Then ask them (i.e. these polytheists, O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "Are they stronger as creation, or those (others like the heavens and the earth and the mountains) whom We have created?" Verily, We created them of a sticky clay.

Werden wir tatsächlich nicht mehr sterben,
Except our first death, and we shall not be punished? (after we have entered Paradise)."
"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"

Das ist doch wahrlich der großartige Erfolg!
For the like of this let the workers work.
For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.
Für ein Solches sollen diejenigen, die handeln, (ihre Werke) tun.
Is that (Paradise) better entertainment or the tree of Zaqqum (a horrible tree in Hell)?

And indeed most of the men of old went astray before them;
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray; -
Vor ihnen sind bereits die meisten der Früheren abgeirrt,
And indeed We sent among them warners (Messengers);
But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them; -
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
Then see what was the end of those who were warned (but heeded not).

And, his progeny, them We made the survivors (i.e. Shem, Ham and Japheth).
And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);
und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
And left for him (a goodly remembrance) among the later generations:
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Salam (peace) be upon Nuh (Noah) (from Us) among the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!"
"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!

Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Verily, he [Nuh (Noah)] was one of Our believing slaves.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Then We drowned the others (disbelievers and polytheists).
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.
Hierauf ließen Wir die anderen ertrinken.
And, verily, among those who followed his [Nuh's (Noah)] way (Islamic Monotheism) was Ibrahim (Abraham).

And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
So they turned away from him, and departed (for fear of the disease).
So they turned away from him, and departed.

Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht redet?"
Then he turned upon them, striking (them) with (his) right hand.
Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
Und er wandte sich gegen sie und schlug auf sie mit der Rechten ein.
Then they (the worshippers of idols) came, towards him, hastening.
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
He said: "Worship you that which you (yourselves) carve?

Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
"While Allah has created you and what you make!"
"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"
wo doch Allah euch und das, was ihr tut, erschaffen hat?"
They said: "Build for him a building (it is said that the building was like a furnace) and throw him into the blazing fire!"
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."

(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
And he said (after his rescue from the fire): "Verily, I am going to my Lord. He will guide me!"
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.

He said: "O my father! Do that which you are commanded, Insha' Allah (if Allah wills), you shall find me of As-Sabirun (the patient)."
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."

So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),

For this was obviously a trial -
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
And We ransomed him with a great sacrifice (i.e. كبش - a ram);

We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.

"Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers?"
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
But they denied him [Iliyas (Elias)], so they will certainly be brought forth (to the punishment),
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Except the chosen slaves of Allah.
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).

Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.

So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -

And there were those who said,
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:

"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"

Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!

So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch and they shall see (the torment)!
