Chapter 96, 19 verses
Lies im Namen deines Herrn, Der erschaffen hat,
Recite in the name of your Lord who created -
Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ
den Menschen erschaffen hat aus einem Anhängsel.
Created man from a clinging substance.
He created man from a clot.
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
Lies, und dein Herr ist der Edelste,
Recite, and your Lord is the most Generous -
Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ
Der (das Schreiben) mit dem Schreibrohr gelehrt hat,
Who taught by the pen -
Who taught (to write) with the pen
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
den Menschen gelehrt hat, was er nicht wußte.
Taught man that which he knew not.
Taught man what he knew not.
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
Keineswegs! Der Mensch lehnt sich wahrlich auf,
No! [But] indeed, man transgresses
Nay! man is most surely inordinate,
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ
daß er von sich meint, unbedürftig zu sein.
Because he sees himself self - sufficient.
Because he sees himself free from want.
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ
Gewiß, zu deinem Herrn wird die Rückkehr sein.
Indeed, to your Lord is the return.
Surely to your Lord is the return.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ
Siehst du denjenigen, der abhält
Have you seen the one who forbids
Have you seen him who forbids
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ
einen Diener, wenn er betet?
A servant when he prays?
A servant when he prays?
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ
Siehst du! Obwohl er nach der Rechtleitung verfährt,
Have you seen if he is upon guidance
Have you considered if he were on the right way,
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
oder die Gottesfurcht gebietet?
Or enjoins righteousness?
Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ
Siehst du! Wie (wäre es) wenn er (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt?
Have you seen if he denies and turns away -
Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Weiß er denn nicht, daß Allah sieht?
Does he not know that Allah sees?
Does he not know that Allah does see?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
Keineswegs! Wenn er nicht aufhört, werden Wir ihn ganz gewiß an der Stirnlocke packen und ziehen,
No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock -
Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
einer Stirnlocke, einer lügnerischen, einer verfehlt handelnden.
A lying, sinning forelock.
A lying, sinful forehead.
نَاصِيَةٍ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
So soll er doch seine Genossen rufen.
Then let him call his associates;
Then let him summon his council,
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ
Wir werden die (Höllen)wache rufen.
We will call the angels of Hell.
We too would summon the braves of the army.
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ
Keineswegs! Gehorche ihm nicht, sondern wirf dich nieder und sei (Allah) nah!
No! Do not obey him. But prostrate and draw near [to Allah].
Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب
