By those [angels] lined up in rows
Waalssaffati saffan
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
By those who range themselves in ranks,
Chapter 37, 182 verses
By those [angels] lined up in rows
Waalssaffati saffan
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
By those who range themselves in ranks,
And those who drive [the clouds]
Faalzzajirati zajran
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
And those who recite the message,
Faalttaliyati thikran
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
Indeed, your God is One,
Inna ilahakum lawahidun
Euer Gott ist wahrlich ein Einziger,
Verily, verily, your Allah is one! -
Lord of the heavens and the earth and that between them and Lord of the sunrises.
Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma warabbu almashariqi
der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, und der Herr der Osten.
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
Indeed, We have adorned the nearest heaven with an adornment of stars
Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi
Wir haben den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern';
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, -
And as protection against every rebellious devil
Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin
und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
[So] they may not listen to the exalted assembly [of angels] and are pelted from every side,
La yassammaAAoona ila almalai alaAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janibin
So können sie der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
Repelled; and for them is a constant punishment,
Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun
damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es immerwährende Strafe geben -,
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
Except one who snatches [some words] by theft, but they are pursued by a burning flame, piercing [in brightness].
Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun
außer jemandem, der rasch etwas aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
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.
Faistaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teenin lazibin
Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
But you wonder, while they mock,
Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona
Aber nein! Du wunderst dich, während sie spotten.
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
And when they are reminded, they remember not.
Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona
Und wenn sie ermahnt werden, gedenken sie nicht.
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed, -
And when they see a sign, they ridicule
Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona
Und wenn sie ein Zeichen sehen, spotten sie darüber.
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
And say, "This is not but obvious magic.

And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
And our forefathers [as well]?"
Awaabaona alawwaloona
Und auch unsere Vorväter?"
"And also our fathers of old?"
Say, "Yes, and you will be [rendered] contemptible."
Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona
Sag: Ja, und ihr werdet euch demütig verhalten.
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
It will be only one shout, and at once they will be observing.
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein, da schauen sie sogleich hin.
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
They will say, "O woe to us! This is the Day of Recompense."
Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni
Und sie werden sagen: "O wehe uns! Das ist der Tag des Gerichts!"
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
[They will be told], "This is the Day of Judgement which you used to deny."
Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
- "Das ist der Tag der Entscheidung, den ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet.
(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
[The angels will be ordered], "Gather those who committed wrong, their kinds, and what they used to worship
Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoo waazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoona
- (Zu den Engeln des Gerichts wird gesagt:) Versammelt (nun) diejenigen, die Unrecht getan haben, ihre Gattinnen und das, dem sie dienten
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong - doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped -
Other than Allah, and guide them to the path of Hellfire
Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi
anstatt Allahs. Dann leitet sie zum Weg des Höllenbrandes
"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
And stop them; indeed, they are to be questioned."
Waqifoohum innahum masooloona
und stellt sie auf, denn sie werden befragt werden."
"But stop them, for they must be asked:
[They will be asked], "What is [wrong] with you? Why do you not help each other?"
Ma lakum la tanasaroona
- (Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt:) "Was ist mit euch, daß ihr einander nicht unterstützt?"
"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
But they, that Day, are in surrender.
Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona
Nein! Vielmehr ergeben sie sich heute.
Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);
And they will approach one another blaming each other.
Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona

They will say, "Indeed, you used to come at us from the right."
Qaloo innakum kuntum tatoonana AAani alyameeni
Sie sagen: "Ihr kamt doch zu uns (stets) von rechts her'."
They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"
The oppressors will say, "Rather, you [yourselves] were not believers,
Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena
Sie sagen: "Aber nein! Ihr wart ja nicht gläubig.
They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
And we had over you no authority, but you were a transgressing people.
Wama kana lana AAalaykum min sultanin bal kuntum qawman tagheena
Wir aber hatten keine Macht über euch, sondern vielmehr wart ihr Leute, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten.
"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!
So the word of our Lord has come into effect upon us; indeed, we will taste [punishment].
Fahaqqa AAalayna qawlu rabbina inna lathaiqoona
So ist das Wort unseres Herrn gegen uns unvermeidlich fällig geworden. Wir werden bestimmt (die Strafe) kosten.
"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).

Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena
Und so haben wir euch in Verirrung fallen lassen, denn wir waren ja selbst in Verirrung gefallen."
"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."

Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona
Gewiß denn, an jenem Tag werden sie an der(selben) Strafe teilhaben.
Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.
Indeed, that is how We deal with the criminals.
Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena
Gewiß, so verfahren Wir mit den Übeltätern,
Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.
Indeed they, when it was said to them, "There is no deity but Allah," were arrogant
Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona
denn sie pflegten, wenn zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah", sich hochmütig zu verhalten,
For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,
And were saying, "Are we to leave our gods for a mad poet?"
Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin
und sagten: "Sollen wir denn wahrlich unsere Götter verlassen wegen eines besessenen Dichters?"
And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
Rather, the Prophet has come with the truth and confirmed the [previous] messengers.
Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena
Nein! Vielmehr ist er mit der Wahrheit gekommen und hat die Gesandten bestätigt.
Nay! he has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the messengers (before him).
Indeed, you [disbelievers] will be tasters of the painful punishment,
Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi
Ihr werdet bestimmt die schmerzhafte Strafe kosten,
Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty; -
And you will not be recompensed except for what you used to do -
Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona
und euch wird nur das vergolten, was ihr zu tun pflegtet,
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought; -
But not the chosen servants of Allah.

außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah, -

White and delicious to the drinkers;

And they will approach one another, inquiring of each other.
Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona
Sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
Then they will turn to one another and question one another.
A speaker among them will say, "Indeed, I had a companion [on earth]
Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun
Einer von ihnen sagt: "Gewiß, ich hatte einen Gesellen,
One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),
Who would say, 'Are you indeed of those who believe
Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena
der da sagte: .Gehörst du wirklich zu denjenigen, die es für wahr halten?
"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?
That when we have died and become dust and bones, we will indeed be recompensed?'"

He said: "By Allah! thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition!
If not for the favor of my Lord, I would have been of those brought in [to Hell].
Walawla niAAmatu rabbee lakuntu mina almuhdareena
Und ohne die Gnade meines Herrn würde ich nun wahrlich zu den Vorgeführten gehören.
"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!
Then, are we not to die
Afama nahnu bimayyiteena
Werden wir tatsächlich nicht mehr sterben,
"Is it (the case) that we shall not die,
Except for our first death, and we will not be punished?"

außer unserem ersten Tod, und gehören wir tatsächlich nicht zu den Bestraften?"

And We had already sent among them warners.
Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them; -

Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"

Do you call upon Ba'l and leave the best of creators -

Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers?"
Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
And they denied him, so indeed, they will be brought [for punishment],
Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,

Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?

Or did We create the angels as females while they were witnesses?"
Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Unquestionably, it is out of their [invented] falsehood that they say,
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,

And they have claimed between Him and the jinn a lineage, but the jinn have already known that they [who made such claims] will be brought to [punishment].
WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Except the chosen servants of Allah [who do not share in that sin].
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.

So indeed, you [disbelievers] and whatever you worship,

For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
You cannot tempt [anyone] away from Him

könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,

[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
And indeed, the disbelievers used to say,
Wain kanoo layaqooloona
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
And there were those who said,
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"

Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
And Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
That they would certainly be assisted,
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
But when it descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.

But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
And leave them for a time.
Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
And see, for they are going to see.
Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
And peace upon the messengers.

And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
