Chapter 26, 227 verses
Ta, Seen, Meem.
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ta-Sin-Mim. [These letters are one of the miracles of the Qur'an, and none but Allah (Alone) knows their meanings.]
Ta-Sin-Mim.
These are the verses of the clear Book.
These are the Verses of the manifest Book [(this Qur'an), which was promised by Allah in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel), makes things clear].
Dies sind die Zeichen des deutlichen Buches.
Perhaps, [O Muhammad], you would kill yourself with grief that they will not be believers.
It may be that you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) are going to kill yourself with grief, that they do not become believers [in your Risalah (Messengership) i.e. in your Message of Islamic Monotheism].
Vielleicht magst du dich noch selbst umbringen aus Gram (darüber), daß sie nicht gläubig sind.
If We willed, We could send down to them from the sky a sign for which their necks would remain humbled.
If We will, We could send down to them from the heaven a sign, to which they would bend their necks in humility.
Wenn Wir woll(t)en, könn(t)en Wir vom Himmel ein Zeichen auf sie hinabsenden, so daß sich ihre Nacken dauernd davor unterwerfen (würden).
And no revelation comes to them anew from the Most Merciful except that they turn away from it.
And never comes there unto them a Reminder as a recent revelation from the Most Gracious (Allah), but they turn away therefrom.
Keine neuerlich offenbarte Ermahnung kommt zu ihnen vom Allerbarmer, ohne daß sie sich davon abwenden.
For they have already denied, but there will come to them the news of that which they used to ridicule.
So they have indeed denied (the truth - this Qur'an), then the news of what they mocked at will come to them.
Sie haben (sie) ja für Lüge erklärt. So werden zu ihnen die Nachrichten kommen von dem, worüber sie sich lustig zu machen pflegten.
Did they not look at the earth - how much We have produced therein from every noble kind?
Do they not observe the earth - how much of every good kind We cause to grow therein?
Haben sie nicht auf die Erde gesehen, wie viele edle Arten Wir auf ihr haben wachsen lassen?
Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
Verily, in this is an Ayah (proof or sign), yet most of them (polytheists, pagans who do not believe in Resurrection) are not believers.
Darin ist wahrlich ein Zeichen, doch sind die meisten von ihnen nicht gläubig.
And indeed, your Lord - He is the Exalted in Might, the Merciful.
And verily your Lord, He is truly the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful.
Und dein Herr ist fürwahr der Allmächtige und Barmherzige.
And [mention] when your Lord called Moses, [saying], "Go to the wrongdoing people -
And (remember) when your Lord called Musa (Moses) (saying): "Go to the people who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) -
Als dein Herr Musa zurief: "Begib dich zum ungerechten Volk,
The people of Pharaoh. Will they not fear Allah?"
"The people of Fir'aun (Pharaoh): Will they not fear Allah and become righteous?"
zum Volk Fir'auns, ob sie nicht gottesfürchtig sein wollen."
He said, "My Lord, indeed I fear that they will deny me
He said: "My Lord! Verily, I fear that they will belie me,
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich fürchte, daß sie mich der Lüge bezichtigen.
And that my breast will tighten and my tongue will not be fluent, so send for Aaron.
"And my breast straitens, and my tongue expresses not well. So send for Harun (Aaron) (to come along with me).
Auch ist meine Brust beklommen, und meine Zunge ist nicht gelöst. Darum entsende (auch) Harun.
And they have upon me a [claim due to] sin, so I fear that they will kill me."
"And they have a charge of crime against me, and I fear they will kill me."
Und sie haben gegen mich eine Sünde geltend zu machen; so fürchte ich, daß sie mich töten."
[Allah] said, "No. Go both of you with Our signs; indeed, We are with you, listening.
(Allah) said: "Nay! Go you both with Our Signs. Verily We shall be with you, listening.
Er sagte: "Keineswegs! So geht denn beide hin mit Unseren Zeichen. Wir sind mit euch und hören zu.
Go to Pharaoh and say, 'We are the messengers of the Lord of the worlds,
"And go both of you to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), and say: 'We are the Messengers of the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists),
Begebt euch zu Fir'aun und sagt: ,Wir sind der Gesandte des Herrn der Weltenbewohner:
[Commanded to say], "Send with us the Children of Israel."'"
"So allow the Children of Israel to go with us.' "
Lasse die Kinder Isra'ils mit uns gehen'."
[Pharaoh] said, "Did we not raise you among us as a child, and you remained among us for years of your life?
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said [to Musa (Moses)]: "Did we not bring you up among us as a child? And you did dwell many years of your life with us.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Haben wir dich nicht als kleines Kind unter uns aufgezogen, und hast du dich nicht (viele) Jahre deines Lebens unter uns aufgehalten?
And [then] you did your deed which you did, and you were of the ungrateful."
"And you did your deed, which you did (i.e. the crime of killing a man) while you were one of the ingrates."
Und du hast deine Tat, die du (damals) getan hast, verübt und gehörst zu den Undankbaren."
[Moses] said, "I did it, then, while I was of those astray.
Musa (Moses) said: "I did it then, when I was ignorant (as regards my Lord and His Message).
Er sagte: "Ich habe sie da(mals) verübt, als ich (noch) zu den Irregehenden gehörte.
So I fled from you when I feared you. Then my Lord granted me wisdom and prophethood and appointed me [as one] of the messengers.
"So I fled from you when I feared you. But my Lord has granted me Hukm (i.e. religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood), and made me one of the Messengers.
Und so floh ich vor euch, als ich Angst vor euch bekommen hatte. (Doch) dann schenkte mir mein Herr Urteil(skraft) und machte mich zu einem der Gesandten.
And is this a favor of which you remind me - that you have enslaved the Children of Israel?"
"And this is the past favour with which you reproach me: that you have enslaved the Children of Israel."
Ist das (etwa) eine Gunst, die du mir vorhältst, daß du die Kinder lsra'ils geknechtet hast?"
Said Pharaoh, "And what is the Lord of the worlds?"
Fir'aun (Pharaoh) said: "And what is the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists)?"
Fir'aun sagte: "Was ist denn der Herr der Weltenbewohner?"
[Moses] said, "The Lord of the heavens and earth and that between them, if you should be convinced."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "The Lord of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, if you seek to be convinced with certainty."
Er (Musa) sagte: "Der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr überzeugt seid."
[Pharaoh] said to those around him, "Do you not hear?"
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to those around: "Do you not hear (what he says)?"
Er (Fir'aun) sagte zu denjenigen in seiner Umgebung: "Hört ihr nicht zu?"
[Moses] said, "Your Lord and the Lord of your first forefathers."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Your Lord and the Lord of your ancient fathers!"
Er (Musa) sagte: "(Er ist) euer Herr und der Herr eurer Vorväter."
[Pharaoh] said, "Indeed, your 'messenger' who has been sent to you is mad."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Verily, your Messenger who has been sent to you is a madman!"
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Euer Gesandter, der zu euch gesandt wurde, ist fürwahr besessen."
[Moses] said, "Lord of the east and the west and that between them, if you were to reason."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Lord of the east and the west, and all that is between them, if you did but understand!"
Er (Musa) sagte: "(Er ist) der Herr des Ostens und des Westens und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr (nur) begreifen würdet."
[Pharaoh] said, "If you take a god other than me, I will surely place you among those imprisoned."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "If you choose an ilah (god) other than me, I will certainly put you among the prisoners."
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Wenn du dir einen anderen Gott als mich nimmst, werde ich dich ganz gewiß zu einem der Gefangenen machen."
[Moses] said, "Even if I brought you proof manifest?"
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Even if I bring you something manifest (and convincing)?"
Er (Musa) sagte: " Etwa auch, wenn ich dir etwas Deutliches bringe?"
[Pharaoh] said, "Then bring it, if you should be of the truthful."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "Bring it forth then, if you are of the truthful!"
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Dann bringe es her, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst."
So [Moses] threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent manifest.
So [Musa (Moses)] threw his stick, and behold, it was a serpent, manifest.
Da warf er seinen Stock hin, und sogleich war er eine deutliche Schlange.
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white for the observers.
And he drew out his hand, and behold, it was white to all beholders!
Und er zog seine Hand heraus, da war sie weiß für die Betrachter.
[Pharaoh] said to the eminent ones around him, "Indeed, this is a learned magician.
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said to the chiefs around him: "Verily! This is indeed a well-versed sorcerer.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte zu der führenden Schar in seiner Umgebung: "Dieser ist fürwahr ein kenntnisreicher Zauberer,
He wants to drive you out of your land by his magic, so what do you advise?"
"He wants to drive you out of your land by his sorcery: what is it then that you command?"
der euch mit seiner Zauberei aus eurem Land vertreiben will. Was befehlt ihr nun?"
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
They said: "Put him off and his brother (for a while), and send callers to the cities;
Sie sagten: "Stelle ihn und seinen Bruder zurück und schicke in die Städte (Boten), die (die Leute) versammeln,
Who will bring you every learned, skilled magician."
"To bring up to you every well-versed sorcerer."
damit sie dir jeden kenntnisreichen Zauberer herbringen."
So the magicians were assembled for the appointment of a well - known day.
So the sorcerers were assembled at a fixed time on a day appointed.
So wurden die Zauberer auf die festgesetzte Zeit eines (wohl)bekannten Tages versammelt.
And it was said to the people, "Will you congregate
And it was said to the people: "Are you (too) going to assemble?
Und es wurde zu den Menschen gesagt: "Werdet (auch) ihr euch nun wohl versammeln?
That we might follow the magicians if they are the predominant?"
"That we may follow the sorcerers [who were on Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) religion of disbelief] if they are the winners."
Vielleicht werden wir den Zauberern folgen, wenn sie es sind, die siegen."
And when the magicians arrived, they said to Pharaoh, "Is there indeed for us a reward if we are the predominant?"
So when the sorcerers arrived, they said to Fir'aun (Pharaoh): "Will there surely be a reward for us if we are the winners?"
Als die Zauberer kamen, sagten sie zu Fir'aun: "Wir bekommen doch sicher einen Lohn, wenn wir es sind, die siegen?"
He said, "Yes, and indeed, you will then be of those near [to me]."
He said: "Yes, and you shall then verily be of those brought near (to myself)."
Er sagte: "Ja. Und ihr werdet dann also fürwahr zu den Nahegestellten gehören."
Moses said to them, "Throw whatever you will throw."
Musa (Moses) said to them: "Throw what you are going to throw!"
Musa sagte zu ihnen: "Werft hin, was ihr zu werfen habt!"
So they threw their ropes and their staffs and said, "By the might of Pharaoh, indeed it is we who are predominant."
So they threw their ropes and their sticks, and said: "By the might of Fir'aun (Pharaoh), it is we who will certainly win!"
Da warfen sie ihre Stricke und Stöcke hin und sagten: "Bei der Macht Fir'auns, wir werden ganz gewiß Sieger sein."
Then Moses threw his staff, and at once it devoured what they falsified.
Then Musa (Moses) threw his stick, and behold, it swallowed up all that they falsely showed!
So warf Musa seinen Stock hin, und da verschlang er sogleich, was sie vortäuschten.
So the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
And the sorcerers fell down prostrate.
Da warfen sich die Zauberer ehrerbietig nieder.
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).
Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn der Weltenbewohner,
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
"The Lord of Musa (Moses) and Harun (Aaron)."
den Herrn von Musa und Harun."
[Pharaoh] said, "You believed Moses before I gave you permission. Indeed, he is your leader who has taught you magic, but you are going to know. I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will surely crucify you all."
[Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] said: "You have believed in him before I give you leave. Surely, he indeed is your chief, who has taught you magic! So verily, you shall come to know. Verily, I will cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you all."
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Ihr glaubt ihm, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Er ist wahrlich euer Ältester, der euch die Zauberei gelehrt hat. Ihr werdet (es) wahrlich erfahren. Ganz gewiß werde ich eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch al lesamt ganz gewiß kreuzigen (lassen)."
They said, "No harm. Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
They said: "No harm! Surely, to our Lord (Allah) we are to return.
Sie sagten: "Kein Schaden! Wir werden ganz gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren.
Indeed, we aspire that our Lord will forgive us our sins because we were the first of the believers."
"Verily we really hope that our Lord will forgive us our sins, as we are the first of the believers [in Musa (Moses) and in the Monotheism which he has brought from Allah]."
Wir erhoffen ja, daß unser Herr uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe dafür, daß wir die ersten (der) Gläubigen sind."
And We inspired to Moses, "Travel by night with My servants; indeed, you will be pursued."
And We revealed to Musa (Moses), saying: "Depart by night with My slaves, verily you will be pursued."

