Chapter 91, 15 verses
Bei der Sonne und ihrer Morgenhelle
By the Sun and his (glorious) splendour;
I swear by the sun and its brilliance,
وَٱلشَّمْسِ وَضُحَىٰهَا
und dem Mond, wenn er ihr folgt,
By the Moon as she follows him;
And the moon when it follows the sun,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَىٰهَا
und dem Tag, wenn er sie erscheinen läßt,
By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) glory;
And the day when it shows it,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّىٰهَا
und der Nacht, wenn sie sie überdeckt,
By the Night as it conceals it;
And the night when it draws a veil over it,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰهَا
und dem Himmel und Dem, Der ihn aufgebaut hat,
By the Firmament and its (wonderful) structure;
And the heaven and Him Who made it,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَمَا بَنَىٰهَا
und der Erde und Dem, Der sie ausgebreitet hat,
By the Earth and its (wide) expanse:
And the earth and Him Who extended it,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَىٰهَا
und einer (jeden) Seele und Dem, Der sie zurechtgeformt hat
By the Soul, and the proportion and order given to it;
And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّىٰهَا
und ihr dann ihre Sittenlosigkeit und ihre Gottesfurcht eingegeben hat!
And its enlightenment as to its wrong and its right; -
Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;
فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَىٰهَا
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sie läutert,
Truly he succeeds that purifies it,
He will indeed be who purifies it,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّىٰهَا
und enttäuscht sein wird ja, wer sie verkümmern läßt.
And he fails that corrupts it!
And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.
وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّىٰهَا
Die Tamud erklärten in ihrer Auflehnung (die Botschaft) für Lüge,
The Thamud (people) rejected (their prophet) through their inordinate wrong - doing,
Samood gave the lie (to the truth) in their inordinacy,
كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِطَغْوَىٰهَآ
als der Unseligste von ihnen sich erhob.
Behold, the most wicked man among them was deputed (for impiety).
When the most unfortunate of them broke forth with
إِذِ ٱنۢبَعَثَ أَشْقَىٰهَا
Allahs Gesandter sagte zu ihnen: "(Achtet auf) Allahs Kamelstute und ihre Trinkzeit."
But the Messenger of Allah said to them: "It is a She - camel of Allah! And (bar her not from) having her drink!"
So Allah's apostle said to them (Leave alone) Allah's she - camel, and (give) her (to) drink.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ ٱللَّهِ نَاقَةَ ٱللَّهِ وَسُقْيَٰهَا
Sie aber bezichtigten ihn der Lüge, und so schnitten sie ihr die Sehnen durch. Da schmetterte ihr Herr sie für ihre Sünde nieder, und so ebnete Er über ihnen die Erde ein.
Then they rejected him (as a false prophet), and they hamstrung her. So their Lord, on account of their crime, obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction, high and low)!
But they called him a liar and slaughtered her, therefore their Lord crushed them for their sin and levelled them (with the ground).
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَعَقَرُوهَا فَدَمْدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَبُّهُم بِذَنۢبِهِمْ فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Und Er (Allah) fürchtet nicht die Folge davon.
And for Him is no fear of its consequences.
And He fears not its consequence.
وَلَا يَخَافُ عُقْبَٰهَا
