And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity.
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.

And [by] the night when it departs
And the night when it withdraweth

And the night when it departs,
And [by] the morning when it brightens,
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And the daybreak when it shines;
Indeed, the Fire is of the greatest [afflictions]
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)

As a warning to humanity -
As a warning unto men,
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
A warning to mortals,
To whoever wills among you to proceed or stay behind.

und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
And we used to deny the Day of Recompense
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,

bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."

Then what is [the matter] with them that they are, from the reminder, turning away
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
As if they were alarmed donkeys
As they were frightened asses
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As if they were asses taking fright
Fleeing from a lion?
Fleeing from a lion ?
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
That had fled from a lion?

Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
