Chapter 71, 28 verses
Wir sandten ja Nuh zu seinem Volk: "Warne dein Volk, bevor schmerzhafte Strafe über sie kommt."
We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Lo! We sent Noah unto his people (saying): Warn thy people ere the painful doom come unto them.
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, ich bin euch ja ein deutlicher Warner,
He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
He said: O my people! Lo! I am a plain warner unto you
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
(euch zu mahnen:) Dient Allah und fürchtet Ihn, und gehorcht mir,
"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
(Bidding you): Serve Allah and keep your duty unto Him and obey me,
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
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!"
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
That He may forgive you somewhat of your sins and respite you to an appointed term. Lo! the term of Allah, when it cometh, cannot be delayed, if ye but knew.
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mein Volk bei Nacht und bei Tag aufgerufen.
He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
He said: My Lord! Lo! I have called unto my people night and day
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
Aber mein Rufen hat sie nur in ihrer Flucht bestärkt.
"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
But all my calling doth but add to their repugnance;
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
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.
"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
And lo! whenever I call unto them that Thou mayst pardon them they thrust their fingers in their ears and cover themselves with their garments and persist (in their refusal) and magnify themselves in pride.
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا
Hierauf richtete ich an sie den Ruf dann öffentlich.
"So I have called to them aloud;
And lo! I have called unto them aloud,
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Hierauf sprach ich zu ihnen offen und ganz im geheimen.
"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
And lo! I have made public proclamation unto them, and I have appealed to them in private.
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
Ich sagte: .Bittet euren Herrn um Vergebung - Er ist ja Allvergebend -,
"Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft - Forgiving;
And I have said: Seek pardon of your Lord. Lo! He was ever Forgiving.
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
so wird Er den Regen auf euch ergiebig (herab)senden
"'He will send rain to you in abundance;
He will let loose the sky for you in plenteous rain,
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
und euch mit Besitz und Söhnen unterstützen und für euch Gärten machen und für euch Bäche machen.
"'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
And will help you with wealth and sons, and will assign unto you Gardens and will assign unto you rivers.
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًا
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht glaubt, von Allah würdevoll behandelt zu werden,
"'What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long - suffering in Allah, -
What aileth you that ye hope not toward Allah for dignity
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
wo Er euch doch in Entwicklungsabschnitten erschaffen hat?
"'Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
When He created you by (divers) stages ?
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
Seht ihr nicht, wie Allah sieben Himmel in Schichten (übereinander) erschaffen hat,
"'See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
See ye not how Allah hath created seven heavens in harmony,
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا
den Mond darin zu einem Licht gemacht und die Sonne zu einem Leuchtkörper gemacht hat?
"'And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?
And hath made the moon a light therein, and made the sun a lamp ?
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
Und Allah hat euch aus der Erde heranwachsen lassen.
"'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
And Allah hath caused you to grow as a growth from the earth,
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
Hierauf wird Er euch in sie zurückbringen und gewiß (wieder aus ihr) hervorbringen.
"'And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?
And afterward He maketh you return thereto, and He will bring you forth again, a (new) forthbringing.
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
Und Allah hat euch die Erde zu einer ausgebreiteten Unterlage gemacht,
"'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
And Allah hath made the earth a wide expanse for you
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
damit ihr auf ihr dahinziehen könnt - auf Wegen als breiten Durchgängen'."
"'That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.'"
That ye may thread the valley - ways thereof.
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, sie haben sich mir widersetzt und sind jemandem gefolgt, dem sein Besitz und seine Kinder nur den Verlust mehren.
Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
Noah said: My Lord! Lo! they have disobeyed me and followed one whose wealth and children increase him in naught save ruin;
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
Und sie haben ungeheure Ränke geschmiedet.
"And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
And they have plotted a mighty plot,
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
Und sie haben gesagt: .Verlaßt doch nicht eure Götter; verlaßt doch nicht Wadd, noch Suwa", noch Yagut,Ya'uq und Nasr.'
"And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr'; -
And they have said: Forsake not your gods. Forsake not Wadd, nor Suwa', nor Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
Sie haben ja viele in die Irre geführt. So lasse die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer in die Irre gehen."
"They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong - doers but in straying (from their mark)."
And they have led many astray, and Thou increasest the wrong - doers in naught save error.
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًا
Wegen ihrer Verfehlungen wurden sie ertränkt und dann in ein (Höllen)feuer hineingebracht. Und da fanden sie für sich außer Allah keine Helfer.
Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found - in lieu of Allah - none to help them.
Because of their sins they were drowned, then made to enter a Fire. And they found they had no helpers in place of Allah.
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
Und Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, lasse auf der Erde von den Ungläubigen nicht einen einzigen Bewohner.
And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!
And Noah said: My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land.
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
Denn, gewiß, wenn Du sie (leben) läßt, führen sie Deine Diener in die Irre und zeugen nur Sittenlose und sehr beharrliche Ungläubige.
"For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.
If Thou shouldst leave them, they will mislead Thy slaves and will beget none save lewd ingrates.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
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."
"O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong - doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"
My Lord! Forgive me and my parents and him who entereth my house believing, and believing men and believing women, and increase not the wrong - doers in aught save ruin.
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا
