إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
in der jede weise Angelegenheit einzeln entschieden wird

لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ

der die Menschen überdecken wird. Das ist eine schmerzhafte Strafe.
Enveloping the people: this will be a Penalty Grievous.
Covering the people: this is a painful torment.
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Unser Herr, nimm die Strafe von uns hinweg; wir sind (jetzt) ja gläubig.
(They will say:) "Our Lord! remove the Penalty from us, for we do really believe!"
(They will say): "Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!"
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
Wie soll ihnen (jetzt) die Selbstbesinnung nützen, wo bereits ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen kam,
How shall the message be (effectual) for them, seeing that an Messenger explaining things clearly has (already) come to them, -

أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
sie sich hierauf aber von ihm abkehrten und sagten: "Einer, dem vorgesagt wird, ein Besessener"?
Yet they turn away from him and say: "Tutored (by others), a man possessed!"
Then they had turned away from him (Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and said: (He is) one taught (by a human being), a madman!"
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ

We did, before them, try the people of Pharaoh: there came to them a messenger most honourable,
And indeed We tried before them Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger [i.e. Musa (Moses) عليه السلام],

Und wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt, dann haltet euch (wenigstens) fern von mir."
"If ye believe me not, at least keep yourselves away from me."
"But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone."
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
Da rief er zu seinem Herrn: "Diese sind ein Volk von Übeltätern."
(But they were aggressive:) then he cried to his Lord: "These are indeed a people given to sin."
(But they were aggressive), so he [Musa (Moses)] called upon his Lord (saying): "These are indeed the people who are Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals)."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ
- "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort; ihr werdet ja verfolgt werden.
(The reply came:) "March forth with My Servants by night: for ye are sure to be pursued.

Wie viele Gärten und Quellen ließen sie zurück
How many were the gardens and springs they left behind,

von Fir'aun. Er war überheblich und einer der Maßlosen.
Inflicted by Pharaoh, for he was arrogant (even) among inordinate transgressors.
From Fir'aun (Pharaoh); verily he was arrogant and was of the Musrifun (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins).
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
Und Wir erwählten sie ja mit Wissen vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern
And We chose them aforetime above the nations, knowingly,
And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) [during the time of Musa (Moses)] with knowledge,
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

Bringt doch unsere Väter zurück, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid."
"Then bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!"
"Then bring back our forefathers, if you speak the truth!"
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
