Chapter 18, 110 verses
(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, Der das Buch (als Offenbarung) auf Seinen Diener herabgesandt und daran nichts Krummes gemacht hat,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah Who hath revealed the Scripture unto His slave, and hath not placed therein any crookedness,
[All] praise is [due] to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance.
ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَلَمْ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ عِوَجَا
(ein Buch,) das richtig ist, damit er vor harter Gewalt von Ihm aus warne und den Gläubigen, die rechtschaffene Werke tun, verkünde, daß es für sie schönen Lohn geben wird -,
(But hath made it) straight, to give warning of stern punishment from Him, and to bring unto the believers who do good works the news that theirs will be a fair reward,
[He has made it] straight, to warn of severe punishment from Him and to give good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a good reward
قَيِّمًا لِّيُنذِرَ بَأْسًا شَدِيدًا مِّن لَّدُنْهُ وَيُبَشِّرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ أَنَّ لَهُمْ أَجْرًا حَسَنًا
auf immer darin zu verbleiben -,
Wherein they will abide for ever;
In which they will remain forever
مَّٰكِثِينَ فِيهِ أَبَدًا
und (damit er) diejenigen warne, die sagen: "Allah hat Sich Kinder genommen."
And to warn those who say: Allah hath chosen a son,
And to warn those who say, "Allah has taken a son."
وَيُنذِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوا۟ ٱتَّخَذَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَدًا
Sie haben kein Wissen davon, und auch nicht ihre Väter. Welch schwerwiegendes Wort kommt aus ihren Mündern heraus. Sie sagen nichts als Lüge.
(A thing) whereof they have no knowledge, nor (had) their fathers, Dreadful is the word that cometh out of their mouths. They speak naught but a lie.
They have no knowledge of it, nor had their fathers. Grave is the word that comes out of their mouths; they speak not except a lie.
مَّا لَهُم بِهِۦ مِنْ عِلْمٍ وَلَا لِءَابَآئِهِمْ كَبُرَتْ كَلِمَةً تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَٰهِهِمْ إِن يَقُولُونَ إِلَّا كَذِبًا
Vielleicht magst du (aus Gram) noch dich selbst umbringen, wenn sie an diese Botschaft nicht glauben, nachdem sie sich abgewandt haben.
Yet it may be, if they believe not in this statement, that thou (Muhammad) wilt torment thy soul with grief over their footsteps.
Then perhaps you would kill yourself through grief over them, [O Muhammad], if they do not believe in this message, [and] out of sorrow.
فَلَعَلَّكَ بَٰخِعٌ نَّفْسَكَ عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِمْ إِن لَّمْ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَسَفًا
Gewiß, Wir haben (alles), was auf der Erde ist, zu einem Schmuck für sie gemacht, um sie zu prüfen (und festzustellen), wer von ihnen die besten Taten begeht.
Lo! We have placed all that is on the earth as an ornament thereof that We may try them: which of them is best in conduct.
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مَا عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ زِينَةً لَّهَا لِنَبْلُوَهُمْ أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا
Und Wir werden das, was auf ihr ist, wahrlich zu unfruchtbarem Erdboden machen.
And lo! We shall make all that is thereon a barren mound.
And indeed, We will make that which is upon it [into] a barren ground.
وَإِنَّا لَجَٰعِلُونَ مَا عَلَيْهَا صَعِيدًا جُرُزًا
Oder meinst du etwa, daß die Leute der Höhle und der Inschrift ein (besonders) verwunderliches unter Unseren Zeichen sind?
Or deemest thou that the People of the Cave and the Inscription are a wonder among Our portents ?
Or have you thought that the companions of the cave and the inscription were, among Our signs, a wonder?
أَمْ حَسِبْتَ أَنَّ أَصْحَٰبَ ٱلْكَهْفِ وَٱلرَّقِيمِ كَانُوا۟ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِنَا عَجَبًا
Als die Jünglinge in der Höhle Zuflucht suchten und sagten: "Unser Herr, gib uns Barmherzigkeit von Dir aus, und bereite uns in unserer Angelegenheit einen rechten (Aus)weg."
When the young men fled for refuge to the Cave and said: Our Lord! Give us mercy from Thy presence, and shape for us right conduct in our plight.
[Mention] when the youths retreated to the cave and said, "Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance."
إِذْ أَوَى ٱلْفِتْيَةُ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَآ ءَاتِنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً وَهَيِّئْ لَنَا مِنْ أَمْرِنَا رَشَدًا
Da ließen Wir sie in der Höhle für eine Anzahl von Jahren in Dauerschlaf fallen.
Then We sealed up their hearing in the Cave for a number of years.
So We cast [a cover of sleep] over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
فَضَرَبْنَا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ فِى ٱلْكَهْفِ سِنِينَ عَدَدًا
Hierauf erweckten Wir sie auf, um zu wissen, welche der beiden Gruppierungen am richtigsten die Dauer ihres Verweilens erfaßt hat.
And afterward We raised them up that We might know which of the two parties would best calculate the time that they had tarried.
Then We awakened them that We might show which of the two factions was most precise in calculating what [extent] they had remained in time.
ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَٰهُمْ لِنَعْلَمَ أَىُّ ٱلْحِزْبَيْنِ أَحْصَىٰ لِمَا لَبِثُوٓا۟ أَمَدًا
Wir berichten dir ihre Geschichte der Wahrheit entsprechend. Sie waren Jünglinge, die an ihren Herrn glaubten und denen Wir ihre Rechtleitung mehrten.
We narrate unto thee their story with truth. Lo! they were young men who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
It is We who relate to you, [O Muhammad], their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.
نَّحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِٱلْحَقِّ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَٰهُمْ هُدًى
Und Wir stärkten ihre Herzen, als sie aufstanden und sagten: "Unser Herr ist der Herr der Himmel und der Erde. Wir werden außer Ihm keinen (anderen) Gott anrufen, sonst würden wir ja etwas Unrechtes sagen.
And We made firm their hearts when they stood forth and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. We cry unto no God beside Him, for then should we utter an enormity.
And We made firm their hearts when they stood up and said, "Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Never will we invoke besides Him any deity. We would have certainly spoken, then, an excessive transgression.
وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا۟ فَقَالُوا۟ رَبُّنَا رَبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ لَن نَّدْعُوَا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ إِلَٰهًا لَّقَدْ قُلْنَآ إِذًا شَطَطًا
Dieses, unser Volk hat sich außer Ihm (andere) Götter genommen. Wenn sie doch für sie eine deutliche Ermächtigung bringen würden! Wer ist denn ungerechter, als wer gegen Allah eine Lüge ersinnt?
These, our people, have chosen (other) gods beside Him though they bring no clear warrant (vouchsafed) to them. And who doth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah ?
These, our people, have taken besides Him deities. Why do they not bring for [worship of] them a clear authority? And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie?"
هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمُنَا ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّوْلَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَيْهِم بِسُلْطَٰنٍۭ بَيِّنٍ فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ ٱفْتَرَىٰ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ كَذِبًا
Und da ihr euch nun von ihnen und von demjenigen, dem sie außer Allah dienen, fernhaltet, so sucht Zuflucht in der Höhle; euer Herr wird über euch (einiges) von Seiner Barmherzigkeit ausbreiten und euch in eurer Angelegenheit eine milde Behandlung bereiten."
And when ye withdraw from them and that which they worship except Allah, then seek refuge in the Cave; your Lord will spread for you of His mercy and will prepare for you a pillow in your plight.
[The youths said to one another], "And when you have withdrawn from them and that which they worship other than Allah, retreat to the cave. Your Lord will spread out for you of His mercy and will prepare for you from your affair facility."
وَإِذِ ٱعْتَزَلْتُمُوهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهَ فَأْوُۥٓا۟ إِلَى ٱلْكَهْفِ يَنشُرْ لَكُمْ رَبُّكُم مِّن رَّحْمَتِهِۦ وَيُهَيِّئْ لَكُم مِّنْ أَمْرِكُم مِّرْفَقًا
Und du siehst die Sonne, wenn sie aufgeht, sich von ihrer Höhle zur Rechten wegneigen, und wenn sie untergeht, an ihnen zur Linken vorbeigehen, während sie sich darin in einem Raum befinden. Das gehört zu Allahs Zeichen. Wen Allah rechtleitet, der ist (in Wahrheit) rechtgeleitet; wen Er aber in die Irre gehen läßt, für den wirst du keinen Schutzherrn finden, der ihn den rechten Weg führt.
And thou mightest have seen the sun when it rose move away from their cave to the right, and when it set go past them on the left, and they were in the cleft thereof. That was (one) of the portents of Allah. He whom Allah guideth, he indeed is led aright, and he whom He sendeth astray, for him thou wilt not find a guiding friend.
And [had you been present], you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were [laying] within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah. He whom Allah guides is the [rightly] guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide.
وَتَرَى ٱلشَّمْسَ إِذَا طَلَعَت تَّزَٰوَرُ عَن كَهْفِهِمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَإِذَا غَرَبَت تَّقْرِضُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَهُمْ فِى فَجْوَةٍ مِّنْهُ ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ ءَايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ مَن يَهْدِ ٱللَّهُ فَهُوَ
Du meinst, sie seien wach, obwohl sie schlafen. Und Wir drehen sie nach rechts und nach links um, während ihr Hund seine Vorderbeine im Vorraum ausstreckt. Wenn du sie erblicktest, würdest du dich vor ihnen fürwahr zur Flucht kehren und vor ihnen fürwahr mit Schrecken erfüllt sein.
And thou wouldst have deemed them waking though they were asleep, and We caused them to turn over to the right and the left, and their dog stretching out his paws on the threshold. If thou hadst observed them closely thou hadst assuredly turned away from them in flight, and hadst been filled with awe of them.
And you would think them awake, while they were asleep. And We turned them to the right and to the left, while their dog stretched his forelegs at the entrance. If you had looked at them, you would have turned from them in flight and been filled by them with terror.
وَتَحْسَبُهُمْ أَيْقَاظًا وَهُمْ رُقُودٌ وَنُقَلِّبُهُمْ ذَاتَ ٱلْيَمِينِ وَذَاتَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَكَلْبُهُم بَٰسِطٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ بِٱلْوَصِيدِ لَوِ ٱطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَوَلَّيْتَ مِنْهُمْ فِرَارًا وَلَمُلِئْتَ مِنْهُم
Und so erweckten Wir sie auf, damit sie sich gegenseitig fragten. Einer von ihnen sagte: "Wie lange habt ihr verweilt?" Sie sagten: "Verweilt haben wir einen Tag oder den Teil eines Tages." Sie sagten: "Euer Herr weiß am besten, wie (lange) ihr verweilt habt. So schickt einen von euch mit diesen euren Silbermünzen in die Stadt; er soll sehen, welche ihre reinste Speise ist, und euch davon eine Versorgung bringen. Er soll behutsam sein und ja niemanden etwas von euch merken lassen.
And in like manner We awakened them that they might question one another. A speaker from among them said: How long have ye tarried ? They said: We have tarried a day or some part of a day, (Others) said: Your Lord best knoweth what ye have tarried. Now send one of you with this your silver coin unto the city, and let him see what food is purest there and bring you a supply thereof. Let him be courteous and let no man know of you.
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained [here]?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ بَعَثْنَٰهُمْ لِيَتَسَآءَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُمْ قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنْهُمْ كَمْ لَبِثْتُمْ قَالُوا۟ لَبِثْنَا يَوْمًا أَوْ بَعْضَ يَوْمٍ قَالُوا۟ رَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثْتُمْ فَٱبْعَثُوٓا۟ أَحَدَكُم
Denn wenn sie von euch erfahren', werden sie euch steinigen oder euch (zwangsweise) zu ihrer Glaubensrichtung zurückbringen; dann wird es euch niemals mehr wohl ergehen."
For they, if they should come to know of you, will stone you or turn you back to their religion; then ye will never prosper.
Indeed, if they come to know of you, they will stone you or return you to their religion. And never would you succeed, then - ever."
إِنَّهُمْ إِن يَظْهَرُوا۟ عَلَيْكُمْ يَرْجُمُوكُمْ أَوْ يُعِيدُوكُمْ فِى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَلَن تُفْلِحُوٓا۟ إِذًا أَبَدًا
So ließen Wir (die Menschen) sie doch entdecken, damit sie wissen, daß Allahs Versprechen wahr ist und daß es an der Stunde keinen Zweifel gibt. Als sie untereinander über ihre Angelegenheit stritten, da sagten sie: "Errichtet über ihnen einen Bau. Ihr Herr weiß am besten über sie Bescheid." Diejenigen, die in ihrer Angelegenheit siegten, sagten: "Wir werden uns über ihnen ganz gewiß eine Gebetsstätte einrichten."
And in like manner We disclosed them (to the people of the city) that they might know that the promise of Allah is true, and that, as for the Hour, there is no doubt concerning it. When (the people of the city) disputed of their case among themselves, they said: Build over them a building; their Lord knoweth best concerning them. Those who won their point said: We verily shall build a place of worship over them.
And similarly, We caused them to be found that they [who found them] would know that the promise of Allah is truth and that of the Hour there is no doubt. [That was] when they disputed among themselves about their affair and [then] said, "Construct over them a structure. Their Lord is most knowing about them." Said those who prevailed in the matter, "We will surely take [for ourselves] over them a masjid."
وَكَذَٰلِكَ أَعْثَرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ وَعْدَ ٱللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَأَنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهَآ إِذْ يَتَنَٰزَعُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ فَقَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ عَلَيْهِم بُنْيَٰنًا رَّبُّهُمْ أَ
(Manche) werden sagen: "(Es waren ihrer) drei, ihr Hund war der vierte von ihnen." Und (manche) sagen: "(Es waren ihrer) fünf, der sechste von ihnen war ihr Hund." - Ein Herumraten über das Verborgene. Und (manche) sagen: "(Es waren ihrer) sieben, und der achte von ihnen war ihr Hund." Sag: Mein Herr kennt ihre Zahl am besten; nur wenige kennen sie. Darum streite über sie nur in offensichtlichem Streit, und frage niemanden von ihnen um Auskunft über sie.
(Some) will say: They were three, their dog the fourth, and (some) say: Five, their dog the sixth, guessing at random; and (some) say: Seven, and their dog the eighth. Say (O Muhammad): My Lord is Best Aware of their number. None knoweth them save a few. So contend not concerning them except with an outward contending, and ask not any of them to pronounce concerning them.
They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."
سَيَقُولُونَ ثَلَٰثَةٌ رَّابِعُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ خَمْسَةٌ سَادِسُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ رَجْمًۢا بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيَقُولُونَ سَبْعَةٌ وَثَامِنُهُمْ كَلْبُهُمْ قُل رَّبِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ بِعِدَّتِهِم مَّا يَعْلَمُهُمْ إِ
Und sag ja nur nicht von einer Sache: "Ich werde dies morgen tun",
And say not of anything: Lo! I shall do that tomorrow,
And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ لِشَا۟ىْءٍ إِنِّى فَاعِلٌ ذَٰلِكَ غَدًا
außer (du fügst hinzu): "Wenn Allah will." Und gedenke deines Herrn, wenn du (etwas) vergessen hast, und sag: "Vielleicht leitet mich mein Herr zu etwas, was dem rechten Ausweg näher kommt als dies."
Except if Allah will. And remember thy Lord when thou forgettest, and say: It may be that my Lord guideth me unto a nearer way of truth than this.
Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."
إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ وَٱذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّى لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَٰذَا رَشَدًا
Und sie verweilten in ihrer Höhle dreihundert Jahre und noch neun dazu.
And (it is said) they tarried in their Cave three hundred years and add nine.
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
وَلَبِثُوا۟ فِى كَهْفِهِمْ ثَلَٰثَ مِا۟ئَةٍ سِنِينَ وَٱزْدَادُوا۟ تِسْعًا
Sag: Allah weiß am besten, wie (lange) sie verweilten. Sein ist das Verborgene der Himmel und der Erde. Wie vorzüglich ist Er als Allsehender, und wie vorzüglich ist Er als Allhörender! Sie haben außer Ihm keinen Schutzherrn, und Er beteiligt an Seiner Urteilsgewalt niemanden.
Say: Allah is Best Aware how long they tarried. His is the Invisible of the heavens and the earth. How clear of sight is He and keen of hearing! They have no protecting friend beside Him, and He maketh none to share in His government.
Say, "Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has [knowledge of] the unseen [aspects] of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
قُلِ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا لَبِثُوا۟ لَهُۥ غَيْبُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَبْصِرْ بِهِۦ وَأَسْمِعْ مَا لَهُم مِّن دُونِهِۦ مِن وَلِىٍّ وَلَا يُشْرِكُ فِى حُكْمِهِۦٓ أَحَدًا
Und verlies, was dir vom Buch deines Herrn (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden ist. Es gibt niemanden, der Seine Worte abändern könnte, und du wirst außer (bei) Ihm keine Zuflucht finden.
And recite that which hath been revealed unto thee of the Scripture of thy Lord. There is none who can change His words, and thou wilt find no refuge beside Him.
And recite, [O Muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.
وَٱتْلُ مَآ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ مِن كِتَابِ رَبِّكَ لَا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِمَٰتِهِۦ وَلَن تَجِدَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مُلْتَحَدًا
Halte dich geduldig zurück zusammen mit denen, die ihren Herrn morgens und abends anrufen, im Begehren nach Seinem Angesicht. Und deine Augen sollen nicht über sie hinwegsehen, indem du den Schmuck des diesseitigen Lebens begehrst'. Und gehorche nicht jemandem, dessen Herz Wir Unserem Gedenken gegenüber unachtsam gemacht haben, der seiner Neigung folgt und dessen Angelegenheit (durch) Maßlosigkeit (ausgezeichnet) ist.
Restrain thyself along with those who cry unto their Lord at morn and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes overlook them, desiring the pomp of the life of the world; and obey not him whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance, who followeth his own lust and whose case hath been abandoned.
And keep yourself patient [by being] with those who call upon their Lord in the morning and the evening, seeking His countenance. And let not your eyes pass beyond them, desiring adornments of the worldly life, and do not obey one whose heart We have made heedless of Our remembrance and who follows his desire and whose affair is ever [in] neglect.
وَٱصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُم بِٱلْغَدَوٰةِ وَٱلْعَشِىِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُۥ وَلَا تَعْدُ عَيْنَاكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَلَا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنَا قَلْبَهُۥ
Und sag: (Es ist) die Wahrheit von eurem Herrn. Wer nun will, der soll glauben, und wer will, der soll ungläubig sein. Gewiß, Wir haben den Ungerechten ein Feuer bereitet, dessen Zeltdecke sie umfangen hält. Und wenn sie um Hilfe rufen, wird ihnen mit Wasser wie geschmolzenem Erz geholfen, das die Gesichter versengt - ein schlimmes Getränk und ein böser Rastplatz!
Say: (It is) the truth from the Lord of you (all). Then whosoever will, let him believe, and whosoever will, let him disbelieve. Lo! We have prepared for disbelievers Fire. Its tent encloseth them. If they ask for showers, they will be showered with water like to molten lead which burneth the faces. Calamitous the drink and ill the resting - place!
And say, "The truth is from your Lord, so whoever wills - let him believe; and whoever wills - let him disbelieve." Indeed, We have prepared for the wrongdoers a fire whose walls will surround them. And if they call for relief, they will be relieved with water like murky oil, which scalds [their] faces. Wretched is the drink, and evil is the resting place.
وَقُلِ ٱلْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمْ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيُؤْمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمْ سُرَادِقُهَا وَإِن يَسْتَغِيثُوا۟ يُغَاثُوا۟ بِمَآءٍ كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَشْوِ
Diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun - gewiß, Wir lassen den Lohn derer nicht verlorengehen, die die besten Taten begehen.
Lo! as for those who believe and do good works - Lo! We suffer not the reward of one whose work is goodly to be lost.
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of any who did well in deeds.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ إِنَّا لَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ عَمَلًا
Für jene wird es die Gärten Edens geben, wo unterhalb von) ihnen Flüsse strömen. Geschmückt sind sie darin mit Armreifen aus Gold, und sie tragen grüne Gewänder aus Seidenbrokat und schwerem Brokat, indem sie sich darin auf überdachten Liegen lehnen. Wie trefflich ist die Belohnung und wie schön der Rastplatz!
As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be given armlets of gold and will wear green robes of finest silk and gold embroidery, reclining upon throne therein. Blest the reward, and fair the resting - place!
Those will have gardens of perpetual residence; beneath them rivers will flow. They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and will wear green garments of fine silk and brocade, reclining therein on adorned couches. Excellent is the reward, and good is the resting place.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتُ عَدْنٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهِمُ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَيَلْبَسُونَ ثِيَابًا خُضْرًا مِّن سُندُسٍ وَإِسْتَبْرَقٍ مُّتَّكِـِٔينَ فِيهَا عَلَى ٱلْأَ
Und präge ihnen das Gleichnis von zwei Männern. Dem einen der beiden gaben Wir zwei Gärten mit Rebstöcken, und Wir umgaben sie mit Palmen und legten dazwischen (sonstige) Pflanzungen an.
Coin for them a similitude: Two men, unto one of whom We had assigned two gardens of grapes, and We had surrounded both with date - palms and had put between them tillage.
And present to them an example of two men: We granted to one of them two gardens of grapevines, and We bordered them with palm trees and placed between them [fields of] crops.
وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلًا رَّجُلَيْنِ جَعَلْنَا لِأَحَدِهِمَا جَنَّتَيْنِ مِنْ أَعْنَٰبٍ وَحَفَفْنَٰهُمَا بِنَخْلٍ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمَا زَرْعًا
Beide Gärten brachten ihren Ernteertrag hervor und ließen es in nichts davon fehlen. Und Wir ließen dazwischen einen Fluß hervorströmen.
Each of the gardens gave its fruit and withheld naught thereof. And We caused a river to gush forth therein.
Each of the two gardens produced its fruit and did not fall short thereof in anything. And We caused to gush forth within them a river.
كِلْتَا ٱلْجَنَّتَيْنِ ءَاتَتْ أُكُلَهَا وَلَمْ تَظْلِم مِّنْهُ شَيْـًٔا وَفَجَّرْنَا خِلَٰلَهُمَا نَهَرًا
Er hatte (daraus reichlich) Früchte. Da sagte er zu seinem Gefährten, während er mit ihm einen Wortwechsel führte: "Ich habe mehr Besitz als du und auch eine mächtigere Schar."
And he had fruit. And he said unto his comrade, when he spake with him: I am more than thee in wealth, and stronger in respect of men.
And he had fruit, so he said to his companion while he was conversing with him, "I am greater than you in wealth and mightier in [numbers of] men."
وَكَانَ لَهُۥ ثَمَرٌ فَقَالَ لِصَٰحِبِهِۦ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَنَا۠ أَكْثَرُ مِنكَ مَالًا وَأَعَزُّ نَفَرًا
Und er betrat seinen Garten, während er sich selbst Unrecht tat. Er sagte: "Ich glaube nicht, daß dieser (Garten) jemals zugrunde gehen wird,
And he went into his garden, while he (thus) wronged himself. He said: I think not that all this will ever perish.
And he entered his garden while he was unjust to himself. He said, "I do not think that this will perish - ever.
وَدَخَلَ جَنَّتَهُۥ وَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ قَالَ مَآ أَظُنُّ أَن تَبِيدَ هَٰذِهِۦٓ أَبَدًا
und ich glaube nicht, daß die Stunde (des Gerichts) sich einstellen wird. Und wenn ich zu meinem Herrn zurückgebracht werde, werde ich ganz gewiß etwas Besseres als ihn als Rückzugsort finden."
I think not that the Hour will ever come, and if indeed I am brought back unto my Lord I surely shall find better than this as a resort.
And I do not think the Hour will occur. And even if I should be brought back to my Lord, I will surely find better than this as a return."
وَمَآ أَظُنُّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ قَآئِمَةً وَلَئِن رُّدِدتُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى لَأَجِدَنَّ خَيْرًا مِّنْهَا مُنقَلَبًا
Sein Gefährte sagte zu ihm, während er sich mit ihm unterhielt: "Verleugnest du denn Denjenigen, Der dich aus Erde, hierauf aus einem Samentropfen erschaffen und hierauf dich zu einem Mann geformt hat?
His comrade, when he (thus) spake with him, exclaimed: Disbelievest thou in Him Who created thee of dust, then of a drop (of seed), and then fashioned thee a man ?
His companion said to him while he was conversing with him, "Have you disbelieved in He who created you from dust and then from a sperm - drop and then proportioned you [as] a man?
قَالَ لَهُۥ صَاحِبُهُۥ وَهُوَ يُحَاوِرُهُۥٓ أَكَفَرْتَ بِٱلَّذِى خَلَقَكَ مِن تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ سَوَّىٰكَ رَجُلًا
Aber, was mich betrifft: Er, Allah, ist mein Herr, und ich geselle meinem Herrn niemanden bei.
But He is Allah, my Lord, and I ascribe unto my Lord no partner.
But as for me, He is Allah, my Lord, and I do not associate with my Lord anyone.
لَّٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا
Würdest du doch, wenn du deinen Garten betrittst, sagen: ,(Es sei,) was Allah will; es gibt keine Kraft außer durch Allah'! Wenn du auch siehst, daß ich weniger Besitz und Kinder habe als du,
If only, when thou enteredst thy garden, thou hadst said: That which Allah willeth (will come to pass)! There is no strength save in Allah! Though thou seest me as less than thee in wealth and children,
And why did you, when you entered your garden, not say, 'What Allah willed [has occurred]; there is no power except in Allah '? Although you see me less than you in wealth and children,
وَلَوْلَآ إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ إِن تَرَنِ أَنَا۠ أَقَلَّ مِنكَ مَالًا وَوَلَدًا
so wird mein Herr mir vielleicht etwas Besseres als deinen Garten geben und über ihn aufeinanderfolgende Strafe vom Himmel senden, so daß er zu schlüpfrigem Erdboden wird,
Yet it may be that my Lord will give me better than thy garden, and will send on it a bolt from heaven, and some morning it will be a smooth hillside,
It may be that my Lord will give me [something] better than your garden and will send upon it a calamity from the sky, and it will become a smooth, dusty ground,
فَعَسَىٰ رَبِّىٓ أَن يُؤْتِيَنِ خَيْرًا مِّن جَنَّتِكَ وَيُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهَا حُسْبَانًا مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَتُصْبِحَ صَعِيدًا زَلَقًا
oder daß sein Wasser versickert sein wird, so daß du es nicht mehr wirst ausfindig machen können."
Or some morning the water thereof will be lost in the earth so that thou canst not make search for it.
Or its water will become sunken [into the earth], so you would never be able to seek it."
أَوْ يُصْبِحَ مَآؤُهَا غَوْرًا فَلَن تَسْتَطِيعَ لَهُۥ طَلَبًا
Seine Früchte wurden ringsum erfaßt. Da begann er, seine Handflächen umzudrehen wegen dessen, was er für ihn ausgegeben hatte, während er wüst in Trümmern lag, und zu sagen: "O hätte ich doch meinem Herrn niemanden beigesellt!"
And his fruit was beset (with destruction). Then began he to wring his hands for all that he had spent upon it, when (now) it was all ruined on its trellises, and to say: Would that I had ascribed no partner to my Lord!
And his fruits were encompassed [by ruin], so he began to turn his hands about [in dismay] over what he had spent on it, while it had collapsed upon its trellises, and said, "Oh, I wish I had not associated with my Lord anyone."
وَأُحِيطَ بِثَمَرِهِۦ فَأَصْبَحَ يُقَلِّبُ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنفَقَ فِيهَا وَهِىَ خَاوِيَةٌ عَلَىٰ عُرُوشِهَا وَيَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى لَمْ أُشْرِكْ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا
Und er hatte weder eine Schar, die ihm anstatt Allahs half, noch konnte er sich selbst helfen.
And he had no troop of men to help him as against Allah, nor could he save himself.
And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor could he defend himself.
وَلَمْ تَكُن لَّهُۥ فِئَةٌ يَنصُرُونَهُۥ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانَ مُنتَصِرًا
In dem Fall gehört (all) die Schutzherrschaft Allah, dem Wahren. Er ist der Beste im Belohnen, und Er verschafft den besten Ausgang.
In this case is protection only from Allah, the True, He is Best for reward, and best for consequence.
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth. He is best in reward and best in outcome.
هُنَالِكَ ٱلْوَلَٰيَةُ لِلَّهِ ٱلْحَقِّ هُوَ خَيْرٌ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ عُقْبًا
Und präge ihnen das Gleichnis vom diesseitigen Leben. (Es ist) wie Wasser, das Wir vom Himmel hinabkommen lassen, worauf sich damit das Gewächs der Erde vermischt. Dann wird es zu vertrocknetem Zeug, das die Winde verwehen. Und Allah hat ja zu allem völlig die Macht.
And coin for them the similitude of the life of the world as water which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingleth with it and then becometh dry twigs that the winds scatter. Allah is able to do all things.
And present to them the example of the life of this world, [its being] like rain which We send down from the sky, and the vegetation of the earth mingles with it and [then] it becomes dry remnants, scattered by the winds. And Allah is ever, over all things, Perfect in Ability.
وَٱضْرِبْ لَهُم مَّثَلَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا كَمَآءٍ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ فَٱخْتَلَطَ بِهِۦ نَبَاتُ ٱلْأَرْضِ فَأَصْبَحَ هَشِيمًا تَذْرُوهُ ٱلرِّيَٰحُ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا
Der Besitz und die Söhne sind der Schmuck des diesseitigen Lebens. Das Bleibende aber, die rechtschaffenen Werke -, sie sind bei deinem Herrn besser hinsichtlich der Belohnung und besser hinsichtlich der Hoffnung.
Wealth and children are an ornament of the life of the world. But the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better in respect of hope.
Wealth and children are [but] adornment of the worldly life. But the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for [one's] hope.
ٱلْمَالُ وَٱلْبَنُونَ زِينَةُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْبَٰقِيَٰتُ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتُ خَيْرٌ عِندَ رَبِّكَ ثَوَابًا وَخَيْرٌ أَمَلًا
Und (gedenke) des Tages, da Wir die Berge versetzen und du die Erde (kahl) hervortreten siehst und Wir sie versammeln, ohne jemanden von ihnen auszulassen,
And (bethink you of) the Day when we remove the hills and ye see the earth emerging, and We gather them together so as to leave not one of them behind.
And [warn of] the Day when We will remove the mountains and you will see the earth prominent, and We will gather them and not leave behind from them anyone.
وَيَوْمَ نُسَيِّرُ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَتَرَى ٱلْأَرْضَ بَارِزَةً وَحَشَرْنَٰهُمْ فَلَمْ نُغَادِرْ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا
und (da) sie deinem Herrn in Reihen vorgeführt werden: "Nun seid ihr zu Uns gekommen, so wie Wir euch das erste Mal erschaffen haben. Ihr aber habt behauptet, Wir würden für euch keine (letzte) Verabredung festlegen."
And they are set before thy Lord in ranks (and it is said unto them): Now verily have ye come unto Us as We created you at the first. But ye thought that We had set no tryst for you.
And they will be presented before your Lord in rows, [and He will say], "You have certainly come to Us just as We created you the first time. But you claimed that We would never make for you an appointment."
وَعُرِضُوا۟ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ صَفًّا لَّقَدْ جِئْتُمُونَا كَمَا خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍۭ بَلْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَلَّن نَّجْعَلَ لَكُم مَّوْعِدًا
Und das Buch wird hingelegt. Dann siehst du die Übeltäter besorgt wegen dessen, was darin steht. Sie sagen: "O wehe uns! Was ist mit diesem Buch? Es läßt nichts aus, weder klein noch groß, ohne es zu erfassen." Sie finden (alles), was sie taten, gegenwärtig, und dein Herr tut niemandem Unrecht.
And the Book is placed, and thou seest the guilty fearful of that which is therein, and they say: What kind of a Book is this that leaveth not a small thing nor a great thing but hath counted it! And they find all that they did confronting them, and thy Lord wrongeth no - one.
And the record [of deeds] will be placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
وَوُضِعَ ٱلْكِتَٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ مُشْفِقِينَ مِمَّا فِيهِ وَيَقُولُونَ يَٰوَيْلَتَنَا مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَا يُغَادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَلَا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّآ أَحْصَىٰهَا وَوَجَدُوا۟ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ حَاضِ
Und als Wir zu den Engeln sagten: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder." Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis; er gehörte zu den Ginn. So frevelte er gegen den Befehl seines Herrn. Wollt ihr euch denn ihn und seine Nachkommenschaft zu Schutzherren anstatt Meiner nehmen, wo sie euch doch feind sind? - Ein schlimmer Tausch für die Ungerechten!
And (remember) when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, and they fell prostrate, all save Iblis. He was of the jinn, so he rebelled against his Lord's command. Will ye choose him and his seed for your protecting friends instead of Me, when they are an enemy unto you ? Calamitous is the exchange for evil - doers.
And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was of the jinn and departed from the command of his Lord. Then will you take him and his descendants as allies other than Me while they are enemies to you? Wretched it is for the wrongdoers as an exchange.
