Dies sind wahrlich die Worte eines edlen Gesandten,
Owner of power, (and high rank) with (Allah), the Lord of the Throne,
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
Besitzer von Kraft und beim Herrn des Thrones in Ansehen,

Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
dem man dort gehorcht und (der) vertrauenswürdig (ist).
And (O people) your companion (Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) is not a madman.

Verily, this (the Qur'an) is no less than a Reminder to (all) the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn)
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner,
To whomsoever among you who wills to walk straight.
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
für jemanden von euch, der sich recht verhalten will.
And you cannot will unless (it be) that Allah wills - the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
Und ihr könnt nicht wollen, außer daß Allah will, (Er), der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
