Chapter 37, 182 verses
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
By those who range themselves in ranks,
وَٱلصَّٰٓفَّٰتِ صَفًّا
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
Then those who drive away with reproof,
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
فَٱلزَّٰجِرَٰتِ زَجْرًا
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!
Then those who recite, being mindful,
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
فَٱلتَّٰلِيَٰتِ ذِكْرًا
Euer Gott ist wahrlich ein Einziger,
Most surely your Allah is One:
Verily, verily, your Allah is one! -
إِنَّ إِلَٰهَكُمْ لَوَٰحِدٌ
der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, und der Herr der Osten.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the easts.
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
رَّبُّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَرَبُّ ٱلْمَشَٰرِقِ
Wir haben den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern';
Surely We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment, the stars,
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, -
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا ٱلسَّمَآءَ ٱلدُّنْيَا بِزِينَةٍ ٱلْكَوَاكِبِ
und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
And (there is) a safeguard against every rebellious Shaitan.
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
وَحِفْظًا مِّن كُلِّ شَيْطَٰنٍ مَّارِدٍ
So können sie der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are thrown at from every side,
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
لَّا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى ٱلْمَلَإِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ وَيُقْذَفُونَ مِن كُلِّ جَانِبٍ
damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es immerwährende Strafe geben -,
Being driven off, and for them is a perpetual chastisement,
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
دُحُورًا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ وَاصِبٌ
außer jemandem, der rasch etwas aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
Except him who snatches off but once, then there follows him a brightly shining flame.
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ ٱلْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُۥ شِهَابٌ ثَاقِبٌ
Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
Then ask them whether they are stronger in creation or those (others) whom We have created. Surely We created them of firm clay.
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَهُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَم مَّنْ خَلَقْنَآ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُم مِّن طِينٍ لَّازِبٍۭ
Aber nein! Du wunderst dich, während sie spotten.
Nay! you wonder while they mock,
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
بَلْ عَجِبْتَ وَيَسْخَرُونَ
Und wenn sie ermahnt werden, gedenken sie nicht.
And when they are reminded, they mind not,
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed, -
وَإِذَا ذُكِّرُوا۟ لَا يَذْكُرُونَ
Und wenn sie ein Zeichen sehen, spotten sie darüber.
And when they see a sign they incite one another to scoff,
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
وَإِذَا رَأَوْا۟ ءَايَةً يَسْتَسْخِرُونَ
Und sie sagen: "Das ist nur deutliche Zauberei.
And they say: This is nothing but clear magic:
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
وَقَالُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحْرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
What! when we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then certainly be raised,
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
أَءِذَا مِتْنَا وَكُنَّا تُرَابًا وَعِظَٰمًا أَءِنَّا لَمَبْعُوثُونَ
Und auch unsere Vorväter?"
Or our fathers of yore?
"And also our fathers of old?"
أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ
Sag: Ja, und ihr werdet euch demütig verhalten.
Say: Aye! and you shall be abject.
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
قُلْ نَعَمْ وَأَنتُمْ دَٰخِرُونَ
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein, da schauen sie sogleich hin.
So it shall only be a single cry, when lo! they shall see.
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَنظُرُونَ
Und sie werden sagen: "O wehe uns! Das ist der Tag des Gerichts!"
And they shall say: O woe to us! this is the day of requital.
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰوَيْلَنَا هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلدِّينِ
- "Das ist der Tag der Entscheidung, den ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet.
This is the day of the judgment which you called a lie.
(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
هَٰذَا يَوْمُ ٱلْفَصْلِ ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
- (Zu den Engeln des Gerichts wird gesagt:) Versammelt (nun) diejenigen, die Unrecht getan haben, ihre Gattinnen und das, dem sie dienten
Gather together those who were unjust and their associates, and what they used to worship
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong - doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped -
ٱحْشُرُوا۟ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ وَأَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْبُدُونَ
anstatt Allahs. Dann leitet sie zum Weg des Höllenbrandes
Besides Allah, then lead them to the way to hell.
"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَٱهْدُوهُمْ إِلَىٰ صِرَٰطِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
und stellt sie auf, denn sie werden befragt werden."
And stop them, for they shall be questioned:
"But stop them, for they must be asked:
وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُم مَّسْـُٔولُونَ
- (Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt:) "Was ist mit euch, daß ihr einander nicht unterstützt?"
What is the matter with you that you do not help each other?
"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
مَا لَكُمْ لَا تَنَاصَرُونَ
Nein! Vielmehr ergeben sie sich heute.
Nay! on that day they shall be submissive.
Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);
بَلْ هُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ
Und sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
And some of them shall advance towards others, questioning each other.
And they will turn to one another, and question one another.
وَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Sie sagen: "Ihr kamt doch zu uns (stets) von rechts her'."
They shall say: Surely you used to come to us from the right side.
They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"
قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّكُمْ كُنتُمْ تَأْتُونَنَا عَنِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Sie sagen: "Aber nein! Ihr wart ja nicht gläubig.
They shall say: Nay, you (yourselves) were not believers;
They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
قَالُوا۟ بَل لَّمْ تَكُونُوا۟ مُؤْمِنِينَ
Wir aber hatten keine Macht über euch, sondern vielmehr wart ihr Leute, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten.
And we had no authority over you, but you were an inordinate people;
"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!
وَمَا كَانَ لَنَا عَلَيْكُم مِّن سُلْطَٰنٍۭ بَلْ كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا طَٰغِينَ
So ist das Wort unseres Herrn gegen uns unvermeidlich fällig geworden. Wir werden bestimmt (die Strafe) kosten.
So the sentence of our Lord has come to pass against us: (now) we shall surely taste;
"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).
فَحَقَّ عَلَيْنَا قَوْلُ رَبِّنَآ إِنَّا لَذَآئِقُونَ
Und so haben wir euch in Verirrung fallen lassen, denn wir waren ja selbst in Verirrung gefallen."
So we led you astray, for we ourselves were erring.
"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."
فَأَغْوَيْنَٰكُمْ إِنَّا كُنَّا غَٰوِينَ
Gewiß denn, an jenem Tag werden sie an der(selben) Strafe teilhaben.
So they shall on that day be sharers in the chastisement one with another.
Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.
فَإِنَّهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Gewiß, so verfahren Wir mit den Übeltätern,
Surely thus do We deal with the guilty.
Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
denn sie pflegten, wenn zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah", sich hochmütig zu verhalten,
Surely they used to behave proudly when it was said to them: There is no god but Allah;
For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوٓا۟ إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ
und sagten: "Sollen wir denn wahrlich unsere Götter verlassen wegen eines besessenen Dichters?"
And to say: What! shall we indeed give up our gods for the sake of a mad poet?
And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
وَيَقُولُونَ أَئِنَّا لَتَارِكُوٓا۟ ءَالِهَتِنَا لِشَاعِرٍ مَّجْنُونٍۭ
Nein! Vielmehr ist er mit der Wahrheit gekommen und hat die Gesandten bestätigt.
Nay: he has come with the truth and verified the apostles.

Ihr werdet bestimmt die schmerzhafte Strafe kosten,
Most surely you will taste the painful punishment.
Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty; -
إِنَّكُمْ لَذَآئِقُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْأَلِيمِ
und euch wird nur das vergolten, was ihr zu tun pflegtet,
And you shall not be rewarded except (for) what you did.
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought; -

They said: Build for him a furnace, then cast him into the burning fire.
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
قَالُوا۟ ٱبْنُوا۟ لَهُۥ بُنْيَٰنًا فَأَلْقُوهُ فِى ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
And they desired a war against him, but We brought them low.
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
فَأَرَادُوا۟ بِهِۦ كَيْدًا فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمُ ٱلْأَسْفَلِينَ
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
And he said: Surely I fly to my lord; He will guide me.
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
وَقَالَ إِنِّى ذَاهِبٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّى سَيَهْدِينِ
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
My Lord! grant me of the doers of good deeds.
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
رَبِّ هَبْ لِى مِنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
So We gave him the good news of a boy, possessing forbearance.
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
فَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِغُلَٰمٍ حَلِيمٍ
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."
And when he attained to working with him, he said: O my son! surely I have seen in a dream that I should sacrifice you; consider then what you see. He said: O my father! do what you are commanded; if Allah please, you will find me of the patient ones.
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ مَعَهُ ٱلسَّعْىَ قَالَ يَٰبُنَىَّ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰ فِى ٱلْمَنَامِ أَنِّىٓ أَذْبَحُكَ فَٱنظُرْ مَاذَا تَرَىٰ قَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ ٱفْعَلْ مَا تُؤْمَرُ سَتَجِدُنِىٓ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلصَّٰبِ
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
So when they both submitted and he threw him down upon his forehead,
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
فَلَمَّآ أَسْلَمَا وَتَلَّهُۥ لِلْجَبِينِ
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
And We called out to him saying: O Ibrahim!
We called out to him "O Abraham!
وَنَٰدَيْنَٰهُ أَن يَٰٓإِبْرَٰهِيمُ
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
You have indeed shown the truth of the vision; surely thus do We reward the doers of good:
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
قَدْ صَدَّقْتَ ٱلرُّءْيَآ إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
Most surely this is a manifest trial.
For this was obviously a trial -
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ ٱلْبَلَٰٓؤُا۟ ٱلْمُبِينُ
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
And We ransomed him with a Feat sacrifice.
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
وَفَدَيْنَٰهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
And We perpetuated (praise) to him among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
Peace be on Ibrahim.
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Und Wir verkündeten ihm Ishaq als einen Propheten von den Rechtschaffenen.
And We gave him the good news of Ishaq, a prophet among the good ones.
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
وَبَشَّرْنَٰهُ بِإِسْحَٰقَ نَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
Und Wir segneten ihn und Ishaq. Unter ihrer Nachkommenschaft gibt es manche, die Gutes tun, und manche, die sich selbst offenkundig Unrecht zufügen.
And We showered Our blessings on him and on Ishaq; and of their offspring are the doers of good, and (also) those who are clearly unjust to their own souls.
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
وَبَٰرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَىٰٓ إِسْحَٰقَ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا مُحْسِنٌ وَظَالِمٌ لِّنَفْسِهِۦ مُبِينٌ
Und Wir erwiesen bereits Musa und Harun eine Wohltat
And certainly We conferred a favor on Musa and Haroun.
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
وَلَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
und erretteten sie beide und ihr Volk aus der großen Trübsal.
And We delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress.
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُمَا وَقَوْمَهُمَا مِنَ ٱلْكَرْبِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Und Wir halfen ihnen, da waren sie es, die Sieger wurden.
And We helped them, so they were the vanquishers.
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
وَنَصَرْنَٰهُمْ فَكَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبِينَ
Und Wir gaben ihnen beiden die verdeutlichende Schrift
And We gave them both the Book that made (things) clear.
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلْكِتَٰبَ ٱلْمُسْتَبِينَ
und leiteten sie den geraden Weg.
And We guided them both on the right way.
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
وَهَدَيْنَٰهُمَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ ٱلْمُسْتَقِيمَ
Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
And We perpetuated (praise) to them among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِمَا فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
Peace be on Musa and Haroun.
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰ مُوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Sie beide gehören ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Surely they were both of Our believing servants.
For they were two of our believing Servants.
إِنَّهُمَا مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Auch Ilyas gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
And Ilyas was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
وَإِنَّ إِلْيَاسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
When he said to his people: Do you not guard (against evil)?
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦٓ أَلَا تَتَّقُونَ
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
What! do you call upon Ba'l and forsake the best of the creators,
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
أَتَدْعُونَ بَعْلًا وَتَذَرُونَ أَحْسَنَ ٱلْخَٰلِقِينَ
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore?
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
ٱللَّهَ رَبَّكُمْ وَرَبَّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
But they called him a liar, therefore they shall most surely be brought up.
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
But not the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
And We perpetuated to him (praise) among the later generations.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرِينَ
Friede sei auf Ilyas!
Peace be on Ilyas.
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلْ يَاسِينَ
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
Even thus do We reward the doers of good.
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Surely he was one of Our believing servants.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
إِنَّهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Auch Lut gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
And Lut was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
وَإِنَّ لُوطًا لَّمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Als Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen allesamt erretteten,
When We delivered him and his followers, all - -
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
إِذْ نَجَّيْنَٰهُ وَأَهْلَهُۥٓ أَجْمَعِينَ
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
Except an old woman (who was) amongst those who tarried.
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
إِلَّا عَجُوزًا فِى ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ
Hierauf vertilgten Wir die anderen.
Then We destroyed the others.
Then We destroyed the rest.
ثُمَّ دَمَّرْنَا ٱلْءَاخَرِينَ
Ihr kommt ja an ihnen vorbei, bei Tagesanbruch
And most surely you pass by them in the morning,
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
وَإِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِم مُّصْبِحِينَ
und bei Nacht. Begreift ihr denn nicht?'
And at night; do you not then understand?
And by night: will ye not understand?
وَبِٱلَّيْلِ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
Auch Yunus gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
And Yunus was most surely of the apostles.
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Als er zum vollbeladenen Schiff davonlief.
When he ran away to a ship completely laden,
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلْفُلْكِ ٱلْمَشْحُونِ
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.
So he shared (with them), but was of those who are cast off.
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُدْحَضِينَ
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
So the fish swallowed him while he did that for which he blamed himself
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
فَٱلْتَقَمَهُ ٱلْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ
Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
But had it not been that he was of those who glorify (Us),
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
فَلَوْلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُسَبِّحِينَ
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
He would certainly have tarried in its belly to the day when they are raised.
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
لَلَبِثَ فِى بَطْنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
Then We cast him on to the vacant surface of the earth while he was sick.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
فَنَبَذْنَٰهُ بِٱلْعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٌ
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
And We caused to grow up for him a gourdplant.
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
وَأَنۢبَتْنَا عَلَيْهِ شَجَرَةً مِّن يَقْطِينٍ
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
And We sent him to a hundred thousand, rather they exceeded.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
وَأَرْسَلْنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِا۟ئَةِ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
And they believed, so We gave them provision till a time.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
فَـَٔامَنُوا۟ فَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
Then ask them whether your Lord has daughters and they have sons.
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
فَٱسْتَفْتِهِمْ أَلِرَبِّكَ ٱلْبَنَاتُ وَلَهُمُ ٱلْبَنُونَ
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Or did We create the angels females while they were witnesses?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
أَمْ خَلَقْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ إِنَٰثًا وَهُمْ شَٰهِدُونَ
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
Now surely it is of their own lie that they say:
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
أَلَآ إِنَّهُم مِّنْ إِفْكِهِمْ لَيَقُولُونَ
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
Allah has begotten; and most surely they are liars.
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
وَلَدَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَكَٰذِبُونَ
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
Has He chosen daughters in preference to sons?
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
أَصْطَفَى ٱلْبَنَاتِ عَلَى ٱلْبَنِينَ
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
What is the matter with you, how is it that you judge?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
مَا لَكُمْ كَيْفَ تَحْكُمُونَ
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Will you not then mind?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
Or have you a clear authority?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
أَمْ لَكُمْ سُلْطَٰنٌ مُّبِينٌ
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Then bring your book, if you are truthful.
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
فَأْتُوا۟ بِكِتَٰبِكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
And they assert a relationship between Him and the jinn; and certainly the jinn do know that they shall surely be brought up;
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
وَجَعَلُوا۟ بَيْنَهُۥ وَبَيْنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ نَسَبًا وَلَقَدْ عَلِمَتِ ٱلْجِنَّةُ إِنَّهُمْ لَمُحْضَرُونَ
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
But not so the servants of Allah, the purified ones.
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
So surely you and what you worship,
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
فَإِنَّكُمْ وَمَا تَعْبُدُونَ
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Not against Him can you cause (any) to fall into trial,
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَٰتِنِينَ
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
Save him who will go to hell.
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
إِلَّا مَنْ هُوَ صَالِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
And there is none of us but has an assigned place,
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
وَمَا مِنَّآ إِلَّا لَهُۥ مَقَامٌ مَّعْلُومٌ
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلصَّآفُّونَ
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
وَإِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْمُسَبِّحُونَ
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
And surely they used to say:
And there were those who said,
وَإِن كَانُوا۟ لَيَقُولُونَ
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
لَوْ أَنَّ عِندَنَا ذِكْرًا مِّنَ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
لَكُنَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُخْلَصِينَ
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
فَكَفَرُوا۟ بِهِۦ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
وَلَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ كَلِمَتُنَا لِعِبَادِنَا ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
That they would certainly be assisted,
إِنَّهُمْ لَهُمُ ٱلْمَنصُورُونَ
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
وَإِنَّ جُندَنَا لَهُمُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
وَأَبْصِرْهُمْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
أَفَبِعَذَابِنَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِسَاحَتِهِمْ فَسَآءَ صَبَاحُ ٱلْمُنذَرِينَ
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And turn away from them till a time
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
وَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
وَأَبْصِرْ فَسَوْفَ يُبْصِرُونَ
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And peace be on the apostles.
And Peace on the messengers!
وَسَلَٰمٌ عَلَى ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
