قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
They (people of the city) said: "Did we not forbid you from entertaining (or protecting) any of the 'Alamin (people, foreigners and strangers from us)?"
Sie sagten: "Haben wir dir nicht die Weltenbewohner verboten (als Gäste aufzunehmen)?4"
They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people?
قَالَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
[Lut (Lot)] said: "These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters (to marry lawfully), if you must act (so)."
Er sagte: "Hier sind meine Töchter, wenn ihr etwas tun wollt."
He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Verily, by your life (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.
Bei deinem Leben, sie irrten wahrlich in ihrer Trunkenheit umher.
By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them at the time of sunrise.
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Sonnenaufgang,
So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise;
فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay.
und Wir kehrten das Oberste von ihr zuunterst und ließen auf sie Steine aus gebranntem Lehm regnen.
Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Surely! In this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah).
Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für die Betrachtenden.
Surely in this are signs for those who examine.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ
And verily! They (the cities) were right on the highroad (from Makkah to Syria i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now) .
Und sie liegt fürwahr an einem noch bestehenden Weg.
And surely it is on a road that still abides.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Surely! Therein is indeed a sign for the believers.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für die Gläubigen.
Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ
And the Dwellers in the Wood [i.e. the people of Madyan (Midian) to whom Prophet Shu'aib (عليه السلام) was sent by Allah), were also Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers).
Und die Bewohner des Dickichts taten fürwahr Unrecht,
And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust.
فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
So, We took vengeance on them. They are both on an open highway, plain to see.
so übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. Beide liegen fürwahr an einem deutlichen Weg.
So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both, indeed, on an open road (still) pursued.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
And verily, the dwellers of Al-Hijr (the rocky tract) denied the Messengers.
Und die Bewohner von al-Higr bezichtigten die Gesandten der Lüge.
And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the apostles;
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
And We gave them Our Signs, but they were averse to them.
Wir ließen ihnen Unsere Zeichen zukommen, aber sie wandten sich von ihnen ab.
And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them;
وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ
And they used to hew out dwellings from the mountains (feeling themselves) secure.
Und sie hauten aus den Bergen Häuser aus, im Trachten nach Sicherheit.
And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
But As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in the early morning (of the fourth day of their promised punishment days).
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Tagesanbruch;
So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;
فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
And all that they used to earn availed them not.
so nützte ihnen nicht, was sie erworben hatten.
And what they earned did not avail them.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ
And We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them except with truth, and the Hour is surely coming, so overlook (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) their faults with gracious forgiveness. [This was before the ordainment of Jihad - holy fighting in Allah's cause].
Wir haben die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist nur in Wahrheit erschaffen. Gewiß, die Stunde wird sicher eintreffen. So übe schöne Nachsicht.
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two but in truth; and the hour is most surely coming, so turn away with kindly forgiveness.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ
Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.
Dein Herr ist der Allerschaffer und der Allwissende.
Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
And indeed, We have bestowed upon you seven of Al-Mathani (seven repeatedly recited Verses), (i.e. Surat Al-Fatihah) and the Grand Qur'an.
Und Wir haben dir doch sieben von den sich wiederholenden Versen gegeben, und (auch) den großartigen Qur'an.
And certainly We have given you seven of the oft - repeated (verses) and the grand Quran.
لَا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَىٰ مَا مَتَّعْنَا بِهِ أَزْوَاجًا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاخْفِضْ جَنَاحَكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Look not with your eyes ambitiously at what We have bestowed on certain classes of them (the disbelievers), nor grieve over them. And lower your wings for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers).
Richte ja nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren. Und sei nicht traurig über sie. Und senke deinen Flügel für die Gläubigen,
Do not strain your eyes after what We have given certain classes of them to enjoy, and do not grieve for them, and make yourself gentle to the believers.
وَقُلْ إِنِّي أَنَا النَّذِيرُ الْمُبِينُ
And say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "I am indeed a plain warner."
und sag: Ich bin ja der deutliche Warner.
And say: Surely I am the plain warner.
كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
As We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish pagans or Jews and Christians).
Wie Wir (die Strafe) auf diejenigen hinabgesandt haben, die aufteilten,
Like as We sent down on the dividers
الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ
Who have made the Qur'an into parts. (i.e. believed in one part and disbelieved in the other). [Tafsir At-Tabari]
die den Qur'an (in einzelne Teile) zergliedert haben.
Those who made the Quran into shreds.
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
So, by your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), We shall certainly call all of them to account.
Ja, bei deinem Herrn! Wir werden sie allesamt ganz gewiß befragen
So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all,
عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
For all that they used to do.
über das, was sie zu tun pflegten.
As to what they did.
فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
Therefore proclaim openly (Allah's Message - Islamic Monotheism) that which you are commanded, and turn away from Al-Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, and disbelievers - See V.2:105).
So verkünde denn laut, was dir befohlen wird, und wende dich von den Götzendienern ab.
Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turn aside from the polytheists.
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ
Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers,
Wir genügen dir (als Schutz) vor den Spöttern,
Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers
الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Who set up along with Allah another ilah (god); but they will come to know.
die neben Allah einen anderen Gott setzen. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.
Wir wissen ja, daß deine Brust beklommen ist wegen dessen, was sie sagen.
And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).
Aber lobpreise deinen Herrn und gehöre zu denen, die sich niederwerfen,
Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ
And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).
und diene deinem Herrn, bis die Gewißheit zu dir kommt.
And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.
