O Dawud (David)! Verily! We have placed you as a successor on the earth; so judge you between men in truth (and justice) and follow not your desire - for it will mislead you from the Path of Allah. Verily, those who wander astray from the Path of Allah (shall) have a severe torment, because they forgot the Day of Reckoning.
Und Wir haben den Himmel und die Erde und das, was dazwischen ist, nicht umsonst erschaffen. Das ist die Meinung derjenigen, die ungläubig sind. Doch wehe denjenigen, die ungläubig sind, vor dem (Höllen)feuer!

فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ حُبَّ الْخَيْرِ عَن ذِكْرِ رَبِّي حَتَّىٰ تَوَارَتْ بِالْحِجَابِ

جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ الْأَبْوَابُ
Gardens of Eden, whereof the gates are opened for them,
'Adn (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), whose doors will be opened for them.
worin sie sich lehnen und worin sie nach vielen Früchten und nach Getränk rufen.
مُتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَاكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَشَرَابٍ
Wherein, reclining, they call for plenteous fruit and cool drink (that is) therein.
Therein they will recline; therein they will call for fruits in abundance and drinks;
Und bei ihnen sind gleichaltrige (weibliche Wesen), die ihre Blicke zurückhalten.
۞ وَعِندَهُمْ قَاصِرَاتُ الطَّرْفِ أَتْرَابٌ
And with them are those of modest gaze, companions.
And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf [chaste females (wives) restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands)], (and) of equal ages.
Das ist, was euch für den Tag der Abrechnung versprochen wird.
هَٰذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ
This it is that ye are promised for the Day of Reckoning.
This it is what you (Al-Muttaqun - the pious - see V.2:2) are promised for the Day of Reckoning!
Das ist fürwahr Unsere Versorgung; sie geht nicht zu Ende.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِن نَّفَادٍ
Lo! this in truth is Our provision, which will never waste away.
(It will be said to them)! Verily, this is Our Provision which will never finish.
Das ist (für die Gottesfürchtigen). Für diejenigen jedoch, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten, wird es wahrlich eine schlechte Heimstatt geben,
هَٰذَا ۚ وَإِنَّ لِلطَّاغِينَ لَشَرَّ مَآبٍ
This (is for the righteous). And lo! for the transgressors there with be an evil journey's end,
This is so! And for the Taghun (transgressors, the disobedient to Allah and His Messenger - disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, criminals) will be an evil final return (Fire).
die Hölle, der sie ausgesetzt sein werden - eine schlimme Lagerstatt!
جَهَنَّمَ يَصْلَوْنَهَا فَبِئْسَ الْمِهَادُ
Hell, where they will burn, an evil resting - place.
Hell! Where they will burn, and worst (indeed) is that place to rest!
Das ist - sie sollen es kosten - heißes Wasser und stinkender Eiter
هَٰذَا فَلْيَذُوقُوهُ حَمِيمٌ وَغَسَّاقٌ
Here is a boiling and an ice - cold draught, so let them taste it,
This is so! Then let them taste it - a boiling fluid and dirty wound discharges.
und anderes dergleichen in verschiedenen Arten.
وَآخَرُ مِن شَكْلِهِ أَزْوَاجٌ
And other (torment) of the kind in pairs (the two extremes)!
And other (torments) of similar kind - all together!
- "Da ist eine Schar, die sich mit euch hineinstürzt." - "Sie sind nicht willkommen, denn sie werden dem (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein."
هَٰذَا فَوْجٌ مُّقْتَحِمٌ مَّعَكُمْ ۖ لَا مَرْحَبًا بِهِمْ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ صَالُو النَّارِ
Here is an army rushing blindly with you. (Those who are already in the Fire say): No word of welcome for them. Lo! they will roast at the Fire.
This is a troop entering with you (in Hell), no welcome for them! Verily, they shall burn in the Fire!
Sie sagen: "Nein! Vielmehr seid ihr es, die ihr nicht willkommen seid. Das habt ihr uns doch bereitet - ein schlimmer Aufenthalt!"
قَالُوا بَلْ أَنتُمْ لَا مَرْحَبًا بِكُمْ ۖ أَنتُمْ قَدَّمْتُمُوهُ لَنَا ۖ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ
They say: Nay, but you (misleaders), for you there is no word of welcome. Ye prepared this for us (by your misleading). Now hapless is the plight.
(The followers of the misleaders will say): "Nay, you (too)! No welcome for you! It is you (misleaders) who brought this upon us (because you misled us in the world), so evil is this place to stay in!"
Sie sagen: "Unser Herr, erhöhe demjenigen, der uns dies bereitet hat, das (Strafmaß) als mehrfache Strafe im (Höllen)feuer."
قَالُوا رَبَّنَا مَن قَدَّمَ لَنَا هَٰذَا فَزِدْهُ عَذَابًا ضِعْفًا فِي النَّارِ
They say: Our Lord! Whoever did prepare this for us, oh, give him double portion of the Fire!
They will say: "Our Lord! Whoever brought this upon us, add to him a double torment in the Fire!"
Und sie sagen: "Wie kommt das, daß wir (gewisse) Männer nicht sehen, die wir zu den Bösewichten zählten?
وَقَالُوا مَا لَنَا لَا نَرَىٰ رِجَالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُم مِّنَ الْأَشْرَارِ
And they say: What aileth us that we behold not men whom we were wont to count among the wicked ?
And they will say: "What is the matter with us that we see not men whom we used to count among the bad ones?"
Haben wir sie (etwa zu Unrecht) zum Gegenstand des Spottes genommen? Oder haben die Blicke sie verfehlt?"
أَتَّخَذْنَاهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زَاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصَارُ
Did we take them (wrongly) for a laughing - stock, or have our eyes missed them ?
Did we take them as an object of mockery, or have (our) eyes failed to perceive them?"
Das ist tatsächlich wahr: (so ist) der Streit der Bewohner des (Höllen)feuers miteinander.
إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخَاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ
Lo! that is very truth: the wrangling of the dwellers in the Fire.
Verily, that is the very truth - the mutual dispute of the people of the Fire!
Sag: Ich bin nur ein Überbringer von Warnungen, und keinen Gott gibt es außer Allah, dem Einen, dem Allbezwinger,
قُلْ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مُنذِرٌ ۖ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am only a warner, and there is no God save Allah, the One, the Absolute,
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "I am only a warner and there is no Ilah (God) except Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah) the One, the Irresistible,
dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, dem Allmächtigen und Allvergebenden.
رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا الْعَزِيزُ الْغَفَّارُ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the Mighty, the Pardoning.
"The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving."
Sag: Es ist eine gewaltige Kunde,
قُلْ هُوَ نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ
Say: It is tremendous tidings
Say: "That (this Qur'an) is a great news,
von der ihr euch abwendet.
أَنتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ
Whence ye turn away!
"From which you turn away!
Ich hatte kein Wissen über die höchste führende Schar', als sie miteinander stritten.
مَا كَانَ لِيَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ بِالْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَىٰ إِذْ يَخْتَصِمُونَ
I had no knowledge of the Highest Chiefs when they disputed;
"I had no knowledge of the chiefs (angels) on high when they were disputing and discussing (about the creation of Adam).
Mir wird ja (als Offenbarung) eingegeben, daß ich nur ein deutlicher Warner bin.
إِن يُوحَىٰ إِلَيَّ إِلَّا أَنَّمَا أَنَا نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
It is revealed unto me only that I may be a plain warner.
"Only this has been revealed to me, that I am a plain warner."
Als dein Herr zu den Engeln sagte: "Ich werde ein menschliches Wesen aus Lehm erschaffen.
إِذْ قَالَ رَبُّكَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي خَالِقٌ بَشَرًا مِّن طِينٍ
When thy Lord said unto the angels: Lo! I am about to create a mortal out of mire,
(Remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Truly I am going to create man from clay".
Wenn Ich es zurechtgeformt und ihm von Meinem Geist eingehaucht habe, dann fallt und werft euch vor ihm nieder."
فَإِذَا سَوَّيْتُهُ وَنَفَخْتُ فِيهِ مِن رُّوحِي فَقَعُوا لَهُ سَاجِدِينَ
And when I have fashioned him and breathed into him of My Spirit, then fall down before him prostrate,
So when I have fashioned him and breathed into him (his) soul created by Me, then you fall down prostrate to him."
Da warfen sich die Engel alle zusammen nieder,
فَسَجَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ كُلُّهُمْ أَجْمَعُونَ
The angels fell down prostrate, every one,
So the angels prostrated themselves, all of them:
außer Iblis; er verhielt sich hochmütig und gehörte zu den Ungläubigen.
إِلَّا إِبْلِيسَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَكَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Saving Iblis; he was scornful and became one of the disbelievers.
Except Iblis (Satan): he was proud and was one of the disbelievers.
Er sagte: "O Iblis, was hat dich davon abgehalten, dich vor dem niederzuwerfen, was Ich mit Meinen Händen erschaffen habe? Verhältst du dich hochmütig, oder gehörst du etwa zu den Überheblichen?"
قَالَ يَا إِبْلِيسُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَن تَسْجُدَ لِمَا خَلَقْتُ بِيَدَيَّ ۖ أَسْتَكْبَرْتَ أَمْ كُنتَ مِنَ الْعَالِينَ
He said: O Iblis! What hindereth thee from falling prostrate before that which I have created with both My hands ? Art thou too proud or art thou of the high exalted ?
(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I have created with Both My Hands . Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the high exalted?"
Er sagte: "Ich bin besser als er. Mich hast Du aus Feuer erschaffen, wohingegen Du ihn aus Lehm erschaffen hast."
قَالَ أَنَا خَيْرٌ مِّنْهُ ۖ خَلَقْتَنِي مِن نَّارٍ وَخَلَقْتَهُ مِن طِينٍ
He said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire, whilst him Thou didst create of clay.
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "I am better than he. You created me from fire, and You created him from clay."
Er sagte: "Dann geh aus ihm hinaus, denn du bist der Steinigung würdig,
قَالَ فَاخْرُجْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّكَ رَجِيمٌ
He said: Go forth from hence, for lo! thou art outcast,
(Allah) said: "Then get out from here; for verily you are outcast.
und gewiß, auf dir liegt Mein Fluch bis zum Tag des Gerichts."
وَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَتِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
And lo! My curse is on thee till the Day of Judgment.
"And verily My Curse is on you till the Day of Recompense."
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, gewähre mir Aufschub bis zu dem Tag, da sie auferweckt werden."
قَالَ رَبِّ فَأَنظِرْنِي إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ
He said: My Lord! Reprieve me till the day when they are raised.
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "My Lord! Give me then respite till the Day the (dead) are resurrected."
Er sagte: "Gewiß, du gehörst zu denjenigen, denen Aufschub gewährt wird,
قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مِنَ الْمُنظَرِينَ
He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved
(Allah) said: "Verily! You are of those allowed respite."
bis zum Tag der (wohl)bekannten Zeit."
إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ
Until the day of the time appointed.
"Till the Day of the time appointed."
Er sagte: "Nun, bei Deiner Macht, ich werde sie allesamt ganz gewiß in Verirrung fallen lassen,
قَالَ فَبِعِزَّتِكَ لَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
He said: Then, by Thy might, I surely will beguile them every one,
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "By Your Might, then I will surely mislead them all,
außer Deinen Dienern, den auserlesenen unter ihnen."
إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
Save Thy single - minded slaves among them.
"Except Your chosen slaves amongst them (i.e. faithful, obedient, true believers of Islamic Monotheism)."
Er sagte: "Es ist die Wahrheit - und Ich sage ja die Wahrheit;
قَالَ فَالْحَقُّ وَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ
He said: The Truth is, and the Truth I speak,
(Allah) said: "The Truth is - and the Truth I say -
Ich werde die Hölle ganz gewiß mit dir und mit all denjenigen von ihnen füllen, die dir folgen."
لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ مِنكَ وَمِمَّن تَبِعَكَ مِنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
That I shall fill hell with thee and with such of them as follow thee, together.
That I will fill Hell with you [Iblis (Satan)] and those of them (mankind) that follow you, together."
Sag: Ich verlange von euch keinen Lohn dafür. Und ich gehöre nicht zu denjenigen, die Unzumutbares auferlegen.
قُلْ مَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ
Say (O Muhammad, unto mankind): I ask of you no fee for this, and I am no simulating.
Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم): "No wage do I ask of you for this (the Qur'an), nor am I one of the Mutakallifun (those who pretend and fabricate things which do not exist).
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
Lo! it is naught else than a reminder for all peoples
"It (this Qur'an) is only a Reminder for all the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn).
Und ihr werdet die Kunde darüber ganz bestimmt nach einer gewissen Zeit erfahren.
وَلَتَعْلَمُنَّ نَبَأَهُ بَعْدَ حِينٍ
And ye will come in time to know the truth thereof.
"And you shall certainly know the truth of it after a while".
