ أَرَى ٱلْهُدْهُدَ أَمْ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْغَآئِبِينَ
"I will surely punish him with a severe torment, or slaughter him, unless he brings me a clear reason."
Ich werde ihn ganz gewiß strengstens strafen, oder ich werde ihn ganz gewiß hinrichten (lassen)', es sei denn, er bringt mir fürwahr eine deutliche Ermächtigung."
I will most certainly punish him with a severe punishment, or kill him, or he shall bring to me a clear plea.
لَأُعَذِّبَنَّهُۥ عَذَابًا شَدِيدًا أَوْ لَأَا۟ذْبَحَنَّهُۥٓ أَوْ لَيَأْتِيَنِّى بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
But the hoopoe stayed not long: he (came up and) said: "I have grasped (the knowledge of a thing) which you have not grasped and I have come to you from Saba' (Sheba) with true news.
Aber er blieb nicht lange aus. Er sagte: "Ich habe (an Wissen) erfaßt, was du nicht erfaßt hast. Und ich bringe dir aus Saba sichere Kunde.
And he tarried not long, then said: I comprehend that which you do not comprehend and I have brought to you a sure information from Sheba.
فَمَكَثَ غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَحَطتُ بِمَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ وَجِئْتُكَ مِن سَبَإٍۭ بِنَبَإٍ يَقِينٍ
"I found a woman ruling over them: she has been given all things that could be possessed by any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne.
Gewiß, ich habe herausgefunden, daß eine Frau über sie herrscht, daß ihr von allem gegeben worden ist und daß sie einen gewaltigen Thron hat.
Surely I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given abundance and she has a mighty throne:
إِنِّى وَجَدتُّ ٱمْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَأُوتِيَتْ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَلَهَا عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ
"I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Shaitan (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way: so they have no guidance."
Ich habe herausgefunden, daß sie und ihr Volk sich vor der Sonne niederwerfen, anstatt vor Allah. Und der Satan hat ihnen ihre Taten ausgeschmückt und sie dann vom Weg abgehalten, so daß sie nicht rechtgeleitet sind,
I found her and her people adoring the sun instead of Allah, and the Shaitan has made their deeds fair - seeming to them and thus turned them from the way, so they do not go aright
وَجَدتُّهَا وَقَوْمَهَا يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَعْمَٰلَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ
[As Shaitan (Satan) has barred them from Allah's Way] so they do not worship (prostrate themselves before) Allah, Who brings to light what is hidden in the heavens and the earth, and knows what you conceal and what you reveal. [Tafsir At-Tabari]
(dies), damit sie sich nicht vor Allah niederwerfen, Der das Versteckte in den Himmeln und auf der Erde herausbringt und weiß, was ihr verbergt, und was ihr offenlegt.
That they do not make obeisance to Allah, Who brings forth what is hidden in the heavens and the earth and knows what you hide and what you make manifest:
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِى يُخْرِجُ ٱلْخَبْءَ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفُونَ وَمَا تُعْلِنُونَ
Allah, La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Lord of the Supreme Throne!
Allah - es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Herrn des gewaltigen Thrones."
Allah, there is no god but He: He is the Lord of mighty power.
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
[Sulaiman (Solomon)] said: "We shall see whether you speak the truth or you are (one) of the liars.
Er sagte: "Wir werden schauen, ob du die Wahrheit sagst oder ob du zu den Lügnern gehörst.
He said: We will see whether you have told the truth or whether you are of the liars:
قَالَ سَنَنظُرُ أَصَدَقْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰذِبِينَ
"Go you with this letter of mine, and deliver it to them, then draw back from them, and see what (answer) they return."
Geh mit diesem meinem Schreiben, überbringe es ihnen und kehre dich hierauf von ihnen ab. Dann schau, was sie erwidern."
Take this my letter and hand it over to them, then turn away from them and see what (answer) they return.
ٱذْهَب بِّكِتَٰبِى هَٰذَا فَأَلْقِهْ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ تَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا يَرْجِعُونَ
She said: "O chiefs! Verily! Here is delivered to me a noble letter,
Sie sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, mir ist ein edles Schreiben zugeworfen worden.
She said: O chief! surely an honorable letter has been delivered to me
قَالَتْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ إِنِّىٓ أُلْقِىَ إِلَىَّ كِتَٰبٌ كَرِيمٌ
"Verily it is from Sulaiman (Solomon), and verily, it (reads): In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
Gewiß, es ist von Sulaiman, und es lautet: ,Im Namen Allahs, des Allerbarmers, des Barmherzigen.
Surely it is from Sulaiman, and surely it is in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful;
إِنَّهُۥ مِن سُلَيْمَٰنَ وَإِنَّهُۥ بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
"Be you not exalted against me, but come to me as Muslims (true believers who submit to Allah with full submission).' "
Seid mir gegenüber nicht überheblich und kommt als (Allah) Ergebene zu mir'."
Saying: exalt not yourselves against me and come to me in submission.
أَلَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَىَّ وَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ
She said: "O chiefs! Advise me in (this) case of mine. I decide no case till you are present with me (and give me your opinions)."
Sie sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, gebt mir eure Meinung über meine Angelegenheit bekannt; ich pflege ja keine Angelegenheit zu entscheiden, solange ihr nicht bei mir anwesend seid."
She said: O chiefs! give me advice respecting my affair: I never decide an affair until you are in my presence.
قَالَتْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَفْتُونِى فِىٓ أَمْرِى مَا كُنتُ قَاطِعَةً أَمْرًا حَتَّىٰ تَشْهَدُونِ
They said: "We have great strength, and great ability for war, but it is for you to command: so think over what you will command."
Sie sagten: "Wir besitzen eine Streitmacht und besitzen eine starke Gewalt, doch es steht dir zu, zu befehlen. So sieh zu, was du befehlen willst."
They said: We are possessors of strength and possessors of mighty prowess, and the command is yours, therefore see what you will command.
قَالُوا۟ نَحْنُ أُو۟لُوا۟ قُوَّةٍ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ وَٱلْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكِ فَٱنظُرِى مَاذَا تَأْمُرِينَ
She said: "Verily kings, when they enter a town (country), they despoil it and make the most honourable amongst its people the lowest. And thus they do.
Sie sagte: "Gewiß, wenn Könige eine Stadt betreten, verderben sie sie und machen die Mächtigen ihrer Bewohner zu Erniedrigten, und so handeln sie.
She said: Surely the kings, when they enter a town, ruin it and make the noblest of its people to be low, and thus they (always) do;
قَالَتْ إِنَّ ٱلْمُلُوكَ إِذَا دَخَلُوا۟ قَرْيَةً أَفْسَدُوهَا وَجَعَلُوٓا۟ أَعِزَّةَ أَهْلِهَآ أَذِلَّةً وَكَذَٰلِكَ يَفْعَلُونَ
"But verily! I am going to send him a present, and see with what (answer) the messengers return."
Gewiß, ich werde (Boten) zu ihnen senden mit einem Geschenk und dann abwarten, was (für eine Antwort) die Gesandten zurückbringen."
And surely I am going to send a present to them, and shall wait to see what (answer) do the apostles bring back.
وَإِنِّى مُرْسِلَةٌ إِلَيْهِم بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَنَاظِرَةٌۢ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ ٱلْمُرْسَلُونَ
So when (the messengers with the present) came to Sulaiman (Solomon), he said: "Will you help me in wealth? What Allah has given me is better than that which He has given you! Nay, you rejoice in your gift!"
Als er zu Sulaiman kam, sagte dieser : "Wollt ihr mich mit Besitz unterstützen? Aber das, was mir Allah gegeben hat, ist besser als das, was Er euch gegeben hat. Nein! Vielmehr seid ihr es, die ihr über euer Geschenk froh seid.
So when he came to Sulaiman, he said: What! will you help me with wealth? But what Allah has given me is better than what He has given you. Nay, you are exultant because of your present;
فَلَمَّا جَآءَ سُلَيْمَٰنَ قَالَ أَتُمِدُّونَنِ بِمَالٍ فَمَآ ءَاتَىٰنِۦَ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّآ ءَاتَىٰكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بِهَدِيَّتِكُمْ تَفْرَحُونَ
[Then Sulaiman (Solomon) said to the chief of her messengers who brought the present]: "Go back to them. We verily shall come to them with hosts that they cannot resist, and we shall drive them out from there in disgrace, and they will be abased."
Kehr zu ihnen zurück. Wir werden ganz gewiß mit Heerscharen über sie kommen, denen sie nichts entgegenzusetzen haben. Und wir werden sie ganz gewiß erniedrigt daraus vertreiben, als Geringgeachtete."
Go back to them, so we will most certainly come to them with hosts which they shall have no power to oppose, and we will most certainly expel them therefrom in abasement, and they shall be in a state of ignominy.
ٱرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَنَأْتِيَنَّهُم بِجُنُودٍ لَّا قِبَلَ لَهُم بِهَا وَلَنُخْرِجَنَّهُم مِّنْهَآ أَذِلَّةً وَهُمْ صَٰغِرُونَ
He said: "O chiefs! Which of you can bring me her throne before they come to me surrendering themselves in obedience?"
Er sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, wer von euch bringt mir ihren Thron, bevor sie als (Allah) Ergebene zu mir kommen?"
He said: O chiefs! which of you can bring to me her throne before they come to me in submission?
قَالَ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِى بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ
A 'Ifrit (strong one) from the jinn said: "I will bring it to you before you rise from your place (council). And verily, I am indeed strong, and trustworthy for such work."
Ein unüberwindlicher von den Ginn sagte: "Ich bringe ihn dir, bevor du dich von deiner Stelle erhebst. Und ich bin wahrlich stark (genug) dazu und vertrauenswürdig."
One audacious among the jinn said: I will bring it to you before you rise up from your place; and most surely I am strong (and) trusty for it.
قَالَ عِفْرِيتٌ مِّنَ ٱلْجِنِّ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن تَقُومَ مِن مَّقَامِكَ وَإِنِّى عَلَيْهِ لَقَوِىٌّ أَمِينٌ
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: "I will bring it to you within the twinkling of an eye!" Then when he [Sulaiman (Solomon)] saw it placed before him, he said: "This is by the Grace of my Lord - to test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And whoever is grateful, truly, his gratitude is for (the good of) his ownself; and whoever is ungrateful, (he is ungrateful only for the loss of his ownself). Certainly my Lord is Rich (Free of all needs), Bountiful."
Derjenige, der Wissen aus der Schrift hatte, sagte: "Ich bringe ihn dir, bevor dein Blick zu dir zurückkehrt." Als er ihn unbeweglich bei sich stehen sah, sagte er: "Dies ist von der Huld meines Herrn, damit Er mich prüft, ob ich dankbar oder undankbar bin. Wer dankbar ist, der ist nur zu seinem eigenen Vorteil dankbar; wer aber undankbar ist - so ist mein Herr unbedürftig und freigebig."
One who had the knowledge of the Book said: I will bring it to you in the twinkling of an eye. Then when he saw it settled beside him, he said: This is of the grace of my Lord that He may try me whether I am grateful or ungrateful; and whoever is grateful, he is grateful only for his own soul, and whoever is ungrateful, then surely my Lord is Self - sufficient, Honored.
قَالَ ٱلَّذِى عِندَهُۥ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ أَنَا۠ ءَاتِيكَ بِهِۦ قَبْلَ أَن يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ فَلَمَّا رَءَاهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِندَهُۥ قَالَ هَٰذَا مِن فَضْلِ رَبِّى لِيَبْلُوَنِىٓ ءَأَشْكُرُ أ
He said: "Disguise her throne for her that we may see whether she will be guided (to recognise her throne), or she will be one of those not guided."
Er sagte: "Macht ihr ihren Thron unkenntlich, wir wollen schauen, ob sie rechtgeleitet wird oder ob sie zu denjenigen gehört, die nicht rechtgeleitet werden."
He said: Alter her throne for her, we will see whether she follows the right way or is of those who do not go aright.
قَالَ نَكِّرُوا۟ لَهَا عَرْشَهَا نَنظُرْ أَتَهْتَدِىٓ أَمْ تَكُونُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَهْتَدُونَ
So when she came, it was said (to her): "Is your throne like this?" She said: "(It is) as though it were the very same." And [Sulaiman (Solomon) said]: "Knowledge was bestowed on us before her, and we were submitted to Allah (in Islam as Muslims before her)."
Als sie kam, wurde (zu ihr) gesagt: "Ist dein Thron so (wie dieser hier)?" Sie sagte: "Es ist so, als ob er es sei.8" (Sulaiman sagte:) "Und uns wurde schon davor das Wissen gegeben, und wir waren (Allah) ergeben."
So when she came, it was said: Is your throne like this? She said: It is as it were the same, and we were given the knowledge before it, and we were submissive.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ قِيلَ أَهَٰكَذَا عَرْشُكِ قَالَتْ كَأَنَّهُۥ هُوَ وَأُوتِينَا ٱلْعِلْمَ مِن قَبْلِهَا وَكُنَّا مُسْلِمِينَ
And that which she used to worship besides Allah has prevented her (from Islam), for she was of a disbelieving people.
Aber abgehalten (vom Glauben) hat sie das, dem sie anstatt Allahs diente, denn sie gehörte zu ungläubigen Leuten.
And what she worshipped besides Allah prevented her, surely she was of an unbelieving people.
وَصَدَّهَا مَا كَانَت تَّعْبُدُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّهَا كَانَتْ مِن قَوْمٍ كَٰفِرِينَ
It was said to her: "Enter As-Sarh" (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace): but when she saw it, she thought it was a pool, and she (tucked up her clothes) uncovering her legs. (Sulaiman (Solomon)) said: "Verily, it is a Sarh (a glass surface with water underneath it or a palace)." She said: "My Lord! Verily, I have wronged myself, and I submit [in Islam, together with Sulaiman (Solomon)] to Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)."
Es wurde zu ihr gesagt: "Tritt in den Prachtbau ein." Als sie ihn sah, hielt sie ihn für ein tiefes Wasser und entblößte ihre Unterschenkel. Er sagte: "Es ist ein mit Glas ausgelegter Prachtbau." Sie sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mir selbst Unrecht zugefügt, aber ich ergebe mich (nun), zusammen mit Sulaiman, Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner."
It was said to her: Enter the palace; but when she saw it she deemed it to be a great expanse of water, and bared her legs. He said: Surely it is a palace made smooth with glass. She said: My Lord! surely I have been unjust to myself, and I submit with Sulaiman to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
قِيلَ لَهَا ٱدْخُلِى ٱلصَّرْحَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ حَسِبَتْهُ لُجَّةً وَكَشَفَتْ عَن سَاقَيْهَا قَالَ إِنَّهُۥ صَرْحٌ مُّمَرَّدٌ مِّن قَوَارِيرَ قَالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّى ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِى وَأَسْلَمْتُ مَعَ سُلَيْمَ
And indeed We sent to Thamud their brother Salih, saying: "Worship Allah (Alone and none else). Then look! They became two parties (believers and disbelievers) quarreling with each other."
Und Wir sandten bereits zu den Tamud ihren Bruder Salih: "Dient Allah." Da waren es sogleich zwei Gruppen, die miteinander stritten.
And certainly We sent to Samood their brother Salih, saying: Serve Allah; and lo! they became two sects quarrelling with each other.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ ثَمُودَ أَخَاهُمْ صَٰلِحًا أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ فَإِذَا هُمْ فَرِيقَانِ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
He said: "O my people! Why do you seek to hasten the evil (torment) before the good (Allah's Mercy)? Why seek you not the Forgiveness of Allah, that you may receive mercy?"
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, warum wünscht ihr, das Schlechte vor dem Guten zu beschleunigen? Würdet ihr doch Allah um Vergebung bitten, auf daß ihr Erbarmen finden möget!"
He said: O my people! why do you seek to hasten on the evil before the good? Why do you not ask forgiveness of Allah so that you may be dealt with mercifully?
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ لِمَ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ قَبْلَ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ لَوْلَا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ
They said: "We augur ill omen from you and those with you." He said: "Your ill omen is with Allah; nay, but you are a people that are being tested."
Sie sagten: "Wir sehen ein böses Vorzeichen in dir und in denjenigen, die mit dir sind." Er sagte: "Euer Vorzeichen ist bei Allah. Nein! Vielmehr seid ihr Leute, die der Versuchung ausgesetzt werden."
They said: We have met with ill luck on account of you and on account of those with you. He said: The cause of your evil fortune is with Allah; nay, you are a people who are tried.
قَالُوا۟ ٱطَّيَّرْنَا بِكَ وَبِمَن مَّعَكَ قَالَ طَٰٓئِرُكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تُفْتَنُونَ
And there were in the city nine men (from the sons of their chiefs), who made mischief in the land, and would not reform.
Nun befanden sich in der Stadt neun Mitglieder einer Sippschaft, die auf der Erde Unheil stifteten und keine Besserung brachten.
And there were in the city nine persons who made mischief in the land and did not act aright.
وَكَانَ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ تِسْعَةُ رَهْطٍ يُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا يُصْلِحُونَ
They said: "Swear one to another by Allah that we shall make a secret night attack on him and his household, and thereafter we will surely say to his near relatives: 'We witnessed not the destruction of his household, and verily we are telling the truth.'"
Sie sagten: "Schwört einander bei Allah: Wir werden ganz gewiß ihn und seine Angehörigen nachts überfallen, und hierauf werden wir zu seinem nächsten Verwandten sagen: ,Wir waren bei der Vernichtung seiner Angehörigen nicht zugegen, und wir sagen ganz gewiß die Wahrheit'."
They said: Swear to each other by Allah that we will certainly make a sudden attack on him and his family by night, then we will say to his heir: We did not witness the destruction of his family, and we are most surely truthful.
قَالُوا۟ تَقَاسَمُوا۟ بِٱللَّهِ لَنُبَيِّتَنَّهُۥ وَأَهْلَهُۥ ثُمَّ لَنَقُولَنَّ لِوَلِيِّهِۦ مَا شَهِدْنَا مَهْلِكَ أَهْلِهِۦ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ
So they plotted a plot, and We plotted a plot, while they perceived not.
Sie schmiedeten Ränke, und Wir schmiedeten Ränke, ohne daß sie merkten.
And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan while they perceived not.
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا وَمَكَرْنَا مَكْرًا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Then see how was the end of their plot! Verily! We destroyed them and their nation, all together.
Schau nur, wie die Folge ihrer Ränke war: Wir zerstörten sie und ihr Volk allesamt.
See, then, how was the end of their plan that We destroyed them and their people, all (of them).
فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ مَكْرِهِمْ أَنَّا دَمَّرْنَٰهُمْ وَقَوْمَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
These are their houses in utter ruin, for they did wrong. Verily, in this is indeed an Ayah (a lesson or a sign) for people who know.
Dies sind nun ihre Häuser, wüst dafür, daß sie Unrecht taten. Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für Leute, die Bescheid wissen.
So those are their houses fallen down because they were unjust, most surely there is a sign in this for a people who know.
فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خَاوِيَةًۢ بِمَا ظَلَمُوٓا۟ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ
And We saved those who believed, and used to fear Allah, and keep their duty to Him.
Und Wir retteten diejenigen, die glaubten und gottesfürchtig waren.
And We delivered those who believed and who guarded (against evil).
وَأَنجَيْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ يَتَّقُونَ
And (remember) Lut (Lot)! When he said to his people. Do you commit Al-Fahishah (evil, great sin, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, sodomy) while you see (one another doing evil without any screen)?"
Und (Wir sandten) Lut. Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr denn sehend(en Auges) das Abscheuliche begehen?
And (We sent) Lut, when he said to his people: What! do you commit indecency while you see?
وَلُوطًا إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَتَأْتُونَ ٱلْفَٰحِشَةَ وَأَنتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ
"Do you practise your lusts on men instead of women? Nay, but you are a people who behave senselessly."
Laßt ihr euch denn wahrlich in Begierde mit den Männern ein anstatt mit den Frauen? Aber nein! Ihr seid Leute, die töricht sind."
What! do you indeed approach men lustfully rather than women? Nay, you are a people who act ignorantly.
