بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الر ۚ تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ وَقُرْآنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Alif-Lam-Ra. Dies sind die Zeichen des Buches und eines deutlichen Qur'ans.
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. These are the verses of the Book and (of) a Quran that makes (things) clear.
رُّبَمَا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْ كَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ
Vielleicht werden diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, wünschen, Muslime gewesen zu sein.
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].
Often will those who disbelieve wish that they had been Muslims.
ذَرْهُمْ يَأْكُلُوا وَيَتَمَتَّعُوا وَيُلْهِهِمُ الْأَمَلُ ۖ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Lasse sie nur essen und genießen und sich durch (falsche) Hoffnung ablenken lassen. Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Leave them to eat and enjoy, and let them be preoccupied with (false) hope. They will come to know!
Leave them that they may eat and enjoy themselves and (that) hope may beguile them, for they will soon know.
وَمَا أَهْلَكْنَا مِن قَرْيَةٍ إِلَّا وَلَهَا كِتَابٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Und wir haben keine Stadt vernichtet, ohne daß sie eine festgelegte Frist gehabt hätte.
And never did We destroy a township but there was a known decree for it.
And never did We destroy a town but it had a term made known.
مَّا تَسْبِقُ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ أَجَلَهَا وَمَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ
Keine Gemeinschaft kann ihrer Frist vorausgehen, noch sie hinausschieben.
No nation can advance its term, nor delay it.
No people can hasten on their doom nor can they postpone (it).
وَقَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الذِّكْرُ إِنَّكَ لَمَجْنُونٌ
Und sie sagen: "O du, dem (angeblich) die Ermahnung offenbart worden ist, du bist ja fürwahr besessen.
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!
And they say: O you to whom the Reminder has been revealed! you are most surely insane:
لَّوْ مَا تَأْتِينَا بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
Warum bringst du uns nicht die Engel, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst?"
"Why do you not bring angels to us if you are of the truthful?"
Why do you not bring to us the angels if you are of the truthful ones?
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَمَا كَانُوا إِذًا مُّنظَرِينَ
Wir senden die Engel nur mit der Wahrheit hinab. Dann wird ihnen kein Aufschub gewährt.
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!
We do not send the angels but with truth, and then they would not be respited.
إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
Gewiß, Wir sind es, die Wir die Ermahnung offenbart haben, und Wir werden wahrlich ihr Hüter sein.
Verily, We, it is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) .
Surely We have revealed the Reminder and We will most surely be its guardian.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِي شِيَعِ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Wir haben ja bereits vor dir unter den Lagern der Früheren entsandt.
Indeed, We sent (Messengers) before you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) amongst the sects (communities) of old.
And certainly We sent (apostles) before you among the nations of yore.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا كَانُوا بِهِ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ
Und kein Gesandter kam zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hätten.
And never came a Messenger to them but they did mock at him.
And there never came an apostle to them but they mocked him.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَسْلُكُهُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
So lassen Wir ihn in die Herzen der Übeltäter einziehen.
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)].
Thus do We make it to enter into the hearts of the guilty;
لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ ۖ وَقَدْ خَلَتْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ
Sie glauben nicht daran, obwohl bereits die Gesetzmäßigkeit an den Früheren ergangen ist.
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.
They do not believe in it, and indeed the example of the former people has already passed.
وَلَوْ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَابًا مِّنَ السَّمَاءِ فَظَلُّوا فِيهِ يَعْرُجُونَ
Selbst wenn Wir ihnen ein Tor vom Himmel öffneten und sie dauernd dadurch hinaufstiegen,
And even if We opened to them a gate from the heaven and they were to keep on ascending thereto (all the day long)
And even if We open to them a gateway of heaven, so that they ascend into it all the while,
لَقَالُوا إِنَّمَا سُكِّرَتْ أَبْصَارُنَا بَلْ نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ مَّسْحُورُونَ
würden sie dennoch sagen: "Unsere Blicke sind verschlossen. Nein! Vielmehr sind wir Leute, die einem Zauber verfallen sind."
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."
They would certainly say: Only our eyes have been covered over, rather we are an enchanted people.
وَلَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا فِي السَّمَاءِ بُرُوجًا وَزَيَّنَّاهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ
Und Wir haben ja im Himmel Türme gesetzt und ihn für die Betrachter ausgeschmückt,
And indeed, We have put the big stars in the heaven and We beautified it for the beholders.
And certainly We have made strongholds in the heaven and We have made it fair seeming to the beholders.
وَحَفِظْنَاهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ
und Wir haben ihn vor jedem gesteinigten Satan behütet,
And We have guarded it (near heaven) from every outcast Shaitan (devil).
And We guard it against every accursed Shaitan,
إِلَّا مَنِ اسْتَرَقَ السَّمْعَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهَابٌ مُّبِينٌ
außer demjenigen, der verstohlen zuhört, worauf ihn ein deutlich erkennbarer Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
Except him (devil) who steals the hearing then he is pursued by a clear flaming fire.
But he who steals a hearing, so there follows him a visible flame.
وَالْأَرْضَ مَدَدْنَاهَا وَأَلْقَيْنَا فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَأَنبَتْنَا فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مَّوْزُونٍ
Und die Erde haben Wir gedehnt und darauf festgegründete Berge gesetzt und auf ihr von allen zu wiegenden Dingen wachsen lassen.
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.
And the earth - - We have spread it forth and made in it firm mountains and caused to grow in it of every suitable thing.
وَجَعَلْنَا لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَعَايِشَ وَمَن لَّسْتُمْ لَهُ بِرَازِقِينَ
Und Wir haben auf ihr für euch (Möglichkeiten für den) Lebensunterhalt geschaffen und (auch) für diejenigen, die ihr nicht versorgt.
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].
And We have made in it means of subsistence for you and for him for whom you are not the suppliers.
وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا عِندَنَا خَزَائِنُهُ وَمَا نُنَزِّلُهُ إِلَّا بِقَدَرٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Und es gibt nichts, dessen Schatzkammern nicht bei Uns wären. Und Wir senden es nur in bestimmtem Maß hinab.
And there is not a thing, but with Us are the stores thereof. And We send it not down except in a known measure.
And there is not a thing but with Us are the treasures of it, and We do not send it down but in a known measure.
وَأَرْسَلْنَا الرِّيَاحَ لَوَاقِحَ فَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاءً فَأَسْقَيْنَاكُمُوهُ وَمَا أَنتُمْ لَهُ بِخَازِنِينَ
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.
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].
And We send the winds fertilizing, then send down water from the cloud so We give it to you to drink of, nor is it you who store it up.
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَنُمِيتُ وَنَحْنُ الْوَارِثُونَ
Und fürwahr, Wir sind es, die lebendig machen und sterben lassen, und Wir sind die (alles) Erbenden.

And most surely We bring to life and cause to die and We are the heirs.
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ
Und Wir kennen ja diejenigen unter euch, die vorausgehen, und Wir kennen ja (auch) diejenigen, die zurückbleiben.
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.
And certainly We know those of you who have gone before and We certainly know those who shall come later.
وَإِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
Und gewiß, dein Herr wird sie versammeln. Er ist Allweise und Allwissend.
And verily, your Lord will gather them together. Truly, He is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
And surely your Lord will gather them together; surely He is Wise, Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنسَانَ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Und Wir haben ja den Menschen aus trockenem Ton, aus fauligem schwarzen Schlamm erschaffen.
And indeed, We created man from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.
And certainly We created man of clay that gives forth sound, of black mud fashioned in shape.
وَالْجَانَّ خَلَقْنَاهُ مِن قَبْلُ مِن نَّارِ السَّمُومِ
Und die Ginn haben Wir zuvor aus dem Feuer des Glutwindes erschaffen.
And the jinn, We created aforetime from the smokeless flame of fire.
And the jinn We created before, of intensely hot fire.
وَإِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Und als dein Herr zu den Engeln sagte: "Ich bin dabei, ein menschliches Wesen aus trockenem Ton, aus fauligem schwarzen Schlamm zu erschaffen.
And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "I am going to create a man (Adam) from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud.
And when your Lord said to the angels: Surely I am going to create a mortal of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
Wenn Ich es zurechtgeformt und ihm von Meinem Geist eingehaucht habe, dann fallt und werft euch vor ihm nieder."
"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."
So when I have made him complete and breathed into him of My spirit, fall down making obeisance to him.
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ
Da warfen sich die Engel alle zusammen nieder,
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them together.
So the angels made obeisance, all of them together,
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ أَبَىٰ أَن يَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
außer Iblis; er weigerte sich, mit denen zu sein, die sich niederwerfen.
Except Iblis (Satan) - he refused to be among the prostrators.
But Iblis (did it not); he refused to be with those who made obeisance.
قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا لَكَ أَلَّا تَكُونَ مَعَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Er sagte: "O lblis, was ist mit dir, daß du nicht mit denen bist, die sich niederwerfen?"
(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What is your reason for not being among the prostrators?"
He said: O Iblis! what excuse have you that you are not with those who make obeisance?
قَالَ لَمْ أَكُن لِّأَسْجُدَ لِبَشَرٍ خَلَقْتَهُ مِن صَلْصَالٍ مِّنْ حَمَإٍ مَّسْنُونٍ
Er sagte: "Ich kann mich unmöglich vor einem menschlichen Wesen niederwerfen, das Du aus trockenem Ton, aus fauligem schwarzen Schlamm erschaffen hast."
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "I am not the one to prostrate myself to a human being, whom You created from dried (sounding) clay of altered mud."
He said: I am not such that I should make obeisance to a mortal whom Thou hast created of the essence of black mud fashioned in shape.

(Allah) said: "Then, get out from here, for verily, you are Rajim (an outcast or a cursed one)." [Tafsir At-Tabari]
He said: Then get out of it, for surely you are driven away:
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ اللَّعْنَةَ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Und auf dir liegt der Fluch bis zum Tag des Gerichts."
"And verily, the curse shall be upon you till the Day of Recompense (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)."
And surely on you is curse until the day of judgment.
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ

bis zum Tag der (wohl)bekannten Zeit."
"Till the Day of the time appointed."

قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, darum, daß Du mich in Verirrung hast fallen lassen, werde ich ihnen ganz gewiß auf der Erde (das Böse) ausschmücken und sie ganz gewiß allesamt in Verirrung fallen lassen,
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Because you misled me, I shall indeed adorn the path of error for them (mankind) on the earth, and I shall mislead them all.
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast made life evil to me, I will certainly make (evil) fair - seeming to them on earth, and I will certainly cause them all to deviate
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
außer Deinen Dienern, den auserlesenen unter ihnen."
"Except Your chosen, (guided) slaves among them."

قَالَ هَٰذَا صِرَاطٌ عَلَيَّ مُسْتَقِيمٌ
Er sagte: "Das ist ein gerader Weg, der (einzuhalten) Mir obliegt.
(Allah) said: "This is the Way which will lead straight to Me."
He said: This is a right way with Me:
إِنَّ عِبَادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَانٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ
Gewiß, über Meine Diener hast du keine Macht, außer wer dir von den Verirrten folgt."
"Certainly, you shall have no authority over My slaves, except those who follow you of the Ghawun (Mushrikun and those who go astray, criminals, polytheists, and evil-doers).
Surely. as regards My servants, you have no authority, over them except those who follow you of the deviators.
وَإِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَمَوْعِدُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

إِنَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
Die Gottesfürchtigen aber werden in Gärten und an Quellen sein:
"Truly! The Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be amidst Gardens and water-springs (Paradise).
Surely those who guard (against evil) shall be in the midst of gardens and fountains:
ادْخُلُوهَا بِسَلَامٍ آمِنِينَ
Betretet sie in Frieden und in Sicherheit.
"(It will be said to them): 'Enter therein (Paradise), in peace and security.'
Enter them in peace, secure.
وَنَزَعْنَا مَا فِي صُدُورِهِم مِّنْ غِلٍّ إِخْوَانًا عَلَىٰ سُرُرٍ مُّتَقَابِلِينَ
Und Wir nehmen weg, was in ihren Brüsten an Groll ist, als Brüder auf Liegen (ruhend), einander gegenüber.
"And We shall remove from their breasts any deep feeling of bitterness (that they may have). (So they will be like) brothers facing each other on thrones.
And We will root out whatever of rancor is in their breasts - - (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face.
لَا يَمَسُّهُمْ فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَمَا هُم مِّنْهَا بِمُخْرَجِينَ
Darin widerfährt ihnen weder Mühsal, noch werden sie daraus vertrieben.

[Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Do you give me glad tidings (of a son) when old age has overtaken me? Of what then is your news?"
He said: Do you give me good news (of a son) when old age has come upon me? - - Of what then do you give me good news!
قَالُوا بَشَّرْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَلَا تَكُن مِّنَ الْقَانِطِينَ

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ
Er sagte: "Was ist nun euer Auftrag, ihr Boten?"
[Ibrahim (Abraham) again] said: "What then is the business on which you have come, O Messengers?"
He said: What is your business then, O apostles?
قَالُوا إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
Sie sagten: "Wir sind zu einem Volk von Übeltätern gesandt,
They (the angels) said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimun (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners).

