Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
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,

Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

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

Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
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].

Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
Exalted is Allah above what they describe,
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!

And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona

Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."

And there were those who said,
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena

Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
That they would certainly be assisted,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.

Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?

Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena
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
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab

Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