And indeed, they are enraging us,
"And verily, they have done what has enraged us.

And indeed, we are a cautious society... "
"But we are a host all assembled, amply fore-warned."

So, We expelled them from gardens and springs,

So war es. Und Wir gaben sie den Kindern lsra'ils zum Erbe.
So they pursued them at sunrise.

Dann folgten sie ihnen bei Sonnenaufgang.
And when the two companies saw one another, the companions of Moses said, "Indeed, we are to be overtaken!"
And when the two hosts saw each other, the companions of Musa (Moses) said: "We are sure to be overtaken."
Als die beiden Heere einander sahen, sagten die Gefährten Musas: "Wir werden fürwahr eingeholt."
[Moses] said, "No! Indeed, with me is my Lord; He will guide me."
[Musa (Moses)] said: "Nay, verily with me is my Lord. He will guide me."
Er sagte: "Keineswegs! Denn mit mir ist mein Herr; Er wird mich leiten."
Then We inspired to Moses, "Strike with your staff the sea," and it parted, and each portion was like a great towering mountain.
Then We revealed to Musa (Moses) (saying): "Strike the sea with your stick." And it parted, and each separate part (of that sea water) became like huge mountain.
Da gaben Wir Musa ein: "Schlag mit deinem Stock auf das Meer."

