Meinen die Menschen, daß sie in Ruhe gelassen werden, (nur) weil sie sagen: "Wir glauben", ohne daß sie geprüft werden?
Do men imagine that they will be left (at ease) because they say, We believe, and will not be tested with affliction ?
Do men think that they will be left alone on saying, "We believe", and that they will not be tested?
Wir haben bereits diejenigen vor ihnen geprüft. Allah wird ganz gewiß diejenigen kennen, die die Wahrheit sprechen, und Er wird ganz gewiß die Lügner kennen.
Lo! We tested those who were before you. Thus Allah knoweth those who are sincere, and knoweth those who feign.
We did test those before them, and Allah will certainly know those who are true from those who are false.
Oder meinen diejenigen, die böse Taten begehen, daß sie Uns entkommen (können)? Wie böse ist, was sie urteilen!
Or do those who do ill - deeds imagine that they can outstrip Us ? Evil (for them) is that which they decide.
Do those who practise evil think that they will get the better of Us? Evil is their judgment!
Wer die Begegnung mit Allah erwartet-, so wird Allahs Frist sicher kommen. Und Er ist der Allhörende und Allwissende.
Whoso looketh forward to the meeting with Allah (let him know that) Allah's reckoning is surely nigh, and He is the Hearer, the Knower.
For those whose hopes are in the meeting with Allah (in the Hereafter, let them strive); for the term (appointed) by Allah is surely coming and He hears and knows (all things).
Und wer sich abmüht, der müht sich nur zu seinem eigenen Vorteil ab, denn Allah ist der Weltenbewohner fürwahr unbedürftig.
And whosoever striveth, striveth only for himself, for lo! Allah is altogether Independent of (His) creatures.
And if any strive (with might and main), they do so for their own souls: for Allah is free of all needs from all creation.
Denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, werden Wir ganz gewiß ihre bösen Taten tilgen und ihnen ganz gewiß das Beste vergelten von dem, was sie taten.
And as for those who believe and do good works, We shall remit from them their evil deeds and shall repay them the best that they did.
Those who believe and work righteous deeds, - from them shall We blot out all evil (that may be) in them, and We shall reward them according to the best of their deeds.
Und Wir haben dem Menschen anbefohlen, seine Eltern mit Güte zu behandeln. Wenn sie sich aber darum bemühen, daß Du Mir das beigesellst, wovon du kein Wissen hast, dann gehorche ihnen nicht. Zu Mir wird eure Rückkehr sein, da werde Ich euch kundtun, was ihr zu tun pflegtet.
We have enjoined on man kindness to parents; but if they strive to make thee join with Me that of which thou hast no knowledge, then obey them not. Unto Me is your return and I shall tell you what ye used to do.
We have enjoined on man kindness to parents: but if they (either of them) strive (to force) thee to join with Me (in worship) anything of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not. Ye have (all) to return to me, and I will tell you (the truth) of all that ye did.
Diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, lassen Wir in die Reihen der Rechtschaffenen eingehen.
And as for those who believe and do good works, We verily shall make them enter in among the righteous.
And those who believe and work righteous deeds, - them shall We admit to the company of the Righteous.
Und unter den Menschen gibt es manchen, der sagt: "Wir glauben an Allah." Wenn ihm aber um Allahs willen Leid zugefügt wird, setzt er die Anfechtung durch die Menschen der Strafe Allahs gleich. Wenn jedoch Hilfe von deinem Herrn kommt, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Wir sind ja mit euch gewesen." Weiß Allah denn nicht besser Bescheid über das, was'in den Brüsten der Weltenbewohner steckt?
Of mankind is he who saith: We believe in Allah, but, if he be made to suffer for the sake of Allah, he mistaketh the persecution of mankind for Allah's punishment; and then, if victory cometh from thy Lord, will say: Lo! we were with you (all the while). Is not Allah Best Aware of what is in the bosoms of (His) creatures ?
Then there are among men such as say, "We believe in Allah"; but when they suffer affliction in (the cause of) Allah, they treat men's oppression as if it were the Wrath of Allah! And if help comes (to thee) from thy Lord, they are sure to say, "We have (always) been with you!" Does not Allah know best all that is in the hearts of all creation?

And the Unbelievers say to those who believe: "Follow our path, and we will bear (the consequences) of your faults." Never in the least will they bear their faults: in fact they are liars!
Ganz gewiß werden sie ihre (eigenen) Lasten tragen, und auch (weitere) Lasten zu ihren (eigenen) Lasten hinzu. Und sie werden am Tag der Auferstehung ganz gewiß befragt werden nach dem, was sie zu ersinnen pflegten.
But they verily will bear their own loads and other loads beside their own, and they verily will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning that which they invented.
They will bear their own burdens, and (other) burdens along with their own, and on the Day of Judgments they will be called to account for their falsehoods.
Und Wir sandten bereits Nuh zu seinem Volk. Er verweilte unter ihnen tausend Jahre weniger fünfzig Jahre. Da ergriff sie die Überschwemmung, während sie Unrecht taten.
And verily we sent Noah (as Our messenger) unto his folk, and he continued with them for a thousand years save fifty years; and the flood engulfed them, for they were wrong - doers.

And Abraham! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Serve Allah, and keep your duty unto Him; that is better for you if ye did but know.
And (We also saved) Abraham: behold, he said to his people, "Serve Allah and fear Him: that will be best for you - If ye understand!
Ihr dient anstatt Allahs nur Götzen und schafft (dabei nur) ungeheuerliche Lüge. Gewiß, diejenigen, denen ihr anstatt Allahs dient, vermögen euch nicht zu versor gen. Sucht darum bei Allah die Versorgung und dient Ihm und dankt Ihm. Zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye only invent a lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back.
"For ye do worship idols besides Allah, and ye invent falsehood. The things that ye worship besides Allah have no power to give you sustenance: then seek ye sustenance from Allah, serve Him, and be grateful to Him: to Him will be your return.
Und wenn ihr (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt, so haben bereits vor euch (andere) Gemeinschaften (sie) für Lüge erklärt. Und dem Gesandten obliegt nur die deutliche Übermittlung (der Botschaft)."

Say: "Travel through the earth and see how Allah did originate creation; so will Allah produce a later creation: for Allah has power over all things.
Er straft, wen Er will, und Er erbarmt Sich, wessen Er will. Und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
He punisheth whom He will and showeth mercy unto whom He will, and unto Him ye will be turned.
"He punishes whom He pleases, and He grants Mercy to whom He pleases, and towards Him are ye turned.
Und ihr werdet euch (Ihm) weder auf der Erde noch im Himmel entziehen können, und ihr habt außer Allah weder Schutzherrn noch Helfer.
Ye cannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allah there is for you no friend or helper.
"Not on earth nor in heaven will ye be able (fleeing) to frustrate (his Plan), nor have ye, besides Allah, any protector or helper."
Diejenigen, die Allahs Zeichen und die Begegnung mit Ihm ableugnen, diese haben die Hoffnung auf Meine Barmherzigkeit aufgegeben, und für diese wird es schmerzhafte Strafe geben.
Those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in (their) Meeting with Him, such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is a painful doom.
Those who reject the Signs of Allah and the Meeting with Him (in the Hereafter), - it is they who shall despair of My Mercy: it is they who will (suffer) a most grievous Penalty.
Aber die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, daß sie sagten: "Tötet ihn oder verbrennt ihn." Da rettete Allah ihn aus dem Feuer. Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute, die glauben.

So naught was the answer of (Abraham's) people except that they said: "Slay him or burn him." But Allah did save him from the Fire. Verily in this are Signs for people who believe.
Und er sagte: "Ihr habt euch ja anstatt Allahs nur Götzen genommen aus Freundschaft zueinander im diesseitigen Leben. Aber dereinst, am Tag der Auferstehung, werdet ihr einander verleugnen und einander verfluchen. Euer Zufluchtsort ist das (Höllen)feuer, und ihr werdet keine Helfer haben."
He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead of Allah. The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers.
And he said: "For you, ye have taken (for worship) idols besides Allah, out of mutual love and regard between yourselves in this life; but on the Day of Judgment ye shall disown each other and curse each other: and your abode will be the Fire, and ye shall have none to help."
