Or did We create the angels female while they were witnesses?
Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
Verily, it is of their falsehood that they (Quraish pagans) say:
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
"Allah has begotten [offspring - the angels being the daughters of Allah)?" And, verily, they are liars!
" Allah has begotten," and indeed, they are liars.
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
Has He (then) chosen daughters rather than sons?
Has He chosen daughters over sons?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
What is the matter with you? How do you decide?
What is [wrong] with you? How do you make judgement?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Will you not then remember?
Then will you not be reminded?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
Or is there for you a plain authority?
Or do you have a clear authority?
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Then bring your Book if you are truthful!
Then produce your scripture, if you should be truthful.
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
And they have invented a kinship between Him and the jinn, but the jinn know well that they have indeed to appear (before Him) (i.e. they will be called to account).
And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Glorified be Allah! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
Except the slaves of Allah, whom He chooses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islamic Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allah).
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
So, verily you (pagans) and those whom you worship (idols)
So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Cannot lead astray [turn away from Him (Allah) anyone of the believers],
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
Except those who are predestined to burn in Hell!
Except he who is to [enter and] burn in the Hellfire.
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
And there is not one of us (angels) but has his known place (or position);
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And verily, we (angels), we stand in rows (for the prayers as you Muslims stand in rows for your prayers);
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And verily, we (angels), indeed are those who glorify (Allah's Praises i.e. perform prayers).
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
And indeed they (Arab pagans) used to say:
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
"If we had a reminder as had the men of old (before the coming of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم as a Messenger of Allah),
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
"We would have indeed been the chosen slaves of Allah (true believers of Islamic Monotheism)!"
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
But (now that the Qur'an has come) they disbelieve therein (i.e. in the Qur'an and in Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم , and all that he brought, - the Divine Revelation), so they will come to know!
But they disbelieved in it, so they are going to know.
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
And, verily, Our Word has gone forth of old for Our slaves, the Messengers,
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
That they verily would be made triumphant,
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
And that Our hosts! they verily would be the victors.
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
So turn away (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) from them for a while,
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
And watch them and they shall see (the punishment)!
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
Do they seek to hasten on Our Torment?
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
Then, when it descends in their courtyard (i.e. near to them), evil will be the morning for those who had been warned!
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
So turn (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) away from them for a while,
And leave them for a time.
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
And watch and they shall see (the torment)!
And see, for they are going to see.
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
Glorified be your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto Him!
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And peace be on the Messengers!
And peace upon the messengers.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
And all the praises and thanks be to Allah, Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
