إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
in der jede weise Angelegenheit einzeln entschieden wird
On that night is made distinct every precise matter -

Aber nein! Sie sind im Zweifel und treiben ihr Spiel.

بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
So erwarte den Tag, an dem der Himmel deutlichen Rauch hervorbringt,
Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke.
Therefore keep waiting for the day when the heaven shall bring an evident smoke,
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
der die Menschen überdecken wird. Das ist eine schmerzhafte Strafe.
Covering the people; this is a painful torment.

رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Wie soll ihnen (jetzt) die Selbstbesinnung nützen, wo bereits ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen kam,
How will there be for them a reminder [at that time]? And there had come to them a clear Messenger.
How shall they be reminded, and there came to them an Apostle making clear (the truth),
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
sie sich hierauf aber von ihm abkehrten und sagten: "Einer, dem vorgesagt wird, ein Besessener"?
Then they turned away from him and said, "[He was] taught [and is] a madman."
Yet they turned their backs on him and said: One taught (by others), a madman.
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ

But if you do not believe me, then leave me alone."
And if you do not believe in me, then leave me alone.
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ

And [finally] he called to his Lord that these were a criminal people.
Then he called upon his Lord: These are a guilty people.
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ
- "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort; ihr werdet ja verfolgt werden.
[Allah said], "Then set out with My servants by night. Indeed, you are to be pursued.

And We certainly chose them by knowledge over [all] the worlds.
And certainly We chose them, having knowledge, above the nations.
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