ausgenommen die Sippe Luts. Diese werden Wir wahrlich allesamt erretten,
"(All) except the family of Lut (Lot). Them all we are surely going to save (from destruction).
Except Lut's followers: We will most surely deliver them all,
إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
außer seiner Frau." Wir haben (es so) bestimmt, sie gehörte fürwahr zu denen, die zurückbleiben.
"Except his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind (i.e. she will be destroyed)."
Except his wife; We ordained that she shall surely be of those who remain behind.
فَلَمَّا جَاءَ آلَ لُوطٍ الْمُرْسَلُونَ
Als nun die Gesandten zu der Sippe Luts kamen,
Then, when the Messengers (the angels) came unto the family of Lut (Lot).
So when the apostles came to Lut's followers,
قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ
sagte er: "Ihr seid ja fremde Leute."
He said: "Verily! You are people unknown to me."
He said: Surely you are an unknown people.
قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
Sie sagten: "Nein! Vielmehr kommen wir zu dir mit dem, woran sie zu zweifeln pflegten.
They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting.

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ اللَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ أَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَامْضُوا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
So zieh mit deinen Angehörigen in einem Teil der Nacht fort, und folge du hinterdrein. Und niemand von euch soll sich umwenden, geht weiter, wohin euch befohlen wird."
"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."
Therefore go forth with your followers in a part of the night and yourself follow their rear, and let not any one of you turn round, and go forth whither you are commanded.
وَقَضَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ ذَٰلِكَ الْأَمْرَ أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ
Und Wir haben ihm diese Angelegenheit mitgeteilt, daß der letzte Rest dieser Leute bei Tagesanbruch ausgetilgt werde.
And We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was to be cut off in the early morning.
And We revealed to him this decree, that the roots of these shall be cut off in the morning.