أَئِنَّكُمْ لَتَأْتُونَ ٱلرِّجَالَ شَهْوَةً مِّن دُونِ ٱلنِّسَآءِ بَلْ أَنتُمْ قَوْمٌ تَجْهَلُونَ
There was no other answer given by his people except that they said: "Drive out the family of Lut (Lot) from your city Verily, these are men who want to be clean and pure!"
Doch die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, daß sie sagten: "Vertreibt die Sippe Luts aus eurer Stadt! Das sind Menschen, die sich rein halten."
But the answer of his people was no other except that they ~s said: Turn out Lut's followers from your town; surely they are a people who would keep pure!
فَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوٓا۟ ءَالَ لُوطٍ مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ
So We saved him and his family, except his wife. We destined her to be of those who remained behind.
Da retteten Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen, außer seiner Frau; Wir bestimmten, daß sie zu denjenigen gehörte, die zurückblieben.
But We delivered him and his followers except his wife; We ordained her to be of those who remained behind.
فَأَنجَيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَٰهَا مِنَ ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
And We rained down on them a rain (of stones). So evil was the rain of those who were warned.
Und Wir ließen einen Regen auf sie niedergehen; wie böse war der Regen der Ge warnten!
And We rained on them a rain, and evil was the rain of those who had been warned.
وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِم مَّطَرًا فَسَآءَ مَطَرُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Praise and thanks be to Allah, and peace be on His slaves whom He has chosen (for His Message)! Is Allah better, or (all) that you ascribe as partners (to Him)?" (Of course, Allah is Better).
Sag: (Alles) Lob gehört Allah, und Friede sei auf Seinen Dienern, die Er Sich auserwählt hat! Ist denn Allah besser oder das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen?
Say: Praise be to Allah and peace on His servants whom He has chosen: is Allah better, or what they associate (with Him)?
قُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِهِ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱصْطَفَىٰٓ ءَآللَّهُ خَيْرٌ أَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Is not He (better than your gods) Who created the heavens and the earth, and sends down for you water (rain) from the sky, whereby We cause to grow wonderful gardens full of beauty and delight? It is not in your ability to cause the growth of their trees. Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but they are a people who ascribe equals (to Him)!
Oder (ist besser) Wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat und für euch vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt, durch das Wir in Entzücken versetzende umfriedete Gärten wachsen lassen, deren Bäume unmöglich ihr wachsen lassen könntet. Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Nein! Vielmehr sind sie Leute, die (Allah andere) gleichsetzen.
Nay, He Who created the heavens and the earth, and sent down for you water from the cloud; then We cause to grow thereby beautiful gardens; it is not possible for you that you should make the trees thereof to grow. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! they are people who deviate.
أَمَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَأَنزَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَنۢبَتْنَا بِهِۦ حَدَآئِقَ ذَاتَ بَهْجَةٍ مَّا كَانَ لَكُمْ أَن تُنۢبِتُوا۟ شَجَرَهَآ أَءِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ بَلْ هُمْ
Is not He (better than your gods) Who has made the earth as a fixed abode, and has placed rivers in its midst, and has placed firm mountains therein, and has set a barrier between the two seas (of salt and sweet water)? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Nay, but most of them know not!
Oder (ist besser) Wer die Erde zu einem festen Grund gemacht und Flüsse durch sie gemacht und festgegründete Berge (auf) ihr gemacht und zwischen den beiden Meeren eine Schranke gemacht hat? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Aber nein! Die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
Or, Who made the earth a restingplace, and made in it rivers, and raised on it mountains and placed between the two seas a barrier. Is there a god with Allah? Nay! most of them do not know!
أَمَّن جَعَلَ ٱلْأَرْضَ قَرَارًا وَجَعَلَ خِلَٰلَهَآ أَنْهَٰرًا وَجَعَلَ لَهَا رَوَٰسِىَ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ حَاجِزًا أَءِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls on Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Little is that you remember!
Oder (ist besser) Wer den in einer Notlage Befindlichen erhört, wenn er Ihn anruft, und das Böse hinwegnimmt und euch zu Nachfolgern (auf) der Erde macht? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Wie wenig ihr bedenkt!
Or, Who answers the distressed one when he calls upon Him and removes the evil, and He will make you successors in the earth. Is there a god with Allah? Little is it that you mind!
أَمَّن يُجِيبُ ٱلْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَيَجْعَلُكُمْ خُلَفَآءَ ٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ قَلِيلًا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Is not He (better than your gods) Who guides you in the darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His Mercy (rain)? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? High Exalted be Allah above all that they associate as partners (to Him)!
Oder (ist besser) Wer euch in den Finsternissen des Festlandes und des Meeres (den rechten Weg) leitet und Wer die Winde als Frohboten Seiner Barmherzigkeit (voraus)sendet? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Erhaben ist Allah über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Or, Who guides you in utter darkness of the land and the sea, and Who sends the winds as good news before His mercy. Is there a god with Allah? Exalted by Allah above what they associate (with Him).
أَمَّن يَهْدِيكُمْ فِى ظُلُمَٰتِ ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ وَمَن يُرْسِلُ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦٓ أَءِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ تَعَٰلَى ٱللَّهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
Is not He (better than your so-called gods) Who originates creation, and shall thereafter repeat it, and Who provides for you from heaven and earth? Is there any ilah (god) with Allah? Say: "Bring forth your proofs, if you are truthful."
Oder (ist besser) Wer die Schöpfung am Anfang macht und sie hierauf wiederholt und Wer euch vom Himmel und von der Erde versorgt? Gibt es denn einen (anderen) Gott neben Allah? Sag: Bringt euren Beweis vor, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Or, Who originates the creation, then reproduces it and Who gives you sustenance from the heaven and the earth. Is there a god With Allah? Say: Bring your proof if you are truthful.
أَمَّن يَبْدَؤُا۟ ٱلْخَلْقَ ثُمَّ يُعِيدُهُۥ وَمَن يَرْزُقُكُم مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَءِلَٰهٌ مَّعَ ٱللَّهِ قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Say: "None in the heavens and the earth knows the Ghaib (Unseen) except Allah, nor can they perceive when they shall be resurrected."
Sag: Über das Verborgene weiß nicht Bescheid wer in den Himmeln und auf der Erde ist, außer Allah; und sie merken nicht, wann sie auferweckt werden.
Say: No one in the heavens and the earth knows the unseen but Allah; and they do not know when they shall be raised.
قُل لَّا يَعْلَمُ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلْغَيْبَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ أَيَّانَ يُبْعَثُونَ
Nay, they have no knowledge of the Hereafter. Nay, they are in doubt about it. Nay, they are in complete blindness about it.
Nein! Vielmehr hat ihr Wissen über das Jenseits versagt. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie darüber im Zweifel. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie ihm gegenüber blind.
Nay, their knowledge respecting the hereafter is slight and hasty; nay, they are in doubt about it; nay, they are quite blind to it
بَلِ ٱدَّٰرَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ مِّنْهَا بَلْ هُم مِّنْهَا عَمُونَ
And those who disbelieve say: "When we have become dust - we and our fathers - shall we really be brought forth (again)?
Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "Wenn wir zu Erde geworden sind, und (auch) unsere Väter, sollen wir denn dann wirklich wieder hervorgebracht werden?
And those who disbelieve say: What! when we have become dust and our fathers (too), shall we certainly be brought forth?
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَءِذَا كُنَّا تُرَٰبًا وَءَابَآؤُنَآ أَئِنَّا لَمُخْرَجُونَ
"Indeed we were promised this - we and our forefathers before (us), verily, these are nothing but tales of ancients."
Dies ist zuvor bereits uns und unseren Vätern versprochen worden. Das sind nur Fabeln der Früheren."
We have certainly been promised this, we and our fathers before; these are naught but stories of the ancients
لَقَدْ وُعِدْنَا هَٰذَا نَحْنُ وَءَابَآؤُنَا مِن قَبْلُ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Say to them (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) "Travel in the land and see how has been the end of the Mujrimun (criminals, those who denied Allah's Messengers and disobeyed Allah)."
Sag: Reist auf der Erde umher und schaut, wie das Ende der Übeltäter war.
Say: Travel in the earth, then see how was the end of the guilty.
قُلْ سِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
And grieve you not over them, nor be straitened (in distress) because of what they plot.
Sei nicht traurig über sie, und sei nicht in Beklommenheit wegen der Ränke, die sie schmieden.
And grieve not for them and be not distressed because of what they plan.
وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا تَكُن فِى ضَيْقٍ مِّمَّا يَمْكُرُونَ
And they (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) say: "When (will) this promise (be fulfilled), if you are truthful?"
Und sie sagen: "Wann wird dieses Versprechen eintreten, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?"
And they say: When will this threat come to pass, if you are truthful?
وَيَقُولُونَ مَتَىٰ هَٰذَا ٱلْوَعْدُ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Say: "Perhaps that which you wish to hasten on, may be close behind you.
Sag: Vielleicht ist dicht hinter euch einiges von dem, was ihr zu beschleunigen wünscht.
Say: Maybe there may have drawn near to you somewhat of that which you seek to hasten on.
قُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونَ رَدِفَ لَكُم بَعْضُ ٱلَّذِى تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
"Verily, your Lord is full of Grace for mankind, yet most of them do not give thanks."
Dein Herr ist wahrlich voll Huld gegen die Menschen. Aber die meisten von ihnen sind nicht dankbar.
And surely your Lord is the Lord of grace to men, but most of them are not grateful.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَذُو فَضْلٍ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَشْكُرُونَ
And verily, your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they reveal.
Und dein Herr weiß fürwahr, was ihre Brüste verhehlen und was sie offenlegen.
And most surely your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they manifest.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيَعْلَمُ مَا تُكِنُّ صُدُورُهُمْ وَمَا يُعْلِنُونَ
And there is nothing hidden in the heaven and the earth but it is in a Clear Book (i.e. Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz).
Und es gibt nichts Verborgenes im Himmel und auf der Erde, das nicht in einem deutlichen Buch (verzeichnet) wäre.
And there is nothing concealed in the heaven and the earth but it is in a clear book.
وَمَا مِنْ غَآئِبَةٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا فِى كِتَٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ
Verily, this Qur'an narrates to the Children of Israel most of that in which they differ.
Gewiß, dieser Qur'an erzählt den Kindern Isra'ils das meiste von dem, worüber sie uneinig sind.
Surely this Quran declares to the children of Israel most of what they differ in.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ يَقُصُّ عَلَىٰ بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ أَكْثَرَ ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ
And truly, it (this Qur'an) is a guide and a mercy for the believers.
Und es ist wahrlich eine Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für die Gläubigen.
And most surely it is a guidance and a mercy for the believers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَهُدًى وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Verily, your Lord will decide between them (various sects) by His Judgement. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Knowing.
Gewiß, dein Herr wird zwischen ihnen durch Sein Urteil entscheiden. Und Er ist der Allmächtige und Allwissende.
Surely your Lord will judge between them by his judgment, and He is the Mighty, the knowing.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْضِى بَيْنَهُم بِحُكْمِهِۦ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
So put your trust in Allah; surely, you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are on manifest truth.
So verlasse dich auf Allah, denn du verfährst nach der offenkundigen Wahrheit.
Therefore rely on Allah; surely you are on the clear truth.
فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنَّكَ عَلَى ٱلْحَقِّ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Verily, you cannot make the dead to hear nor can you make the deaf to hear the call (i.e. benefit them and similarly the disbelievers), when they flee, turning their backs.
Du kannst weder die Toten hören lassen noch die Tauben den Ruf hören lassen, wenn sie den Rücken kehren.
Surely you do not make the dead to hear, and you do not make the deaf to hear the call when they go back retreating.
إِنَّكَ لَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ وَلَا تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ ٱلدُّعَآءَ إِذَا وَلَّوْا۟ مُدْبِرِينَ
Nor can you lead the blind out of their error. You can only make to hear those who believe in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and who have submitted (themselves to Allah in Islam as Muslims).
Noch kannst du die Blinden aus ihrem Irrtum heraus rechtleiten. Hören lassen kannst du nur, wer an Unsere Zeichen glaubt und die (Uns) somit ergeben sind.
Nor can you be a guide to the blind out of their error; you cannot make to bear (any one) except those who believe in Our communications, so they submit.
وَمَآ أَنتَ بِهَٰدِى ٱلْعُمْىِ عَن ضَلَٰلَتِهِمْ إِن تُسْمِعُ إِلَّا مَن يُؤْمِنُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُم مُّسْلِمُونَ
And when the Word (of torment) is fulfilled against them, We shall bring out from the earth a beast for them, to speak to them because mankind believed not with certainty in Our Ayat (Verses of the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).
Und wenn das Wort über sie fällig wird, bringen Wir ihnen ein Tier aus der Erde hervor, das zu ihnen spricht; (dies), weil die Menschen von Unseren Zeichen nicht überzeugt sind.
And when the word shall come to pass against them, We shall bring forth for them a creature from the earth that shall wound them, because people did not believe in Our communications.
وَإِذَا وَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْرَجْنَا لَهُمْ دَآبَّةً مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ تُكَلِّمُهُمْ أَنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ كَانُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا لَا يُوقِنُونَ
And (remember) the Day when We shall gather out of every nation a troop of those who denied Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), and (then) they (all) shall be driven (to the place of reckoning),
Und (denke an) den Tag, da Wir aus jeder Gemeinschaft eine Schar von denjenigen versammeln werden, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklären, und sie dann in Reihen geordnet werden.
And on the day when We will gather from every nation a party from among those who rejected Our communications, then they shall be formed into groups.
وَيَوْمَ نَحْشُرُ مِن كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ فَوْجًا مِّمَّن يُكَذِّبُ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَهُمْ يُوزَعُونَ
Till, when they come (before their Lord at the place of reckoning), He will say: "Did you deny My Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) whereas you comprehended them not by knowledge (of their truth or falsehood), or what (else) was it that you used to do?"
Wenn sie dann kommen, sagt Er: "Habt ihr denn Meine Zeichen für Lüge erklärt und davon kein umfassendes Wissen gehabt, oder was habt ihr denn sonst getan?"
Until when they come, He will say: Did you reject My communications while you had no comprehensive knowledge of them? Or what was it that you did?
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءُو قَالَ أَكَذَّبْتُم بِـَٔايَٰتِى وَلَمْ تُحِيطُوا۟ بِهَا عِلْمًا أَمَّاذَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
And the Word (of torment) will be fulfilled against them, because they have done wrong, and they will be unable to speak (in order to defend themselves).
Und das Wort wird über sie fällig werden dafür, daß sie Unrecht taten, und da werden sie nicht reden.
And the word shall come to pass against them because they were unjust, so they shall not speak.
وَوَقَعَ ٱلْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِم بِمَا ظَلَمُوا۟ فَهُمْ لَا يَنطِقُونَ
See they not that We have made the night for them to rest therein, and the day sight-giving? Verily, in this are Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) for the people who believe.
Sehen sie nicht, daß Wir die Nacht gemacht haben, damit sie in ihr ruhen, und den Tag hell? Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute, die glauben.
