Wir verlesen dir von der Kunde über Musa und Fir'aun der Wahrheit entsprechend, für Leute, die glauben.
We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe.
We recite to you from the account of Musa and Firon with truth for people who believe.
Gewiß, Fir'aun zeigte sich überheblich im Land und machte seine Bewohner zu Lagern, von denen er einen Teil unterdrückte, indem er ihre Söhne abschlachtete und (nur) ihre Frauen am Leben ließ. Gewiß, er gehörte zu den Unheilstiftern.
Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.
Surely Firon exalted himself in the land and made its people into parties, weakening one party from among them; he slaughtered their sons and let their women live; surely he was one of the mischiefmakers.
Wir aber wollten denjenigen, die im Land unterdrückt wurden, eine Wohltat erweisen und sie zu Vorbildern machen und zu Erben machen,
And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors,
And We desired to bestow a favor upon those who were deemed weak in the land, and to make them the Imams, and to make them the heirs,
ihnen eine feste Stellung im Land verleihen und Fir'aun, Haman und deren Heerscharen durch sie das erfahren lassen, wovor sie sich immer vorzusehen suchten.
And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.
And to grant them power in the land, and to make Firon and Haman and their hosts see from them what they feared.
Und Wir gaben der Mutter Musas ein: "Stille ihn. Und wenn du um ihn fürchtest, dann setze ihn in das Wasser und fürchte dich nicht und sei nicht traurig. Wir werden ihn dir zurückbringen und ihn zu einem der Gesandten machen."
And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers.
And We revealed to Musa's mothers, saying: Give him suck, then when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear nor grieve; surely We will bring him back to you and make him one of the apostles.
Da lasen ihn die Angehörigen Fir'auns auf, damit er ihnen zum Feind und (Grund zum) Kummer werde. Gewiß, Fir'aun, Haman und deren Heerscharen pflegten verfehlt zu handeln.
And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning.
And Firon's family took him up that he might be an enemy and a grief for them; surely Firon and Haman and their hosts were wrongdoers.
Die Frau Fir'auns sagte: "(Er wird) für mich und dich ein Grund zur Freude sein. Tötet ihn nicht. Vielleicht nützt er uns oder wir nehmen ihn als Kind an." Dabei merkten sie nicht (, was sie taten).
And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not.
And Firon's wife said: A refreshment of the eye to me and to you; do not slay him; maybe he will be useful to us, or we may take him for a son; and they did not perceive.
Und das Herz der Mutter Musas wurde leer. Beinahe hätte sie ihn fürwahr offen bekanntgegeben, wenn Wir nicht ihr Herz gestärkt hätten, damit sie zu den Gläubigen gehöre.
And the heart of the mother of Moses became void, and she would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart, that she might be of the believers.
And the heart of Musa's mother was free (from anxiety) she would have almost disclosed it had We not strengthened her heart so that she might be of the believers.
Und sie sagte zu seiner Schwester: "Folge seiner Spur." Sie beobachtete ihn von fern, ohne daß sie merkten.
And she said unto his sister: Trace him. So she observed him from afar, and they perceived not.
And she said to his sister: Follow him up. So she watched him from a distance while they did not perceive,
Nun hatten Wir ihm zuvor die Ammenbrüste verwehrt. Da sagte sie: "Soll ich euch auf Hausleute hinweisen, die ihn für euch betreuen und ihm aufrichtig zugetan sein würden?"
And We had before forbidden foster - mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him ?
And We ordained that he refused to suck any foster mother before, so she said: Shall I point out to you the people of a house who will take care of him for you, and they will be benevolent to him?
So brachten Wir ihn zu seiner Mutter zurück, damit sie frohen Mutes und nicht mehr traurig sei und damit sie wissen sollte, daß Allahs Versprechen wahr ist. Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.
So We gave him back to his mother that her eye might be refreshed, and that she might no grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true, but most of them do not know.
Und als er seine Vollreife und sein Ebenmaß erlangt hatte, gaben Wir ihm Urteil(skraft) und Wissen. So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
And when he reached his full strength and was ripe, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the good.
And when he attained his maturity and became full grown, We granted him wisdom and knowledge; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others).
Und er betrat die Stadt zu einer Zeit, als ihre Bewohner unachtsam waren. Da fand er darin zwei Männer, die miteinander kämpften, der eine war von seinem (eigenen) Lager, der andere von seinen Feinden. Da rief ihn derjenige, der von seinem Lager war, zu Hilfe gegen denjenigen, der von den Feinden war. Dann schlug ihn Musa mit der Faust und brachte ihn so um. Er sagte: "Das gehört zum Werk des Satans. Gewiß, er ist ein deutlicher Feind, der in die Irre führt."
And he entered the city at a time of carelessness of its folk, and he found therein two men fighting, one of his own caste, and the other of his enemies; and he who was of his caste asked him for help against him who was of his enemies. So Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is of the devil's doing. Lo! he is an enemy, a mere misleader.
And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance on the part of its people, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his party and the other of his foes, and he who was of his party cried out to him for help against him who was of his enemies, so Musa struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is on account of the Shaitan's doing; surely he is an enemy, openly leading astray.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mir selbst Unrecht zugefügt; so vergib mir." Da vergab Er ihm, denn Er ist ja der Allvergebende und Barmherzige.
He said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged my soul, so forgive me. Then He forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
He said: My Lord! surely I have done harm to myself, so do Thou protect me. So He protected him; surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, darum, daß Du mir Gunst erwiesen hast, werde ich den Übeltätern nicht mehr Beistand leisten."
He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me, I will nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.
He said: My Lord! because Thou hast bestowed a favor on me, I shall never be a backer of the guilty.
Am Morgen war er in der Stadt furchtsam und hielt (immer wieder) Ausschau. Auf einmal schrie derjenige, der ihn am Tag zuvor um Hilfe gebeten hatte, zu ihm um Beistand. Musa sagte zu ihm: "Du bist offenkundig einer, der wahrlich (zu Gewalttaten) verleitet."
And morning found him in the city, fearing, vigilant, when behold! he who had appealed to him the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said unto him: Lo! thou art indeed a mere hothead.
And he was in the city, fearing, awaiting, when lo! he who had asked his assistance the day before was crying out to him for aid. Musa said to him: You are most surely one erring manifestly.
Als er nun mit Gewalt denjenigen packen wollte, der ihrer beider Feind war, sagte dieser: "O Musa, willst du denn mich töten, wie du gestern eine (Menschen)seele getötet hast? Du willst ja nur ein Gewalttäter im Land sein, und du willst nicht zu den Heilstiftern gehören."
And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a person yesterday. Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land, thou wouldst not be of the reformers.
So when he desired to seize him who was an enemy to them both, he said: O Musa! do you intend to kill me as you killed a person yesterday? You desire nothing but that you should be a tyrant in the land, and you do not desire to be of those who act aright.
Und es kam ein Mann vom äußersten Ende der Stadt gelaufen. Er sagte: "O Musa, die führende Schar berät über dich, um dich zu töten. So geh fort, gewiß, ich gehöre zu denjenigen, die dir guten Rat geben."
And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee; therefor escape. Lo! I am of those who give thee good advice.
And a man came running from the remotest part of the city. He said: O Musa! surely the chiefs are consulting together to slay you, therefore depart (at once); surely I am of those who wish well to you.
So ging er furchtsam aus ihr fort und hielt (immer wieder) Ausschau. Er sagte: "Mein Herr, errette mich von dem ungerechten Volk."
So he escaped from thence, fearing, vigilant. He said: My Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing folk.
So he went forth therefrom, fearing, awaiting, (and) he said: My Lord! deliver me from the unjust people.
Und als er sich Madyan zuwandte, sagte er: "Vielleicht wird mein Herr mich den rechten Weg leiten."
And when he turned his face toward Midian, he said: Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.
And when he turned his face towards Madyan, he said: Maybe my Lord will guide me in the right path.
Als er nun zum Wasser von Madyan kam, fand er dort eine (ganze) Gemeinschaft von Menschen, die (ihr Vieh) tränkten. Und er fand außer ihnen zwei Frauen, die (ihre Tiere) fernhielten. Er sagte: "Was ist mit euch beiden?" Sie sagten: "Wir tränken (unsere Tiere) nicht, bis die Hirten (ihr Vieh) weggetrieben haben. Und unser Vater ist ein hochbetagter Greis."
And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you ? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man.
And when he came to the water of Madyan, he found on it a group of men watering, and he found besides them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What is the matter with you? They said: We cannot water until the shepherds take away (their sheep) from the water, and our father is a very old man.
Da tränkte er ihnen (ihre Tiere). Hierauf zog er sich zurück in den Schatten und sagte: "Mein Herr, ich bin dessen bedürftig, was Du auch immer an Gutem zu mir herabsendest."
So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me.
So he watered (their sheep) for them, then went back to the shade and said: My Lord! surely I stand in need of whatever good Thou mayest send down to me.
Da kam die eine von den beiden zu ihm, indem sie verschämt einherging. Sie sagte: "Mein Vater ruft dich, um dir den Lohn dafür zu entrichten, daß du uns (die Tiere) getränkt hast." Nachdem er zu ihm gekommen war und ihm die Geschichte berichtet hatte, sagte er: "Fürchte dich nicht; du bist dem ungerechten Volk entkommen."
Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said: Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk.
Then one of the two women came to him walking bashfully. She said: My father invites you that he may give you the reward of your having watered for us. So when he came to him and gave to him the account, he said: Fear not, you are secure from the unjust people.
Die eine von den beiden sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, nimm ihn in Dienst, denn der Beste, den du in Dienst nehmen kannst, ist der Starke und Vertrauenswürdige."
One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best (man) that thou canst hire in the strong, the trustworthy.
Said one of them: O my father! employ him, surely the best of those that you can employ is the strong man, the faithful one.
Er sagte: "Ich will dich mit einer dieser meiner beiden Töchter verheiraten unter der Bedingung, daß du acht Jahre in meinen Dienst trittst. Wenn du sie aber auf zehn vollmachst, so steht es bei dir. Ich will dir keine Härte auferlegen. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Rechtschaffenen finden."
He said: Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for (the term of) eight pilgrimages. Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own accord, for I would not make it hard for thee. Allah willing, thou wilt find me of the righteous.
He said: I desire to marry one of these two daughters of mine to you on condition that you should serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be of your own free will, and I do not wish to be hard to you; if Allah please, you will find me one of the good.
Er sagte: "Dies sei zwischen mir und dir (abgemacht). Welche der beiden Fristen ich auch erfülle, so darf es keine Bedrängnis gegen mich geben. Und Allah ist Sachwalter über das, was wir (hier) sagen."
He said: That (is settled) between thee and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.
He said: This shall be (an agreement) between me and you; whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there shall be no wrongdoing to me; and Allah is a witness of what we say.
Als Musa die Frist erfüllt hatte und mit seinen Angehörigen fortzog, nahm er auf der Seite des Berges ein Feuer wahr. Er sagte zu seinen Angehörigen: "Bleibt hier. Ich habe ein Feuer wahrgenommen; vielleicht kann ich euch davon eine Nachricht oder ein Stück brennendes Holz aus dem Feuer bringen, auf daß ihr euch (daran) wärmen könnt."
Then, when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his housefolk, he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his housefolk: Bide ye (here). Lo! I see in the distance a fire; peradventure I shall bring you tidings thence, or a brand from the fire that ye may warm yourselves.
So when Musa had fulfilled the term, and he journeyed with his family, he perceived on this side of the mountain a fire. He said to his family: Wait, I have seen a fire, maybe I will bring to you from it some news or a brand of fire, so that you may warm yourselves.
Als er dort ankam, wurde ihm vom rechten Ufer des Tales im gesegneten Fleck (Land) aus dem Baum zugerufen: "O Musa, gewiß, Ich bin Allah, der Herr der Weltenbewohner."
And when he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I, even I, am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds;
And when he came to it, a voice was uttered from the right side of the valley in the blessed spot of the bush, saying: O Musa! surely I am Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Und: "Wirf deinen Stock hin." Doch als er sah, daß er sich hin und her bewegte, als wäre er eine flinke Schlange, kehrte er den Rücken und wandte sich nicht mehr um. - "O Musa, komm her und fürchte dich nicht, denn du sollst zu denjenigen gehören, die in Sicherheit sind.
Throw down thy staff. And when he saw it writhing as it had been a demon, he turned to flee headlong, (and it was said unto him): O Moses! Draw nigh and fear not. Lo! thou art of those who are secure.
And saying: Cast down you staff. So when he saw it in motion as if it were a serpent, he turned back retreating, and did not return. O Musa! come forward and fear not; surely you are of those who are secure;
(Und) stecke die Hand in deinen Brustschlitz, so kommt sie weiß, jedoch nicht von Übel befallen, heraus. - Und zieh deinen Arm an dich gegen den Schreck. - Dies sind zwei Beweise von deinem Herrn, (gerichtet) an Fir'aun und seine führende Schar. Gewiß, sie sind ein Volk von Frevlern."
Thrust thy hand into the bosom of thy robe it will come forth white without hurt. And guard thy heart from fear. Then these shall be two proofs from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs. Lo! they are evil - living folk.
Enter your hand into the opening of your bosom, it will come forth white without evil, and draw your hand to yourself to ward off fear: so these two shall be two arguments from your Lord to Firon and his chiefs, surely they are a transgressing people.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe eine (Menschen)seele von ihnen getötet, und so fürchte ich, daß sie mich töten.
He said: My Lord! Lo! I killed a man among them and I fear that they will kill me.
He said: My Lord! surely I killed one of them, so I fear lest they should slay me;
Auch hat mein Bruder Harun eine redegewandtere Zunge. So sende ihn mit mir zur Unterstützung, mich zu bestätigen, denn ich furchte, daß sie mich der Lüge bezichtigen."
My brother Aaron is more eloquent than me in speech. Therefor send him with me as a helper to confirm me. Lo! I fear that they will give the lie to me.
And my brother, Haroun, he is more eloquent of tongue than I, therefore send him with me as an aider, verifying me: surely I fear that they would reject me.
Er sagte: "Wir werden deinen Arm durch deinen Bruder festigen und euch beiden eine Ermächtigung erteilen, so daß sie nicht zu euch gelangen (können). Mit Unseren Zeichen werdet ihr und diejenigen, die euch folgen, Sieger sein."
He said: We will strengthen thine arm with thy brother, and We will give unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our portents. Ye twain, and those who follow you, will be the winners.
He said: We will strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will give you both an authority, so that they shall not reach you; (go) with Our signs; you two and those who follow you shall be uppermost.
Als nun Musa mit Unseren Zeichen als klare Beweise kam, sagten sie: "Das ist nur ersonnene Zauberei. Und wir haben so etwas bei unseren Vorvätern nicht gehört."
But when Moses came unto them with Our clear tokens, they said: This is naught but invented magic. We never heard of this among our fathers of old.
So when Musa came to them with Our clear signs, they said: This is nothing but forged enchantment, and we never heard of it amongst our fathers of old.
Musa sagte: "Mein Herr weiß besser, wer von Ihm her die Rechtleitung bringt und wem die letztendliche Wohnstätte gehören wird. Gewiß, den Ungerechten wird es nicht wohl ergehen."
And Moses said: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance from His presence, and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of bliss). Lo! wrong - doers will not be .
And Musa said: My Lord knows best who comes with guidance from Him, and whose shall be the good end of the abode; surely the unjust shall not be .
Und Fir'aun sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, keinen anderen Gott weiß ich für euch als mich (selbst). So entfache mir, o Haman, einen Brand auf Lehm, und mache mir einen Hochbau, auf daß ich zum Gott Musas emporsteige. Ich glaube fürwahr, daß er zu den Lügnern gehört."
And Pharaoh said: O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the God of Moses; and lo! I deem him of the liars.
And Firon said: O chiefs! I do not know of any god for you besides myself; therefore kindle a fire for me, O Haman, for brick, then prepare for me a lofty building so that I may obtain knowledge of Musa's god, and most surely I think him to be one of the liars.
Er und seine Heerscharen verhielten sich ohne Recht hochmütig auf der Erde und glaubten, daß sie (dereinst) nicht zu Uns zurückgebracht würden.
And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right, and deemed that they would never be brought back to Us.
And he was unjustly proud in the land, he and his hosts, and they deemed that they would not be brought back to Us.
Da ergriffen Wir ihn und seine Heerscharen und warfen sie dann in das große Gewässer. So schau, wie das Ende der Ungerechten war.
Therefor We seized him and his hosts, and abandoned them unto the sea. Behold the nature of the consequence for evil - doers!
So We caught hold of him and his hosts, then We cast them into the sea, and see how was the end of the unjust.
Und Wir machten sie zu Anführern, die zum (Höllen)feuer einladen. Und am Tag der Auferstehung wird ihnen keine Hilfe zuteil werden.
And We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
And We made them Imams who call to the fire, and on the day of resurrection they shall not be assisted.
Und Wir ließen ihnen einen Fluch im Diesseits nachfolgen, und am Tag der Auferstehung werden sie zu den Verabscheuten gehören.
And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be among the hateful.
And We caused a curse to follow them in this world, and on the day of resurrection they shall be of those made to appear hideous.
Und Wir gaben ja Musa die Schrift -, nachdem Wir die früheren Geschlechter vernichteten, - als einsichtbringende Zeichen für die Menschen und als Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
And We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had destroyed the generations of old: clear testimonies for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might reflect.
And certainly We gave Musa the Book after We had destroyed the former generations, clear arguments for men and a guidance and a mercy, that they may be mindful.
Du warst nicht auf der westlichen Seite', als Wir Musa die Angelegenheit auftrugen, und du warst nicht zugegen.
And thou (Muhammad) wast not on the western side (of the Mount) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment, and thou wast not among those present;
And you were not on the western side when We revealed to Musa the commandment, and you were not among the witnesses;
Wir aber ließen Geschlechter entstehen, und es war ihnen ein langes Leben beschieden. Und du hattest dich nicht unter den Leuten von Madyan niederge lassen, um ihnen Unsere Zeichen zu verlesen. Wir aber entsandten immer wieder (Propheten).
But We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations, but We kept sending (messengers to men).
But We raised up generations, then life became prolonged to them; and you were not dwelling among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our communications, but We were the senders.
Und du warst nicht auf der Seite des Berges, als Wir zuriefen. Aber (die Offenbarung ist) als Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn (zu dir gekommen), damit du Leute warnst, zu denen noch kein Warner vor dir gekommen ist, auf daß sie be denken mögen.
And thou was not beside the Mount when We did call; but (the knowledge of it is) a mercy from thy Lord that thou mayst warn a folk unto whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may give heed.
And you were not on this side of the mountain when We called, but a mercy from your Lord that you may warn a people to whom no warner came before you, that they may be mindful.
(Hätten Wir dich nicht entsandt), würden sie sagen, wenn sie ein Unglück trifft wegen dessen, was ihre Hände vorausgeschickt haben: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können und zu den Gläubigen'hätten gehören können!"
Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers ?
And were it not that there should befall them a disaster for what their hands have sent before, then they should say: Our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us an apostle so that we should have followed Thy communications and been of the believers!
Als nun die Wahrheit von Uns her zu ihnen kam, sagten sie: "Wäre ihm doch das gleiche gegeben worden, was Musa gegeben wurde!" Haben sie denn nicht das verleugnet, was zuvor Musa gegeben wurde? Sie sagen: "Zwei Zauberwerke, die einander beistehen." Und sie sagen: "Wir verleugnen sie alle (beide)."
But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses ? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old ? They say: Two magics that support each other; and they say: Lo! in both we are disbelievers.
But (now) when the truth has come to them from Us, they say: Why is he not given the like of what was given to Musa? What! did they not disbelieve in what Musa was given before? They say: Two magicians backing up each other; and they say: Surely we are unbelievers in all.
Sag: Bringt doch eine Schrift von Allah bei, die eine bessere Rechtleitung enthält als diese beiden, so will ich ihr folgen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Then bring a scripture from the presence of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two (that) I may follow it, if ye are truthful.
Say: Then bring some (other) book from Allah which is a better guide than both of them, (that) I may follow it, if you are truthful.
Wenn sie nicht auf dich hören, so wisse, daß sie nur ihren Neigungen folgen. Und wer ist weiter abgeirrt als jemand, der seiner Neigung folgt ohne Rechtleitung von Allah. Gewiß, Allah leitet das ungerechte Volk nicht recht.
And if they answer thee not, then know that what they follow is their lusts. And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust without guidance from Allah. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
But if they do not answer you, then know that they only follow their low desires; and who is more erring than he who follows his low desires without any guidance from Allah? Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.
Und Wir haben ihnen ja das Wort aufeinanderfolgend übermittelt, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
And now verily We have caused the Word to reach them, that haply they may give heed.
And certainly We have made the word to reach them so that they may be mindful.
Diejenigen, denen Wir vor ihm die Schrift gaben, glauben an ihn.
Those unto whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it,
(As to) those whom We gave the Book before it, they are believers in it.
Und wenn er ihnen verlesen wird, sagen sie: "Wir glauben an ihn. Gewiß, es ist die Wahrheit von unserem Herrn. Wir waren ja schon vor ihm (Allah) ergeben."
And when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender (unto Him).
And when it is recited to them they say: We believe in it surely it is the truth from our Lord; surely we were submitters before this.
Diese erhalten ihren Lohn zweimal dafür, daß sie standhaft waren. Und sie wehren mit dem Guten das Böse ab und geben von dem aus, womit Wir sie versorgt haben.
These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided them,
These shall be granted their reward twice, because they are steadfast and they repel evil with good and spend out of what We have given them.
Und wenn sie unbedachte Rede hören, wenden sie sich davon ab und sagen: "Wir haben unsere Taten und ihr habt eure Taten (zu verantworten). Friede sei auf euch! Wir trachten nicht nach (dem Umgang mit) den Toren."
And when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto us our works and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the ignorant.
And when they hear idle talk they turn aside from it and say: We shall have our deeds and you shall have your deeds; peace be on you, we do not desire the ignorant.
Gewiß, du kannst nicht rechtleiten, wen du gern (rechtgeleitet sehen) möchtest. Allah aber leitet recht, wen Er will. Er kennt sehr wohl die Rechtgeleiteten.
Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
Surely you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah guides whom He pleases, and He knows best the followers of the right way.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn wir der Rechtleitung mit dir folgen, werden wir von unserem Land fortgerissen." Haben Wir ihnen denn nicht eine feste Stellung in einem sicheren geschützten Bezirk verliehen, zu dem die Früchte jeder Art zusammengetragen werden als Versorgung von Uns aus? Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
And they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with thee we should be torn out of our land. Have We not established for them a sure sanctuary, whereunto the produce of all things is brought (in trade), a provision from Our presence ? But most of them know not.
And they say: If we follow the guidance with you, we shall be carried off from our country. What! have We not settled them in a safe, sacred territory to which fruits of every kind shall be drawn? - - a sustenance from Us; but most of them do not know.
Und wie (so) manche Stadt, die sich übermütig ihres Lebensunterhaltes erfreute, haben Wir vernichtet! Da sind nun ihre Wohnorte, die nach ihnen nicht mehr bewohnt wurden, bis auf wenige. Und Wir sind es, die Erben (all dessen) geworden sind.
And how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless for its means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them save a little. And We, even We, were the inheritors.
And how many a town have We destroyed which exulted in its means of subsistence, so these are their abodes, they have not been dwelt in after them except a little, and We are the inheritors,
Und dein Herr hätte nimmer die Städte vernichtet, bevor Er nicht in ihrem Mittelpunkt einen Gesandten hätte erstehen lassen, der ihnen Unsere Zeichen verliest. Und Wir hätten die Städte nimmer vernichtet, wenn ihre Bewohner nicht ungerecht gewesen wären.
And never did thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother( - town) a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations. And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof were evil - doers.
And your Lord never destroyed the towns until He raised in their metropolis an apostle, reciting to them Our communications, and We never destroyed the towns except when their people were unjust.
Und was immer euch gegeben geworden ist, ist Genuß und Schmuck des diesseitigen Lebens. Was aber bei Allah ist, ist besser und beständiger. Begreift ihr denn nicht?
And whatsoever ye have been given is a comfort of the life of the world and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting. Have ye then no sense ?
And whatever things you have been given are only a provision of this world's life and its adornment, and whatever is with Allah is better and more lasting; do you not then understand?
Ist denn einer, dem Wir ein schönes Versprechen gegeben haben und der es auch vorfinden wird, einem gleich, den Wir den Genuß des diesseitigen Lebens genießen lassen, der hierauf aber am Tag der Auferstehung zu den Vorgeführten gehören wird?
Is he whom We have promised a fair promise which he will find (true) like him whom We suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of the world, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those arraigned ?
Is he to whom We have promised a goodly promise which he shall meet with like him whom We have provided with the provisions of this world's life, then on the day of resurrection he shall be of those who are brought up?
Und am Tag, da Er ihnen zuruft und sagt: "Wo sind (nun) Meine Teilhaber, die ihr stets angegeben habt?"
On the day when He will call unto them and say: Where are My partners whom ye imagined ?
And on the day when He will call them and say: Where are those whom you deemed to be My associates?
Diejenigen, gegen die sich das Wort bewahrheitet hat, sagen: "Unser Herr, diese, die wir in Verirrung haben fallen lassen, haben wir (nur) in Verirrung fallen lassen, wie wir selbst in Verirrung gefallen waren. (Von ihnen) sagen wir uns vor Dir los. Nicht uns dienten sie ja."
Those concerning whom the Word will have come true will say: Our Lord! These are they whom we led astray. We led them astray even as we ourselves were astray. We declare our innocence before Thee: us they never worshipped.
Those against whom the sentence has become confirmed will say: Our Lord! these are they whom we caused to err; we caused them to err as we ourselves did err; to Thee we declare ourselves to be clear (of them); they never served Us.
Und es wird gesagt werden: "Ruft eure Teilhaber." Sie werden sie anrufen, aber sie werden ihnen nicht antworten. Und sie werden die Strafe sehen. Wenn sie sich hätten rechtleiten lassen (, wären sie gerettet gewesen).
And it will be said: Cry unto your (so - called) partners (of Allah). And they will cry unto them, and they will give no answer unto them, and they will see the Doom. Ah, if they had but been guided!
And it will be said: Call your associate - gods. So they will call upon them, but they will not answer them, and they shall see the punishment; would that they had followed the right way!
Und am Tag, da Er ihnen zurufen wird und sagt: "Was habt ihr den Gesandten geantwortet?"
And on the Day when He will call unto them and say: What answer gave ye to the messengers ?

Ihren Blicken werden an jenem Tag die Beweise entzogen sein, und so fragen sie sich nicht mehr gegenseitig.
On that day (all) tidings will be dimmed for them, nor will they ask one of another,
Then the pleas shall become obscure to them on that day, so they shall not ask each other.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt, der wird vielleicht zu denjenigen gehören, denen es wohl ergeht.

But as to him who repents and believes and does good, maybe he will be among the :
Und dein Herr erschafft, was Er will, und wählt. Ihnen aber steht es nicht zu, zu wählen. Preis sei Allah! Erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They have never any choice. Glorified be Allah and Exalted above all that they associate (with Him)!
And your Lord creates and chooses whom He pleases; to choose is not theirs; glory be to Allah, and exalted be He above what they associate (with Him).
Und dein Herr weiß, was ihre Brüste verhehlen und was sie offenlegen.
And thy Lord knoweth what their breasts conceal, and what they publish.

And He is Allah, there is no god but He! All praise is due to Him in this (life) and the hereafter, and His is the judgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.
Sag: Was meint ihr, wenn Allah auf euch die Nacht als Dauerzustand legen würde bis zum Tag der Auferstehung, wer wäre (dann) Gott außer Allah, Der euch Licht bringen würde? Wollt ihr denn nicht hören?
Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made night everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you light ? Will ye not then hear ?
Say: Tell me, if Allah were to make the night to continue incessantly on you till the day of resurrection, who is the god besides Allah that could bring you light? Do you not then hear?
Sag: Was meint ihr, wenn Allah auf euch den Tag als Dauerzustand legen würde bis zum Tag der Auferstehung, wer wäre (dann) Gott außer Allah, Der euch eine Nacht bringen würde, in der ihr ruht? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?

In Seiner Barmherzigkeit hat Er euch die Nacht und den Tag gemacht, damit ihr darin ruht und damit ihr (auch) nach etwas von Seiner Huld trachtet, und auf daß ihr dankbar sein möget.
Of His mercy hath He appointed for you night and day, that therein ye may rest, and that ye may seek His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful.

Und Wir nehmen aus jeder Gemeinschaft einen Zeugen heraus, und da sagen Wir: "Bringt euren Beweis vor." Dann werden sie wissen, daß die Wahrheit Allah gehört. Und entschwunden wird ihnen sein, was sie zu ersinnen pflegten.
And We shall take out from every nation a witness and We shall say: Bring your proof. Then they will know that Allah hath the Truth, and all that they invented will have failed them.
And We will draw forth from among every nation a witness and say: Bring your proof; then shall they know that the truth is Allah's, and that which they forged shall depart from them.
Gewiß, Qarun gehörte zum Volk Musas, doch unterdrückte er sie. Und Wir gaben ihm solche Schätze, daß deren Schlüssel wahrlich eine schwere Last für eine (ganze) Schar kräftiger Männer gewesen wären. Als sein Volk zu ihm sagte: "Sei nicht (übermütig) froh, denn Allah liebt nicht diejenigen (Unterdrücker), die (zu übermütig) froh sind,
Now Korah was of Moses' folk, but he oppressed them; and We gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men. When his own folk said unto him: Exult not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;
Surely Qaroun was of the people of Musa, but he rebelled against them, and We had given him of the treasures, so much so that his hoards of wealth would certainly weigh down a company of men possessed of great strength. When his people said to him: Do not exult, surely Allah does not love the exultant;
sondern trachte mit dem, was Allah dir gegeben hat, nach der jenseitigen Wohnstätte, vergiß aber auch nicht deinen Anteil am Diesseits. Und tu Gutes, so wie Allah dir Gutes getan hat. Und trachte nicht nach Unheil auf der Erde, denn Allah liebt nicht die Unheilstifter."
But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which Allah hath given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world, and be thou kind even as Allah hath been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the earth; lo! Allah loveth not corrupters,
And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief - makers.
Er sagte: "Es ist mir nur gegeben worden aufgrund von Wissen, das ich besitze." Wußte er denn nicht, daß Allah bereits vor ihm solche Geschlechter vernichtet hatte, die eine stärkere Kraft als er besaßen und eine größere Ansammlung (an Helfern) hatten? Und die Übeltäter werden nicht nach ihren Sünden befragt.
He said: I have been given it only on account of knowledge I possess. Knew he not that Allah had destroyed already of the generations before him men who were mightier than him in strength and greater in respect of following ? The guilty are not questioned of their sins.
He said: I have been given this only on account of the knowledge I have. Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of the generations those who were mightier in strength than he and greater in assemblage? And the guilty shall not be asked about their faults.
Und so trat er zu seinem Volk in seinem Schmuck heraus. Diejenigen, die das diesseitige Leben begehrten, sagten: "O hätten doch (auch) wir das gleiche wie das, was Qarun gegeben worden ist! Er hat wahrlich gewaltiges Glück."
Then went he forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of the world said: Ah, would that we had the like of what hath been given unto Korah! Lo! he is lord of rare good fortune.
So he went forth to his people in his finery. Those who desire this world's life said: O would that we had the like of what Qaroun is given; most surely he is possessed of mighty good fortune.
Aber diejenigen, denen das Wissen gegeben worden war, sagten: "Wehe euch! Allahs Belohnung ist besser für jemanden, der glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt." Aber es wird nur den Standhaften dargeboten.
But those who had been given knowledge said: Woe unto you! The reward of Allah for him who believeth and doeth right is better, and only the steadfast will obtain it.
And those who were given the knowledge said: Woe to you! Allah's reward is better for him who believes and does good, and none is made to receive this except the patient.
Da ließen Wir mit ihm und mit seiner Wohnstätte die Erde versinken. Und da hatte er weder eine Schar, die ihm vor Allah half, noch konnte er sich selbst helfen.
So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling - place. Then he had no host to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who can save themselves.
Thus We made the earth to swallow up him and his abode; so he had no body of helpers to assist him against Allah nor was he of those who can defend themselves.
Und diejenigen, die sich am Tag zuvor (an) seine(r) Stelle (zu sein) gewünscht hatten, begannen zu sagen: "Ah sieh! Allah gewährt die Versorgung großzügig, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will, und bemißt auch. Wenn Allah uns nicht eine Wohltat erwiesen hätte, hätte Er uns wahrlich (auch) versinken lassen. Ah sieh! Den Ungläubigen wird es nicht wohl ergehen."
And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.
And those who yearned for his place only the day before began to say: Ah! (know) that Allah amplifies and straitens the means of subsistence for whom He pleases of His servants; had not Allah been gracious to us, He would most surely have abased us; ah! (know) that the ungrateful are never .
Das ist die jenseitige Wohnstätte. Wir bestimmen sie für diejenigen, die weder Überheblichkeit auf der Erde noch Unheil begehren. Und das (gute) Ende gehört den Gottesfürchtigen.
As for that Abode of the Hereafter We assign it unto those who seek not oppression in the earth, nor yet corruption. The sequel is for those who ward off (evil).
(As for) that future abode, We assign it to those who have no desire to exalt themselves in the earth nor to make mischief and the good end is for those who guard (against evil)
Wer mit einer guten Tat kommt, für den wird es etwas Besseres als sie geben. Wer aber mit einer bösen Tat kommt, so wird denjenigen, die böse Taten begehen, nur das vergolten, was sie zu tun pflegten.
Whoso bringeth a good deed, he will have better than the same; while as for him who bringeth an ill - deed, those who do ill - deeds will be requited only what they did.
Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it, and whoever brings evil, those who do evil shall not be rewarded (for) aught except what they did.
Derjenige, Der dir den Qur'an verpflichtend gemacht hat, wird dich sicher zu einem Ort der Wiederkehr zurückkehren lassen. Sag: Mein Herr weiß besser, wer die Rechtleitung bringt und wer sich in deutlichem Irrtum befindet.
Lo! He Who hath given thee the Qur'an for a law will surely bring thee home again. Say: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance and him who is in error manifest.
Most surely He Who has made the Quran binding on you will bring you back to the destination. Say: My Lord knows best him who has brought the guidance and him who is in manifest error.
Und du hattest nicht erwartet, daß das Buch an dich gerichtet würde. Es ist nur aus Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn. Darum leiste den Ungläubigen ja keinen Beistand.
Thou hadst no hope that the Scripture would be inspired in thee; but it is a mercy from thy Lord, so never be a helper to the disbelievers.
And you did not expect that the Book would be inspired to you, but it is a mercy from your Lord, therefore be not a backer - up of the unbelievers.
Und lasse sie dich nur nicht von den Zeichen Allahs abhalten, nachdem sie nun zu dir herabgesandt worden sind. Und rufe zu deinem Herrn, und gehöre ja nicht zu den Götzendienern.
And let them not divert thee from the revelations of Allah after they have been sent down unto thee; but call (mankind) unto thy Lord, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him).
And let them not turn you aside from the communications of Allah after they have been revealed to you, and call (men) to your Lord and be not of the polytheists.
Und rufe neben Allah keinen anderen Gott an. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Alles wird untergehen - außer Seinem Angesicht. Ihm gehört das Urteil, und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
And cry not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no God save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back.
And call not with Allah any other god; there is no god but He, every thing is perishable but He; His is the judgment, and to Him you shall be brought back.
