Chapter 15, 99 verses
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].These are Verses of the Book and a plain Qur'an.
Alif-Lam-Ra. Dies sind die Zeichen des Buches und eines deutlichen Qur'ans.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُّبِينٍ
A. L. R. These are the Ayats of Revelation, - of a Qur'an that makes things clear.
How much would those who disbelieved wish that they had been Muslims [those who have submitted themselves to Allah's Will in Islam i.e. Islamic Monotheism - this will be on the Day of Resurrection when they will see the disbelievers going to Hell and the Muslims going to Paradise].
Vielleicht werden diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, wünschen, Muslime gewesen zu sein.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ
Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to Allah's will) in Islam.
Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with (false) hope. They will come to know!
Lasse sie nur essen und genießen und sich durch (falsche) Hoffnung ablenken lassen. Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).
And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.
Und wir haben keine Stadt vernichtet, ohne daß sie eine festgelegte Frist gehabt hätte.
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Never did We destroy a population that had not a term decreed and assigned beforehand.
No nation can advance its term, nor delay it.
Keine Gemeinschaft kann ihrer Frist vorausgehen, noch sie hinausschieben.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
Neither can a people anticipate its term, nor delay it.
And they say: "O you (Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) to whom the Dhikr (the Qur'an) has been sent down! Verily, you are a mad man!
Und sie sagen: "O du, dem (angeblich) die Ermahnung offenbart worden ist, du bist ja fürwahr besessen.
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ
They say: "O thou to whom the Message is being revealed! truly thou art mad (or possessed)!
"Why do you not bring angels to us if you are of the truthful?"
Warum bringst du uns nicht die Engel, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst?"
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
"Why bringest thou not angels to us if it be that thou hast the Truth?"
We send not the angels down except with the truth (i.e. for torment), and in that case, they (the disbelievers) would have no respite!
Wir senden die Engel nur mit der Wahrheit hinab. Dann wird ihnen kein Aufschub gewährt.
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ
We send not the angels down except for just cause: if they came (to the ungodly), behold! no respite would they have!
Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) .
Gewiß, Wir sind es, die Wir die Ermahnung offenbart haben, und Wir werden wahrlich ihr Hüter sein.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
We have, without doubt, sent down the Message; and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption).
Indeed, We sent (Messengers) before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) amongst the sects (communities) of old.
Wir haben ja bereits vor dir unter den Lagern der Früheren entsandt.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
We did send messengers before thee amongst the religious sects of old:
And never came a Messenger to them but they did mock at him.
Und kein Gesandter kam zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hätten.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
But never came a messenger to them but they mocked him.
Thus do We let it (polytheism and disbelief) enter the hearts of the Mujrimun [criminals, polytheists and pagans (because of their mocking at the Messengers)].
So lassen Wir ihn in die Herzen der Übeltäter einziehen.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
Even so do we let it creep into the hearts of the sinners -
They would not believe in it (the Qur'an); and already the example of (Allah's punishment of) the ancients (who disbelieved) has gone forth.
Sie glauben nicht daran, obwohl bereits die Gesetzmäßigkeit an den Früheren ergangen ist.
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
That they should not believe in the (Message); but the ways of the ancients have passed away.
And even if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they were to keep on ascending thereto (all the day long)
Selbst wenn Wir ihnen ein Tor vom Himmel öffneten und sie dauernd dadurch hinaufstiegen,
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ
Even if We opened out to them a gate from heaven, and they were to continue (all day) ascending therein,
They would surely say (in the evening): "Our eyes have been (as if) dazzled (we have not seen any angel or heaven). Nay, we are a people bewitched."
würden sie dennoch sagen: "Unsere Blicke sind verschlossen. Nein! Vielmehr sind wir Leute, die einem Zauber verfallen sind."
لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ
They would only say: "Our eyes have been intoxicated: Nay, we have been bewitched by sorcery."
And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders.
Und Wir haben ja im Himmel Türme gesetzt und ihn für die Betrachter ausgeschmückt,
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
It is We Who have set out the zodiacal signs in the heavens, and made them fair - seeming to (all) beholders;
And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil).
und Wir haben ihn vor jedem gesteinigten Satan behütet,
وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ
And (moreover) We have guarded them from every cursed devil:
Except him (devil) who steals the hearing then he is pursued by a clear flaming fire.
außer demjenigen, der verstohlen zuhört, worauf ihn ein deutlich erkennbarer Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ
But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see).
And the earth We have spread out, and have placed therein firm mountains, and caused to grow therein all kinds of things in due proportion.
Und die Erde haben Wir gedehnt und darauf festgegründete Berge gesetzt und auf ihr von allen zu wiegenden Dingen wachsen lassen.
وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ
And the earth We have spread out (like a carpet); set thereon mountains firm and immovable; and produced therein all kinds of things in due balance.
And We have provided therein means of living, for you and for those whom you provide not [moving (living) creatures, cattle, beasts, and other animals].
Und Wir haben auf ihr für euch (Möglichkeiten für den) Lebensunterhalt geschaffen und (auch) für diejenigen, die ihr nicht versorgt.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ
And We have provided therein means of subsistence, - for you and for those for whose sustenance ye are not responsible.
And there is not a thing, but with Us are the stores thereof. And We send it not down except in a known measure.
Und es gibt nichts, dessen Schatzkammern nicht bei Uns wären. Und Wir senden es nur in bestimmtem Maß hinab.
وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
And there is not a thing but its (sources and) treasures (inexhaustible) are with Us; but We only send down thereof in due and ascertainable measures.
And We send the winds fertilizing (to fill heavily the clouds with water), then cause the water (rain) to descend from the sky, and We give it to you to drink, and it is not you who are the owners of its stores [i.e. to give water to whom you like or to withhold it from whom you like].
Und Wir senden die Winde zur Befruchtung. Und Wir lassen dann vom Himmel Wasser hinabkommen und geben es euch zu trinken, doch ihr könnt es nicht (alles davon) als Vorrat lagern.
وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ
And We send the fecundating winds, then cause the rain to descend from the sky, therewith providing you with water (in abundance), though ye are not the guardians of its stores.
And certainly We! We it is Who give life, and cause death, and We are the Inheritors.
Und fürwahr, Wir sind es, die lebendig machen und sterben lassen, und Wir sind die (alles) Erbenden.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ
And verily, it is We Who give life, and Who give death: it is We Who remain inheritors (after all else passes away).
And indeed, We know the first generations of you who had passed away, and indeed, We know the present generations of you (mankind), and also those who will come afterwards.
Und Wir kennen ja diejenigen unter euch, die vorausgehen, und Wir kennen ja (auch) diejenigen, die zurückbleiben.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ
To Us are known those of you who hasten forward, and those who lag behind.
And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
Und gewiß, dein Herr wird sie versammeln. Er ist Allweise und Allwissend.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
Assuredly it is thy Lord Who will gather them together: for He is perfect in Wisdom and Knowledge.
And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.
Und Wir haben ja den Menschen aus trockenem Ton, aus fauligem schwarzen Schlamm erschaffen.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
We created man from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape;
And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.
Und die Ginn haben Wir zuvor aus dem Feuer des Glutwindes erschaffen.
وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ
And the Jinn race, We had created before, from the fire of a scorching wind.
And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.
Und als dein Herr zu den Engeln sagte: "Ich bin dabei, ein menschliches Wesen aus trockenem Ton, aus fauligem schwarzen Schlamm zu erschaffen.
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Behold! thy Lord said to the angels: "I am about to create man, from sounding clay from mud moulded into shape;
"So, when I have fashioned him completely and breathed into him (Adam) the soul which I created for him, then fall (you) down prostrating yourselves unto him."
Wenn Ich es zurechtgeformt und ihm von Meinem Geist eingehaucht habe, dann fallt und werft euch vor ihm nieder."
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him."
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together.
Da warfen sich die Engel alle zusammen nieder,
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together:
Except Iblis (Satan) - he refused to be among the prostrators.
außer Iblis; er weigerte sich, mit denen zu sein, die sich niederwerfen.
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Not so Iblis: he refused to be among those who prostrated themselves.
(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?"

(Iblis) said: "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom Thou didst create from sounding clay, from mud moulded into shape."

When they entered unto him, and said: Salam (peace)! [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Indeed! We are afraid of you."

He said: "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, but such as go astray?"
[Ibrahim (Abraham) again] said: "What then is the business on which you have come, O Messengers?"
Er sagte: "Was ist nun euer Auftrag, ihr Boten?"
قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
Abraham said: "What then is the business on which ye (have come), O ye messengers (of Allah)?"

إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
"Except his wife, who, We have ascertained, will be among those who will lag behind."
Then, when the Messengers (the angels) came unto the family of Lut (Lot).
Als nun die Gesandten zu der Sippe Luts kamen,
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
At length when the messengers arrived among the adherents of Lut,
He said: "Verily! You are people unknown to me."
sagte er: "Ihr seid ja fremde Leute."
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
He said: "Ye appear to be uncommon folk."
They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting.
Sie sagten: "Nein! Vielmehr kommen wir zu dir mit dem, woran sie zu zweifeln pflegten.
قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
They said: "Yea, we have come to thee to accomplish that of which they doubt.
"And we have brought you the truth (the news of the destruction of your nation) and certainly, we tell the truth.

"We have brought to thee that which is inevitably due, and assuredly we tell the truth.
"Then travel in a part of the night with your family, and you go behind them in the rear, and let no one amongst you look back, but go on to where you are ordered."

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
"Then travel by night with thy household, when a portion of the night (yet remains), and do thou bring up the rear: let no one amongst you look back, but pass on whither ye are ordered."
And We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was to be cut off in the early morning.
Und Wir haben ihm diese Angelegenheit mitgeteilt, daß der letzte Rest dieser Leute bei Tagesanbruch ausgetilgt werde.
وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ الْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ

وَجَاءَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
The inhabitants of the city came in (mad) joy (at news of the young men).