Do they not consider that We have made the night that. they may rest therein, and the day to give light? Most surely there are signs in this for a people who believe.
أَلَمْ يَرَوْا۟ أَنَّا جَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا۟ فِيهِ وَٱلنَّهَارَ مُبْصِرًا إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يُؤْمِنُونَ
And (remember) the Day on which the Trumpet will be blown - and all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth, will be terrified except him whom Allah will (exempt). And all shall come to Him, humbled.
Und (denke an) den Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und da (all) diejenigen erschrecken, die in den Himmeln und die auf der Erde sind, außer wer Allah will. Und alle kommen in Demut zu Ihm.
And on the day when the trumpet shall be blown, then those who are in the heavens and those who are in the earth shall be terrified except such as Allah please, and all shall come to him abased.
وَيَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَفَزِعَ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ وَكُلٌّ أَتَوْهُ دَٰخِرِينَ
And you will see the mountains and think them solid, but they shall pass away as the passing away of the clouds. The Work of Allah, Who perfected all things, verily He is Well-Acquainted with what you do.
Und du siehst die Berge, von denen du meinst, sie seien unbeweglich, während sie wie Wolken vorbeiziehen. - (Es ist) das Werk Allahs, Der alles sehr geschickt gemacht hat. Gewiß, Er ist Kundig dessen, was ihr tut.
And you see the mountains, you think them to be solid, and they shall pass away as the passing away of the cloud - - the handiwork of Allah Who has made every thing thoroughly; surely He is Aware of what you do.
وَتَرَى ٱلْجِبَالَ تَحْسَبُهَا جَامِدَةً وَهِىَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ ٱلسَّحَابِ صُنْعَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ إِنَّهُۥ خَبِيرٌۢ بِمَا تَفْعَلُونَ
Whoever brings a good deed (i.e. Belief in the Oneness of Allah along with every deed of righteousness), will have better than its worth; and they will be safe from the terror on that Day.
Wer mit einer guten Tat kommt, wird etwas Besseres als sie erhalten. Und sie sind vor (jedem) Schrecken an jenem Tag in Sicherheit'.
Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it; and they shall be secure from terror on the day.
مَن جَآءَ بِٱلْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُۥ خَيْرٌ مِّنْهَا وَهُم مِّن فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ ءَامِنُونَ
And whoever brings an evil deed (i.e. Shirk - polytheism, disbelief in the Oneness of Allah and every evil sinful deed), they will be cast down (prone) on their faces in the Fire. (And it will be said to them) "Are you being recompensed anything except what you used to do?"
Wer aber mit einer schlechten Tat kommt, - diese werden mit ihren Gesichtern (voran) ins (Höllen)feuer gestürzt: "Wird euch denn etwas anderes vergolten als das, was ihr zu tun pflegtet?"
And whoever brings evil, these shall be thrown down on their faces into the fire; shall you be rewarded (for) aught except what you did?
وَمَن جَآءَ بِٱلسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِى ٱلنَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا مَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
I (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) have been commanded only to worship the Lord of this city (Makkah), Who has sanctified it and to Whom belongs everything. And I am commanded to be from among the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam).
Mir ist nur befohlen worden, dem Herrn dieser Ortschaft zu dienen, Der sie geschützt hat und Dem alles gehört. Und mir ist befohlen worden, einer der (Ihm) Ergebenen zu sein
I am commanded only that I should serve the Lord of this city, Who has made it sacred, and His are all things; and I am commanded that I should be of these who submit;
إِنَّمَآ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ رَبَّ هَٰذِهِ ٱلْبَلْدَةِ ٱلَّذِى حَرَّمَهَا وَلَهُۥ كُلُّ شَىْءٍ وَأُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسْلِمِينَ
And that I should recite the Qur'an, then whosoever receives guidance, receives it for the good of his ownself; and whosoever goes astray, say (to him): "I am only one of the warners."
und den Qur'an zu verlesen. Wer sich nun rechtleiten läßt, der ist nur zu seinem eigenen Vorteil rechtgeleitet. Und wenn einer irregeht, dann sag: Ich gehöre ja nur zu den Überbringern von Warnungen.
And that I should recite the Quran. Therefore whoever goes aright, he goes aright for his own soul, and whoever goes ' astray, then say: I am only one of the warners.
وَأَنْ أَتْلُوَا۟ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ فَمَنِ ٱهْتَدَىٰ فَإِنَّمَا يَهْتَدِى لِنَفْسِهِۦ وَمَن ضَلَّ فَقُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ مِنَ ٱلْمُنذِرِينَ
And say [(O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to these polytheists and pagans.]: "All the praises and thanks be to Allah. He will show you His Ayat (signs, in yourselves, and in the universe or punishments), and you shall recognise them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."
Und sag: (Alles) Lob gehört Allah! Er wird euch Seine Zeichen zeigen, und dann werdet ihr sie erkennen. Allah ist nicht unachtsam dessen, was ihr tut.
And say: Praise be to Allah, He will show you His signs so that you shall recognize them; nor is your Lord heedless of what you do.
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦ فَتَعْرِفُونَهَا وَمَا رَبُّكَ بِغَٰفِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ
