حمٓ
Bei dem deutlichen Buch!
I swear by the Book that makes manifest (the truth).
By the Book that makes things clear; -
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Wir haben es wahrlich in einer gesegneten Nacht herabgesandt - Wir haben ja (die Menschen) immer wieder gewarnt -,
Surely We revealed it on a blessed night surely We are ever warning - -
We sent it down during a Blessed Night: for We (ever) wish to warn (against Evil).
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
in der jede weise Angelegenheit einzeln entschieden wird
Therein every wise affair is made distinct,
In the (Night) is made distinct every affair of wisdom,
فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ
als eine Angelegenheit von Uns aus - Wir haben ja immer wieder (Warner) gesandt -,
A command from Us; surely We are the senders (of apostles),
By command, from Our Presence. For We (ever) send (revelations),
أَمْرًا مِّنْ عِندِنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُرْسِلِينَ
als eine Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn - gewiß, Er ist der Allhörende und Allwissende -,
A mercy from your Lord, surely He is the Hearing, the Knowing,
As Mercy from thy Lord: for He hears and knows (all things);
رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr überzeugt seid.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, if you would be sure.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all between them, if ye (but) have an assured faith.
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Er macht lebendig und läßt sterben, (Er), euer Herr und der Herr eurer Vorväter.
There is no god but He; He gives life and causes death, your Lord and the Lord of your fathers of yore.
There is no god but He: It is He Who gives life and gives death, - The Lord and Cherisher to you and your earliest ancestors.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Aber nein! Sie sind im Zweifel und treiben ihr Spiel.
Nay, they are in doubt, they sport.
Yet they play about in doubt.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
So erwarte den Tag, an dem der Himmel deutlichen Rauch hervorbringt,
Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
Then watch thou for the Day that the sky will bring forth a kind of smoke (or mist) plainly visible,
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
der die Menschen überdecken wird. Das ist eine schmerzhafte Strafe.
That shall overtake men; this is a painful punishment.
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Unser Herr, nimm die Strafe von uns hinweg; wir sind (jetzt) ja gläubig.
Our Lord! remove from us the punishment; surely we are believers.
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Wie soll ihnen (jetzt) die Selbstbesinnung nützen, wo bereits ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen kam,
How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them, -
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
sie sich hierauf aber von ihm abkehrten und sagten: "Einer, dem vorgesagt wird, ein Besessener"?
Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ
Wir werden die Strafe ein wenig hinwegnehmen. Ihr werdet sicher zurückkehren.
Surely We will remove the punishment a little, (but) you will surely return (to evil).
We shall indeed remove the Penalty for a while, (but) truly ye will revert (to your ways).
إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
Am Tag, da Wir mit der größten Gewalt zupacken werden, gewiß, da werden Wir Vergeltung üben.
On the day when We will seize (them) with the most violent seizing; surely We will inflict retribution.
One day We shall seize you with a mighty onslaught: We will indeed (then) exact Retribution!
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
Und Wir setzten bereits vor ihnen das Volk Fir'auns der Versuchung aus. Zu ihnen kam ein edler Gesandter:
And certainly We tried before them the people of Firon, and there came to them a noble apostle,
We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
"Übergebt mir Allahs Diener. Gewiß, ich bin für euch ein vertrauenswürdiger Gesandter.
Saying: Deliver to me the servants of Allah, surely I am a faithful apostle to you,
Saying: "Restore to me the Servants of Allah: I am to you an messenger worthy of all trust;
أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Und seid Allah gegenüber nicht überheblich. Gewiß, ich bringe euch eine deutliche Ermächtigung.
And that do not exalt yourselves against Allah, surely I will bring to you a clear authority:
"And be not arrogant as against Allah: for I come to you with authority manifest.
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
Und gewiß, ich nehme Zuflucht bei meinem Herrn und eurem Herrn davor, daß ihr mich steinigt.
And surely I take refuge with my Lord and your Lord that you should stone me to death:
"For me, I have sought safety with my Lord and your Lord, against your injuring me.
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
Und wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt, dann haltet euch (wenigstens) fern von mir."
And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
Da rief er zu seinem Herrn: "Diese sind ein Volk von Übeltätern."
Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ
- "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort; ihr werdet ja verfolgt werden.
So go forth with My servants by night; surely you will be pursued:
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
Und laß das Meer in Ruhe zurück'. Gewiß, sie sind eine Heerschar, die ertränkt werden soll."
And leave the sea intervening; surely they are a host that shall be drowned.
"And leave the sea as a furrow (divided): for they are a host (destined) to be drowned."
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ
Wie viele Gärten und Quellen ließen sie zurück
How many of the gardens and fountains have they left!
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
und Getreidefelder und treffliche Stätte
And cornfields and noble places!
And corn - fields and noble buildings,
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
und ein angenehmes Leben, in dem sie vergnügt waren!
And goodly things wherein they rejoiced;
And wealth (and conveniences of life), wherein they had taken such delight!
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
So (war es). Und Wir gaben es anderen Leuten zum Erbe.
Thus (it was), and We gave them as a heritage to another people.
Thus (was their end)! And We made other people inherit (those things)!
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
Weder Himmel noch Erde weinte über sie, und ihnen wurde kein Aufschub gewährt.
So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them, nor were they respited.
And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them: nor were they given a respite (again).
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
Und Wir erretteten bereits die Kinder lsra'ils von der schmachvollen Qual,
And certainly We delivered the children of Israel from the abasing chastisement,
We did deliver aforetime the Children of Israel from humiliating Punishment,
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
von Fir'aun. Er war überheblich und einer der Maßlosen.
From Firon; surely he was haughty, (and) one of the extravagant.
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Und Wir erwählten sie ja mit Wissen vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern
And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
und ließen ihnen von den Zeichen solche zukommen, die eine deutliche Prüfung enthielten.
And We gave them of the communications wherein was clear blessing.
And granted them Signs in which there was a manifest trial
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ
Diese sagen fürwahr:
Most surely these do say:
As to these (Quraish), they say forsooth:
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
"Es gibt nur unseren ersten Tod. Und wir werden nicht auferstehen.
There is naught but our first death and we shall not be raised again.
"There is nothing beyond our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
Bringt doch unsere Väter zurück, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid."
So bring our fathers (back), if you are truthful.
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Sind sie etwa besser oder das Volk Tubba's und diejenigen vor ihnen? Wir vernichteten sie; sie waren ja Übeltäter.
Are they better or the people of Tubba and those before them? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
What! Are they better than the people of Tubba and those who were before them? We destroyed them because they were guilty of sin.
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
Und Wir haben die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist, nicht zum Spiel erschaffen.
And We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them in sport.
We created not the heavens, the earth, and all between them, merely in (idle) sport:
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ
Wir haben sie nur in Wahrheit erschaffen. Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
We did not create them both but with the truth, but most of them do not know.
We created them not except for just ends: but most of them do not understand.
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Gewiß, der Tag der Entscheidung ist ihrer aller festgesetzte Zeit,
Surely the day of separation is their appointed term, of all of them
Verily the Day of sorting out is the time appointed for all of them, -
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
der Tag, an dem kein Schutzherr seinem Schützling etwas nützen kann und ihnen keine Hilfe zuteil wird,
The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped,
The Day when no protector can avail his client in aught, and no help can they receive,
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ
außer demjenigen, dessen Allah sich erbarmt. Er ist ja der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.
Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful.
Except such as receive Allah's Mercy: for He is Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.

Gewiß, der Zaqqum-Baum
Surely the tree of the Zaqqum,

ist die Speise des Sünders;

Will be the food of the Sinful, -
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
wie siedendes Öl kocht er in den Bäuchen,
Like dregs of oil; it shall boil in (their) bellies,

كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
wie das heiße Wasser kocht.

"Then pour over his head the Penalty of Boiling Water,

Koste (doch); du bist ja der Mächtige und Edle!"
Taste; you forsooth are the mighty, the honorable:
"Taste thou (this)! Truly wast thou mighty, full of honour!