وَإِذْ قُلْنَا لِلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةِ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِءَادَمَ فَسَجَدُوٓا۟ إِلَّآ إِبْلِيسَ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْجِنِّ فَفَسَقَ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَفَتَتَّخِذُونَهُۥ وَذُرِّيَّتَهُۥٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ مِن دُونِى وَهُمْ لَكُمْ ع
Ich habe sie weder bei der Erschaffung der Himmel und der Erde noch bei ihrer eigenen Erschaffung zu Zeugen genommen. Ich nehme Mir niemals die Irre führenden als Beistand.
I made them not to witness the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor their own creation; nor choose I misleaders for (My) helpers.
I did not make them witness to the creation of the heavens and the earth or to the creation of themselves, and I would not have taken the misguiders as assistants.
مَّآ أَشْهَدتُّهُمْ خَلْقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَا خَلْقَ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كُنتُ مُتَّخِذَ ٱلْمُضِلِّينَ عَضُدًا
Und an dem Tag, da Er sagen wird: "Ruft Meine Teilhaber, die ihr angegeben habt!", werden sie sie anrufen, aber sie werden ihnen nicht antworten. Und Wir werden zwischen ihnen einen Ort der Vernichtung einrichten'.
And (be mindful of) the Day when He will say: Call those partners of Mine whom ye pretended. Then they will cry unto them, but they will not hear their prayer, and We shall set a gulf of doom between them.
And [warn of] the Day when He will say, "Call 'My partners' whom you claimed," and they will invoke them, but they will not respond to them. And We will put between them [a valley of] destruction.
وَيَوْمَ يَقُولُ نَادُوا۟ شُرَكَآءِىَ ٱلَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ فَدَعَوْهُمْ فَلَمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّوْبِقًا
Und die Übeltäter werden das (Höllen)feuer sehen und überzeugt sein, daß sie hineinfallen, und kein Mittel finden, es abzuwenden.
And the guilty behold the Fire and know that they are about to fall therein, and they find no way of escape thence.
And the criminals will see the Fire and will be certain that they are to fall therein. And they will not find from it a way elsewhere.
وَرَءَا ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ ٱلنَّارَ فَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُم مُّوَاقِعُوهَا وَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ عَنْهَا مَصْرِفًا
Und Wir haben ja in diesem Qur'an den Menschen ein jedes Gleichnis verschiedenartig dargelegt; aber der Mensch ist von allen Wesen am streitsüchtigsten.
And verily We have displayed for mankind in this Qur'an all manner of similitudes, but man is more than anything contentious.
And We have certainly diversified in this Qur'an for the people from every [kind of] example; but man has ever been, most of anything, [prone to] dispute.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَا فِى هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانِ لِلنَّاسِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ وَكَانَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَكْثَرَ شَىْءٍ جَدَلًا
Und nichts anderes hielt die Menschen davon ab, zu glauben, als die Rechtleitung zu ihnen kam, und ihren Herrn um Vergebung zu bitten, außer (ihrer Forderung), daß an ihnen nach der Gesetzmäßigkeit der Früheren verfahren werde oder daß die Strafe vor ihren Augen über sie komme.
And naught hindereth mankind from believing when the guidance cometh unto them, and from asking forgiveness of their Lord unless (it be that they wish) that the judgment of the men of old should come upon them or (that) they should be confronted with the Doom.
And nothing has prevented the people from believing when guidance came to them and from asking forgiveness of their Lord except that there [must] befall them the [accustomed] precedent of the former peoples or that the punishment should come [directly] before them.
وَمَا مَنَعَ ٱلنَّاسَ أَن يُؤْمِنُوٓا۟ إِذْ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْهُدَىٰ وَيَسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابُ قُبُلًا
Wir senden die Gesandten nur als Verkünder froher Botschaft und als Überbringer von Warnungen. Aber diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, streiten mit dem Falschen, um damit die Wahrheit zu widerlegen. Und sie machen sich über Meine Zeichen und das, womit sie gewarnt wurden, lustig.
We send not the messengers save as bearers of good news and warners. Those who disbelieve contend with falsehood in order to refute the Truth thereby. And they take Our revelations and that wherewith they are threatened as a jest.
And We send not the messengers except as bringers of good tidings and warners. And those who disbelieve dispute by [using] falsehood to [attempt to] invalidate thereby the truth and have taken My verses, and that of which they are warned, in ridicule.
وَمَا نُرْسِلُ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَيُجَٰدِلُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ لِيُدْحِضُوا۟ بِهِ ٱلْحَقَّ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِى وَمَآ أُنذِرُوا۟ هُزُوًا
Wer ist denn ungerechter als jemand, der mit den Zeichen seines Herrn ermahnt wird und sich dann von ihnen abwendet und vergißt, was seine Hände vorausgeschickt haben. Gewiß, Wir haben auf ihre Herzen Hüllen gelegt, so daß sie ihn nicht verstehen, und in ihre Ohren Schwerhörigkeit; und wenn du sie zur Rechtleitung rufst, dann werden sie sich also niemals rechtleiten lassen.
And who doth greater wrong than he who hath been reminded of the revelations of his Lord, yet turneth away from them and forgetteth what his hands send forward (to the Judgment) ? Lo! on their hearts We have placed coverings so that they understand not, and in their ears a deafness. And though thou call them to the guidance, in that case they can never be led aright.
And who is more unjust than one who is reminded of the verses of his Lord but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have put forth? Indeed, We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if you invite them to guidance - they will never be guided, then - ever.
وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّن ذُكِّرَ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِۦ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا وَنَسِىَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ إِنَّا جَعَلْنَا عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَن يَفْقَهُوهُ وَفِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَقْرًا وَإِن تَدْعُهُمْ
Und dein Herr ist der Allvergebende, voll der Barmherzigkeit. Wenn Er sie für das belangen würde, was sie erworben haben, würde Er für sie die Strafe wahrlich beschleunigen. Aber sie haben eine Verabredung, vor der sie keine Zuflucht finden werden.
Thy Lord is the Forgiver, Full of Mercy. If He took them to task (now) for what they earn, He would hasten on the doom for them; but theirs is an appointed term from which they will find no escape.
And your Lord is the Forgiving, full of mercy. If He were to impose blame upon them for what they earned, He would have hastened for them the punishment. Rather, for them is an appointment from which they will never find an escape.
وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ذُو ٱلرَّحْمَةِ لَوْ يُؤَاخِذُهُم بِمَا كَسَبُوا۟ لَعَجَّلَ لَهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ بَل لَّهُم مَّوْعِدٌ لَّن يَجِدُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَوْئِلًا
Und diese Städte da vernichteten Wir, als sie Unrecht taten. Und Wir haben für ihre Vernichtung eine Verabredung festgelegt.
And (all) those townships! We destroyed them when they did wrong, and We appointed a fixed time for their destruction.
And those cities - We destroyed them when they wronged, and We made for their destruction an appointed time.
وَتِلْكَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا۟ وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِم مَّوْعِدًا
Und als Musa zu seinem Burschen sagte: "Ich lasse nicht ab, bis ich die Stelle erreicht habe, an der die Meere zusammenkommen, und sollte ich lange Zeit weiter gehen."
And when Moses said unto his servant: I will not give up until I reach the point where the two rivers meet, though I march on for ages.
And [mention] when Moses said to his servant, "I will not cease [traveling] until I reach the junction of the two seas or continue for a long period."
وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِفَتَىٰهُ لَآ أَبْرَحُ حَتَّىٰٓ أَبْلُغَ مَجْمَعَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ أَوْ أَمْضِىَ حُقُبًا
Als sie die Stelle erreicht hatten, an der sie zusammenkommen, vergaßen sie ihren Fisch, so nahm er seinen Weg im Meer, (auf und davon) schwimmend.
And when they reached the point where the two met, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the waters, being free.
But when they reached the junction between them, they forgot their fish, and it took its course into the sea, slipping away.
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَجْمَعَ بَيْنِهِمَا نَسِيَا حُوتَهُمَا فَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ سَرَبًا
Als sie vorbeigegangen waren, sagte er zu seinem Burschen: "Bringe uns unser Mittagessen. Wir haben ja durch diese unsere Reise (viel) Mühsal erlitten."
And when they had gone further, he said unto his servant: Bring us our breakfast. Verily we have found fatigue in this our journey.
So when they had passed beyond it, [Moses] said to his boy, "Bring us our morning meal. We have certainly suffered in this, our journey, [much] fatigue."
فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَا قَالَ لِفَتَىٰهُ ءَاتِنَا غَدَآءَنَا لَقَدْ لَقِينَا مِن سَفَرِنَا هَٰذَا نَصَبًا
Er sagte: "Siehst du! Als wir beim Felsen Rast gemacht haben, gewiß, da habe ich den Fisch vergessen. Und es ließ mich ihn nur der Satan vergessen, ihn (dir) zu erwähnen. Und er nahm seinen Weg im Meer auf wunderliche Weise."
He said: Didst thou see, when we took refuge on the rock, and I forgot the fish - and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it - it took its way into the waters by a marvel.
He said, "Did you see when we retired to the rock? Indeed, I forgot [there] the fish. And none made me forget it except Satan - that I should mention it. And it took its course into the sea amazingly".
قَالَ أَرَءَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَآ إِلَى ٱلصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّى نَسِيتُ ٱلْحُوتَ وَمَآ أَنسَىٰنِيهُ إِلَّا ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُۥ وَٱتَّخَذَ سَبِيلَهُۥ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ عَجَبًا
Er sagte: "Das ist es, was wir suchten." Da kehrten sie beide zurück, indem sie ihren eigenen Spuren folgten.
He said: This is that which we have been seeking. So they retraced their steps again.
[Moses] said, "That is what we were seeking." So they returned, following their footprints.
قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا
Sie trafen einen von Unseren Dienern, dem Wir Barmherzigkeit von Uns aus hatten zukommen lassen und den Wir Wissen von Uns her gelehrt hatten.
Then found they one of Our slaves, unto whom We had given mercy from Us, and had taught him knowledge from Our presence.
And they found a servant from among Our servants to whom we had given mercy from us and had taught him from Us a [certain] knowledge.
فَوَجَدَا عَبْدًا مِّنْ عِبَادِنَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُ رَحْمَةً مِّنْ عِندِنَا وَعَلَّمْنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّا عِلْمًا
Musa sagte zu ihm: "Darf ich dir folgen, auf daß du mich von dem lehrst, was dir an Besonnenheit gelehrt worden ist?"
Moses said unto him: May I follow thee, to the end that thou mayst teach me right conduct of that which thou hast been taught ?
Moses said to him, "May I follow you on [the condition] that you teach me from what you have been taught of sound judgement?"
قَالَ لَهُۥ مُوسَىٰ هَلْ أَتَّبِعُكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُعَلِّمَنِ مِمَّا عُلِّمْتَ رُشْدًا
Er sagte: "Du wirst (es) bei mir nicht aushalten können.
He said: Lo! thou canst not bear with me.
He said, "Indeed, with me you will never be able to have patience.
قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا
Wie willst du das auch aushalten, wovon du keine umfassende Kenntnis hast?"
How canst thou bear with that whereof thou canst not compass any knowledge ?
And how can you have patience for what you do not encompass in knowledge?"
وَكَيْفَ تَصْبِرُ عَلَىٰ مَا لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِۦ خُبْرًا
Er sagte: "Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, standhaft finden, und ich werde mich keinem Befehl von dir widersetzen."
He said: Allah willing, thou shalt find me patient and I shall not in aught gainsay thee.
[Moses] said, "You will find me, if Allah wills, patient, and I will not disobey you in [any] order."
قَالَ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ صَابِرًا وَلَآ أَعْصِى لَكَ أَمْرًا
Er sagte: "Wenn du mir denn folg(en will)st, dann frage mich nach nichts, bis ich selbst es dir gegenüber zuerst erwähne."
He said: Well, if thou go with me, ask me not concerning aught till I myself make mention of it unto thee.
He said, "Then if you follow me, do not ask me about anything until I make to you about it mention."
قَالَ فَإِنِ ٱتَّبَعْتَنِى فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِى عَن شَىْءٍ حَتَّىٰٓ أُحْدِثَ لَكَ مِنْهُ ذِكْرًا
Da zogen sie beide los, bis, als sie ein Schiff bestiegen, er darin ein Loch machte. Er (Musa) sagte: "Hast du ein Loch darin gemacht, um seine Besatzung ertrinken zu lassen? Du hast da ja eine grauenhafte Sache begangen."
So they twain set out till, when they were in the ship, he made a hole therein. (Moses) said: Hast thou made a hole therein to drown the folk thereof ? Thou verily hast done a dreadful thing.
So they set out, until when they had embarked on the ship, al - Khidh r tore it open. [Moses] said, "Have you torn it open to drown its people? You have certainly done a grave thing."
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا رَكِبَا فِى ٱلسَّفِينَةِ خَرَقَهَا قَالَ أَخَرَقْتَهَا لِتُغْرِقَ أَهْلَهَا لَقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا إِمْرًا
Er sagte: "Habe ich nicht gesagt, daß du (es) bei mir nicht wirst aushalten können?"
He said: Did I not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with me ?
[Al - Khidh r] said, "Did I not say that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُلْ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا
Er (Musa) sagte: "Belange mich nicht dafür, daß ich vergessen habe, und bedrücke mich in meiner Angelegenheit nicht mit einer Erschwernis."
(Moses) said: Be not wroth with me that I forgot, and be not hard upon me for my fault.
[Moses] said, "Do not blame me for what I forgot and do not cover me in my matter with difficulty."
قَالَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِى بِمَا نَسِيتُ وَلَا تُرْهِقْنِى مِنْ أَمْرِى عُسْرًا
Da zogen sie beide weiter, bis, als sie dann einen Jungen trafen, er ihn tötete. Er (Musa) sagte: "Hast du eine unschuldige Seele getötet (und zwar) nicht (als Wiedervergeltung) für eine (andere) Seele? Du hast da ja eine verwerfliche Sache begangen."
So they twain journeyed on till, when they met a lad, he slew him. (Moses) said: What! Hast thou slain an innocent soul who hath slain no man ? Verily thou hast done a horrid thing.
So they set out, until when they met a boy, al - Khidh r killed him. [Moses] said, "Have you killed a pure soul for other than [having killed] a soul? You have certainly done a deplorable thing."
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا لَقِيَا غُلَٰمًا فَقَتَلَهُۥ قَالَ أَقَتَلْتَ نَفْسًا زَكِيَّةًۢ بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ لَّقَدْ جِئْتَ شَيْـًٔا نُّكْرًا
Er sagte: "Habe ich dir nicht gesagt, daß du (es) bei mir nicht wirst aushalten können?"
He said: Did I not tell thee that thou couldst not bear with me ?
[Al - Khidh r] said, "Did I not tell you that with me you would never be able to have patience?"
قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكَ إِنَّكَ لَن تَسْتَطِيعَ مَعِىَ صَبْرًا
Er (Musa) sagte: "Wenn ich dich danach (noch einmal) nach irgend etwas frage, dann lasse mich dich nicht mehr begleiten. Dich trifft in Bezug auf mich kein Tadel.1"
(Moses) said: If I ask thee after this concerning aught, keep not company with me. Thou hast received an excuse from me.
[Moses] said, "If I should ask you about anything after this, then do not keep me as a companion. You have obtained from me an excuse."
قَالَ إِن سَأَلْتُكَ عَن شَىْءٍۭ بَعْدَهَا فَلَا تُصَٰحِبْنِى قَدْ بَلَغْتَ مِن لَّدُنِّى عُذْرًا
Da zogen sie beide weiter, bis, als sie dann zu den Bewohnern einer Stadt kamen, sie ihre Bewohner um etwas zu essen baten; diese aber weigerten sich, sie gastlich aufzunehmen. Da fanden sie in ihr eine Mauer, die einzustürzen drohte, und so richtete er sie auf. Er (Musa) sagte: "Wenn du wolltest, hättest du dafür wahrlich Lohn nehmen können."
So they twain journeyed on till, when they came unto the folk of a certain township, they asked its folk for food, but they refused to make them guests. And they found therein a wall upon the point of falling into ruin, and he repaired it. (Moses) said: If thou hadst wished, thou couldst have taken payment for it.
So they set out, until when they came to the people of a town, they asked its people for food, but they refused to offer them hospitality. And they found therein a wall about to collapse, so al - Khidh r restored it. [Moses] said, "If you wished, you could have taken for it a payment."
فَٱنطَلَقَا حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَآ أَتَيَآ أَهْلَ قَرْيَةٍ ٱسْتَطْعَمَآ أَهْلَهَا فَأَبَوْا۟ أَن يُضَيِّفُوهُمَا فَوَجَدَا فِيهَا جِدَارًا يُرِيدُ أَن يَنقَضَّ فَأَقَامَهُۥ قَالَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَتَّخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَ
Er sagte: "Das ist die Trennung zwischen mir und dir. Ich werde dir jetzt die Deutung dessen kundtun, was du nicht aushalten konntest.
He said: This is the parting between thee and me! I will announce unto thee the interpretation of that thou couldst not bear with patience.
[Al - Khidh r] said, "This is parting between me and you. I will inform you of the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience.
قَالَ هَٰذَا فِرَاقُ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنِكَ سَأُنَبِّئُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِ مَا لَمْ تَسْتَطِع عَّلَيْهِ صَبْرًا
Was das Schiff angeht, so gehörte es Armen, die auf dem Meer arbeiteten. Ich wollte es schadhaft machen, denn ein König war hinter ihnen her, der jedes Schiff mit Gewalt wegnahm.
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working on the river, and I wished to mar it, for there was a king behind them who is taking every ship by force.
As for the ship, it belonged to poor people working at sea. So I intended to cause defect in it as there was after them a king who seized every [good] ship by force.
أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَٰكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا
Was den Jungen angeht, so waren seine Eltern gläubige (Menschen). Da fürchteten wir, daß er sie durch (seine) Auflehnung und durch (seinen) Unglauben bedrücken würde.
And as for the lad, his parents were believers and we feared lest he should oppress them by rebellion and disbelief.
And as for the boy, his parents were believers, and we feared that he would overburden them by transgression and disbelief.
وَأَمَّا ٱلْغُلَٰمُ فَكَانَ أَبَوَاهُ مُؤْمِنَيْنِ فَخَشِينَآ أَن يُرْهِقَهُمَا طُغْيَٰنًا وَكُفْرًا
So wollten wir, daß ihr Herr ihnen zum Tausch einen gebe, - besser als er an Lauterkeit und näher kommend an Güte.
And we intended that their Lord should change him for them for one better in purity and nearer to mercy.
So we intended that their Lord should substitute for them one better than him in purity and nearer to mercy.
فَأَرَدْنَآ أَن يُبْدِلَهُمَا رَبُّهُمَا خَيْرًا مِّنْهُ زَكَوٰةً وَأَقْرَبَ رُحْمًا
Was aber die Mauer angeht, so gehörte sie zwei Waisenjungen in der Stadt, und unter ihr befand sich ein für sie bestimmter Schatz. Ihr Vater war rechtschaffen, und da wollte dein Herr, daß sie (erst) ihre Vollreife erlangen und (dann) ihren Schatz hervorholen - aus Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn. Ich tat es ja nicht aus eigenem Ermessen. Das ist die Deutung dessen, was du nicht aushalten konntest."
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure belonging to them, and their father had been righteous, and thy Lord intended that they should come to their full strength and should bring forth their treasure as a mercy from their Lord; and I did it not upon my own command. Such is the interpretation of that wherewith thou couldst not bear.
And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the city, and there was beneath it a treasure for them, and their father had been righteous. So your Lord intended that they reach maturity and extract their treasure, as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of that about which you could not have patience."
وَأَمَّا ٱلْجِدَارُ فَكَانَ لِغُلَٰمَيْنِ يَتِيمَيْنِ فِى ٱلْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ تَحْتَهُۥ كَنزٌ لَّهُمَا وَكَانَ أَبُوهُمَا صَٰلِحًا فَأَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَن يَبْلُغَآ أَشُدَّهُمَا وَيَسْتَخْرِجَا كَنزَهُمَا رَحْمَةً
Und sie fragen dich nach Du 'l-Qarnain. Sag: Ich werde euch über ihn eine Geschichte verlesen.
They will ask thee of Dhu'l - Qarneyn. Say: I shall recite unto you a remembrance of him.
And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about Dhul - Qarnayn. Say, "I will recite to you about him a report."
وَيَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَن ذِى ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ قُلْ سَأَتْلُوا۟ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْهُ ذِكْرًا
Wir verliehen ihm auf der Erde eine feste Stellung und eröffneten ihm zu allem einen Weg.
Lo! We made him strong in the land and gave him unto every thing a road.
Indeed We established him upon the earth, and We gave him to everything a way.
إِنَّا مَكَّنَّا لَهُۥ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُ مِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ سَبَبًا
Da verfolgte er einen Weg,
And he followed a road
So he followed a way
فَأَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا
bis, als er den Ort des Sonnenuntergangs erreichte, er fand, daß sie in einer schlammigen Quelle unterging, und er fand bei ihr ein Volk. Wir sagten: "O Du '1Qarnain, entweder strafst du (sie), oder du behandelst sie mit Güte."
Till, when he reached the setting - place of the sun, he found it setting in a muddy spring, and found a people thereabout. We said: O Dhu'l - Qarneyn! Either punish or show them kindness.
Until, when he reached the setting of the sun, he found it [as if] setting in a spring of dark mud, and he found near it a people. Allah said, "O Dhul - Qarnayn, either you punish [them] or else adopt among them [a way of] goodness."
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَغْرِبَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَغْرُبُ فِى عَيْنٍ حَمِئَةٍ وَوَجَدَ عِندَهَا قَوْمًا قُلْنَا يَٰذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ إِمَّآ أَن تُعَذِّبَ وَإِمَّآ أَن تَتَّخِذَ فِيهِمْ حُسْنًا
Er sagte: "Was nun jemanden angeht, der Unrecht tut, so werden wir ihn strafen; hierauf wird er zu seinem Herrn zurückgebracht, und Er straft ihn dann mit entsetzlicher Strafe.
He said: As for him who doeth wrong, we shall punish him, and then he will be brought back unto his Lord, Who will punish him with awful punishment!
He said, "As for one who wrongs, we will punish him. Then he will be returned to his Lord, and He will punish him with a terrible punishment.
قَالَ أَمَّا مَن ظَلَمَ فَسَوْفَ نُعَذِّبُهُۥ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ فَيُعَذِّبُهُۥ عَذَابًا نُّكْرًا
Was aber jemanden angeht, der glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt, für den wird es als Lohn das Beste geben, und Wir werden ihm von unserem Befehl etwas sagen, was Erleichterung bringt."
But as for him who believeth and doeth right, good will be his reward, and We shall speak unto him a mild command.
But as for one who believes and does righteousness, he will have a reward of Paradise, and we will speak to him from our command with ease."
وَأَمَّا مَنْ ءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَلَهُۥ جَزَآءً ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ وَسَنَقُولُ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا يُسْرًا
Hierauf verfolgte er einen Weg,
Then he followed a road
Then he followed a way
ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا
bis, als er den Ort des Sonnenaufgangs erreichte, er fand, daß sie über einem Volk aufgeht, denen Wir keine Deckung vor ihr gegeben hatten.
Till, when he reached the rising - place of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had appointed no shelter therefrom.
Until, when he came to the rising of the sun, he found it rising on a people for whom We had not made against it any shield.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًا
So war es. Und Wir haben ja umfassende Kenntnis von dem, was ihn betrifft.
So (it was). And We knew all concerning him.
Thus. And We had encompassed [all] that he had in knowledge.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَقَدْ أَحَطْنَا بِمَا لَدَيْهِ خُبْرًا
Hierauf verfolgte er einen Weg,
Then he followed a road
Then he followed a way
ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَ سَبَبًا
bis, als er den Ort zwischen den beiden Bergen erreichte, er diesseits von ihnen ein Volk fand, das beinahe kein Wort verstand.
Till, when he came between the two mountains, he found upon their hither side a folk that scarce could understand a saying.
Until, when he reached [a pass] between two mountains, he found beside them a people who could hardly understand [his] speech.
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَيْنَ ٱلسَّدَّيْنِ وَجَدَ مِن دُونِهِمَا قَوْمًا لَّا يَكَادُونَ يَفْقَهُونَ قَوْلًا
Sie sagten: "O Du '1-Qarnain, Ya'gug und Ma'gug stiften Unheil auf der Erde. Sollen wir dir eine Gebühr dafür aussetzen, daß du zwischen uns und ihnen eine Sperrmauer errichtest?"
They said: O Dhu'l - Qarneyn! Lo! Gog and Magog are spoiling the land. So may we pay thee tribute on condition that thou set a barrier between us and them ?
They said, "O Dhul - Qarnayn, indeed Gog and Magog are [great] corrupters in the land. So may we assign for you an expenditure that you might make between us and them a barrier?"
