Chapter 25, 77 verses
Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion upon His Servant that he may be to the worlds a warner -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْفُرْقَانَ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِهِ لِيَكُونَ لِلْعَالَمِينَ نَذِيرًا
Segensreich ist Derjenige, Der Seinem Diener die Unterscheidung offenbart hat, damit er für die Weltenbewohner ein Warner sei,
Blessed is He who sent down the criterion to His servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; -
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and who has not taken a son and has not had a partner in dominion and has created each thing and determined it with [precise] determination.
الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَلَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَدًا وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَخَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ فَقَدَّرَهُ تَقْدِيرًا
Er, Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde gehört, Der Sich kein Kind genommen hat und Der keinen Teilhaber an der Herrschaft hat und alles erschaffen und ihm dabei sein rechtes Maß gegeben hat.
He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions.
But they have taken besides Him gods which create nothing, while they are created, and possess not for themselves any harm or benefit and possess not [power to cause] death or life or resurrection.
وَاتَّخَذُوا مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً لَّا يَخْلُقُونَ شَيْئًا وَهُمْ يُخْلَقُونَ وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ لِأَنفُسِهِمْ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا وَلَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتًا وَلَا حَيَاةً وَلَا نُشُورًا
Und sie haben sich außer Ihm Götter genommen, die nichts erschaffen, während sie (selbst) erschaffen werden, und die sich selbst weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermögen und die weder über Tod noch über Leben noch über Auferstehung verfugen.
Yet have they taken, besides him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control death nor life nor resurrection.
And those who disbelieve say, "This [Qur'an] is not except a falsehood he invented, and another people assisted him in it." But they have committed an injustice and a lie.
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا إِفْكٌ افْتَرَاهُ وَأَعَانَهُ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ ۖ فَقَدْ جَاءُوا ظُلْمًا وَزُورًا
Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "Das ist nur eine ungeheuerliche Lüge, die er ersonnen hat und bei der andere Leute ihm geholfen haben." Sie begehen da ja Ungerechtigkeit und Falschaussage.
But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood.
And they say, "Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon."
وَقَالُوا أَسَاطِيرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ اكْتَتَبَهَا فَهِيَ تُمْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ بُكْرَةً وَأَصِيلًا
Und sie sagen: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren, die er sich aufgeschrieben hat'. So werden sie ihm morgens und abends vorgesagt."
And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening."
Say, [O Muhammad], "It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful."
قُلْ أَنزَلَهُ الَّذِي يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ۚ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفُورًا رَّحِيمًا
Sag: Herabgesandt hat ihn Derjenige, Der das Geheime in den Himmeln und auf der Erde kennt. Gewiß, Er ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
Say: "The (Qur'an) was sent down by Him who knows the mystery (that is) in the heavens and the earth: verily He is Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful."
And they say, "What is this messenger that eats food and walks in the markets? Why was there not sent down to him an angel so he would be with him a warner?
وَقَالُوا مَالِ هَٰذَا الرَّسُولِ يَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۙ لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَكُونَ مَعَهُ نَذِيرًا
Und sie sagen: "Was ist mit diesem Gesandten, daß er Speise ißt und auf den Märkten umhergeht? O würde doch zu ihm ein Engel herabgesandt, um mit ihm ein Warner zu sein!
And they say: "What sort of a messenger is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him?
Or [why is not] a treasure presented to him [from heaven], or does he [not] have a garden from which he eats?" And the wrongdoers say, "You follow not but a man affected by magic."
أَوْ يُلْقَىٰ إِلَيْهِ كَنزٌ أَوْ تَكُونُ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا ۚ وَقَالَ الظَّالِمُونَ إِن تَتَّبِعُونَ إِلَّا رَجُلًا مَّسْحُورًا
Oder würde doch zu ihm ein Schatz herabgeworfen, oder hätte er doch einen Garten, von dem er essen könnte!" Und die Ungerechten sagen: "Ihr folgt ja nur ei nem Mann, der einem Zauber verfallen ist."
"Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?" The wicked say: "Ye follow none other than a man bewitched."
Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.
انظُرْ كَيْفَ ضَرَبُوا لَكَ الْأَمْثَالَ فَضَلُّوا فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ سَبِيلًا
Schau, wie sie dir Gleichnisse prägen! Dabei sind sie abgeirrt, und so können sie keinen (Aus)weg mehr (finden).
See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!
Blessed is He who, if He willed, could have made for you [something] better than that - gardens beneath which rivers flow - and could make for you palaces.
تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي إِن شَاءَ جَعَلَ لَكَ خَيْرًا مِّن ذَٰلِكَ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ وَيَجْعَل لَّكَ قُصُورًا
Segensreich ist Derjenige, Der dir, wenn Er will, etwas Besseres als dies zuteilen kann: Gärten, durcheilt von Bächen, und Der dir Schlösser zuteilen kann.
Blessed is He who, if that were His will, could give thee better (things) than those, - Gardens beneath which rivers flow; and He could give thee palaces (secure to dwell in).
But they have denied the Hour, and We have prepared for those who deny the Hour a Blaze.
بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالسَّاعَةِ ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِمَن كَذَّبَ بِالسَّاعَةِ سَعِيرًا
Aber nein! Sie erklären die Stunde für Lüge. Doch haben Wir für diejenigen, die die Stunde für Lüge erklären, eine Feuerglut bereitet.
Nay they deny the hour (of the judgment to come): but We have prepared a blazing fire for such as deny the hour:
When the Hellfire sees them from a distant place, they will hear its fury and roaring.
إِذَا رَأَتْهُم مِّن مَّكَانٍ بَعِيدٍ سَمِعُوا لَهَا تَغَيُّظًا وَزَفِيرًا
Wenn sie sie aus der Ferne sieht, hören sie (bereits) von ihr Grollen und Fauchen.
When it sees them from a place far off, they will hear its fury and its ranging sigh.
And when they are thrown into a narrow place therein bound in chains, they will cry out thereupon for destruction.
وَإِذَا أُلْقُوا مِنْهَا مَكَانًا ضَيِّقًا مُّقَرَّنِينَ دَعَوْا هُنَالِكَ ثُبُورًا
Und wenn sie da in einen engen Ort zusammengebunden geworfen werden, rufen sie dort nach Vernichtung.
And when they are cast, bound together into a constricted place therein, they will plead for destruction there and then!
[They will be told], "Do not cry this Day for one destruction but cry for much destruction."
لَّا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُورًا وَاحِدًا وَادْعُوا ثُبُورًا كَثِيرًا
Ruft heute nicht nach (nur) einer einzigen Vernichtung, sondern ruft nach vielen Vernichtungen!1
"This day plead not for a single destruction: plead for destruction oft - repeated!"
Say, "Is that better or the Garden of Eternity which is promised to the righteous? It will be for them a reward and destination.
قُلْ أَذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ أَمْ جَنَّةُ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ ۚ كَانَتْ لَهُمْ جَزَاءً وَمَصِيرًا
Sag: Ist das besser oder der Garten der Ewigkeit, der den Gottesfürchtigen versprochen ist? Er ist für sie Lohn und Reiseziel.
Say: "Is that best, or the eternal garden, promised to the righteous? for them, that is a reward as well as a goal (of attainment).
For them therein is whatever they wish, [while] abiding eternally. It is ever upon your Lord a promise [worthy to be] requested.
لَّهُمْ فِيهَا مَا يَشَاءُونَ خَالِدِينَ ۚ كَانَ عَلَىٰ رَبِّكَ وَعْدًا مَّسْئُولًا
Sie haben darin, was sie wollen, und werden ewig darin bleiben. Das ist ein für deinen Herrn bindendes Versprechen, nach dem gefragt werden wird.
"For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord."
And [mention] the Day He will gather them and that which they worship besides Allah and will say, "Did you mislead these, My servants, or did they [themselves] stray from the way?"
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ وَمَا يَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ أَأَنتُمْ أَضْلَلْتُمْ عِبَادِي هَٰؤُلَاءِ أَمْ هُمْ ضَلُّوا السَّبِيلَ
Und am Tag, da Er sie und das, dem sie anstatt Allahs dienen, versammeln wird, sagt Er: "Wart ihr es, die diese Meine Diener in die Irre geführt haben, oder sind sie selbst vom Weg abgeirrt?"
The day He will gather them together as well as those whom they worship besides Allah, He will ask: "Was it ye who let these My servants astray, or did they stray from the Path themselves?"
They will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for us to take besides You any allies. But You provided comforts for them and their fathers until they forgot the message and became a people ruined."
قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ مَا كَانَ يَنبَغِي لَنَا أَن نَّتَّخِذَ مِن دُونِكَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَٰكِن مَّتَّعْتَهُمْ وَآبَاءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ نَسُوا الذِّكْرَ وَكَانُوا قَوْمًا بُورًا
Sie werden sagen: "Preis sei Dir! Es ziemte uns nicht, uns anstatt Deiner (andere) Sc,hutzherren zu nehmen. Aber Du ließt sie und ihre Väter genießen, bis sie die Ermahnung vergaßen und zu einem Volk des Niedergangs wurden."
They will say: "Glory to Thee! not meet was it for us that we should take for protectors others besides Thee: But Thou didst bestow, on them and their fathers, good things (in life), until they forgot the Message: for they were a people (worthless and) lost."
So they will deny you, [disbelievers], in what you say, and you cannot avert [punishment] or [find] help. And whoever commits injustice among you - We will make him taste a great punishment.
فَقَدْ كَذَّبُوكُم بِمَا تَقُولُونَ فَمَا تَسْتَطِيعُونَ صَرْفًا وَلَا نَصْرًا ۚ وَمَن يَظْلِم مِّنكُمْ نُذِقْهُ عَذَابًا كَبِيرًا
- "Nun haben sie euch in dem, was ihr sagt, der Lüge bezichtigt. Da könnt ihr weder (etwas) abwenden noch Hilfe erfahren. Und wer von euch Unrecht tut, den lassen Wir große Strafe kosten "
(Allah will say): "Now have they proved you liars in what ye say: so ye cannot avert (your penalty) nor (get) help." And whoever among you does wrong, him shall We cause to taste of a grievous Penalty.
And We did not send before you, [O Muhammad], any of the messengers except that they ate food and walked in the markets. And We have made some of you [people] as trial for others - will you have patience? And ever is your Lord, Seeing.
وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ ۗ وَجَعَلْنَا بَعْضَكُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فِتْنَةً أَتَصْبِرُونَ ۗ وَكَانَ رَبُّكَ بَصِيرًا
Und Wir sandten vor dir keine Gesandten, die nicht Speise aßen und auf den Märkten umhergingen. Und Wir haben die einen von euch zur Versuchung für die anderen gemacht, (um festzustellen,) ob ihr standhaft seid. Und dein Herr sieht sehr wohl (alles).
And the messengers whom We sent before thee were all (men) who ate food and walked through the streets: We have made some of you as a trial for others: will ye have patience? for Allah is One Who sees (all things).
And those who do not expect the meeting with Us say, "Why were not angels sent down to us, or [why] do we [not] see our Lord?" They have certainly become arrogant within themselves and [become] insolent with great insolence.
۞ وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْجُونَ لِقَاءَنَا لَوْلَا أُنزِلَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَوْ نَرَىٰ رَبَّنَا ۗ لَقَدِ اسْتَكْبَرُوا فِي أَنفُسِهِمْ وَعَتَوْا عُتُوًّا كَبِيرًا
Und diejenigen, die nicht die Begegnung mit Uns erwarten, sagen: "O würden doch die Engel auf uns herabgesandt, oder könnten wir doch unseren Herrn sehen!" Sie verhalten sich ja hochmütig in Bezug auf sich selbst, und sie lehnen sich in großer Mißachtung auf.
Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: "Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see our Lord?" Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!
The day they see the angels - no good tidings will there be that day for the criminals, and [the angels] will say, "Prevented and inaccessible."
يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَا بُشْرَىٰ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُجْرِمِينَ وَيَقُولُونَ حِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا
Am Tag, da sie die Engel sehen, an dem Tag wird es für die Übeltäter keine frohe Botschaft geben, und sie werden sagen: "Das sei (euch) verwehrt und versperrt!"
The Day they see the angels, - no joy will there be to the sinners that Day: The (angels) will say: "There is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!"
And We will regard what they have done of deeds and make them as dust dispersed.
وَقَدِمْنَا إِلَىٰ مَا عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْنَاهُ هَبَاءً مَّنثُورًا
Und Wir werden Uns den Werken, die sie getan haben, zuwenden und sie zu verwehtem Staub machen.
And We shall turn to whatever deeds they did (in this life), and We shall make such deeds as floating dust scattered about.
The companions of Paradise, that Day, are [in] a better settlement and better resting place.
أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَيْرٌ مُّسْتَقَرًّا وَأَحْسَنُ مَقِيلًا
Die Insassen des (Paradies)gartens werden an jenem Tag einen besseren Aufenthalt und einen schöneren Ruheplatz haben.
The Companions of the Garden will be well, that Day, in their abode, and have the fairest of places for repose.
And [mention] the Day when the heaven will split open with [emerging] clouds, and the angels will be sent down in successive descent.
وَيَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ السَّمَاءُ بِالْغَمَامِ وَنُزِّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَنزِيلًا
Und am Tag, da sich der Himmel, Wolken hervorbringend, aufspaltet und die Engel eindrucksvoll herabgesandt werden,
The Day the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and angels shall be sent down, descending (in ranks), -
True sovereignty, that Day, is for the Most Merciful. And it will be upon the disbelievers a difficult Day.
الْمُلْكُ يَوْمَئِذٍ الْحَقُّ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ ۚ وَكَانَ يَوْمًا عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ عَسِيرًا
an jenem Tag gehört die Herrschaft, die wahre (Herrschaft) dem Allerbanner, und es wird für die Ungläubigen ein schwerer Tag sein.
That Day, the dominion as of right and truth, shall be (wholly) for (Allah) Most Merciful: it will be a Day of dire difficulty for the misbelievers.
And the Day the wrongdoer will bite on his hands [in regret] he will say, "Oh, I wish I had taken with the Messenger a way.
وَيَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَىٰ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يَا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا
Und an dem Tag wird der Ungerechte sich in die Hände beißen und sagen: "O hätte ich doch mit dem Gesandten einen Weg eingeschlagen!
The Day that the wrong - doer will bite at his hands, he will say, "Oh! would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger!
Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend.
يَا وَيْلَتَىٰ لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا
O wehe mir! Hätte ich doch nicht den Soundso zum Freund genommen!
"Ah! woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend!
He led me away from the remembrance after it had come to me. And ever is Satan, to man, a deserter."
لَّقَدْ أَضَلَّنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي ۗ وَكَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنسَانِ خَذُولًا
Er hat mich ja von der Ermahnung abirren lassen, nachdem sie zu mir gekommen war." Der Satan pflegt den Menschen stets im Stich zu lassen.
"He did lead me astray from the Message (of Allah) after it had come to me! Ah! the Evil One is but a traitor to man!"
And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as [a thing] abandoned."
وَقَالَ الرَّسُولُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ قَوْمِي اتَّخَذُوا هَٰذَا الْقُرْآنَ مَهْجُورًا
Und der Gesandte sagt: "O mein Herr, mein Volk mied diesen Qur'an unter Mißachtung."
Then the Messenger will say: "O my Lord! Truly my people took this Qur'an for just foolish nonsense."
And thus have We made for every prophet an enemy from among the criminals. But sufficient is your Lord as a guide and a helper.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ جَعَلْنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ عَدُوًّا مِّنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ ۗ وَكَفَىٰ بِرَبِّكَ هَادِيًا وَنَصِيرًا
So haben Wir für jeden Propheten einen Feind aus den Reihen der Übeltäter bestellt. Und dein Herr genügt als Führer und Helfer.
Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the sinners: but enough is thy Lord to guide and to help.
And those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Qur'an not revealed to him all at once?" Thus [it is] that We may strengthen thereby your heart. And We have spaced it distinctly.
وَقَالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ عَلَيْهِ الْقُرْآنُ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنُثَبِّتَ بِهِ فُؤَادَكَ ۖ وَرَتَّلْنَاهُ تَرْتِيلًا
Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: "O würde ihm doch der Qur'an als Ganzes offenbart!" So (geschieht es aber), damit Wir dein Herz mit ihm festigen. Und Wir haben ihn wohlgeordnet vorgetragen.
Those who reject Faith say: "Why is not the Qur'an revealed to him all at once? Thus (is it revealed), that We may strengthen thy heart thereby, and We have rehearsed it to thee in slow, well - arranged stages, gradually.
And they do not come to you with an argument except that We bring you the truth and the best explanation.
وَلَا يَأْتُونَكَ بِمَثَلٍ إِلَّا جِئْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَحْسَنَ تَفْسِيرًا
Und sie bringen dir kein Beispiel, ohne daß Wir dir die Wahrheit und eine bessere Erklärung brächten.
And no question do they bring to thee but We reveal to thee the truth and the best explanation (thereof).
The ones who are gathered on their faces to Hell - those are the worst in position and farthest astray in [their] way.
الَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُولَٰئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
Diejenigen, die auf ihren Gesichtern zur Hölle versammelt werden, jene sind in der schlechtesten Lage und sind am weitesten vom (rechten) Weg abgeirrt.
Those who will be gathered to Hell (prone) on their faces, - they will be in an evil plight, and, as to Path, most astray.
And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an assistant.
وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتَابَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُ أَخَاهُ هَارُونَ وَزِيرًا
Und Wir gaben bereits Musa die Schrift und bestellten ihm seinen Bruder Harun, (die Last) mitzutragen.
(Before this,) We sent Moses The Book, and appointed his brother Aaron with him as minister;
And We said, "Go both of you to the people who have denied Our signs." Then We destroyed them with [complete] destruction.
فَقُلْنَا اذْهَبَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا فَدَمَّرْنَاهُمْ تَدْمِيرًا
Da sagten Wir: "Geht zu dem Volk, das Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärt hat." Dann zerstörten Wir sie vollständig.
And We command: "Go ye both, to the people who have rejected our Signs:" And those (people) We destroyed with utter destruction.
And the people of Noah - when they denied the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them for mankind a sign. And We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful punishment.
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ لَّمَّا كَذَّبُوا الرُّسُلَ أَغْرَقْنَاهُمْ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ لِلنَّاسِ آيَةً ۖ وَأَعْتَدْنَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ عَذَابًا أَلِيمًا
Und auch das Volk Nuhs, als sie die Gesandten der Lüge bezichtigten, ließen Wir ertrinken und machten sie für die Menschen zu einem Zeichen. Und Wir haben für die Ungerechten schmerzhafte Strafe bereitet.
And the people of Noah, - when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and We made them as a Sign for mankind; and We have prepared for (all) wrong - doers a grievous Penalty; -
And [We destroyed] 'Aad and Thamud and the companions of the well and many generations between them.
وَعَادًا وَثَمُودَ وَأَصْحَابَ الرَّسِّ وَقُرُونًا بَيْنَ ذَٰلِكَ كَثِيرًا
Und (desgleichen auch) die 'Ad, die Tamud, die Leute von ar-Rass und viele Geschlechter dazwischen.
As also 'Ad and Thamud, and the Companions of the Rass, and many a generation between them.
And for each We presented examples [as warnings], and each We destroyed with [total] destruction.
وَكُلًّا ضَرَبْنَا لَهُ الْأَمْثَالَ ۖ وَكُلًّا تَبَّرْنَا تَتْبِيرًا
(Ihnen) allen prägten Wir Gleichnisse, und (sie) alle zerstörten Wir vollständig.
To each one We set forth Parables and examples; and each one We broke to utter annihilation (for their sins).
And they have already come upon the town which was showered with a rain of evil. So have they not seen it? But they are not expecting resurrection.
وَلَقَدْ أَتَوْا عَلَى الْقَرْيَةِ الَّتِي أُمْطِرَتْ مَطَرَ السَّوْءِ ۚ أَفَلَمْ يَكُونُوا يَرَوْنَهَا ۚ بَلْ كَانُوا لَا يَرْجُونَ نُشُورًا
Sie kamen doch an der Stadt vorbei, auf die der Unheilsregen niederging. Haben sie sie denn nicht gesehen? Nein! Vielmehr erwarten sie keine Auferstehung.
And the (Unbelievers) must indeed have passed by the town on which was rained a shower of evil: did they not then see it (with their own eyes)? But they fear not the Resurrection.
And when they see you, [O Muhammad], they take you not except in ridicule, [saying], "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?
وَإِذَا رَأَوْكَ إِن يَتَّخِذُونَكَ إِلَّا هُزُوًا أَهَٰذَا الَّذِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولًا
Und wenn sie dich sehen, machen sie sich über dich nur lustig: "Ist das derjenige, den Allah als Gesandten geschickt hat?
When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery: "Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?"
He almost would have misled us from our gods had we not been steadfast in [worship of] them." But they are going to know, when they see the punishment, who is farthest astray in [his] way.
إِن كَادَ لَيُضِلُّنَا عَنْ آلِهَتِنَا لَوْلَا أَن صَبَرْنَا عَلَيْهَا ۚ وَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ حِينَ يَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ مَنْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
Beinahe hätte er uns fürwahr von unseren Göttern abirren lassen, wenn wir nicht (beharrlich) an ihnen festgehalten hätten." Sie werden, wenn sie die Strafe sehen, erfahren, wer weiter vom Weg abgeirrt ist.
"He indeed would well - nigh have misled us from our gods, had it not been that we were constant to them!" - Soon will they know, when they see the Penalty, who it is that is most misled in Path!
Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?
أَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُ هَوَاهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا
Was meinst du wohl zu einem, der sich seine Neigung zu seinem Gott nimmt? Würdest du denn Sachwalter über ihn sein können?
Seest thou such a one as taketh for his god his own passion (or impulse)? Couldst thou be a disposer of affairs for him?
Or do you think that most of them hear or reason? They are not except like livestock. Rather, they are [even] more astray in [their] way.
أَمْ تَحْسَبُ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ أَوْ يَعْقِلُونَ ۚ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعَامِ ۖ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا
Oder meinst du, daß die meisten von ihnen hören oder begreifen? Sie sind doch nur wie das Vieh. Aber nein! Sie irren noch weiter vom Weg ab.
Or thinkest thou that most of them listen or understand? They are only like cattle; - nay, they are worse astray in Path.
Have you not considered your Lord - how He extends the shadow, and if He willed, He could have made it stationary? Then We made the sun for it an indication.
أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَلَوْ شَاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ سَاكِنًا ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَا الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا
Siehst du nicht deinen Herrn, wie Er den Schatten lang werden läßt? Wenn Er wollte, würde Er ihn fürwahr stillstehen lassen. Hierauf machen Wir die Sonne zu einem Hinweis auf ihn.
Hast thou not turned thy vision to thy Lord? - How He doth prolong the shadow! If He willed, He could make it stationary! then do We make the sun its guide;
Then We hold it in hand for a brief grasp.
ثُمَّ قَبَضْنَاهُ إِلَيْنَا قَبْضًا يَسِيرًا
Hierauf ziehen Wir ihn leicht zu Uns ein.
Then We draw it in towards Ourselves, - a contraction by easy stages.

And He it is Who sends the winds as heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy, and We send down pure water from the sky, -
That We may bring to life thereby a dead land and give it as drink to those We created of numerous livestock and men.
لِّنُحْيِيَ بِهِ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا وَنُسْقِيَهُ مِمَّا خَلَقْنَا أَنْعَامًا وَأَنَاسِيَّ كَثِيرًا
um damit (manch) totes Land wieder lebendig zu machen und um es Vieh und Menschen in großer Zahl, die Wir erschaffen haben, zu trinken zu geben.

وَلَقَدْ صَرَّفْنَاهُ بَيْنَهُمْ لِيَذَّكَّرُوا فَأَبَىٰ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ إِلَّا كُفُورًا
Und Wir verteilen es ja unter ihnen auf verschiedene Weise, damit sie bedenken. Aber die meisten Menschen weisen (alles) zurück außer dem Unglauben.
And We have distributed the (water) amongst them, in order that they may celebrate (our) praises, but most men are averse (to aught) but (rank) ingratitude.
And if We had willed, We could have sent into every city a warner.

Wenn Wir wollten, würden Wir wahrlich in jeder Stadt einen Warner erstehen lassen.
Had it been Our Will, We could have sent a warner to every centre of population.
So do not obey the disbelievers, and strive against them with the Qur'an a great striving.

And it is He who has released [simultaneously] the two seas, one fresh and sweet and one salty and bitter, and He placed between them a barrier and prohibiting partition.
۞ وَهُوَ الَّذِي مَرَجَ الْبَحْرَيْنِ هَٰذَا عَذْبٌ فُرَاتٌ وَهَٰذَا مِلْحٌ أُجَاجٌ وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَرْزَخًا وَحِجْرًا مَّحْجُورًا

But they worship rather than Allah that which does not benefit them or harm them, and the is ever, against his Lord, an assistant [to Satan].
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُهُمْ وَلَا يَضُرُّهُمْ ۗ وَكَانَ الْكَافِرُ عَلَىٰ رَبِّهِ ظَهِيرًا
Aber sie dienen anstatt Allahs, was ihnen weder nützt noch schadet. Und der Ungläubige leistet stets Beistand gegen seinen Herrn.
Yet do they worship, besides Allah, things that can neither profit them nor harm them: and the Misbeliever is a helper (of Evil), against his own Lord!

But thee We only sent to give glad tidings and admonition.

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord."
And rely upon the Ever - Living who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted -
وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِ خَبِيرًا

الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَىٰ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ ۚ الرَّحْمَٰنُ فَاسْأَلْ بِهِ خَبِيرًا

Und wenn zu ihnen gesagt wird: "Werft euch vor dem Allerbarmer nieder" sagen sie: "Was ist denn der Allerbarmer? Sollen wir uns (einfach) vor dem niederwerfen, was du uns befiehlst?" Und das mehrt ihnen (nur) die Abneigung.
When it is said to them, "Prostrate to (Allah) Most Gracious!", they say, "And what is (Allah) Most Gracious? Shall we prostrate to that which thou commandest us?" And it increases their flight (from the Truth).
