Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
No! By the moon

And the night when it departs,
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
And the daybreak when it shines;
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)

Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
As a warning to humanity -
As a warning unto men,
A warning to mortals,
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.

Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,

They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed

und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,
Nor did we used to feed the poor.
Nor did we feed the wretched.
And we used not to feed the poor;
und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who engaged [in it],
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Till death overtook us.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As if they were alarmed donkeys
As they were frightened asses
As if they were asses taking fright
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
Fleeing from a lion?
Fleeing from a lion ?
That had fled from a lion?

Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
And they will not remember except that Allah wills. He is worthy of fear and adequate for [granting] forgiveness.
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
