Chapter 25, 77 verses
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Blessed is He Who hath revealed unto His slave the Criterion (of right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples.
Segensreich ist Derjenige, Der Seinem Diener die Unterscheidung offenbart hat, damit er für die Weltenbewohner ein Warner sei,
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِۦ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَٰلَمِينَ نَذِيرًا
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.
He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, He hath chosen no son nor hath He any partner in the Sovereignty. He hath created everything and hath meted out for it a measure.
Er, Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde gehört, Der Sich kein Kind genommen hat und Der keinen Teilhaber an der Herrschaft hat und alles erschaffen und ihm dabei sein rechtes Maß gegeben hat.
ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ شَرِيكٌ فِى ٱلْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ تَقْدِيرًا
But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.
Yet they choose beside Him other gods who create naught but are themselves created, and possess not hurt nor profit for themselves, and possess not death nor life, nor power to raise the dead.
Und sie haben sich außer Ihm Götter genommen, die nichts erschaffen, während sie (selbst) erschaffen werden, und die sich selbst weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermögen und die weder über Tod noch über Leben noch über Auferstehung verfugen.
وَٱتَّخَذُوا۟ مِن دُونِهِۦٓ ءَالِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْـًٔا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَوٰةً وَلَا نُشُورًا
And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.
Those who disbelieve say: This is naught but a lie that he hath invented, and other folk have helped him with it, so that they have produced a slander and a lie.
Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "Das ist nur eine ungeheuerliche Lüge, die er ersonnen hat und bei der andere Leute ihm geholfen haben." Sie begehen da ja Ungerechtigkeit und Falschaussage.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ إِنْ هَٰذَآ إِلَّآ إِفْكٌ ٱفْتَرَىٰهُ وَأَعَانَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ ءَاخَرُونَ فَقَدْ جَآءُو ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا
And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
And they say: Fables of the men of old which he hath had written down so that they are dictated to him morn and evening.
Und sie sagen: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren, die er sich aufgeschrieben hat'. So werden sie ihm morgens und abends vorgesagt."
وَقَالُوٓا۟ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ ٱكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِىَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا
Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): He who knoweth the secret of the heavens and the earth hath revealed it. Lo! He ever is Forgiving, Merciful.
Sag: Herabgesandt hat ihn Derjenige, Der das Geheime in den Himmeln und auf der Erde kennt. Gewiß, Er ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ ٱلَّذِى يَعْلَمُ ٱلسِّرَّ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?
And they say: What aileth this messenger (of Allah) that he eateth food and walketh in the markets ? Why is not an angel sent down unto him, to be a warner with him.
Und sie sagen: "Was ist mit diesem Gesandten, daß er Speise ißt und auf den Märkten umhergeht? O würde doch zu ihm ein Engel herabgesandt, um mit ihm ein Warner zu sein!
وَقَالُوا۟ مَالِ هَٰذَا ٱلرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِى فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُۥ نَذِيرًا
Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."
Or (why is not) treasure thrown down unto him, or why hath he not a paradise from whence to eat ? And the evil - doers say: Ye are but following a man bewitched.
Oder würde doch zu ihm ein Schatz herabgeworfen, oder hätte er doch einen Garten, von dem er essen könnte!" Und die Ungerechten sagen: "Ihr folgt ja nur ei nem Mann, der einem Zauber verfallen ist."
أَوْ يُلْقَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُۥ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا
Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.
See how they coin similitudes for thee, so that they are all astray and cannot find a road!
Schau, wie sie dir Gleichnisse prägen! Dabei sind sie abgeirrt, und so können sie keinen (Aus)weg mehr (finden).
ٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا۟ لَكَ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ فَضَلُّوا۟ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا
Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.
Blessed is He Who, if He will, will assign thee better than (all) that - Gardens underneath which rivers flow - and will assign thee mansions.
Segensreich ist Derjenige, Der dir, wenn Er will, etwas Besseres als dies zuteilen kann: Gärten, durcheilt von Bächen, und Der dir Schlösser zuteilen kann.
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِن شَآءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّٰتٍ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِهَا ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًۢا
But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.
