Surely he reflected and guessed,
For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!

(Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!

~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
Das sind nur die Worte von Menschenwesen."

This is naught but the word of a mortal.
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.

I will drive him into Saqar.
I will cast him into hell.
Him shall I fling unto the burning.
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?

Sie läßt nichts übrig und läßt nichts bestehen.
It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned],
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.

Über ihr gibt es neunzehn (Wächter).
Over it are nineteen [angels].

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.
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.
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.
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
No! By the moon
Nay; I swear by the moon,
Nay, by the Moon
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
And [by] the night when it departs
And the night when it departs,
And the night when it withdraweth
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
And the daybreak when it shines;
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
As a warning to humanity -
A warning to mortals,
As a warning unto men,
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,
Every soul, for what it has earned, will be retained
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
Except the companions of the right,
Except the people of the right hand,
Save those who will stand on the right hand.
sie werden sich in Gärten befinden, und sie werden einander fragen

Concerning the guilty:
Was hat euch in Saqar geführt?
[And asking them], "What put you into Saqar?"

Sie werden sagen: "Wir gehörten nicht zu denjenigen, die beteten,
They will say, "We were not of those who prayed,
They shall 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.
And we used not to feed the poor;
Nor did we feed the wretched.
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],
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
Until there came to us the certainty."
Till death overtook us.
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
So there will not benefit them the intercession of [any] intercessors.
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
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
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As if they were alarmed donkeys
As if they were asses taking fright
As they were frightened asses
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
Fleeing from a lion?
That had fled from a lion?
Fleeing from a lion ?
Aber nein! Jedermann von ihnen will, daß ihm aufgeschlagene Blätter zukommen.
Rather, every person among them desires that he would be given scriptures spread about.
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
Keineswegs! Vielmehr fürchten sie nicht das Jenseits.
No! But they do not fear the Hereafter.
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
Keineswegs! Er ist ja eine Erinnerung.
No! Indeed, the Qur'an is a reminder
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
Then whoever wills will remember it.
So whoever pleases may mind it.
So whosoever will may heed.
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 mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