And the people of the town came rejoicing.
قَالَ إِنَّ هَٰؤُلَاءِ ضَيْفِي فَلَا تَفْضَحُونِ
Er sagte: "Das sind meine Gäste, so stellt mich nicht bloß.
[Lut (Lot)] said: "Verily! these are my guests, so shame me not.
He said: Surely these are my guests, therefore do not disgrace me,
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ
Und fürchtet Allah und stürzt mich nicht in Schande."
"And fear Allah and disgrace me not."
And guard against (the punishment of) Allah and do not put me to shame.
قَالُوا أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعَالَمِينَ
Sie sagten: "Haben wir dir nicht die Weltenbewohner verboten (als Gäste aufzunehmen)?4"
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)?"
They said: Have we not forbidden you from (other) people?
قَالَ هَٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي إِن كُنتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ
Er sagte: "Hier sind meine Töchter, wenn ihr etwas tun wollt."
[Lut (Lot)] said: "These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters (to marry lawfully), if you must act (so)."
He said: These are my daughters, if you will do (aught).
لَعَمْرُكَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي سَكْرَتِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ
Bei deinem Leben, sie irrten wahrlich in ihrer Trunkenheit umher.
Verily, by your life (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.
By your life! they were blindly wandering on in their intoxication.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُشْرِقِينَ
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Sonnenaufgang,
So As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them at the time of sunrise.
So the rumbling overtook them (while) entering upon the time of sunrise;
فَجَعَلْنَا عَالِيَهَا سَافِلَهَا وَأَمْطَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن سِجِّيلٍ
und Wir kehrten das Oberste von ihr zuunterst und ließen auf sie Steine aus gebranntem Lehm regnen.
And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay.
Thus did We turn it upside down, and rained down upon them stones of what had been decreed.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّلْمُتَوَسِّمِينَ
Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für die Betrachtenden.
Surely! In this are signs for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah).
Surely in this are signs for those who examine.
وَإِنَّهَا لَبِسَبِيلٍ مُّقِيمٍ
Und sie liegt fürwahr an einem noch bestehenden Weg.
And verily! They (the cities) were right on the highroad (from Makkah to Syria i.e. the place where the Dead Sea is now) .
And surely it is on a road that still abides.
إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَةً لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für die Gläubigen.
Surely! Therein is indeed a sign for the believers.
Most surely there is a sign in this for the believers.
وَإِن كَانَ أَصْحَابُ الْأَيْكَةِ لَظَالِمِينَ
Und die Bewohner des Dickichts taten fürwahr Unrecht,
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).
And the dwellers of the thicket also were most surely unjust.
فَانتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٍ مُّبِينٍ
so übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. Beide liegen fürwahr an einem deutlichen Weg.
So, We took vengeance on them. They are both on an open highway, plain to see.
So We inflicted retribution on them, and they are both, indeed, on an open road (still) pursued.
وَلَقَدْ كَذَّبَ أَصْحَابُ الْحِجْرِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
Und die Bewohner von al-Higr bezichtigten die Gesandten der Lüge.
And verily, the dwellers of Al-Hijr (the rocky tract) denied the Messengers.
And the dwellers of the Rock certainly rejected the apostles;
وَآتَيْنَاهُمْ آيَاتِنَا فَكَانُوا عَنْهَا مُعْرِضِينَ
Wir ließen ihnen Unsere Zeichen zukommen, aber sie wandten sich von ihnen ab.
And We gave them Our Signs, but they were averse to them.
And We gave them Our communications, but they turned aside from them;
وَكَانُوا يَنْحِتُونَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ بُيُوتًا آمِنِينَ
Und sie hauten aus den Bergen Häuser aus, im Trachten nach Sicherheit.
And they used to hew out dwellings from the mountains (feeling themselves) secure.
And they hewed houses in the mountains in security.
فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّيْحَةُ مُصْبِحِينَ
Da ergriff sie der Schrei bei Tagesanbruch;
But As-Saihah (torment - awful cry) overtook them in the early morning (of the fourth day of their promised punishment days).
So the rumbling overtook them in the morning;
فَمَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ
so nützte ihnen nicht, was sie erworben hatten.
And all that they used to earn availed them not.
And what they earned did not avail them.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ السَّاعَةَ لَآتِيَةٌ ۖ فَاصْفَحِ الصَّفْحَ الْجَمِيلَ
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 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].
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
Dein Herr ist der Allerschaffer und der Allwissende.
Verily, your Lord is the All-Knowing Creator.
Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَاكَ سَبْعًا مِّنَ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
Und Wir haben dir doch sieben von den sich wiederholenden Versen gegeben, und (auch) den großartigen Qur'an.
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.
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
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,
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).
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
und sag: Ich bin ja der deutliche Warner.
And say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم): "I am indeed a plain warner."
And say: Surely I am the plain warner.
كَمَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَى الْمُقْتَسِمِينَ
Wie Wir (die Strafe) auf diejenigen hinabgesandt haben, die aufteilten,
As We have sent down on the dividers, (Quraish pagans or Jews and Christians).
Like as We sent down on the dividers
الَّذِينَ جَعَلُوا الْقُرْآنَ عِضِينَ
die den Qur'an (in einzelne Teile) zergliedert haben.
Who have made the Qur'an into parts. (i.e. believed in one part and disbelieved in the other). [Tafsir At-Tabari]
Those who made the Quran into shreds.
فَوَرَبِّكَ لَنَسْأَلَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Ja, bei deinem Herrn! Wir werden sie allesamt ganz gewiß befragen
So, by your Lord (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم), We shall certainly call all of them to account.
So, by your Lord, We would most certainly question them all,
عَمَّا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
über das, was sie zu tun pflegten.
For all that they used to do.
As to what they did.
فَاصْدَعْ بِمَا تُؤْمَرُ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
So verkünde denn laut, was dir befohlen wird, und wende dich von den Götzendienern ab.
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).
Therefore declare openly what you are bidden and turn aside from the polytheists.
إِنَّا كَفَيْنَاكَ الْمُسْتَهْزِئِينَ
Wir genügen dir (als Schutz) vor den Spöttern,
Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers,
Surely We will suffice you against the scoffers
الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا آخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
die neben Allah einen anderen Gott setzen. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Who set up along with Allah another ilah (god); but they will come to know.
Those who set up another god with Allah; so they shall soon know.
وَلَقَدْ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ يَضِيقُ صَدْرُكَ بِمَا يَقُولُونَ
Wir wissen ja, daß deine Brust beklommen ist wegen dessen, was sie sagen.
Indeed, We know that your breast is straitened at what they say.
And surely We know that your breast straitens at what they say;
فَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ وَكُن مِّنَ السَّاجِدِينَ
Aber lobpreise deinen Herrn und gehöre zu denen, die sich niederwerfen,
So glorify the praises of your Lord and be of those who prostrate themselves (to Him).
Therefore celebrate the praise of your Lord, and be of those who make obeisance.
وَاعْبُدْ رَبَّكَ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَكَ الْيَقِينُ
und diene deinem Herrn, bis die Gewißheit zu dir kommt.
And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty (i.e. death).
And serve your Lord until there comes to you that which is certain.
