[This is] a mention of the mercy of your Lord to His servant Zechariah
A mention of the mercy of thy Lord unto His servant Zachariah.
(Diese Verse sind) zum Gedenken an die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn zu Seinem Diener Zakariyya.
When he called to his Lord a private supplication.
When he cried unto his Lord a cry in secret,
Als er zu seinem Herrn im Verborgenen rief
He said, "My Lord, indeed my bones have weakened, and my head has filled with white, and never have I been in my supplication to You, my Lord, unhappy.
Saying: My Lord! Lo! the bones of me wax feeble and my head is shining with grey hair, and I have never been unblest in prayer to Thee, my Lord.
(und) sagte: "Mein Herr, schwach sind mir die Knochen geworden, und in Altersgrauheit entfacht ist der Kopf. Und ich war im Bittgebet zu Dir, mein Herr, (noch) nie unglücklich.
And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir
Lo! I fear my kinsfolk after me, since my wife is barren. Oh, give me from Thy presence a successor
Gewiß, ich fürchte die Verwandten nach mir, und meine Frau ist unfruchtbar. So schenke mir von Dir aus einen nahen Verwandten,
Who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."
Who shall inherit of me and inherit (also) of the house of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, acceptable (unto Thee).
der mich beerbt und von der Sippe Ya'qubs erbt, und mach ihn, mein Herr, (Dir) wohlgefällig."
[He was told], "O Zechariah, indeed We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be John. We have not assigned to any before [this] name."
(It was said unto him): O Zachariah! Lo! We bring thee tidings of a son whose name is John; we have given the same name to none before (him).
O Zakariyya, Wir verkünden dir einen Jungen, dessen Name Yahya ist, wie Wir zuvor noch niemandem Kennzeichen gleich den seinen gegeben haben.
He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when my wife has been barren and I have reached extreme old age?"
He said: My Lord! How can I have a son when my wife is barren and I have reached infirm old age ?
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, wie soll ich einen Jungen haben, wo meine Frau unfruchtbar ist und ich vom hohen Alter bereits einen Dürrezustand erreicht habe?"
[An angel] said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, for I created you before, while you were nothing.' "
He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me, even as I created thee before, when thou wast naught.
Er sagte: "So wird es sein. Dein Herr sagt: ,Das ist Mir ein leichtes; und auch dich habe Ich ja zuvor erschaffen, als du noch nichts warst'."
[Zechariah] said, "My Lord, make for me a sign." He said, "Your sign is that you will not speak to the people for three nights, [being] sound."
He said: My Lord! Appoint for me some token. He said: Thy token is that thou, with no bodily defect, shalt not speak unto mankind three nights.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, setze mir ein Zeichen." Er sagte: "Dein Zeichen ist, daß du drei Nächte lang, obwohl gesund, nicht zu den Menschen sprechen wirst."
So he came out to his people from the prayer chamber and signaled to them to exalt [Allah] in the morning and afternoon.
Then he came forth unto his people from the sanctuary, and signified to them: Glorify your Lord at break of day and fall of night.
So kam er zu seinem Volk aus dem Gebetsraum heraus und gab ihnen dann zu verstehen: "Preist morgens und abends."
[Allah] said, "O John, take the Scripture with determination." And We gave him judgement [while yet] a boy
(And it was said unto his son): O John! Hold fast the Scripture. And we gave him wisdom when a child,
"O Yahya, nimm die Schrift mit (aller) Kraft." Und Wir gaben ihm schon als Kind die Urteilskraft
And affection from Us and purity, and he was fearing of Allah
And compassion from Our presence, and purity; and he was devout,
und Mitgefühl von Uns aus und Lauterkeit. Er war gottesfürchtig
And dutiful to his parents, and he was not a disobedient tyrant.
And dutiful toward his parents. And he was not arrogant, rebellious.
und gütig gegen seine Eltern, und er war weder gewalttätig noch widerspenstig.
And peace be upon him the day he was born and the day he dies and the day he is raised alive.