[And he said], "My Lord, grant me authority and join me with the righteous.
My Lord! Bestow Hukm (religious knowledge, right judgement of the affairs and Prophethood) on me, and join me with the righteous.

And disgrace me not on the Day when (all the creatures) will be resurrected.
Und stürze mich nicht in Schande am Tag, da sie auferweckt werden,
The Day when there will not benefit [anyone] wealth or children
The Day whereon neither wealth nor sons will avail,
an dem Tag, da weder Besitz noch Söhne (jemandem) nützen,
But only one who comes to Allah with a sound heart."
Except him who brings to Allah a clean heart [clean from Shirk (polytheism) and Nifaq (hypocrisy)]."
außer, wer zu Allah mit heilem Herzen kommt."
And Paradise will be brought near [that Day] to the righteous.
And Paradise will be brought near to the Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2).
Und der (Paradies)garten wird an die Gottesfürchtigen nahe herangebracht.
And Hellfire will be brought forth for the deviators,

Other than Allah? Can they help you or help themselves?"
"Instead of Allah? Can they help you or (even) help themselves?"
anstatt Allahs? Können sie euch helfen oder sich selbst helfen?"
So they will be overturned into Hellfire, they and the deviators
Then they will be thrown on their faces into the (Fire), they and the Ghawun (devils, and those who were in error).
Dann werden sie kopfüber hineingestürzt, sie und die Verirrten,

When we equated you with the Lord of the worlds.
When We held you (false gods) as equals (in worship) with the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists);
als wir euch dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner gleichsetzten.
And no one misguided us except the criminals.
And none has brought us into error except the Mujrimun [Iblis (Satan) and those of human beings who commit crimes, murderers, polytheists, oppressors].
Es waren nur die Übeltäter, die uns in die Irre geführt haben.
So now we have no intercessors
Now we have no intercessors,
So haben wir nun niemanden, der Fürsprache einlegt,
And not a devoted friend.
Nor a close friend (to help us).
und auch keinen warmherzigen Freund.
Then if we only had a return [to the world] and could be of the believers... "
(Alas!) If we only had a chance to return (to the world), we shall truly be among the believers!

They said: "Shall we believe in you, when the meanest (of the people) follow you?"
Sie sagten: "Sollen wir dir glauben, wo dir (nur) die Niedrigsten folgen?"
He said, "And what is my knowledge of what they used to do?

They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be of those who are stoned."
They said: "If you cease not, O Nuh (Noah) you will surely be among those stoned (to death)."
Sie sagten: "Wenn du nicht aufhörst, o Nuh, wirst du ganz gewiß zu den Gesteinigten gehören."
He said, "My Lord, indeed my people have denied me.
He said: "My Lord! Verily, my people have belied me.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, gewiß mein Volk hat mich der Lüge bezichtigt.
Then judge between me and them with decisive judgement and save me and those with me of the believers."
Therefore judge You between me and them, and save me and those of the believers who are with me."
So triff zwischen mir und ihnen eine klare Entscheidung und errette mich und wer von den Gläubigen mit mir ist."
So We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
And We saved him and those with him in the laden ship.
Da retteten Wir ihn und wer mit ihm war im vollbeladenen Schiff.

And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful,
Und verlasse dich auf den Allmächtigen und Barmherzigen,
Who sees you when you arise
Who sees you (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) when you stand up (alone at night for Tahajjud prayers).
Der dich sieht, wenn du aufrecht stehst,
And your movement among those who prostrate.
And your movements among those who fall prostrate (to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers).
und deine Stellungswechsel unter denjenigen, die sich niederwerfen.
Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
Verily He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
Er ist ja der Allhörende und Allwissende.

Und die Dichter - es folgen ihnen die Verirrten.

See you not that they speak about every subject (praising people - right or wrong) in their poetry?
Siehst du nicht, daß sie in jedem Tal ziellos umherwandern
And that they say what they do not do? -
And that they say what they do not do.
und daß sie sagen, was sie nicht tun?

Except those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah - Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged [by replying back in poetry to the unjust poetry (which the pagan poets utter against the Muslims)].

Außer denjenigen, die glauben, rechtschaffene Werke tun und Allahs häufig gedenken und sich (erst) selbst helfen, nachdem ihnen ja Unrecht zugefügt wurde. Und diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, werden erfahren, was für eine Rückkehr sie haben werden.
