Chapter 71, 28 verses
Wir sandten ja Nuh zu seinem Volk: "Warne dein Volk, bevor schmerzhafte Strafe über sie kommt."
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, ich bin euch ja ein deutlicher Warner,
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:
He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
(euch zu mahnen:) Dient Allah und fürchtet Ihn, und gehorcht mir,
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
so wird Er euch (etwas) von euren Sünden vergeben und euch auf eine festgesetzte Frist zurückstellen. Gewiß, Allahs Frist, wenn sie kommt, kann nicht zurückgestellt werden, wenn ihr nur wüßtet!"
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know!
Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mein Volk bei Nacht und bei Tag aufgerufen.
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!
He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
Aber mein Rufen hat sie nur in ihrer Flucht bestärkt.
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا
But my call has only made them flee the more:
But my invitation increased them not except in flight.
Gewiß, jedesmal, wenn ich sie aufrief, damit Du ihnen vergibst, steckten sie ihre Finger in ihre Ohren, überdeckten sich mit ihren Gewändern, verharrten (im Irrtum) und verhielten sich sehr hochmütig.
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا
And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:
And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.
Hierauf richtete ich an sie den Ruf dann öffentlich.
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Then surely I called to them aloud:
Then I invited them publicly.
Hierauf sprach ich zu ihnen offen und ganz im geheimen.
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:
Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly
Ich sagte: .Bittet euren Herrn um Vergebung - Er ist ja Allvergebend -,
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:
And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
so wird Er den Regen auf euch ergiebig (herab)senden
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain:
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
und euch mit Besitz und Söhnen unterstützen und für euch Gärten machen und für euch Bäche machen.
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.
And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht glaubt, von Allah würdevoll behandelt zu werden,
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
What is the matter with you that you fear not the greatness of Allah?
What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur
wo Er euch doch in Entwicklungsabschnitten erschaffen hat?
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
And indeed He has created you through various grades:
While He has created you in stages?
Seht ihr nicht, wie Allah sieben Himmel in Schichten (übereinander) erschaffen hat,
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا
Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another,
Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers
den Mond darin zu einem Licht gemacht und die Sonne zu einem Leuchtkörper gemacht hat?
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp?
And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
Und Allah hat euch aus der Erde heranwachsen lassen.
وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth:
And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
Hierauf wird Er euch in sie zurückbringen und gewiß (wieder aus ihr) hervorbringen.
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth:
Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.
Und Allah hat euch die Erde zu einer ausgebreiteten Unterlage gemacht,
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse,
And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse
damit ihr auf ihr dahinziehen könnt - auf Wegen als breiten Durchgängen'."
لِّتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
That you may go along therein in wide paths.
That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "
Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, sie haben sich mir widersetzt und sind jemandem gefolgt, dem sein Besitz und seine Kinder nur den Verlust mehren.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss.
Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
Und sie haben ungeheure Ränke geschmiedet.
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
And they have planned a very great plan.
And they conspired an immense conspiracy.
Und sie haben gesagt: .Verlaßt doch nicht eure Götter; verlaßt doch nicht Wadd, noch Suwa", noch Yagut,Ya'uq und Nasr.'
وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.
And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
Sie haben ja viele in die Irre geführt. So lasse die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer in die Irre gehen."
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا
And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.
And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."
Wegen ihrer Verfehlungen wurden sie ertränkt und dann in ein (Höllen)feuer hineingebracht. Und da fanden sie für sich außer Allah keine Helfer.
مِّمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.
Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.
Und Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, lasse auf der Erde von den Ungläubigen nicht einen einzigen Bewohner.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:
And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.
Denn, gewiß, wenn Du sie (leben) läßt, führen sie Deine Diener in die Irre und zeugen nur Sittenlose und sehr beharrliche Ungläubige.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children)
Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] .
Mein Herr, vergib mir und meinen Eltern und demjenigen, der als Gläubiger mein Haus betritt, und den gläubigen Männern und den gläubigen Frauen. Und stürze die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer ins Verderben."
رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا
My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction!
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