قَالُوا۟ يَٰذَا ٱلْقَرْنَيْنِ إِنَّ يَأْجُوجَ وَمَأْجُوجَ مُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَهَلْ نَجْعَلُ لَكَ خَرْجًا عَلَىٰٓ أَن تَجْعَلَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهُمْ سَدًّا
Er sagte: "Was mir mein Herr an fester Stellung verliehen hat, ist besser (als eure Gebühr). Doch helft mir mit (eurer Arbeitskraft, damit ich zwischen euch und ihnen einen aufgeschütteten Wall errichte.
He said: That wherein my Lord hath established me is better (than your tribute). Do but help me with strength (of men), I will set between you and them a bank.
He said, "That in which my Lord has established me is better [than what you offer], but assist me with strength; I will make between you and them a dam.
قَالَ مَا مَكَّنِّى فِيهِ رَبِّى خَيْرٌ فَأَعِينُونِى بِقُوَّةٍ أَجْعَلْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ رَدْمًا
Bringt mir die Eisenstücke." Als er nun zwischen den beiden Berghängen gleich hoch (aufgeschüttet) hatte, sagte er: "Blast (jetzt)." Als er es zum Glühen gebracht hatte, sagte er: "Bringt mir, damit ich (es) darüber gieße, geschmolzenes Kupfer."
Give me pieces of iron - till, when he had levelled up (the gap) between the cliffs, he said: Blow! - till, when he had made it a fire, he said: Bring me molten copper to pour thereon.
Bring me sheets of iron" - until, when he had leveled [them] between the two mountain walls, he said, "Blow [with bellows]," until when he had made it [like] fire, he said, "Bring me, that I may pour over it molten copper."
ءَاتُونِى زُبَرَ ٱلْحَدِيدِ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا سَاوَىٰ بَيْنَ ٱلصَّدَفَيْنِ قَالَ ٱنفُخُوا۟ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَعَلَهُۥ نَارًا قَالَ ءَاتُونِىٓ أُفْرِغْ عَلَيْهِ قِطْرًا
So konnten sie ihn weder überwinden, noch konnten sie ihn durchbrechen.
And (Gog and Magog) were not able to surmount, nor could they pierce (it).
So Gog and Magog were unable to pass over it, nor were they able [to effect] in it any penetration.
فَمَا ٱسْطَٰعُوٓا۟ أَن يَظْهَرُوهُ وَمَا ٱسْتَطَٰعُوا۟ لَهُۥ نَقْبًا
Er sagte: "Das ist eine Barmherzigkeit von meinem Herrn. Wenn dann das Versprechen meines Herrn eintrifft, läßt Er ihn in sich zusammensinken; und das Versprechen meines Herrn ist wahr."
He said: This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord cometh to pass, He will lay it low, for the promise of my Lord is true.
[Dhul - Qarnayn] said, "This is a mercy from my Lord; but when the promise of my Lord comes, He will make it level, and ever is the promise of my Lord true."
قَالَ هَٰذَا رَحْمَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّى فَإِذَا جَآءَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى جَعَلَهُۥ دَكَّآءَ وَكَانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّى حَقًّا
Wir lassen die einen von ihnen an jenem Tag wie Wogen unter die anderen geraten, und es wird ins Horn geblasen. Dann versammeln Wir sie vollständig.
And on that day we shall let some of them surge against others, and the Trumpet will be blown. Then We shall gather them together in one gathering.
And We will leave them that day surging over each other, and [then] the Horn will be blown, and We will assemble them in [one] assembly.
وَتَرَكْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَمُوجُ فِى بَعْضٍ وَنُفِخَ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَجَمَعْنَٰهُمْ جَمْعًا
Und Wir führen die Hölle den Ungläubigen an jenem Tag in aller Deutlichkeit vor,
On that day we shall present hell to the disbelievers, plain to view,
And We will present Hell that Day to the Disbelievers, on display -
وَعَرَضْنَا جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَرْضًا
(ihnen,) deren Augen vor Meiner Mahnung (wie) unter einer Decke lagen und die (auch) nicht hören konnten.
Those whose eyes were hoodwinked from My reminder, and who could not bear to hear.
Those whose eyes had been within a cover [removed] from My remembrance, and they were not able to hear.
ٱلَّذِينَ كَانَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِى غِطَآءٍ عَن ذِكْرِى وَكَانُوا۟ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَمْعًا
Meinen denn diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, daß sie sich Meine Diener anstatt Meiner zu Schutzherren nehmen (können)? Gewiß, Wir haben die Hölle den Ungläubigen zur gastlichen Aufnahme bereitet.
Do the disbelievers reckon that they can choose My bondmen as protecting friends beside Me ? Lo! We have prepared hell as a welcome for the disbelievers.
Then do those who disbelieve think that they can take My servants instead of Me as allies? Indeed, We have prepared Hell for the disbelievers as a lodging.
أَفَحَسِبَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَن يَتَّخِذُوا۟ عِبَادِى مِن دُونِىٓ أَوْلِيَآءَ إِنَّآ أَعْتَدْنَا جَهَنَّمَ لِلْكَٰفِرِينَ نُزُلًا
Sag: Sollen Wir euch Kunde geben von denjenigen, die an ihren Werken am meisten verlieren,
Say: Shall We inform you who will be the greatest losers by their works ?
Say, [O Muhammad], "Shall we [believers] inform you of the greatest losers as to [their] deeds?
قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُم بِٱلْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَٰلًا
deren Bemühen im diesseitigen Leben fehlgeht, während sie meinen, daß sie gut handeln würden?
Those whose effort goeth astray in the life of the world, and yet they reckon that they do good work.
[They are] those whose effort is lost in worldly life, while they think that they are doing well in work."
ٱلَّذِينَ ضَلَّ سَعْيُهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَهُمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُمْ يُحْسِنُونَ صُنْعًا
Das sind diejenigen, die die Zeichen ihres Herrn und die Begegnung mit Ihm leugnen. So werden ihre Werke hinfällig, und so werden Wir ihnen am Tag der Auferstehung kein Gewicht beimessen.
Those are they who disbelieve in the revelations of their Lord and in the meeting with Him. Therefor their works are vain, and on the Day of Resurrection We assign no weight to them.
Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in [their] meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless; and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَآئِهِۦ فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَٰلُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَزْنًا
Das ist ihr Lohn - die Hölle - dafür, daß sie ungläubig waren und sich über Meine Zeichen und Meine Gesandten lustig machten.
That is their reward: hell, because they disbelieved, and made a jest of Our revelations and Our messengers.
That is their recompense - Hell - for what they denied and [because] they took My signs and My messengers in ridicule.
ذَٰلِكَ جَزَآؤُهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ بِمَا كَفَرُوا۟ وَٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ ءَايَٰتِى وَرُسُلِى هُزُوًا
Gewiß, für diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, wird es die Gärten des Paradieses zur gastlichen Aufnahme geben,
Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs are the Gardens of Paradise for welcome,
Indeed, those who have believed and done righteous deeds - they will have the Gardens of Paradise as a lodging,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَنَّٰتُ ٱلْفِرْدَوْسِ نُزُلًا
ewig darin zu bleiben, und sie werden nicht begehren, davon wegzugehen'.
Wherein they will abide, with no desire to be removed from thence.
Wherein they abide eternally. They will not desire from it any transfer.
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حِوَلًا
Sag: Wenn das Meer Tinte für die Worte meines Herrn wäre, würde das Meer wahrlich zu Ende gehen, bevor die Worte meines Herrn zu Ende gingen, auch wenn Wir als Nachschub noch einmal seinesgleichen hinzubrächten.
Say: Though the sea became ink for the Words of my Lord, verily the sea would be used up before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even though We brought the like thereof to help.
Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
قُل لَّوْ كَانَ ٱلْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِّكَلِمَٰتِ رَبِّى لَنَفِدَ ٱلْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَن تَنفَدَ كَلِمَٰتُ رَبِّى وَلَوْ جِئْنَا بِمِثْلِهِۦ مَدَدًا
Sag: Gewiß, ich bin ja nur ein menschliches Wesen gleich euch; mir wird (als Offenbarung) eingegeben, daß euer Gott ein Einziger Gott ist. Wer nun auf die Begegnung mit seinem Herrn hofft, der soll rechtschaffen handeln und beim Dienst an seinem Herrn (Ihm) niemanden beigesellen.
Say: I am only a mortal like you. My Lord inspireth in me that your God is only One God. And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto his Lord.
Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord - let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."
قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدً
