By the clear Book,
Bei dem deutlichen Buch!
By the Scripture which maketh plain,
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Indeed, We have made it an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
Wir haben es ja zu einem arabischen Qur'an gemacht, auf daß ihr begreifen möget;
Lo! We have appointed it a Lecture, in Arabic that haply ye may understand.
إِنَّا جَعَلْنَٰهُ قُرْءَٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ
And indeed it is, in the Mother of the Book with Us, exalted and full of wisdom.
und gewiß, er ist in der Urschrift des Buches bei Uns wahrlich erhaben und weise.
And Lo! in the Source of Decrees, which We possess, it is indeed sublime, decisive.
وَإِنَّهُۥ فِىٓ أُمِّ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ لَدَيْنَا لَعَلِىٌّ حَكِيمٌ
Then should We turn the message away, disregarding you, because you are a transgressing people?
Sollen Wir denn euch bei der Ermahnung unbeachtet lassen, weil ihr maßlose Leute seid?
Shall We utterly ignore you because ye are a wanton folk ?
أَفَنَضْرِبُ عَنكُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَ صَفْحًا أَن كُنتُمْ قَوْمًا مُّسْرِفِينَ
And how many a prophet We sent among the former peoples,
Und wie viele Propheten haben Wir zu den früheren Geschlechtern gesandt!
How many a prophet did We send among the men of old!
وَكَمْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن نَّبِىٍّ فِى ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
But there would not come to them a prophet except that they used to ridicule him.
Und kein Gesandter kam zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig gemacht hätten.
And never came there unto them a prophet but they used to mock him.
وَمَا يَأْتِيهِم مِّن نَّبِىٍّ إِلَّا كَانُوا۟ بِهِۦ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ
And We destroyed greater than them in [striking] power, and the example of the former peoples has preceded.
So haben Wir solche vernichtet, die eine stärkere Gewalt hatten als diese. Und vollzogen hat sich das Beispiel an den Früheren.
Then We destroyed men mightier than these in prowess; and the example of the men of old hath gone (before them).
فَأَهْلَكْنَآ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُم بَطْشًا وَمَضَىٰ مَثَلُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
And if you should ask them, "Who has created the heavens and the earth?" they would surely say, "They were created by the Exalted in Might, the Knowing."
Und wenn du sie fragst, wer die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Erschaffen hat sie der Allmächtige und Allwissende,"
And if thou (Muhammad) ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer: The Mighty, the Knower created them;
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ خَلَقَهُنَّ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
[The one] who has made for you the earth a bed and made for you upon it roads that you might be guided
Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und euch auf ihr Wege gemacht hat, auf daß ihr rechtgeleitet werden möget,
Who made the earth a resting - place for you, and placed roads for you therein, that haply ye may find your way;
ٱلَّذِى جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سُبُلًا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And who sends down rain from the sky in measured amounts, and We revive thereby a dead land - thus will you be brought forth -
und Der Wasser vom Himmel in (bestimmtem) Maß herabkommen läßt. Damit lassen Wir (manch) totes Land auferstehen. So werdet auch ihr hervorgebracht werden -,
And Who sendeth down water from the sky in (due) measure, and We revive a dead land therewith. Even so will ye be brought forth;
وَٱلَّذِى نَزَّلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءًۢ بِقَدَرٍ فَأَنشَرْنَا بِهِۦ بَلْدَةً مَّيْتًا كَذَٰلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ
And who created the species, all of them, and has made for you of ships and animals those which you mount.
und Der die Paare alle erschaffen und euch an Schiffen und Vieh gemacht hat, was ihr besteigen könnt,
He Who created all the pairs, and appointed for you ships and cattle whereupon ye ride.
وَٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلْأَزْوَٰجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْفُلْكِ وَٱلْأَنْعَٰمِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ
That you may settle yourselves upon their backs and then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say. "Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it.
damit ihr euch auf ihren Rücken zurechtsetzt und hierauf der Gunst eures Herrn gedenkt, wenn ihr euch darauf zurechtgesetzt habt, und sagt: "Preis sei demjenigen, Der uns dies dienstbar gemacht hat! Wir wären hierzu ja nicht imstande gewesen.
That ye may mount upon their backs, and may remember your Lord's favour when ye mount thereon, and may say: Glorified be He Who hath subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them);
لِتَسْتَوُۥا۟ عَلَىٰ ظُهُورِهِۦ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا۟ نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا ٱسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا۟ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱلَّذِى سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَٰذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُۥ مُقْرِنِينَ
And indeed we, to our Lord, will [surely] return."
Und wir werden ganz gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren."
And lo! unto our Lord we surely are returning.
وَإِنَّآ إِلَىٰ رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ
But they have attributed to Him from His servants a portion. Indeed, man is clearly ungrateful.
Und sie stellen Ihm einen Teil von Seinen Dienern (als Seinesgleichen zur Seite). Der Mensch ist ja offenkundig sehr undankbar.
And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen! Lo! man is verily a mere ingrate.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ لَهُۥ مِنْ عِبَادِهِۦ جُزْءًا إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَكَفُورٌ مُّبِينٌ
Or has He taken, out of what He has created, daughters and chosen you for [having] sons?
Oder hat Er sich etwa unter Seinen Geschöpfen Töchter genommen und für euch die Söhne erwählt?
Or chooseth He daughters of all that He hath created, and honoureth He you with sons ?
أَمِ ٱتَّخَذَ مِمَّا يَخْلُقُ بَنَاتٍ وَأَصْفَىٰكُم بِٱلْبَنِينَ
And when one of them is given good tidings of that which he attributes to the Most Merciful in comparison, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief.
Wenn einem von ihnen die frohe Botschaft (von der Geburt) dessen verkündet wird, was er dem Allerbarmer zum Gleichnis zuschreibt, bleibt sein Gesicht finster, und er hält (seinen Grimm) zurück.
And if one of them hath tidings of that which he likeneth to the Beneficent One, his countenance becometh black and he is full of inward rage.
وَإِذَا بُشِّرَ أَحَدُهُم بِمَا ضَرَبَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ مَثَلًا ظَلَّ وَجْهُهُۥ مُسْوَدًّا وَهُوَ كَظِيمٌ
So is one brought up in ornaments while being during conflict unevident [attributed to Allah]?
(Wollen sie Allah) denn jemanden (zuschreiben), der im Schmuck aufgezogen wird und im Streit nicht deutlich wird?
(Liken they then to Allah) that which is bred up in outward show, and in dispute cannot make itself plain ?
أَوَمَن يُنَشَّؤُا۟ فِى ٱلْحِلْيَةِ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْخِصَامِ غَيْرُ مُبِينٍ
And they have made the angels, who are servants of the Most Merciful, females. Did they witness their creation? Their testimony will be recorded, and they will be questioned.
Und sie machen die Engel, die sie ja Diener des Allerbarmers sind, zu weiblichen Wesen. Waren sie denn Zeugen ihrer Erschaffung? Ihr Zeugnis wird aufgeschrieben, und sie werden befragt werden.
And they make the angels, who are the slaves of the Beneficent, females. Did they witness their creation ? Their testimony will be recorded and they will be questioned.
وَجَعَلُوا۟ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةَ ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عِبَٰدُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ إِنَٰثًا أَشَهِدُوا۟ خَلْقَهُمْ سَتُكْتَبُ شَهَٰدَتُهُمْ وَيُسْـَٔلُونَ
And they said, "If the Most Merciful had willed, we would not have worshipped them." They have of that no knowledge. They are not but falsifying.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn der Allerbarmer gewollt hätte, hätten wir ihnen nicht gedient." Sie haben kein Wissen davon; sie stellen nur Schätzungen an.
And they say: If the Beneficent One had (so) willed, we should not have worshipped them. They have no knowledge whatsoever of that. They do but guess.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْ شَآءَ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ مَا عَبَدْنَٰهُم مَّا لَهُم بِذَٰلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا يَخْرُصُونَ
Or have We given them a book before the Qur'an to which they are adhering?
Oder haben Wir ihnen etwa vor ihm eine Schrift gegeben, an der sie sich festhalten könnten?
Or have We given them any scripture before (this Qur'an) so that they are holding fast thereto ?
أَمْ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ كِتَٰبًا مِّن قَبْلِهِۦ فَهُم بِهِۦ مُسْتَمْسِكُونَ
Rather, they say, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are in their footsteps [rightly] guided."
Nein! Vielmehr sagen sie: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer (bestimmten) Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren sind wir rechtgeleitet."
Nay, for they say only: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are guided by their footprints.
بَلْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّهْتَدُونَ
And similarly, We did not send before you any warner into a city except that its affluent said, "Indeed, we found our fathers upon a religion, and we are, in their footsteps, following."
So haben Wir (auch) vor dir in eine Stadt keinen Warner gesandt, ohne daß diejenigen, die in ihr üppig lebten, gesagt hätten: "Wir haben ja (bereits) unsere Väter in einer bestimmten Glaubensrichtung vorgefunden, und auf ihren Spuren folgen wir ihrem Vorbild."
And even so We sent not a warner before thee (Muhammad) into any township but its luxurious ones said: Lo! we found our fathers following a religion, and we are following their footprints.
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ فِى قَرْيَةٍ مِّن نَّذِيرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ مُتْرَفُوهَآ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَآ ءَابَآءَنَا عَلَىٰٓ أُمَّةٍ وَإِنَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَٰرِهِم مُّقْتَدُونَ
[Each warner] said, "Even if I brought you better guidance than that [religion] upon which you found your fathers?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which you were sent, are disbelievers."
Er sagte: "Etwa auch, wenn ich euch bringe, was eine bessere Rechtleitung enthält als das, worin ihr eure Väter vorgefunden habt?" Sie sagten: "Wir verleugnen ja das, womit ihr gesandt worden seid."
(And the warner) said: What! Even though I bring you better guidance than that ye found your fathers following ? They answered: Lo! in what ye bring we are disbelievers.
قَٰلَ أَوَلَوْ جِئْتُكُم بِأَهْدَىٰ مِمَّا وَجَدتُّمْ عَلَيْهِ ءَابَآءَكُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّا بِمَآ أُرْسِلْتُم بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
So we took retribution from them; then see how was the end of the deniers.
Da übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung. So schau, wie das Ende der Leugner war.
So We requited them. Then see the nature of the consequence for the rejecters!
فَٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَٱنظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham said to his father and his people, "Indeed, I am disassociated from that which you worship
Und als Ibrahim zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Gewiß, ich sage mich los von dem, dem ihr dient,
And when Abraham said unto his father and his folk: Lo! I am innocent of what ye worship
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِيمُ لِأَبِيهِ وَقَوْمِهِۦٓ إِنَّنِى بَرَآءٌ مِّمَّا تَعْبُدُونَ
Except for He who created me; and indeed, He will guide me."
außer Demjenigen, Der mich erschaffen hat; denn Er wird mich gewiß rechtleiten."
Save Him Who did create me, for He will surely guide me.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِى فَطَرَنِى فَإِنَّهُۥ سَيَهْدِينِ
And he made it a word remaining among his descendants that they might return [to it].
Und er machte es zu einem bleibenden Wort unter seinen Nachkommen, auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
And he made it a word enduring among his seed, that haply they might return.
وَجَعَلَهَا كَلِمَةًۢ بَاقِيَةً فِى عَقِبِهِۦ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
However, I gave enjoyment to these [people of Makkah] and their fathers until there came to them the truth and a clear Messenger.
Aber nein! Ich habe diese da und ihre Väter genießen lassen, bis die Wahrheit und ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen gekommen ist.
Nay, but I let these and their fathers enjoy life (only) till there should come unto them the Truth and a messenger making plain.
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
But when the truth came to them, they said, "This is magic, and indeed we are, concerning it, disbelievers."
Als nun die Wahrheit zu ihnen gekommen ist, sagen sie: "Das ist Zauberei, und wir verleugnen ihn."
And now that the Truth hath come unto them they say: This is mere magic, and lo! we are disbelievers therein.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ قَالُوا۟ هَٰذَا سِحْرٌ وَإِنَّا بِهِۦ كَٰفِرُونَ
And they said, "Why was this Qur'an not sent down upon a great man from [one of] the two cities?"
Und sie sagen: "Wäre doch dieser Qur'an einem bedeutenden Mann aus den beiden Städten offenbart worden!"
And they say: If only this Qur'an had been revealed to some great man of the two towns ?
وَقَالُوا۟ لَوْلَا نُزِّلَ هَٰذَا ٱلْقُرْءَانُ عَلَىٰ رَجُلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْقَرْيَتَيْنِ عَظِيمٍ
Do they distribute the mercy of your Lord? It is We who have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of this world and have raised some of them above others in degrees [of rank] that they may make use of one another for service. But the mercy of your Lord is better than whatever they accumulate.
Verteilen etwa sie die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn? Wir verteilen doch unter ihnen ihren Lebensunterhalt im diesseitigen Leben und erhöhen die einen von ihnen über die anderen um Rangstufen, damit die einen von ihnen die anderen in Dienst nehmen. Aber die Barmherzigkeit deines Herrn ist besser als das, was sie zusammentragen.
Is it they who apportion thy Lord's mercy ? We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world, and raised some of them above others in rank that some of them may take labour from others; and the mercy of thy Lord is better than (the wealth) that they amass.
أَهُمْ يَقْسِمُونَ رَحْمَتَ رَبِّكَ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَرَفَعْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجَٰتٍ لِّيَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُهُم بَعْضًا سُخْرِيًّا وَرَحْمَتُ رَبِّكَ
And if it were not that the people would become one community [of disbelievers], We would have made for those who disbelieve in the Most Merciful - for their houses - ceilings and stairways of silver upon which to mount
Und damit die Menschen nicht eine einzige Gemeinschaft werden (, sahen Wir davon ab, sonst), hätten Wir wahrlich denjenigen, die den Allerbarmer verleugnen, für ihre Häuser Decken aus Silber gemacht und (auch) Treppen, auf denen sie hätten hochsteigen können,
And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount,
وَلَوْلَآ أَن يَكُونَ ٱلنَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَٰحِدَةً لَّجَعَلْنَا لِمَن يَكْفُرُ بِٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ سُقُفًا مِّن فِضَّةٍ وَمَعَارِجَ عَلَيْهَا يَظْهَرُونَ
And for their houses - doors and couches [of silver] upon which to recline
und Türen für ihre Häuser, und Liegen, auf denen sie sich lehnen können,
And for their houses doors (of silver) and couches of silver whereon to recline,
وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ أَبْوَٰبًا وَسُرُرًا عَلَيْهَا يَتَّكِـُٔونَ
And gold ornament. But all that is not but the enjoyment of worldly life. And the Hereafter with your Lord is for the righteous.
und (weitere) Zierde. All das ist aber nur Nießbrauch des diesseitigen Lebens. Das Jenseits bei deinem Herrn ist jedoch für die Gottesfürchtigen (bestimmt).
And ornaments of gold. Yet all that would have been but a provision of the life of the world. And the Hereafter with your Lord would have been for those who keep from evil.
وَزُخْرُفًا وَإِن كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمَّا مَتَٰعُ ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And whoever is blinded from remembrance of the Most Merciful - We appoint for him a devil, and he is to him a companion.
Wer für die Ermahnung des Allerbarmers blind ist, dem verschaffen Wir einen Satan, der ihm dann zum Gesellen wird.
And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade;
وَمَن يَعْشُ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ نُقَيِّضْ لَهُۥ شَيْطَٰنًا فَهُوَ لَهُۥ قَرِينٌ
And indeed, the devils avert them from the way [of guidance] while they think that they are [rightly] guided
Und sie halten sie wahrlich vom Weg ab, und diese meinen, sie seien rechtgeleitet.
And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided;
وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَصُدُّونَهُمْ عَنِ ٱلسَّبِيلِ وَيَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Until, when he comes to Us [at Judgement], he says [to his companion], "Oh, I wish there was between me and you the distance between the east and west - how wretched a companion."
Wenn er dann (schließlich) zu Uns kommt, sagt er: "O wäre doch zwischen mir und dir eine Entfernung wie zwischen Osten und Westen !" - ein schlimmer Geselle!
Till, when he cometh unto Us, he saith (unto his comrade): Ah, would that between me and thee there were the distance of the two horizons - an evil comrade!
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَنَا قَالَ يَٰلَيْتَ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ ٱلْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ ٱلْقَرِينُ
And never will it benefit you that Day, when you have wronged, that you are [all] sharing in the punishment.
Heute wird euch, da ihr Unrecht getan habt, nicht nützen, daß ihr an demselben) Strafe teilhabt.
And it profiteth you not this day, because ye did wrong, that ye will be sharers in the doom.
وَلَن يَنفَعَكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ إِذ ظَّلَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ مُشْتَرِكُونَ
Then will you make the deaf hear, [O Muhammad], or guide the blind or he who is in clear error?
Bist du es etwa, der die Tauben hören läßt oder die Blinden und diejenigen recht leitet, die sich in deutlichem Irrtum befinden?
Canst thou (Muhammad) make the deaf to hear, or canst thou guide the blind or him who is in error manifest ?
أَفَأَنتَ تُسْمِعُ ٱلصُّمَّ أَوْ تَهْدِى ٱلْعُمْىَ وَمَن كَانَ فِى ضَلَٰلٍ مُّبِينٍ
And whether [or not] We take you away [in death], indeed, We will take retribution upon them.
Sollten Wir dich (vorher) fortnehmen, so werden Wir (doch) an ihnen Vergeltung üben.
And if We take thee away, We surely shall take vengeance on them,
فَإِمَّا نَذْهَبَنَّ بِكَ فَإِنَّا مِنْهُم مُّنتَقِمُونَ
Or whether [or not] We show you that which We have promised them, indeed, We are Perfect in Ability.
Oder Wir zeigen dir, was Wir ihnen angedroht haben; so haben Wir ja ganz die Macht über sie.
Or (if) We show thee that wherewith We threaten them; for lo! We have complete command of them.
أَوْ نُرِيَنَّكَ ٱلَّذِى وَعَدْنَٰهُمْ فَإِنَّا عَلَيْهِم مُّقْتَدِرُونَ
So adhere to that which is revealed to you. Indeed, you are on a straight path.
Halte also fest an dem, was dir (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden ist; gewiß, du befindest dich auf einem geraden Weg.
So hold thou fast to that which is inspired in thee. Lo! thou art on a right path.
فَٱسْتَمْسِكْ بِٱلَّذِىٓ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ صِرَٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ
And indeed, it is a remembrance for you and your people, and you [all] are going to be questioned.
Das ist wahrlich eine Ermahnung für dich und dein Volk. Und ihr werdet befragt werden.
And lo! it is in truth a Reminder for thee and for thy folk; and ye will be questioned.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذِكْرٌ لَّكَ وَلِقَوْمِكَ وَسَوْفَ تُسْـَٔلُونَ
And ask those We sent before you of Our messengers; have We made besides the Most Merciful deities to be worshipped?
Und frage wen von Unseren Gesandten Wir vor dir gesandt haben, ob Wir anstatt des Allerbarmers (andere) Götter eingesetzt haben, denen man dienen soll.
And ask those of Our messengers whom We sent before thee: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped beside the Beneficent ?
وَسْـَٔلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ مِن رُّسُلِنَآ أَجَعَلْنَا مِن دُونِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ءَالِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ
And certainly did We send Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, and he said, "Indeed, I am the messenger of the Lord of the worlds."
Und Wir sandten bereits Musa mit Unseren Zeichen zu Fir'aun und seiner führenden Schar. Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin der Gesandte des Herrn der Weltenbewohner."
And verily We sent Moses with Our revelations unto Pharaoh and his chiefs, and he said: I am a messenger of the Lord of the Worlds.
وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا مُوسَىٰ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ فَقَالَ إِنِّى رَسُولُ رَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
But when he brought them Our signs, at once they laughed at them.
Als er nun zu ihnen mit Unseren Zeichen kam, lachten sie sogleich über sie.
But when he brought them Our tokens, behold! they laughed at them.
فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُم بِـَٔايَٰتِنَآ إِذَا هُم مِّنْهَا يَضْحَكُونَ
And We showed them not a sign except that it was greater than its sister, and We seized them with affliction that perhaps they might return [to faith].
Und Wir zeigten ihnen kein Zeichen, das nicht größer gewesen wäre als das vorhergehende. Und Wir ergriffen sie mit der Strafe, auf daß sie umkehren mochten.
And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again.
وَمَا نُرِيهِم مِّنْ ءَايَةٍ إِلَّا هِىَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ أُخْتِهَا وَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِٱلْعَذَابِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ
And they said [to Moses], "O magician, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. Indeed, we will be guided."
Und sie sagten: "O du Zauberer, rufe für uns deinen Herrn an auf Grund dessen, was Er dir anvertraut hat, dann werden wir uns wahrlich rechtleiten lassen."
And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright.
وَقَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَيُّهَ ٱلسَّاحِرُ ٱدْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ بِمَا عَهِدَ عِندَكَ إِنَّنَا لَمُهْتَدُونَ
But when We removed from them the affliction, at once they broke their word.
Als Wir dann die Strafe von ihnen hinwegnahmen, da brachen sie sogleich ihr Wort.
But when We eased them of the torment, behold! they broke their word.
فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ إِذَا هُمْ يَنكُثُونَ
And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?
Und Fir'aun ließ unter seinem Volk ausrufen; er sagte: "O mein Volk, gehört mir nicht die Herrschaft über Ägypten und (auch) diese Flüsse, die unter mir strömen? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?
And Pharaoh caused a proclamation to be made among his people saying: O my people! Is not mine the sovereignty of Egypt and these rivers flowing under me ? Can ye not then discern ?
وَنَادَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ فِى قَوْمِهِۦ قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَلَيْسَ لِى مُلْكُ مِصْرَ وَهَٰذِهِ ٱلْأَنْهَٰرُ تَجْرِى مِن تَحْتِىٓ أَفَلَا تُبْصِرُونَ
Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?
Oder bin ich nicht besser als dieser, der verächtlich ist und sich kaum deutlich äußern kann?
I am surely better than this fellow, who is despicable and can hardly make (his meaning) plain!
أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"
Würden doch Armringe aus Gold auf ihn herabgeworfen oder die Engel mit ihm als Begleitung kommen!"
Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him ?
فَلَوْلَآ أُلْقِىَ عَلَيْهِ أَسْوِرَةٌ مِّن ذَهَبٍ أَوْ جَآءَ مَعَهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ مُقْتَرِنِينَ
So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of Allah].
Er fand sein Volk leicht (zu beeinflussen), und da gehorchten sie ihm. Gewiß, sie waren ein Volk von Frevlern.
Thus he persuaded his people to make light (of Moses), and they obeyed him. Lo! they were a wanton folk.
فَٱسْتَخَفَّ قَوْمَهُۥ فَأَطَاعُوهُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ
And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.
Als sie Uns Kummer bereiteten, übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung, und so ließen Wir sie allesamt ertrinken.
So, when they angered Us, We punished them and drowned them every one.
فَلَمَّآ ءَاسَفُونَا ٱنتَقَمْنَا مِنْهُمْ فَأَغْرَقْنَٰهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.
Wir machten sie zu Vorgängern und zu einem Beispiel für die späteren (Geschlechter).
And We made them a thing past, and an example for those after (them).
فَجَعَلْنَٰهُمْ سَلَفًا وَمَثَلًا لِّلْءَاخِرِينَ
And when the son of Mary was presented as an example, immediately your people laughed aloud.
Und als der Sohn Maryams als Beispiel angeführt wurde, da brach dein Volk sogleich in Geschrei aus.
And when the son of Mary is quoted as an example, behold! the folk laugh out,
وَلَمَّا ضُرِبَ ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذَا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ
And they said, "Are your gods better, or is he?" They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.
Und sie sagten: "Sind unsere Götter besser oder er?" Sie führten ihn dir nur zum Streiten an. Nein! Vielmehr sind sie streitsüchtige Leute.
And say: Are our gods better, or is he ? They raise not the objection save for argument. Nay! but they are a contentious folk.
وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ
Jesus was not but a servant upon whom We bestowed favor, and We made him an example for the Children of Israel.
Er ist nur ein Diener, dem Wir Gunst erwiesen und den Wir zu einem Beispiel für die Kinder Isra'ils gemacht haben.
He is nothing but a slave on whom We bestowed favour, and We made him a pattern for the Children of Israel.
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَجَعَلْنَٰهُ مَثَلًا لِّبَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ
And if We willed, We could have made [instead] of you angels succeeding [one another] on the earth.
Und wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir euch wahrlich zu Engeln machen, die zu Statthaltern auf der Erde würden.
And had We willed We could have set among you angels to be viceroys in the earth.
وَلَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَا مِنكُم مَّلَٰٓئِكَةً فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ
And indeed, Jesus will be [a sign for] knowledge of the Hour, so be not in doubt of it, and follow Me. This is a straight path.
Und er ist wahrlich Wissen von der Stunde (des Gerichts)'. So hegt ja keinen Zweifel an ihr und folgt mir. Das ist ein gerader Weg.
And lo! verily there is knowledge of the Hour. So doubt ye not concerning it, but follow Me. This is the right path.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَعِلْمٌ لِّلسَّاعَةِ فَلَا تَمْتَرُنَّ بِهَا وَٱتَّبِعُونِ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
And never let Satan avert you. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy.
Und der Satan soll euch ja nicht abhalten. Gewiß, er ist euch ein deutlicher Feind.
And let not Satan turn you aside. Lo! he is an open enemy for you.
وَلَا يَصُدَّنَّكُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنُ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
And when Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come to you with wisdom and to make clear to you some of that over which you differ, so fear Allah and obey me.
Und als 'Isa mit den klaren Beweisen kam, sagte er: "Ich komme ja zu euch mit der Weisheit, und um euch einiges von dem klarzumachen, worüber ihr uneinig seid. So fürchtet Allah und gehorcht mir.
When Jesus came with clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty), he said: I have come unto you with wisdom, and to make plain some of that concerning which ye differ. So keep your duty to Allah, and obey me.
وَلَمَّا جَآءَ عِيسَىٰ بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكُم بِٱلْحِكْمَةِ وَلِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُم بَعْضَ ٱلَّذِى تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ فَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Indeed, Allah is my Lord and your Lord, so worship Him. This is a straight path."
Gewiß, Allah ist ja mein Herr und euer Herr; so dient Ihm. Das ist ein gerader Weg."
Lo! Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. This is a right path.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ رَبِّى وَرَبُّكُمْ فَٱعْبُدُوهُ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ
But the denominations from among them differed [and separated], so woe to those who have wronged from the punishment of a painful Day.
Doch wurden die Gruppierungen untereinander uneinig; so wehe denjenigen, die Unrecht tun, vor der Strafe eines schmerzhaften Tages!
But the factions among them differed. Then woe unto those who do wrong from the doom of a painful day.
فَٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلْأَحْزَابُ مِنۢ بَيْنِهِمْ فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمٍ أَلِيمٍ
Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?
Erwarten sie nur die Stunde, daß sie plötzlich über sie kommt, ohne daß sie merken?
Await they aught save the Hour, that it shall come upon them suddenly, when they know not ?
هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous
Die Freunde werden an jenem Tag einer des anderen Feind sein, außer den Gottesfürchtigen.
Friends on that day will be foes one to another, save those who kept their duty (to Allah).
ٱلْأَخِلَّآءُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
[To whom Allah will say], "O My servants, no fear will there be concerning you this Day, nor will you grieve,
"O meine Diener, keine Furcht soll heute über euch kommen, noch sollt ihr traurig sein,
O My slaves! For you there is no fear this day, nor is it ye who grieve;
يَٰعِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْيَوْمَ وَلَآ أَنتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ
[You] who believed in Our verses and were Muslims.
(ihr,) die ihr an Unsere Zeichen glaubtet und (Allah) ergeben wart.
(Ye) who believed Our revelations and were self - surrendered,
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا وَكَانُوا۟ مُسْلِمِينَ
Enter Paradise, you and your kinds, delighted."
Geht in den (Paradies)garten ein, euch und euren Gattinnen wird Freude bereitet."
Enter the Garden, ye and your wives, to be made glad.
ٱدْخُلُوا۟ ٱلْجَنَّةَ أَنتُمْ وَأَزْوَٰجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ
Circulated among them will be plates and vessels of gold. And therein is whatever the souls desire and [what] delights the eyes, and you will abide therein eternally.
Es werden ihnen Schüsseln aus Gold und Trinkschalen herumgereicht; darin gibt es, was die Seelen begehren und köstlich für die Augen ist. "Und ewig werdet ihr darin bleiben.
Therein are brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that souls desire and eyes find sweet. And ye are immortal therein.
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ ٱلْأَنفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ ٱلْأَعْيُنُ وَأَنتُمْ فِيهَا خَٰلِدُونَ
And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do.
Das ist der (Paradies)garten, der euch zum Erbe gegeben worden ist für das, was ihr zu tun pflegtet.
This is the Garden which ye are made to inherit because of what ye used to do.
وَتِلْكَ ٱلْجَنَّةُ ٱلَّتِىٓ أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
For you therein is much fruit from which you will eat.
Darin habt ihr vielerlei Früchte, von denen ihr eßt."
Therein for you is fruit in plenty whence to eat.
لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَٰكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِّنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ
Indeed, the criminals will be in the punishment of Hell, abiding eternally.
Gewiß, die Übeltäter (hingegen) werden in der Strafe der Hölle ewig bleiben.
Lo! the guilty are immortal in hell's torment.
إِنَّ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ فِى عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ خَٰلِدُونَ
It will not be allowed to subside for them, and they, therein, are in despair.
Sie wird ihnen nicht herabgesetzt, und sie werden darin ganz verzweifelt sein.
It is not relaxed for them, and they despair therein.
لَا يُفَتَّرُ عَنْهُمْ وَهُمْ فِيهِ مُبْلِسُونَ
And We did not wrong them, but it was they who were the wrongdoers.
Nicht Wir haben ihnen Unrecht getan, sondern sie sind es, die Unrecht getan haben.
We wronged them not, but they it was who did the wrong.
وَمَا ظَلَمْنَٰهُمْ وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا۟ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ
And they will call, "O Malik, let your Lord put an end to us!" He will say, "Indeed, you will remain."
Und sie rufen: "O Malik, dein Herr soll unserem Leben ein Ende setzen." Er sagt: "Gewiß, ihr werdet (hier) bleiben."
And they cry: O master! Let thy Lord make an end of us. He saith: Lo! here ye must remain.
وَنَادَوْا۟ يَٰمَٰلِكُ لِيَقْضِ عَلَيْنَا رَبُّكَ قَالَ إِنَّكُم مَّٰكِثُونَ
We had certainly brought you the truth, but most of you, to the truth, were averse.
Wir sind zu euch mit der Wahrheit gekommen, aber den meisten von euch ist die Wahrheit zuwider.
We verily brought the Truth unto you, but ye were, most of you, averse to the Truth.
لَقَدْ جِئْنَٰكُم بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ لِلْحَقِّ كَٰرِهُونَ
Or have they devised [some] affair? But indeed, We are devising [a plan].
Oder haben sie sich eine Sache ausgedacht? Auch Wir können Uns (etwas) ausdenken.
Or do they determine any thing (against the Prophet) ? Lo! We (also) are determining.
أَمْ أَبْرَمُوٓا۟ أَمْرًا فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ
Or do they think that We hear not their secrets and their private conversations? Yes, [We do], and Our messengers are with them recording.
Oder meinen sie, daß Wir ihr Geheimes und ihre vertraulichen Gespräche nicht hören? Ja doch, Unsere Boten sind bei ihnen und schreiben (alles) auf.
Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences ? Nay, but Our envoys, present with them, do record.
أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لَا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَنَجْوَىٰهُم بَلَىٰ وَرُسُلُنَا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ
Say, [O Muhammad], "If the Most Merciful had a son, then I would be the first of [his] worshippers."
Sag: Wenn der Allerbarmer Kinder hätte, wäre ich der erste derjenigen, die (ihnen) dienen.
Say (O Muhammad): If the Beneficent One hath a son, then, I shall be first among the worshippers. (But there is no son).
قُلْ إِن كَانَ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ وَلَدٌ فَأَنَا۠ أَوَّلُ ٱلْعَٰبِدِينَ
Exalted is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, Lord of the Throne, above what they describe.
Preis sei dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde, dem Herrn des Thrones! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
Glorified be the Lord of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the Throne, from that which they ascribe (unto Him)!
سُبْحَٰنَ رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَرْشِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ
So leave them to converse vainly and amuse themselves until they meet their Day which they are promised.
So lasse sie schweifende Gespräche führen und ihr Spiel treiben, bis sie ihrem Tag begegnen, der ihnen angedroht ist.
So let them flounder (in their talk) and play until they meet the Day which they are promised.
فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا۟ وَيَلْعَبُوا۟ حَتَّىٰ يُلَٰقُوا۟ يَوْمَهُمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
And it is Allah who is [the only] deity in the heaven, and on the earth [the only] deity. And He is the Wise, the Knowing.
Er ist es, Der im Himmel Gott und auf der Erde Gott ist; Er ist der Allweise und Allwissende.
And He it is Who in the heaven is God, and in the earth God. He is the Wise, the Knower.
وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ إِلَٰهٌ وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَٰهٌ وَهُوَ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
And blessed is He to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them and with whom is knowledge of the Hour and to whom you will be returned.
Und Segensreich ist Derjenige, Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, gehört, Der das Wissen über die Stunde besitzt und zu Dem ihr zurückgebracht werdet!
And blessed be He unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and with Whom is knowledge of the Hour, and unto Whom ye will be returned.
وَتَبَارَكَ ٱلَّذِى لَهُۥ مُلْكُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَعِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلسَّاعَةِ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
And those they invoke besides Him do not possess [power of] intercession; but only those who testify to the truth [can benefit], and they know.
Und diejenigen, die sie anstatt Seiner anrufen, verfügen nicht über die Fürsprache, außer wer der Wahrheit entsprechend bezeugt, und sie wissen (es).
And those unto whom they cry instead of Him possess no power of intercession, saving him who beareth witness unto the Truth knowingly.
وَلَا يَمْلِكُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِهِ ٱلشَّفَٰعَةَ إِلَّا مَن شَهِدَ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
And if you asked them who created them, they would surely say, "Allah." So how are they deluded?
Wenn du sie fragst, wer sie erschaffen hat, sagen sie ganz gewiß: "Allah". Wie lassen sie sich also abwendig machen?
And if thou ask them who created them, they will surely say: Allah. How then are they turned away ?
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ ٱللَّهُ فَأَنَّىٰ يُؤْفَكُونَ
And [Allah acknowledges] his saying, "O my Lord, indeed these are a people who do not believe."
Und bei seinem Ausspruch: "O mein Herr, gewiß, das sind Leute, die nicht glauben."
And he saith: O my Lord! Lo! these are a folk who believe not.
وَقِيلِهِۦ يَٰرَبِّ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ لَّا يُؤْمِنُونَ
So turn aside from them and say, "Peace." But they are going to know.
Übe Nachsicht mit ihnen und sag: "Friede!" Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Then bear with them (O Muhammad) and say: Peace. But they will come to know.
فَٱصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ وَقُلْ سَلَٰمٌ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
