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."
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Indeed, We sent Noah to his people, [saying], "Warn your people before there comes to them a painful punishment."
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:
قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
(euch zu mahnen:) Dient Allah und fürchtet Ihn, und gehorcht mir,
"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
أَنِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَاتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
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."
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ۚ إِنَّ أَجَلَ اللَّهِ إِذَا جَاءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ ۖ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "
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:
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِي لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
Aber mein Rufen hat sie nur in ihrer Flucht bestärkt.
"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَائِي إِلَّا فِرَارًا
But my invitation increased them not except in flight.
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.
وَإِنِّي كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَصَابِعَهُمْ فِي آذَانِهِمْ وَاسْتَغْشَوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا وَاسْتَكْبَرُوا اسْتِكْبَارًا
And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.
Hierauf richtete ich an sie den Ruf dann öffentlich.
"So I have called to them aloud;
ثُمَّ إِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Then I invited them publicly.
Hierauf sprach ich zu ihnen offen und ganz im geheimen.
"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly
Ich sagte: .Bittet euren Herrn um Vergebung - Er ist ja Allvergebend -,
"Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft - Forgiving;
فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
And said, 'Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Indeed, He is ever a Perpetual Forgiver.
so wird Er den Regen auf euch ergiebig (herab)senden
"'He will send rain to you in abundance;
يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
He will send [rain from] the sky upon you in [continuing] showers
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).
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا
And give you increase in wealth and children and provide for you gardens and provide for you rivers.
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, -
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
What is [the matter] with you that you do not attribute to Allah [due] grandeur
wo Er euch doch in Entwicklungsabschnitten erschaffen hat?
"'Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
While He has created you in stages?
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,
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا كَيْفَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ طِبَاقًا
Do you not consider how Allah has created seven heavens in layers
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?
وَجَعَلَ الْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
And made the moon therein a [reflected] light and made the sun a burning lamp?
Und Allah hat euch aus der Erde heranwachsen lassen.
"'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
وَاللَّهُ أَنبَتَكُم مِّنَ الْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
And Allah has caused you to grow from the earth a [progressive] growth.
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)?
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
Then He will return you into it and extract you [another] extraction.
Und Allah hat euch die Erde zu einer ausgebreiteten Unterlage gemacht,
"'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
وَاللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
And Allah has made for you the earth an expanse
damit ihr auf ihr dahinziehen könnt - auf Wegen als breiten Durchgängen'."
"'That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.'"
لِّتَسْلُكُوا مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
That you may follow therein roads of passage.' "
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.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
Und sie haben ungeheure Ränke geschmiedet.
"And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
And they conspired an immense conspiracy.
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'; -
وَقَالُوا لَا تَذَرُنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
And said, 'Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwa' or Yaghuth and Ya'uq and Nasr.
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)."
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا كَثِيرًا ۖ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَالًا
And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."
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.
مِّمَّا خَطِيئَاتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا فَأُدْخِلُوا نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُم مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
Because of their sins they were drowned and put into the Fire, and they found not for themselves besides Allah [any] helpers.
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!
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
And Noah said, "My Lord, do not leave upon the earth from among the disbelievers an inhabitant.
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.
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
Indeed, if You leave them, they will mislead Your servants and not beget except [every] wicked one and [confirmed] .
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!"
رَّبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِيَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًا
My Lord, forgive me and my parents and whoever enters my house a believer and the believing men and believing women. And do not increase the wrongdoers except in destruction."
