By those [angels] lined up in rows
I swear by those who draw themselves out in ranks
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
And those who drive [the clouds]
Then those who drive away with reproof,
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
And those who recite the message,
Then those who recite, being mindful,
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!

Then inquire of them, [O Muhammad], "Are they a stronger [or more difficult] creation or those [others] We have created?" Indeed, We created men from sticky clay.

Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
Glory be to Allah (for freedom) from what they describe;
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,

"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."

But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:

Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.

So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?

But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
And leave them for a time.
And turn away from them till a time
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And see, for they are going to see.
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.

Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
And peace upon the messengers.
And peace be on the apostles.
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