Peace on him the day he was born, and the day he dieth and the day he shall be raised alive!
Und Friede sei auf ihm am Tag, da er geboren wurde, und am Tag, da er stirbt, und am Tag, da er wieder zum Leben auferweckt wird.
And mention, [O Muhammad], in the Book [the story of] Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place toward the east.
And make mention of Mary in the Scripture, when she had withdrawn from her people to a chamber looking East,
Und gedenke im Buch Maryams, als sie sich von ihren Angehörigen an einen östlichen Ort zurückzog.
And she took, in seclusion from them, a screen. Then We sent to her Our Angel, and he represented himself to her as a well - proportioned man.
And had chosen seclusion from them. Then We sent unto her Our Spirit and it assumed for her the likeness of a perfect man.
Sie nahm sich einen Vorhang vor ihnen. Da sandten Wir Unseren Geist zu ihr. Er stellte sich ihr als wohlgestaltetes menschliches Wesen dar.
She said, "Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, [so leave me], if you should be fearing of Allah."
She said: Lo! I seek refuge in the Beneficent One from thee, if thou art God - fearing.
Sie sagte: "Ich suche beim Allerbarmer Schutz vor dir, wenn du gottesfürchtig bist."
He said, "I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you [news of] a pure boy."
He said: I am only a messenger of thy Lord, that I may bestow on thee a faultless son.
Er sagte: "Ich bin nur der Gesandte deines Herrn, um dir einen lauteren Jungen zu schenken."
She said, "How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?"
She said: How can I have a son when no mortal hath touched me, neither have I been unchaste ?
Sie sagte: "Wie soll mir ein Junge gegeben werden, wo mich doch kein menschliches Wesen berührt hat und ich keine Hure bin."
He said, "Thus [it will be]; your Lord says, 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter [already] decreed.' "
He said: So (it will be). Thy Lord saith: It is easy for Me. And (it will be) that We may make of him a revelation for mankind and a mercy from Us, and it is a thing ordained.
Er sagte: "So wird es sein. Dein Herr sagt: ,Das ist Mir ein leichtes, und damit Wir ihn zu einem Zeichen für die Menschen und zu einer Barmherzigkeit von Uns machen'. Und es ist eine beschlossene Angelegenheit."
So she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a remote place.
And she conceived him, and she withdrew with him to a far place.
So empfing sie ihn und zog sich mit ihm zu einem fernen Ort zurück.
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm tree. She said, "Oh, I wish I had died before this and was in oblivion, forgotten."
And the pangs of childbirth drove her unto the trunk of the palm - tree. She said: Oh, would that I had died ere this and had become a thing of naught, forgotten!
Die Wehen ließen sie zum Palmenstamm gehen. Sie sagte: "O wäre ich doch zuvor gestorben und ganz und gar in Vergessenheit geraten!"
But he called her from below her, "Do not grieve; your Lord has provided beneath you a stream.
Then (one) cried unto her from below her, saying: Grieve not! Thy Lord hath placed a rivulet beneath thee,
Da rief er ihr von unten her zu: "Sei nicht traurig; dein Herr hat ja unter dir ein Bächlein geschaffen.
And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates.
And shake the trunk of the palm - tree toward thee, thou wilt cause ripe dates to fall upon thee.
Und schüttle zu dir den Palmenstamm, so läßt er frische, reife Datteln auf dich herabfallen.
So eat and drink and be contented. And if you see from among humanity anyone, say, 'Indeed, I have vowed to the Most Merciful abstention, so I will not speak today to [any] man.' "
So eat and drink and be consoled. And if thou meetest any mortal, say: Lo! I have vowed a fast unto the Beneficent, and may not speak this day to any mortal.
So iß und trink und sei frohen Mutes'. Und wenn du nun jemanden von den Menschen sehen solltest, dann sag: Ich habe dem Allerbarmer Fasten gelobt, so werde ich heute mit keinem Menschenwesen sprechen."
Then she brought him to her people, carrying him. They said, "O Mary, you have certainly done a thing unprecedented.
Then she brought him to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.
Dann kam sie mit ihm zu ihrem Volk, ihn (mit sich) tragend. Sie sagten: "O Maryam, du hast da ja etwas Unerhörtes begangen.
O sister of Aaron, your father was not a man of evil, nor was your mother unchaste."
O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.
O Schwester Haruns, dein Vater war doch kein sündiger Mann, noch war deine Mutter eine Hure."
So she pointed to him. They said, "How can we speak to one who is in the cradle a child?"
Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy ?
Da zeigte sie auf ihn. Sie sagten: "Wie können wir mit jemandem sprechen, der noch ein Kind in der Wiege ist?"
[Jesus] said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a prophet.
He spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,
Er sagte: "Ich bin wahrlich Allahs Diener; Er hat mir die Schrift gegeben und mich zu einem Propheten gemacht.
And He has made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined upon me prayer and zakah as long as I remain alive
And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,
Und gesegnet hat Er mich gemacht, wo immer ich bin, und angeordnet hat Er mir, das Gebet (zu verrichten) und die Abgabe (zu entrichten), solange ich lebe,
And [made me] dutiful to my mother, and He has not made me a wretched tyrant.
And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest.
und gütig gegen meine Mutter zu sein. Und Er hat mich weder gewalttätig noch unglücklich gemacht.
And peace is on me the day I was born and the day I will die and the day I am raised alive."
Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!
Und der Friede sei auf mir am Tag, da ich geboren wurde, und am Tag, da ich sterbe, und am Tag da ich wieder zum Leben auferweckt werde."
That is Jesus, the son of Mary - the word of truth about which they are in dispute.
Such was Jesus, son of Mary: (this is) a statement of the truth concerning which they doubt.
Das ist 'Isa, der Sohn Maryams: (Es ist) das Wort der Wahrheit, woran sie zweifeln.
It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is.
It befitteth not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him! When He decreeth a thing, He saith unto it only: Be! and it is.
Es steht Allah nicht an, Sich ein Kind zu nehmen. Preis sei Ihm! Wenn Er eine Angelegenheit bestimmt, so sagt Er dazu nur: ,Sei!', und so ist es.
[Jesus said], "And indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. That is a straight path."
And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So serve Him. That is the right path.
('Isa sagte:) "Und gewiß, Allah ist mein Herr und euer Herr; so dient Ihm. Das ist ein gerader Weg."
Then the factions differed [concerning Jesus] from among them, so woe to those who disbelieved - from the scene of a tremendous Day.
The sects among them differ: but woe unto the disbelievers from the meeting of an awful Day.
Doch die Gruppierungen wurden uneinig untereinander; dann wehe denjenigen, die ungläubig sind, vor dem Erleben eines gewaltigen Tages!
How [clearly] they will hear and see the Day they come to Us, but the wrongdoers today are in clear error.
See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil - doers are to - day in error manifest.
Wie vorzüglich werden sie hören und sehen am Tag, da sie zu Uns kommen werden! Aber die Ungerechten befinden sich heute in einem deutlichen Irrtum.
And warn them, [O Muhammad], of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded; and [yet], they are in [a state of] heedlessness, and they do not believe.
And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not.
Warne sie vor dem Tag der gramvollen Reue, wenn die Angelegenheit entschieden sein wird, während sie (all dessen) unachtsam sind, und während sie (noch) nicht glauben.
Indeed, it is We who will inherit the earth and whoever is on it, and to Us they will be returned.
Lo! We, only We, inherit the earth and all who are thereon, and unto Us they are returned.
Gewiß, Wir sind es, die Wir die Erde und (all die,) die auf ihr sind, erben werden. Und zu Uns werden sie zurückgebracht.
And mention in the Book [the story of] Abraham. Indeed, he was a man of truth and a prophet.
And make mention (O Muhammad) in the Scripture of Abraham. Lo! he was a saint, a prophet.
Und gedenke im Buch Ibrahims. Er war ein Wahrhaftiger und Prophet.
[Mention] when he said to his father, "O my father, why do you worship that which does not hear and does not see and will not benefit you at all?
When he said unto his father: O my father! Why worshippest thou that which heareth not nor seeth, nor can in aught avail thee ?
Als er zu seinem Vater sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, warum dienst du dem, was nicht hört und nicht sieht und dir nichts nützt?
O my father, indeed there has come to me of knowledge that which has not come to you, so follow me; I will guide you to an even path.
O my father! Lo! there hath come unto me of knowledge that which came not unto thee. So follow me, and I will lead thee on a right path.
O mein lieber Vater, gewiß, zu mir ist vom Wissen gekommen, was nicht zu dir gekommen ist. So folge mir, dann leite ich dich einen ebenen Weg.
O my father, do not worship Satan. Indeed Satan has ever been, to the Most Merciful, disobedient.
O my father! Serve not the devil. Lo! the devil is a rebel unto the Beneficent.
O mein lieber Vater, diene nicht dem Satan. Gewiß, der Satan ist gegen den Allerbarmer widerspenstig.
O my father, indeed I fear that there will touch you a punishment from the Most Merciful so you would be to Satan a companion [in Hellfire]."
O my father! Lo! I fear lest a punishment from the Beneficent overtake thee so that thou become a comrade of the devil.
O mein lieber Vater, ich fürchte, daß dir Strafe vom Allerbarmer widerfährt, so daß du zu einem Gefolgsmann des Satans wirst."
[His father] said, "Have you no desire for my gods, O Abraham? If you do not desist, I will surely stone you, so avoid me a prolonged time."
He said: Rejectest thou my gods, O Abraham ? If thou cease not, I shall surely stone thee. Depart from me a long while!
Er sagte: "Verschmähst du meine Götter, o Ibrahim? Wenn du nicht aufhörst, werde ich dich ganz gewiß steinigen. Und meide mich eine Zeitlang."
[Abraham] said, "Peace will be upon you. I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, He is ever gracious to me.
He said: Peace be unto thee! I shall ask forgiveness of my Lord for thee. Lo! He was ever gracious unto me.
Er sagte: "Friede sei auf dir! Ich werde meinen Herrn für dich um Vergebung bitten; gewiß, Er ist zu mir sehr entgegenkommend.
And I will leave you and those you invoke other than Allah and will invoke my Lord. I expect that I will not be in invocation to my Lord unhappy."
I shall withdraw from you and that unto which ye pray beside Allah, and I shall pray unto my Lord. It may be that, in prayer unto my Lord, I shall not be unblest.
Ich werde mich von euch und von dem, was ihr anstatt Allahs anruft, fernhalten und nur meinen Herrn anrufen. Vielleicht werde ich im Bittgebet zu meinem Herrn nicht unglücklich sein."
So when he had left them and those they worshipped other than Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob, and each [of them] We made a prophet.
So, when he had withdrawn from them and that which they were worshipping beside Allah, We gave him Isaac and Jacob. Each of them We made a prophet.
Als er sich nun von ihnen und von dem, dem sie anstatt Allahs dienten, fernhielt, schenkten Wir ihm Ishaq und Ya'qub; und alle (beide) machten Wir zu Propheten.
And We gave them of Our mercy, and we made for them a reputation of high honor.
And we gave them of Our mercy, and assigned to them a high and true renown.
Und Wir schenkten ihnen (etwas) von Unserer Barmherzigkeit, und Wir verliehen ihnen einen hohen Ruf an Wahrhaftigkeit.
And mention in the Book, Moses. Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a messenger and a prophet.
And make mention in the Scripture of Moses. Lo! he was chosen, and he was a messenger (of Allah), a prophet.
Und gedenke im Buch Musas. Gewiß, er war auserlesen, und er war ein Gesandter und Prophet.
And We called him from the side of the mount at [his] right and brought him near, confiding [to him].
We called him from the right slope of the Mount, and brought him nigh in communion.
Wir riefen ihn von der rechten Seite des Berges und ließen ihn zu vertraulichem Gespräch näherkommen.

And We bestowed upon him of Our mercy his brother Aaron, a prophet (likewise).

Und gedenke im Buch Idris'. Er war ein Wahrhaftiger und Prophet.
And We raised him to a high station.
And We raised him to high station.
Und Wir hoben ihn zu einem hohen Ort empor.
Those were the ones upon whom Allah bestowed favor from among the prophets of the descendants of Adam and of those We carried [in the ship] with Noah, and of the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the verses of the Most Merciful were recited to them, they fell in prostration and weeping.
These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose. When the revelations of the Beneficent were recited unto them, they fell down, adoring and weeping.
Das sind diejenigen, denen Allah Gunst erwiesen hat, unter den Propheten aus der Nachkommenschaft Adams und von denjenigen, die Wir mit Nuh trugen, und aus der Nachkommenschaft Ibrahims und Isra'ils, und von denjenigen, die Wir rechtgeleitet und erwählt haben. Als ihnen die Zeichen des Allerbarmers verlesen wurden, fielen sie ehrerbietig und weinend nieder.
But there came after them successors who neglected prayer and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil -
Now there hath succeeded them a later generation whom have ruined worship and have followed lusts. But they will meet deception.
Dann folgten nach ihnen Nachfolger, die das Gebet vernachlässigten und den Begierden folgten. So werden sie (den Lohn für ihre) Verirrung vorfinden,
Except those who repent, believe and do righteousness; for those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged at all.
Save him who shall repent and believe and do right. Such will enter the Garden, and they will not be wronged in aught -
außer demjenigen, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt. Jene werden in den (Paradies)garten eingehen und ihnen wird in nichts Unrecht zugefügt
[Therein are] gardens of perpetual residence which the Most Merciful has promised His servants in the unseen. Indeed, His promise has ever been coming.
Gardens of Eden, which the Beneficent hath promised to His slaves in the unseen. Lo! His promise is ever sure of fulfilment -
in die Gärten Edens, die der Allerbarmer Seinen Dienern im Verborgenen versprochen hat. Sein Versprechen wird bestimmt erfüllt.
They will not hear therein any ill speech - only [greetings of] peace - and they will have their provision therein, morning and afternoon.
They hear therein no idle talk, but only Peace; and therein they have food for morn and evening.
Sie hören darin keine unbedachte Rede, sondern nur: "Frieden!" Und sie haben darin ihre Versorgung morgens und abends.
That is Paradise, which We give as inheritance to those of Our servants who were fearing of Allah.
Such is the Garden which We cause the devout among Our bondmen to inherit.
Das ist der (Paradies)garten, den Wir denjenigen von Unseren Dienern zum Erbe geben, die gottesfürchtig sind.
[Gabriel said], "And we [angels] descend not except by the order of your Lord. To Him belongs that before us and that behind us and what is in between. And never is your Lord forgetful -
We (angels) come not down save by commandment of thy Lord. Unto Him belongeth all that is before us and all that is behind us and all that is between those two, and thy Lord was never forgetful -
(Und die Engel sagen:) "Wir kommen nur auf Befehl deines Herrn herab. Ihm gehört (alles), was vor uns und was hinter uns und was dazwischen ist; und dein Herr ist gewiß nicht vergeßlich,'
Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them - so worship Him and have patience for His worship. Do you know of any similarity to Him?"
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them! Therefor, worship thou Him and be thou steadfast in His service. Knowest thou one that can be named along with Him ?
(Er), der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist. So diene Ihm und sei beharrlich in Seinem Dienst. Weißt du (etwa) einen, der Kennzeichen gleich den Seinen besäße?1"
And the says, "When I have died, am I going to be brought forth alive?"
And man saith: When I am dead, shall I forsooth be brought forth alive ?
Der Mensch sagt: "Werde ich, wenn ich erst einmal gestorben bin, wirklich wieder lebendig hervorgebracht werden?"
Does man not remember that We created him before, while he was nothing?
Doth not man remember that We created him before, when he was naught ?
Gedenkt der Mensch denn nicht, daß Wir ihn zuvor erschaffen haben, da er (noch) nichts war?
So by your Lord, We will surely gather them and the devils; then We will bring them to be present around Hell upon their knees.
And, by thy Lord, verily We shall assemble them and the devils, then We shall bring them, crouching, around hell.
Bei deinem Herrn, Wir werden sie ganz gewiß versammeln, (sie) und die Satane. Hierauf werden Wir sie ganz gewiß rings um die Hölle herum auf den Knien herbeibringen.
Then We will surely extract from every sect those of them who were worst against the Most Merciful in insolence.
Then We shall pluck out from every sect whichever of them was most stubborn in rebellion to the Beneficent.
Hierauf werden Wir aus jedem Lager ganz gewiß denjenigen herausnehmen, der sich dem Allerbarmer am heftigsten widersetzt hat.
Then, surely it is We who are most knowing of those most worthy of burning therein.
And surely We are Best Aware of those most worthy to be burned therein.
Dann wissen Wir wahrlich am besten über diejenigen Bescheid, die es am ehesten verdienen, ihr ausgesetzt zu sein.
And there is none of you except he will come to it. This is upon your Lord an inevitability decreed.
There is not one of you but shall approach it. That is a fixed ordinance of thy Lord.
Und es gibt keinen unter euch, der nicht daran vorbeigehen würde. Dies obliegt deinem Herrn unabänderlich beschlossen.
Then We will save those who feared Allah and leave the wrongdoers within it, on their knees.
Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evil - doers crouching there.
Hierauf erretten Wir diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig waren, und lassen die Ungerechten in ihr auf den Knien zurück.
And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Which of [our] two parties is best in position and best in association?"
And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them, those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Which of the two parties (yours or ours) is better in position, and more imposing as an army ?
Und wenn ihnen Unsere Zeichen als klare Beweise verlesen werden, sagen diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, zu denjenigen, die glauben: "Welcher der beiden Gruppen hat nun eine bessere Stellung und eine schönere Gesellschaft?"
And how many a generation have We destroyed before them who were better in possessions and [outward] appearance?
How many a generation have We destroyed before them, who were more imposing in respect of gear and outward seeming!
Aber wie viele Geschlechter vernichteten Wir vor ihnen, die besser an Ausstattung und Aussehen waren!
Say, "Whoever is in error - let the Most Merciful extend for him an extension [in wealth and time] until, when they see that which they were promised - either punishment [in this world] or the Hour [of resurrection] - they will come to know who is worst in position and weaker in soldiers."
Say: As for him who is in error, the Beneficent will verily prolong his span of life until, when they behold that which they were promised, whether it be punishment (in the world), or the Hour (of doom), they will know who is worse in position and who is weaker as an army.
Sag: Wer sich im Irrtum befindet, den möge der Allerbarmer lange darin gewähren lassen. Wenn sie dann sehen, was ihnen angedroht ist, entweder die Strafe oder die Stunde, da werden sie wissen, wer sich in einer (noch) schlechteren Lage befindet und die schwächere Heerschar hat.
And Allah increases those who were guided, in guidance, and the enduring good deeds are better to your Lord for reward and better for recourse.
Allah increaseth in right guidance those who walk aright, and the good deeds which endure are better in thy Lord's sight for reward, and better for resort.
Und Allah mehrt denjenigen, die rechtgeleitet sind, ihre Rechtleitung. Das Bleibende aber, die rechtschaffenen Werke - sie sind bei deinem Herrn besser in der Belohnung und besser als Rückkehr.
Then, have you seen he who disbelieved in Our verses and said, "I will surely be given wealth and children [in the next life]?"
Hast thou seen him who disbelieveth in Our revelations and saith: Assuredly I shall be given wealth and children ?
Was meinst du wohl zu demjenigen, der Unsere Zeichen verleugnet und sagt: "Mir werden ganz gewiß Besitz und Kinder gegeben"?
Has he looked into the unseen, or has he taken from the Most Merciful a promise?
Hath he perused the Unseen, or hath he made a pact with the Beneficent ?
Hat er etwa Einblick in das Verborgene gewonnen, oder hat er vom Allerbarmer eine Verpflichtung entgegengenommen?
No! We will record what he says and extend for him from the punishment extensively.
Nay, but We shall record that which he saith and prolong for him a span of torment.
Keineswegs! Wir werden aufschreiben, was er sagt, und ihm die Strafe noch verlängern.
And We will inherit him [in] what he mentions, and he will come to Us alone.
And We shall inherit from him that whereof he spake, and he will come unto Us, alone (without his wealth and children).
Und Wir erben von ihm das, was er sagt, während er einzeln zu Uns kommt.
And they have taken besides Allah [false] deities that they would be for them [a source of] honor.
And they have chosen (other) gods beside Allah that they may be a power for them.
Und sie haben sich anstatt Allahs Götter genommen, damit sie ihnen zu Macht gereichen.
No! Those "gods" will deny their worship of them and will be against them opponents [on the Day of Judgement].
Nay, but they will deny their worship of them, and become opponents unto them.
Keineswegs! Sie werden den von ihnen (empfangenen) Dienst verleugnen und werden ihnen Gegner sein.
Do you not see that We have sent the devils upon the disbelievers, inciting them to [evil] with [constant] incitement?
Seest thou not that We have set the devils on the disbelievers to confound them with confusion ?
Siehst du nicht, daß Wir die Satane gegen die Ungläubigen gesandt haben, damit sie sie heftig aufreizen?
So be not impatient over them. We only count out to them a [limited] number.
So make no haste against them (O Muhammad). We do but number unto them a sum (of days).
So wünsche nichts gegen sie zu beschleunigen; Wir zählen ihnen schon (die Tage) ab.
On the Day We will gather the righteous to the Most Merciful as a delegation
On the day when We shall gather the righteous unto the Beneficent, a goodly company.
An einem Tag, da Wir die Gottesfürchtigen als eine (geehrte) Abordnung zum Allerbarmer versammeln
And will drive the criminals to Hell in thirst
And drive the guilty unto hell, a weary herd,
und die Übeltäter, wie eine durstige Herde zur Tränke zur Hölle treiben,
None will have [power of] intercession except he who had taken from the Most Merciful a covenant.
They will have no power of intercession, save him who hath made a covenant with his Lord.
verfugen sie nicht über die Fürsprache, außer demjenigen, der vom Allerbarmer eine (diesbezügliche) Verpflichtung entgegengenommen hat.
And they say, "The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son."
And they say: The Beneficent hath taken unto Himself a son.
Und sie sagen: "Der Allerbarmer hat Sich Kinder genommen."
You have done an atrocious thing.
Assuredly ye utter a disastrous thing
Ihr habt ja eine abscheuliche Sache begangen.
The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation
Whereby almost the heavens are torn, and the earth is split asunder and the mountains fall in ruins,
Beinahe brechen davon die Himmel auseinander, und (beinahe) spaltet sich die Erde, und (beinahe) stürzen die Berge in Trümmern zusammen,
That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son.
That ye ascribe unto the Beneficent a son,
daß sie dem Allerbarmer Kinder zuschreiben.
And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.
When it is not meet for (the Majesty of) the Beneficent that He should choose a son.
Es ziemt dem Allerbarmer nicht, Sich Kinder zu nehmen.
There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.
There is none in the heavens and the earth but cometh unto the Beneficent as a slave.
Niemand in den Himmeln und auf der Erde wird zum Allerbarmer anders denn als Diener kommen (können).
He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.
Verily He knoweth them and numbereth them with (right) numbering.