Nay, but they deny (the coming of) the Hour, and for those who deny (the coming of) the Hour We have prepared a flame.
Aber nein! Sie erklären die Stunde für Lüge. Doch haben Wir für diejenigen, die die Stunde für Lüge erklären, eine Feuerglut bereitet.
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِٱلسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا
When the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.
When it seeth them from afar, they hear the crackling and the roar thereof.
Wenn sie sie aus der Ferne sieht, hören sie (bereits) von ihr Grollen und Fauchen.
إِذَا رَأَتْهُم مِّن مَّكَانٍۭ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا۟ لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا
And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.
And when they are flung into a narrow place thereof, chained together, they pray for destruction there.
Und wenn sie da in einen engen Ort zusammengebunden geworfen werden, rufen sie dort nach Vernichtung.
وَإِذَآ أُلْقُوا۟ مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا۟ هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا
[They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."
Pray not that day for one destruction, but pray for many destructions!
Ruft heute nicht nach (nur) einer einzigen Vernichtung, sondern ruft nach vielen Vernichtungen!1
لَّا تَدْعُوا۟ ٱلْيَوْمَ ثُبُورًا وَٰحِدًا وَٱدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا كَثِيرًا
Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.
Say: Is that (doom) better or the Garden of Immortality which is promised unto those who ward off (evil) ? It will be their reward and journey's end.
Sag: Ist das besser oder der Garten der Ewigkeit, der den Gottesfürchtigen versprochen ist? Er ist für sie Lohn und Reiseziel.
قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ ٱلْخُلْدِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَآءً وَمَصِيرًا
For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.
Therein abiding, they have all that they desire. It is for thy Lord a promise that must be fulfilled.
Sie haben darin, was sie wollen, und werden ewig darin bleiben. Das ist ein für deinen Herrn bindendes Versprechen, nach dem gefragt werden wird.
لَّهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَآءُونَ خَٰلِدِينَ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْـُٔولًا
And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allah and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"
And on the day when He will assemble them and that which they worship instead of Allah and will say: Was it ye who misled these my slaves or did they (themselves) wander from the way ?
Und am Tag, da Er sie und das, dem sie anstatt Allahs dienen, versammeln wird, sagt Er: "Wart ihr es, die diese Meine Diener in die Irre geführt haben, oder sind sie selbst vom Weg abgeirrt?"
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ ءَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِى هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا۟ ٱلسَّبِيلَ
They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."
They will say: Be Thou Glorified! it was not for us to choose any protecting friends beside thee; but Thou didst give them and their fathers ease till they forgot the warning and became lost folk.
Sie werden sagen: "Preis sei Dir! Es ziemte uns nicht, uns anstatt Deiner (andere) Sc,hutzherren zu nehmen. Aber Du ließt sie und ihre Väter genießen, bis sie die Ermahnung vergaßen und zu einem Volk des Niedergangs wurden."
قَالُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنۢبَغِى لَنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَآءَ وَلَٰكِن مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا۟ ٱلذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۢا بُورًا
So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.
Thus they will give you the lie regarding what ye say, then ye can neither avert (the doom) nor obtain help. And whoso among you doeth wrong, We shall make him taste great torment.
- "Nun haben sie euch in dem, was ihr sagt, der Lüge bezichtigt. Da könnt ihr weder (etwas) abwenden noch Hilfe erfahren. Und wer von euch Unrecht tut, den lassen Wir große Strafe kosten "
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا
And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.
We never sent before thee any messengers but lo! they verily ate food and walked in the markets. And We have appointed some of you a test for others: Will ye be steadfast ? And thy Lord is ever Seer.
Und Wir sandten vor dir keine Gesandten, die nicht Speise aßen und auf den Märkten umhergingen. Und Wir haben die einen von euch zur Versuchung für die anderen gemacht, (um festzustellen,) ob ihr standhaft seid. Und dein Herr sieht sehr wohl (alles).
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِى ٱلْأَسْوَاقِ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا
And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.
And those who look not for a meeting with Us say: Why are angels not sent down unto us and (Why) do we not see our Lord! Assuredly they think too highly of themselves and are scornful with great pride.
Und diejenigen, die nicht die Begegnung mit Uns erwarten, sagen: "O würden doch die Engel auf uns herabgesandt, oder könnten wir doch unseren Herrn sehen!" Sie verhalten sich ja hochmütig in Bezug auf sich selbst, und sie lehnen sich in großer Mißachtung auf.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَآءَنَا لَوْلَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا لَقَدِ ٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْ عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا
The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."
On the day when they behold the angels, on that day there will be no good tidings for the guilty; and they will cry: A forbidding ban!
Am Tag, da sie die Engel sehen, an dem Tag wird es für die Übeltäter keine frohe Botschaft geben, und sie werden sagen: "Das sei (euch) verwehrt und versperrt!"
يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا
And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
And We shall turn unto the work they did and make it scattered motes.
Und Wir werden Uns den Werken, die sie getan haben, zuwenden und sie zu verwehtem Staub machen.
وَقَدِمْنَآ إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَٰهُ هَبَآءً مَّنثُورًا
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.
Those who have earned the Garden on that day will be better in their home and happier in their place of noonday rest;
Die Insassen des (Paradies)gartens werden an jenem Tag einen besseren Aufenthalt und einen schöneren Ruheplatz haben.
أَصْحَٰبُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا
And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.
A day when the heaven with the clouds will be rent asunder and the angels will be sent down, a grand descent.
Und am Tag, da sich der Himmel, Wolken hervorbringend, aufspaltet und die Engel eindrucksvoll herabgesandt werden,
وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِٱلْغَمَٰمِ وَنُزِّلَ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا
True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.
The Sovereignty on that day will be the True (Sovereignty) belonging to the Beneficent One, and it will be a hard day for disbelievers.
an jenem Tag gehört die Herrschaft, die wahre (Herrschaft) dem Allerbanner, und es wird für die Ungläubigen ein schwerer Tag sein.
ٱلْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ عَسِيرًا
And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.
On the day when the wrong - doer gnaweth his hands, he will say: Ah, would that I had chosen a way together with the messenger (of Allah)!
Und an dem Tag wird der Ungerechte sich in die Hände beißen und sagen: "O hätte ich doch mit dem Gesandten einen Weg eingeschlagen!
وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ ٱلظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى ٱتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ ٱلرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا
Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.
Alas for me! Ah, would that I had never taken such an one for friend!
O wehe mir! Hätte ich doch nicht den Soundso zum Freund genommen!
يَٰوَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِى لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا
He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."
He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need.
Er hat mich ja von der Ermahnung abirren lassen, nachdem sie zu mir gekommen war." Der Satan pflegt den Menschen stets im Stich zu lassen.
لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِى عَنِ ٱلذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَآءَنِى وَكَانَ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ لِلْإِنسَٰنِ خَذُولًا
And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned."
And the messenger saith: O my Lord! Lo! mine own folk make this Qur'an of no account.
Und der Gesandte sagt: "O mein Herr, mein Volk mied diesen Qur'an unter Mißachtung."
وَقَالَ ٱلرَّسُولُ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِى ٱتَّخَذُوا۟ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ مَهْجُورًا
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.
Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper.
So haben Wir für jeden Propheten einen Feind aus den Reihen der Übeltäter bestellt. Und dein Herr genügt als Führer und Helfer.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا
And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.
And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur'an not revealed unto him all at once ? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order.
Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "O würde ihm doch der Qur'an als Ganzes offenbart!" So (geschieht es aber), damit Wir dein Herz mit ihm festigen. Und Wir haben ihn wohlgeordnet vorgetragen.
وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ جُمْلَةً وَٰحِدَةً كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِۦ فُؤَادَكَ وَرَتَّلْنَٰهُ تَرْتِيلًا
And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.
And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument.
Und sie bringen dir kein Beispiel, ohne daß Wir dir die Wahrheit und eine bessere Erklärung brächten.
وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَٰكَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا
The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.
Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are worse in plight and further from the right road.
Diejenigen, die auf ihren Gesichtern zur Hölle versammelt werden, jene sind in der schlechtesten Lage und sind am weitesten vom (rechten) Weg abgeirrt.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.
We verily gave Moses the Scripture and placed with him his brother Aaron as henchman.
Und Wir gaben bereits Musa die Schrift und bestellten ihm seinen Bruder Harun, (die Last) mitzutragen.
وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى ٱلْكِتَٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هَٰرُونَ وَزِيرًا
And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.
Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our revelations. Then We destroyed them, a complete destruction.
Da sagten Wir: "Geht zu dem Volk, das Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärt hat." Dann zerstörten Wir sie vollständig.
فَقُلْنَا ٱذْهَبَآ إِلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَٰهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا
And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.
And Noah's folk, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful doom for evil - doers.
Und auch das Volk Nuhs, als sie die Gesandten der Lüge bezichtigten, ließen Wir ertrinken und machten sie für die Menschen zu einem Zeichen. Und Wir haben für die Ungerechten schmerzhafte Strafe bereitet.
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا۟ ٱلرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ ءَايَةً وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.
And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud, and the dwellers in Ar - Rass, and many generations in between.
Und (desgleichen auch) die 'Ad, die Tamud, die Leute von ar-Rass und viele Geschlechter dazwischen.
وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَا۟ وَأَصْحَٰبَ ٱلرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًۢا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا
And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.
Each (of them) We warned by examples, and each (of them) We brought to utter ruin.
(Ihnen) allen prägten Wir Gleichnisse, und (sie) alle zerstörten Wir vollständig.
وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ ٱلْأَمْثَٰلَ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.
And indeed they have passed by the township whereon was rained the fatal rain. Can it be that they have not seen it ? Nay, but they hope for no resurrection.
Sie kamen doch an der Stadt vorbei, auf die der Unheilsregen niederging. Haben sie sie denn nicht gesehen? Nein! Vielmehr erwarten sie keine Auferstehung.
وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا۟ عَلَى ٱلْقَرْيَةِ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ ٱلسَّوْءِ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا۟ يَرَوْنَهَا بَلْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا
And when they see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?
And when they see thee (O Muhammad) they treat thee only as a jest (saying): Is this he whom Allah sendeth as a messenger ?
Und wenn sie dich sehen, machen sie sich über dich nur lustig: "Ist das derjenige, den Allah als Gesandten geschickt hat?
وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى بَعَثَ ٱللَّهُ رَسُولًا
He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.
He would have led us far away from our gods if we had not been staunch to them. They will know, when they behold the doom, who is more astray as to the road.
Beinahe hätte er uns fürwahr von unseren Göttern abirren lassen, wenn wir nicht (beharrlich) an ihnen festgehalten hätten." Sie werden, wenn sie die Strafe sehen, erfahren, wer weiter vom Weg abgeirrt ist.
إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ ءَالِهَتِنَا لَوْلَآ أَن صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ ٱلْعَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
Hast thou seen him who chooseth for his god his own lust ? Wouldst thou then be guardian over him ?
Was meinst du wohl zu einem, der sich seine Neigung zu seinem Gott nimmt? Würdest du denn Sachwalter über ihn sein können?
أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
Or deemest thou that most of them hear or understand ? They are but as the cattle - nay, but they are farther astray ?
Oder meinst du, daß die meisten von ihnen hören oder begreifen? Sie sind doch nur wie das Vieh. Aber nein! Sie irren noch weiter vom Weg ab.
أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.
Hast thou not seen how thy Lord hath spread the shade - And if He willed He could have made it still - then We have made the sun its pilot;
Siehst du nicht deinen Herrn, wie Er den Schatten lang werden läßt? Wenn Er wollte, würde Er ihn fürwahr stillstehen lassen. Hierauf machen Wir die Sonne zu einem Hinweis auf ihn.
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ ٱلظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَآءَ لَجَعَلَهُۥ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا ٱلشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا
Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.
Then We withdraw it unto Us, a gradual withdrawal ?
Hierauf ziehen Wir ihn leicht zu Uns ein.
ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَٰهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا
And it is He who has made the night for you as clothing and sleep [a means for] rest and has made the day a resurrection.
And He it is Who maketh night a covering for you, and sleep repose, and maketh day a resurrection.
Und Er ist es, Der euch die Nacht zum Kleid und den Schlaf zum Ausruhen macht; und Er macht den Tag zum Aufstehen.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا وَٱلنَّوْمَ سُبَاتًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلنَّهَارَ نُشُورًا
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy, and We send down from the sky pure water
And He it is Who sendeth the winds, glad tidings heralding His mercy, and We send down purifying water from the sky,
Und Er ist es, Der die Winde als Frohboten Seiner Barmherzigkeit (voraus)sendet. Und Wir lassen vom Himmel reines Wasser herabkommen,
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَرْسَلَ ٱلرِّيَٰحَ بُشْرًۢا بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَحْمَتِهِۦ وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً طَهُورًا
That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.
That We may give life thereby to a dead land, and We give many beasts and men that We have created to drink thereof.
um damit (manch) totes Land wieder lebendig zu machen und um es Vieh und Menschen in großer Zahl, die Wir erschaffen haben, zu trinken zu geben.
لِّنُحْۦِىَ بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُۥ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَآ أَنْعَٰمًا وَأَنَاسِىَّ كَثِيرًا
And We have certainly distributed it among them that they might be reminded, but most of the people refuse except disbelief.
And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude.
Und Wir verteilen es ja unter ihnen auf verschiedene Weise, damit sie bedenken. Aber die meisten Menschen weisen (alles) zurück außer dem Unglauben.
وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَٰهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا۟ فَأَبَىٰٓ أَكْثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.
If We willed, We could raise up a warner in every village.
Wenn Wir wollten, würden Wir wahrlich in jeder Stadt einen Warner erstehen lassen.
وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَبَعَثْنَا فِى كُلِّ قَرْيَةٍ نَّذِيرًا
So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.
So obey not the disbelievers, but strive against them herewith with a great endeavour.
So gehorche nicht den Ungläubigen und mühe dich damit gegen sie ab mit großem Einsatz.
فَلَا تُطِعِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ وَجَٰهِدْهُم بِهِۦ جِهَادًا كَبِيرًا
And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them.
Und Er ist es, Der den beiden Meeren freien Lauf läßt: Das eine ist süß und erfrischend, das andere salzig und (auf der Zunge) brennend. Und Er hat zwischen ihnen beiden ein trennendes Hindernis und eine verwehrte Absperrung errichtet.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى مَرَجَ ٱلْبَحْرَيْنِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا
And it is He who has created from water a human being and made him [a relative by] lineage and marriage. And ever is your Lord competent [concerning creation].
And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful.
Und Er ist es, Der aus Wasser menschliche Wesen erschafft und sie dann zu (Bluts)verwandschaft und Schwägerschaft bestimmt; dein Herr ist Allmächtig.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ مِنَ ٱلْمَآءِ بَشَرًا فَجَعَلَهُۥ نَسَبًا وَصِهْرًا وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيرًا
But they worship rather than Allah that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].
Yet they worship instead of Allah that which can neither benefit them nor hurt them. The was ever a partisan against his Lord.
Aber sie dienen anstatt Allahs, was ihnen weder nützt noch schadet. Und der Ungläubige leistet stets Beistand gegen seinen Herrn.
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ وَكَانَ ٱلْكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ ظَهِيرًا
And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner.
And We have sent thee (O Muhammad) only as a bearer of good tidings and a warner.
Und Wir haben dich nur als Verkünder froher Botschaft und Warner gesandt.
وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَٰكَ إِلَّا مُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا
Say, "I do not ask of you for it any payment - only that whoever wills might take to his Lord a way."
Say: I ask of you no reward for this, save that whoso will may choose a way unto his Lord.
Sag: Ich verlange von euch (für mich selbst) keinen Lohn dafür. Wer aber einen Weg zu seinem Herrn einschlagen will (, bekommt selbst seinen Lohn).
قُلْ مَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلَّا مَن شَآءَ أَن يَتَّخِذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا
And rely upon the Ever - Living who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted -
And trust thou in the Living One Who dieth not, and hymn His praise. He sufficeth as the Knower of His bondmen's sins,
Und verlasse dich auf den Lebendigen, Der nicht stirbt, und lobpreise Ihn. Er genügt als Kenner der Sünden Seiner Diener,
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْحَىِّ ٱلَّذِى لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا
He who created the heavens and the earth and what is between them in six days and then established Himself above the Throne - the Most Merciful, so ask about Him one well .
Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days, then He mounted the Throne. The Beneficent! Ask anyone concerning Him!
Der die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist, in sechs Tagen erschuf und Sich hierauf über den Thron erhob', (Er ist) der Allerbarmer. So frag einen, der von Ihm Kenntnis hat.
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِى سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ ٱسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ فَسْـَٔلْ بِهِۦ خَبِيرًا
And when it is said to them, "Prostrate to the Most Merciful," they say, "And what is the Most Merciful? Should we prostrate to that which you order us?" And it increases them in aversion.
And when it is said unto them: Adore the Beneficent! they say: And what is the Beneficent ? Are we to adore whatever thou (Muhammad) biddest us ? And it increaseth aversion in them.
Und wenn zu ihnen gesagt wird: "Werft euch vor dem Allerbarmer nieder" sagen sie: "Was ist denn der Allerbarmer? Sollen wir uns (einfach) vor dem niederwerfen, was du uns befiehlst?" Und das mehrt ihnen (nur) die Abneigung.
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسْجُدُوا۟ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ قَالُوا۟ وَمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ أَنَسْجُدُ لِمَا تَأْمُرُنَا وَزَادَهُمْ نُفُورًا
Blessed is He who has placed in the sky great stars and placed therein a [burning] lamp and luminous moon.
Blessed be He Who hath placed in the heaven mansions of the stars, and hath placed therein a great lamp and a moon giving light!
Segensreich ist Derjenige, Der im Himmel Türme gesetzt und darin einen Lichtkörper und einen leuchtenden Mond gesetzt hat!
تَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ بُرُوجًا وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا سِرَٰجًا وَقَمَرًا مُّنِيرًا
And it is He who has made the night and the day in succession for whoever desires to remember or desires gratitude.
And He it is Who hath appointed night and day in succession, for him who desireth to remember, or desireth thankfulness.
Und Er ist es, Der die Nacht und den Tag so gemacht hat, daß sie sich voneinander für jemanden unterscheiden, der bedenken oder Dankbarkeit zeigen will.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ خِلْفَةً لِّمَنْ أَرَادَ أَن يَذَّكَّرَ أَوْ أَرَادَ شُكُورًا
And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily, and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,
The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent are they who walk upon the earth modestly, and when the foolish ones address them answer: Peace;
Die Diener des Allerbarmers sind diejenigen, die maßvoll auf der Erde umhergehen und die, wenn die Toren sie ansprechen, sagen: "Frieden!"
وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ هَوْنًا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلْجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًا
And those who spend [part of] the night to their Lord prostrating and standing [in prayer]
And who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing,
Und diejenigen, die die Nacht verbringen, indem sie sich (im Gebet) vor ihrem Herrn niederwerfen und aufrecht stehen.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَٰمًا
And those who say, "Our Lord, avert from us the punishment of Hell. Indeed, its punishment is ever adhering;
And who say: Our Lord! Avert from us the doom of hell; lo! the doom thereof is anguish;
Und diejenigen, die sagen: "Unser Herr, wende von uns die Strafe der Hölle ab." Ihre Strafe ist ja bedrängend;
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا ٱصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذَابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ عَذَابَهَا كَانَ غَرَامًا
Indeed, it is evil as a settlement and residence."
Lo! it is wretched as abode and station;
gewiß, sie ist böse als Aufenthaltsort und Bleibe.
إِنَّهَا سَآءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا
And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever, between that, [justly] moderate
And those who, when they spend, are neither prodigal nor grudging; and there is ever a firm station between the two;
Und diejenigen, die, wenn sie ausgeben, weder maßlos noch knauserig sind, sondern den Mittelweg dazwischen (einhalten).
وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَنفَقُوا۟ لَمْ يُسْرِفُوا۟ وَلَمْ يَقْتُرُوا۟ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ قَوَامًا
And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.
And those who cry not unto any other god along with Allah, nor take the life which Allah hath forbidden save in (course of) justice, nor commit adultery - and whoso doeth this shall pay the penalty;
Und diejenigen, die neben Allah keinen anderen Gott anrufen und nicht die Seele töten, die Allah (zu töten) verboten hat, außer aus einem rechtmäßigen Grund, und die keine Unzucht begehen. - Wer das tut, hat die Folge der Sünde zu erleiden;
وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ ٱلنَّفْسَ ٱلَّتِى حَرَّمَ ٱللَّهُ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَن يَفْعَلْ ذَٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا
Multiplied for him is the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated -
The doom will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein disdained for ever;
die Strafe wird ihm am Tag der Auferstehung vervielfacht', und ewig wird er darin in Schmach bleiben,
يُضَٰعَفْ لَهُ ٱلْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِۦ مُهَانًا
Except for those who repent, believe and do righteous work. For them Allah will replace their evil deeds with good. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.
Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; as for such, Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
außer demjenigen, der bereut, glaubt und rechtschaffene Werke tut; jenen wird Allah ihre bösen Taten gegen gute eintauschen; und Allah ist stets Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
إِلَّا مَن تَابَ وَءَامَنَ وَعَمِلَ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًا فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّـَٔاتِهِمْ حَسَنَٰتٍ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
And he who repents and does righteousness does indeed turn to Allah with [accepted] repentance.
And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance -
Und wer bereut und rechtschaffen handelt, der wendet sich in wahrhaftiger Reue Allah zu.
وَمَن تَابَ وَعَمِلَ صَٰلِحًا فَإِنَّهُۥ يَتُوبُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ مَتَابًا
And [they are] those who do not testify to falsehood, and when they pass near ill speech, they pass by with dignity.
And those who will not witness vanity, but when they pass near senseless play, pass by with dignity.
Und (auch) diejenigen, die keine Falschaussage bezeugen und, wenn sie im Vorbeigehen unbedachte Rede (hören), würdevoll weitergehen.
وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَشْهَدُونَ ٱلزُّورَ وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِٱللَّغْوِ مَرُّوا۟ كِرَامًا
And those who, when reminded of the verses of their Lord, do not fall upon them deaf and blind.
And those who, when they are reminded of the revelations of their Lord, fall not deaf and blind thereat.

وَٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا
Those will be awarded the Chamber for what they patiently endured, and they will be received therein with greetings and [words of] peace.
They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace,
(All) diesen wird mit dem Obergemach vergolten werden, daß sie standhaft waren; und ihnen wird Gruß und Friede" entgegengebracht,
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ يُجْزَوْنَ ٱلْغُرْفَةَ بِمَا صَبَرُوا۟ وَيُلَقَّوْنَ فِيهَا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلَٰمًا
Abiding eternally therein. Good is the settlement and residence.
Abiding there for ever. Happy is it as abode and station!
ewig darin zu bleiben. Schön ist es als Aufenthaltsort und Bleibe.
خَٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا حَسُنَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَمُقَامًا
Say, "What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication?" For you [disbelievers] have denied, so your denial is going to be adherent.
Say (O Muhammad, unto the disbelievers): My Lord would not concern Himself with you but for your prayer. But now ye have denied (the Truth), therefor there will be judgment.
Sag: Mein Herr kümmerte Sich nicht um euch, wenn nicht euer Bittgebet (zu Ihm) wäre. Ihr habt doch (alles) für Lüge erklärt, und so wird (eure Strafe hierfür) un abwendbar sein.
قُلْ مَا يَعْبَؤُا۟ بِكُمْ رَبِّى لَوْلَا دُعَآؤُكُمْ فَقَدْ كَذَّبْتُمْ فَسَوْفَ يَكُونُ لِزَامًۢا