Da glaubte Lut ihm und sagte: "Ich werde zu meinem Herrn auswandern. Er ist ja der Allmächtige und Allweise."

Und Wir schenkten ihm Ishaq und Ya'qub und richteten unter seiner Nachkommenschaft das Prophetentum und die Schrift ein und gaben ihm seinen Lohn im Diesseits. Und im Jenseits gehört er fürwahr zu den Rechtschaffenen.

Laßt ihr euch denn wahrlich (in Begierde) mit den Männern ein, und schneidet den (natürlichen) Weg ab und begeht in euren Zusammenkünften das Verwerfliche?" Aber die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, daß sie sagten: "Bringe uns doch die Strafe Allahs her, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst."
For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings ? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if thou art a truthteller!
"Do ye indeed approach men, and cut off the highway? - and practise wickedness (even) in your councils?" But his people gave no answer but this: they said: "Bring us the Wrath of Allah if thou tellest the truth."

He said: "But there is Lut there." They said: "Well do we know who is there: we will certainly save him and his following, - except his wife: she is of those who lag behind!"
Und als nun Unsere Gesandten zu Lut kamen, geriet er ihretwegen in eine böse Lage und war durch ihre Anwesenheit beklommen. Sie sagten: "Fürchte dich nicht und sei nicht traurig, denn wir werden dich erretten, (dich) und deine Angehörigen, außer deiner Frau; sie gehört zu denjenigen, die zurückbleiben.
And when Our messengers came unto Lot, he was troubled upon their account, for he could not protect them; but they said: Fear not, nor grieve! Lo! we are to deliver thee and thy household, (all) save thy wife, who is of those who stay behind.
And when Our Messengers came to Lut, he was grieved on their account, and felt himself powerless (to protect) them: but they said: "Fear thou not, nor grieve: we are (here) to save thee and thy following, except thy wife: she is of those who lag behind.

To the Madyan (people) (We sent) their brother Shu'aib. Then he said: "O my people! serve Allah, and fear the Last Day: nor commit evil on the earth, with intent to do mischief."
Aber sie bezichtigten ihn der Lüge. Da ergriff sie das Zittern, und am Morgen lagen sie in ihrer Wohnstätte auf den Brüsten da.
But they denied him, and the dreadful earthquake took them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place.
But they rejected him: Then the mighty Blast seized them, and they lay prostrate in their homes by the morning.
Und (erwähne auch) die 'Ad und die Tamud. (Ihr Untergang) ist euch ja deutlich geworden an ihren Wohnorten. Der Satan schmückte ihnen ihre Taten aus und hielt sie so vom Weg ab, obwohl sie Einsicht besaßen.
And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way, though they were keen observers.
(Remember also) the 'Ad and the Thamud (people): clearly will appear to you from (the traces) of their buildings (their fate): the Evil One made their deeds alluring to them, and kept them back from the Path, though they were gifted with intelligence and skill.
Und (erwähne weiterhin) Qarun und Fir'aun und Haman. Musa kam ja zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen. Aber sie verhielten sich hochmütig auf der Erde; doch konnten sie (Uns) nicht zuvorkommen.
And Korah, Pharaoh and Haman! Moses came unto them with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), but they were boastful in the land. And they were not winners (in the race).
(Remember also) Qarun, Pharaoh, and Haman: there came to them Moses with Clear Signs, but they behaved with insolence on the earth; yet they could not overreach (Us).
Einen jeden ergriffen Wir für seine Sünde; so sandten Wir gegen einige von ihnen einen Sturm von Steinchen, andere ergriff der Schrei, mit anderen ließen Wir die Erde versinken, andere ließen Wir ertrinken. Und nimmer ist es Allah, der ihnen Unrecht getan hat, sondern sie selbst haben sich Unrecht zugefügt.
So We took each one in his sin; of them was he on whom We sent a hurricane, and of them was he who was overtaken by the (Awful) Cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves.
Each one of them We seized for his crime: of them, against some We sent a violent tornado (with showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): It was not Allah Who injured (or oppressed) them:" They injured (and oppressed) their own souls.
Das Gleichnis derjenigen, die sich anstatt Allahs Schutzherren nehmen, ist das der Spinne, die sich ein Haus genommen hat; das schwächste Haus ist fürwahr das Haus der Spinne, wenn sie (es) nur wüßten!
The likeness of those who choose other patrons than Allah is as the likeness of the spider when she taketh unto herself a house, and lo! the frailest of all houses is the spider's house, if they but knew.
The parable of those who take protectors other than Allah is that of the spider, who builds (to itself) a house; but truly the flimsiest of houses is the spider's house; - if they but knew.
Gewiß, Allah weiß all das, was sie anstatt Seiner anrufen. Und Er ist der Allmächtige und Allweise.
Lo! Allah knoweth what thing they invoke instead of Him. He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Verily Allah doth know of (every thing) whatever that they call upon besides Him: and He is Exalted (in power), Wise.
Diese Gleichnisse prägen Wir für die Menschen. Aber nur diejenigen verstehen sie, die Wissen besitzen.
As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.
And such are the Parables We set forth for mankind, but only those understand them who have knowledge.
Allah hat die Himmel und die Erde in Wahrheit erschaffen. Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen für die Gläubigen.
Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. Lo! therein is indeed a portent for believers.
Allah created the heavens and the earth in true (proportions): verily in that is a Sign for those who believe.
Verlies, was dir vom Buch (als Offenbarung) eingegeben wird, und verrichte das Gebet. Gewiß, das Gebet hält davon ab, das Schändliche und das Verwerfliche (zu tun). Und das Gedenken Allahs ist wahrlich größer. Und Allah weiß, was ihr macht.
Recite that which hath been inspired in thee of the Scripture, and establish worship. Lo! worship preserveth from lewdness and iniquity, but verily remembrance of Allah is more important. And Allah knoweth what ye do.
Recite what is sent of the Book by inspiration to thee, and establish regular Prayer: for Prayer restrains from shameful and unjust deeds; and remembrance of Allah is the greatest (thing in life) without doubt. And Allah knows the (deeds) that ye do.
Und streitet mit den Leuten der Schrift nur in bester Weise, außer denjenigen von ihnen, die Unrecht tun. Und sagt: "Wir glauben an das, was (als Offenbarung) zu uns herabgesandt worden ist und zu euch herabgesandt worden ist; unser Gott und euer Gott ist Einer, und wir sind Ihm ergeben'."
And argue not with the People of the Scripture unless it be in (a way) that is better, save with such of them as do wrong; and say: We believe in that which hath been revealed unto us and revealed unto you; our God and your God is One, and unto Him we surrender.
And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)."
Und so haben Wir das Buch zu dir hinabgesandt. Diejenigen, denen Wir die Schrift gaben, glauben daran. Und auch unter diesen da gibt es manche, die daran glauben. Nur die Ungläubigen verleugnen Unsere Zeichen.
In like manner We have revealed unto thee the Scripture, and those unto whom We gave the Scripture aforetime will believe therein; and of these (also) there are some who believe therein. And none deny Our revelations save the disbelievers.
And thus (it is) that We have sent down the Book to thee. So the People of the Book believe therein, as also do some of these (pagan Arabs): and none but Unbelievers reject our signs.
Und du hast vordem kein Buch verlesen und es auch nicht mit deiner rechten Hand niedergeschrieben. Sonst würden wahrlich diejenigen zweifeln, die (es) für falsch erklären.
And thou (O Muhammad) wast not a reader of any scripture before it, nor didst thou write it with thy right hand, for then might those have doubted, who follow falsehood.
And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted.
Nein! Vielmehr sind es klare Zeichen in den Brüsten derjenigen, denen das Wissen gegeben worden ist. Und nur die Ungerechten verleugnen Unsere Zeichen.
But it is clear revelations in the hearts of those who have been given knowledge, and none deny Our revelations save wrong - doers.
Nay, here are Signs self - evident in the hearts of those endowed with knowledge: and none but the unjust reject Our Signs.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn doch Zeichen von seinem Herrn auf ihn herabgesandt würden!" Sag: Über die Zeichen verfügt (allein) Allah . Und ich bin nur ein deutlicher Warner.
And they say: Why are not portents sent down upon him from his Lord ? Say: Portents are with Allah only, and I am but a plain warner.
Ye they say: "Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "The signs are indeed with Allah: and I am indeed a clear Warner."
Genügt es ihnen denn nicht, daß Wir das Buch auf dich hinabgesandt haben, das ihnen verlesen wird? Darin ist wahrlich eine Barmherzigkeit und eine Ermahnung für Leute, die glauben.
Is it not enough for them that We have sent down unto thee the Scripture which is read unto them ? Lo! herein verily is mercy, and a reminder for folk who believe.
And is it not enough for them that we have sent down to thee the Book which is rehearsed to them? Verily, in it is Mercy and a Reminder to those who believe.
Sag: Allah genügt zwischen mir und euch als Zeuge. Er weiß, was in den Himmeln und auf der Erde ist. Und diejenigen, die an das Falsche glauben und Allah verleugnen, das sind die Verlierer.
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah sufficeth for witness between me and you. He knoweth whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth. And those who believe in vanity and disbelieve in Allah, they it is who are the losers.
Say: "Enough is Allah for a witness between me and you: He knows what is in the heavens and on earth. And it is those who believe in vanities and reject Allah, that will perish (in the end).
Und sie wünschen von dir, die Strafe zu beschleunigen. Wenn es nicht eine festgesetzte Frist gäbe, wäre die Strafe wahrlich zu ihnen gekommen. Aber ganz gewiß wird sie plötzlich über sie kommen, ohne daß sie merken.
They bid thee hasten on the doom (of Allah). And if a term had not been appointed, the doom would assuredly have come unto them (ere now). And verily it will come upon them suddenly when they perceive not.
They ask thee to hasten on the Punishment (for them): had it not been for a term (of respite) appointed, the Punishment would certainly have come to them: and it will certainly reach them, - of a sudden, while they perceive not!
Sie wünschen von dir, die Strafe zu beschleunigen, doch wahrlich, die Hölle umfaßt die Ungläubigen,
They bid thee hasten on the doom, when lo! hell verily will encompass the disbelievers
They ask thee to hasten on the Punishment: but, of a surety, Hell will encompass the Rejecters of Faith! -
am Tag, da die Strafe sie von oben und von unterhalb ihrer Füße her überdeckt, und Er sagt': "Kostet, was ihr zu tun pflegtet."
On the day when the doom will overwhelm them from above them and from underneath their feet, and He will say: Taste what ye used to do!
On the Day that the Punishment shall cover them from above them and from below them, and (a Voice) shall say: "Taste ye (the fruits) of your deeds!"
O Meine Diener, die ihr glaubt, gewiß, Meine Erde ist weit. So dient Mir, ja, allein Mir.
O my bondmen who believe! Lo! My earth is spacious. Therefor serve Me only.
O My servants who believe! truly, spacious is My Earth: therefore serve ye Me - (and Me alone)!
Jede Seele wird den Tod kosten. Hierauf werdet ihr zu Uns zurückgebracht.
Every soul will taste of death. Then unto Us ye will be returned.
Every soul shall have a taste of death in the end to Us shall ye be brought back.
Denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, werden Wir im (Paradies)garten ganz gewiß Obergemächer zuweisen, durcheilt von Bächen; ewig darin zu bleiben. Wie trefflich ist der Lohn derjenigen, die (gut) handeln,
Those who believe and do good works, them verily We shall house in lofty dwellings of the Garden underneath which rivers flow. There they will dwell secure. How sweet the guerdon of the toilers,
But those who believe and work deeds of righteousness - to them shall We give a Home in Heaven, - lofty mansions beneath which flow rivers, - to dwell therein for aye; - an excellent reward for those who do (good)! -
die standhaft sind und sich auf ihren Herrn verlassen.
Who persevere, and put their trust in their Lord!
Those who persevere in patience, and put their trust, in their Lord and Cherisher.
Und wie viele Tiere tragen ihre (eigene) Versorgung nicht herbei! Allah versorgt sie und euch. Und Er ist der Allhörende und Allwissende.
And how many an animal there is that beareth not its own provision! Allah provideth for it and for you. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
How many are the creatures that carry not their own sustenance? It is Allah who feeds (both) them and you: for He hears and knows (all things).
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen und die Sonne und den Mond dienstbar gemacht hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Allah." Wie lassen sie sich also abwendig machen?
And if thou wert to ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, and constrained the sun and the moon (to their appointed work) ? they would say: Allah. How then are they turned away ?
If indeed thou ask them who has created the heavens and the earth and subjected the sun and the moon (to his Law), they will certainly reply, "Allah". How are they then deluded away (from the truth)?
Allah gewährt die Versorgung großzügig, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will, und bemißt ihm auch. Gewiß, Allah weiß über alles Bescheid.
Allah maketh the provision wide for whom He will of His bondmen, and straiteneth it for whom (He will). Lo! Allah is Aware of all things.
Allah enlarges the sustenance (which He gives) to whichever of His servants He pleases; and He (similarly) grants by (strict) measure, (as He pleases): for Allah has full knowledge of all things.
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt und dann damit die Erde nach ihrem Tod wieder lebendig macht, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Allah." Sag: (Alles) Lob gehört Allah! Aber nein! Die meisten von ihnen be greifen nicht.
And if thou wert to ask them: Who causeth water to come down from the sky, and therewith reviveth the earth after its death ? they verily would say: Allah. Say: Praise be to Allah! But most of them have no sense.
And if indeed thou ask them who it is that sends down rain from the sky, and gives life therewith to the earth after its death, they will certainly reply, "Allah!" Say, "Praise be to Allah!" But most of them understand not.
Dieses irdische Leben ist nur Zerstreuung und Spiel. Die jenseitige Wohnstätte aber ist wahrlich das eigentliche Leben, wenn sie (es) nur wüßten!
This life of the world is but a pastime and a game. Lo! the home of the Hereafter - that is Life, if they but knew.
What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter, - that is life indeed, if they but knew.
Wenn sie ein Schiff besteigen, rufen sie Allah an, (wobei sie) Ihm gegenüber aufrichtig in der Religion (sind). Wenn Er sie nun ans Land errettet, gesellen sie sogleich (Ihm wieder andere) bei,
And when they mount upon the ships they pray to Allah, making their faith pure for Him only, but when He bringeth them safe to land, behold! they ascribe partners (unto Him),
Now, if they embark on a boat, they call on Allah, making their devotion sincerely (and exclusively) to Him; but when He has delivered them safely to (dry) land, behold, they give a share (of their worship to others)! -
um undankbar zu sein für das, was Wir ihnen gegeben haben, und um zu genießen; sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
That they may disbelieve in that which We have given them, and that they may take their ease. But they will come to know.
Disdaining ungratefully Our gifts, and giving themselves up to (worldly) enjoyment! But soon will they know.
Sehen sie denn nicht, daß Wir einen sicheren geschützten Bezirk gemacht haben, während die Menschen in ihrer Umgebung fortgerissen werden? Wollen sie denn an das Falsche glauben und Allahs Gunst verleugnen?
Have they not seen that We have appointed a sanctuary immune (from violence), while mankind are ravaged all around them ? Do they then believe in falsehood and disbelieve in the bounty of Allah ?
Do they not then see that We have made a sanctuary secure, and that men are being snatched away from all around them? Then, do they believe in that which is vain, and reject the Grace of Allah?
Und wer ist ungerechter als jemand, der gegen Allah eine Lüge ersinnt oder die Wahrheit, nachdem sie zu ihm gekommen ist, für Lüge erklärt? Ist nicht in der Hölle ein Aufenthaltsort für die Ungläubigen?
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah, or denieth the truth when it cometh unto him ? Is not there a home in hell for disbelievers ?
And who does more wrong than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects the Truth when it reaches him? Is there not a home in Hell for those who reject Faith?
Diejenigen aber, die sich um Unsertwillen abmühen, werden Wir ganz gewiß Unsere Wege leiten. Und Allah ist wahrlich mit den Gutes Tuenden.
As for those who strive in Us, We surely guide them to Our paths, and lo! Allah is with the good.
And those who strive in Our (cause), - We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For verily Allah is with those who do right.
