We recite to you from the news of Moses and Pharaoh in truth for a people who believe.
Wir verlesen dir von der Kunde über Musa und Fir'aun der Wahrheit entsprechend, für Leute, die glauben.
We narrate unto thee (somewhat) of the story of Moses and Pharaoh with truth, for folk who believe.
Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and made its people into factions, oppressing a sector among them, slaughtering their [newborn] sons and keeping their females alive. Indeed, he was of the corrupters.
Gewiß, Fir'aun zeigte sich überheblich im Land und machte seine Bewohner zu Lagern, von denen er einen Teil unterdrückte, indem er ihre Söhne abschlachtete und (nur) ihre Frauen am Leben ließ. Gewiß, er gehörte zu den Unheilstiftern.
Lo! Pharaoh exalted himself in the earth and made its people castes. A tribe among them he oppressed, killing their sons and sparing their women. Lo! he was of those who work corruption.
And We wanted to confer favor upon those who were oppressed in the land and make them leaders and make them inheritors
Wir aber wollten denjenigen, die im Land unterdrückt wurden, eine Wohltat erweisen und sie zu Vorbildern machen und zu Erben machen,
And We desired to show favour unto those who were oppressed in the earth, and to make them examples and to make them the inheritors,
And establish them in the land and show Pharaoh and [his minister] Haman and their soldiers through them that which they had feared.
ihnen eine feste Stellung im Land verleihen und Fir'aun, Haman und deren Heerscharen durch sie das erfahren lassen, wovor sie sich immer vorzusehen suchten.
And to establish them in the earth, and to show Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts that which they feared from them.
And We inspired to the mother of Moses, "Suckle him; but when you fear for him, cast him into the river and do not fear and do not grieve. Indeed, We will return him to you and will make him [one] of the messengers."
Und Wir gaben der Mutter Musas ein: "Stille ihn. Und wenn du um ihn fürchtest, dann setze ihn in das Wasser und fürchte dich nicht und sei nicht traurig. Wir werden ihn dir zurückbringen und ihn zu einem der Gesandten machen."
And We inspired the mother of Moses, saying: Suckle him and, when thou fearest for him, then cast him into the river and fear not nor grieve. Lo! We shall bring him back unto thee and shall make him (one) of Our messengers.
And the family of Pharaoh picked him up [out of the river] so that he would become to them an enemy and a [cause of] grief. Indeed, Pharaoh and Haman and their soldiers were deliberate sinners.
Da lasen ihn die Angehörigen Fir'auns auf, damit er ihnen zum Feind und (Grund zum) Kummer werde. Gewiß, Fir'aun, Haman und deren Heerscharen pflegten verfehlt zu handeln.
And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning.
And the wife of Pharaoh said, "[He will be] a comfort of the eye for me and for you. Do not kill him; perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not.
Die Frau Fir'auns sagte: "(Er wird) für mich und dich ein Grund zur Freude sein. Tötet ihn nicht. Vielleicht nützt er uns oder wir nehmen ihn als Kind an." Dabei merkten sie nicht (, was sie taten).
And the wife of Pharaoh said: (He will be) a consolation for me and for thee. Kill him not. Peradventure he may be of use to us, or we may choose him for a son. And they perceived not.
And the heart of Moses' mother became empty [of all else]. She was about to disclose [the matter concerning] him had We not bound fast her heart that she would be of the believers.
Und das Herz der Mutter Musas wurde leer. Beinahe hätte sie ihn fürwahr offen bekanntgegeben, wenn Wir nicht ihr Herz gestärkt hätten, damit sie zu den Gläubigen gehöre.
And the heart of the mother of Moses became void, and she would have betrayed him if We had not fortified her heart, that she might be of the believers.
And she said to his sister, "Follow him"; so she watched him from a distance while they perceived not.
Und sie sagte zu seiner Schwester: "Folge seiner Spur." Sie beobachtete ihn von fern, ohne daß sie merkten.
And she said unto his sister: Trace him. So she observed him from afar, and they perceived not.
And We had prevented from him [all] wet nurses before, so she said, "Shall I direct you to a household that will be responsible for him for you while they are to him [for his upbringing] sincere?"
Nun hatten Wir ihm zuvor die Ammenbrüste verwehrt. Da sagte sie: "Soll ich euch auf Hausleute hinweisen, die ihn für euch betreuen und ihm aufrichtig zugetan sein würden?"
And We had before forbidden foster - mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him ?
So We restored him to his mother that she might be content and not grieve and that she would know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of the people do not know.
So brachten Wir ihn zu seiner Mutter zurück, damit sie frohen Mutes und nicht mehr traurig sei und damit sie wissen sollte, daß Allahs Versprechen wahr ist. Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
So We restored him to his mother that she might be comforted and not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true. But most of them know not.
And when he attained his full strength and was [mentally] mature, We bestowed upon him judgement and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.
Und als er seine Vollreife und sein Ebenmaß erlangt hatte, gaben Wir ihm Urteil(skraft) und Wissen. So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
And when he reached his full strength and was ripe, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus do We reward the good.
And he entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy."
Und er betrat die Stadt zu einer Zeit, als ihre Bewohner unachtsam waren. Da fand er darin zwei Männer, die miteinander kämpften, der eine war von seinem (eigenen) Lager, der andere von seinen Feinden. Da rief ihn derjenige, der von seinem Lager war, zu Hilfe gegen denjenigen, der von den Feinden war. Dann schlug ihn Musa mit der Faust und brachte ihn so um. Er sagte: "Das gehört zum Werk des Satans. Gewiß, er ist ein deutlicher Feind, der in die Irre führt."
And he entered the city at a time of carelessness of its folk, and he found therein two men fighting, one of his own caste, and the other of his enemies; and he who was of his caste asked him for help against him who was of his enemies. So Moses struck him with his fist and killed him. He said: This is of the devil's doing. Lo! he is an enemy, a mere misleader.
He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mir selbst Unrecht zugefügt; so vergib mir." Da vergab Er ihm, denn Er ist ja der Allvergebende und Barmherzige.
He said: My Lord! Lo! I have wronged my soul, so forgive me. Then He forgave him. Lo! He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.
He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals."
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, darum, daß Du mir Gunst erwiesen hast, werde ich den Übeltätern nicht mehr Beistand leisten."
He said: My Lord! Forasmuch as Thou hast favoured me, I will nevermore be a supporter of the guilty.
And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."
Am Morgen war er in der Stadt furchtsam und hielt (immer wieder) Ausschau. Auf einmal schrie derjenige, der ihn am Tag zuvor um Hilfe gebeten hatte, zu ihm um Beistand. Musa sagte zu ihm: "Du bist offenkundig einer, der wahrlich (zu Gewalttaten) verleitet."
And morning found him in the city, fearing, vigilant, when behold! he who had appealed to him the day before cried out to him for help. Moses said unto him: Lo! thou art indeed a mere hothead.
And when he wanted to strike the one who was an enemy to both of them, he said, "O Moses, do you intend to kill me as you killed someone yesterday? You only want to be a tyrant in the land and do not want to be of the amenders."
Als er nun mit Gewalt denjenigen packen wollte, der ihrer beider Feind war, sagte dieser: "O Musa, willst du denn mich töten, wie du gestern eine (Menschen)seele getötet hast? Du willst ja nur ein Gewalttäter im Land sein, und du willst nicht zu den Heilstiftern gehören."
And when he would have fallen upon the man who was an enemy unto them both, he said: O Moses! Wouldst thou kill me as thou didst kill a person yesterday. Thou wouldst be nothing but a tyrant in the land, thou wouldst not be of the reformers.
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors."
Und es kam ein Mann vom äußersten Ende der Stadt gelaufen. Er sagte: "O Musa, die führende Schar berät über dich, um dich zu töten. So geh fort, gewiß, ich gehöre zu denjenigen, die dir guten Rat geben."
And a man came from the uttermost part of the city, running. He said: O Moses! Lo! the chiefs take counsel against thee to slay thee; therefor escape. Lo! I am of those who give thee good advice.
So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said, "My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people."
So ging er furchtsam aus ihr fort und hielt (immer wieder) Ausschau. Er sagte: "Mein Herr, errette mich von dem ungerechten Volk."
So he escaped from thence, fearing, vigilant. He said: My Lord! Deliver me from the wrongdoing folk.
And when he directed himself toward Madyan, he said, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to the sound way."
Und als er sich Madyan zuwandte, sagte er: "Vielleicht wird mein Herr mich den rechten Weg leiten."
And when he turned his face toward Midian, he said: Peradventure my Lord will guide me in the right road.
And when he came to the well of Madyan, he found there a crowd of people watering [their flocks], and he found aside from them two women driving back [their flocks]. He said, "What is your circumstance?" They said, "We do not water until the shepherds dispatch [their flocks]; and our father is an old man."
Als er nun zum Wasser von Madyan kam, fand er dort eine (ganze) Gemeinschaft von Menschen, die (ihr Vieh) tränkten. Und er fand außer ihnen zwei Frauen, die (ihre Tiere) fernhielten. Er sagte: "Was ist mit euch beiden?" Sie sagten: "Wir tränken (unsere Tiere) nicht, bis die Hirten (ihr Vieh) weggetrieben haben. Und unser Vater ist ein hochbetagter Greis."
And when he came unto the water of Midian he found there a whole tribe of men, watering. And he found apart from them two women keeping back (their flocks). He said: What aileth you ? The two said: We cannot give (our flocks) to drink till the shepherds return from the water; and our father is a very old man.
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me, in need."
Da tränkte er ihnen (ihre Tiere). Hierauf zog er sich zurück in den Schatten und sagte: "Mein Herr, ich bin dessen bedürftig, was Du auch immer an Gutem zu mir herabsendest."
So he watered (their flock) for them. Then he turned aside into the shade, and said: My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou sendest down for me.
Then one of the two women came to him walking with shyness. She said, "Indeed, my father invites you that he may reward you for having watered for us." So when he came to him and related to him the story, he said, "Fear not. You have escaped from the wrongdoing people."
Da kam die eine von den beiden zu ihm, indem sie verschämt einherging. Sie sagte: "Mein Vater ruft dich, um dir den Lohn dafür zu entrichten, daß du uns (die Tiere) getränkt hast." Nachdem er zu ihm gekommen war und ihm die Geschichte berichtet hatte, sagte er: "Fürchte dich nicht; du bist dem ungerechten Volk entkommen."
Then there came unto him one of the two women, walking shyly. She said: Lo! my father biddeth thee, that he may reward thee with a payment for that thou didst water (the flock) for us. Then, when he came unto him and told him the (whole) story, he said: Fear not! Thou hast escaped from the wrongdoing folk.
One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy."
Die eine von den beiden sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, nimm ihn in Dienst, denn der Beste, den du in Dienst nehmen kannst, ist der Starke und Vertrauenswürdige."
One of the two women said: O my father! Hire him! For the best (man) that thou canst hire in the strong, the trustworthy.
He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from you. And I do not wish to put you in difficulty. You will find me, if Allah wills, from among the righteous."
Er sagte: "Ich will dich mit einer dieser meiner beiden Töchter verheiraten unter der Bedingung, daß du acht Jahre in meinen Dienst trittst. Wenn du sie aber auf zehn vollmachst, so steht es bei dir. Ich will dir keine Härte auferlegen. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Rechtschaffenen finden."
He said: Lo! I fain would marry thee to one of these two daughters of mine on condition that thou hirest thyself to me for (the term of) eight pilgrimages. Then if thou completest ten it will be of thine own accord, for I would not make it hard for thee. Allah willing, thou wilt find me of the righteous.
[Moses] said, "That is [established] between me and you. Whichever of the two terms I complete - there is no injustice to me, and Allah, over what we say, is Witness."
Er sagte: "Dies sei zwischen mir und dir (abgemacht). Welche der beiden Fristen ich auch erfülle, so darf es keine Bedrängnis gegen mich geben. Und Allah ist Sachwalter über das, was wir (hier) sagen."
He said: That (is settled) between thee and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfil, there will be no injustice to me, and Allah is Surety over what we say.
And when Moses had completed the term and was traveling with his family, he perceived from the direction of the mount a fire. He said to his family, "Stay here; indeed, I have perceived a fire. Perhaps I will bring you from there [some] information or burning wood from the fire that you may warm yourselves."
Als Musa die Frist erfüllt hatte und mit seinen Angehörigen fortzog, nahm er auf der Seite des Berges ein Feuer wahr. Er sagte zu seinen Angehörigen: "Bleibt hier. Ich habe ein Feuer wahrgenommen; vielleicht kann ich euch davon eine Nachricht oder ein Stück brennendes Holz aus dem Feuer bringen, auf daß ihr euch (daran) wärmen könnt."
Then, when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his housefolk, he saw in the distance a fire and said unto his housefolk: Bide ye (here). Lo! I see in the distance a fire; peradventure I shall bring you tidings thence, or a brand from the fire that ye may warm yourselves.
But when he came to it, he was called from the right side of the valley in a blessed spot - from the tree, "O Moses, indeed I am Allah, Lord of the worlds."
Als er dort ankam, wurde ihm vom rechten Ufer des Tales im gesegneten Fleck (Land) aus dem Baum zugerufen: "O Musa, gewiß, Ich bin Allah, der Herr der Weltenbewohner."
And when he reached it, he was called from the right side of the valley in the blessed field, from the tree: O Moses! Lo! I, even I, am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds;
And [he was told], "Throw down your staff." But when he saw it writhing as if it was a snake, he turned in flight and did not return. [Allah said], "O Moses, approach and fear not. Indeed, you are of the secure.
Und: "Wirf deinen Stock hin." Doch als er sah, daß er sich hin und her bewegte, als wäre er eine flinke Schlange, kehrte er den Rücken und wandte sich nicht mehr um. - "O Musa, komm her und fürchte dich nicht, denn du sollst zu denjenigen gehören, die in Sicherheit sind.
Throw down thy staff. And when he saw it writhing as it had been a demon, he turned to flee headlong, (and it was said unto him): O Moses! Draw nigh and fear not. Lo! thou art of those who are secure.
Insert your hand into the opening of your garment; it will come out white, without disease. And draw in your arm close to you [as prevention] from fear, for those are two proofs from your Lord to Pharaoh and his establishment. Indeed, they have been a people defiantly disobedient."
(Und) stecke die Hand in deinen Brustschlitz, so kommt sie weiß, jedoch nicht von Übel befallen, heraus. - Und zieh deinen Arm an dich gegen den Schreck. - Dies sind zwei Beweise von deinem Herrn, (gerichtet) an Fir'aun und seine führende Schar. Gewiß, sie sind ein Volk von Frevlern."
Thrust thy hand into the bosom of thy robe it will come forth white without hurt. And guard thy heart from fear. Then these shall be two proofs from your Lord unto Pharaoh and his chiefs. Lo! they are evil - living folk.
He said, "My Lord, indeed, I killed from among them someone, and I fear they will kill me.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe eine (Menschen)seele von ihnen getötet, und so fürchte ich, daß sie mich töten.
He said: My Lord! Lo! I killed a man among them and I fear that they will kill me.
And my brother Aaron is more fluent than me in tongue, so send him with me as support, verifying me. Indeed, I fear that they will deny me."
Auch hat mein Bruder Harun eine redegewandtere Zunge. So sende ihn mit mir zur Unterstützung, mich zu bestätigen, denn ich furchte, daß sie mich der Lüge bezichtigen."
My brother Aaron is more eloquent than me in speech. Therefor send him with me as a helper to confirm me. Lo! I fear that they will give the lie to me.
[Allah] said, "We will strengthen your arm through your brother and grant you both supremacy so they will not reach you. [It will be] through Our signs; you and those who follow you will be the predominant."
Er sagte: "Wir werden deinen Arm durch deinen Bruder festigen und euch beiden eine Ermächtigung erteilen, so daß sie nicht zu euch gelangen (können). Mit Unseren Zeichen werdet ihr und diejenigen, die euch folgen, Sieger sein."
He said: We will strengthen thine arm with thy brother, and We will give unto you both power so that they cannot reach you for Our portents. Ye twain, and those who follow you, will be the winners.
But when Moses came to them with Our signs as clear evidences, they said, "This is not except invented magic, and we have not heard of this [religion] among our forefathers."
Als nun Musa mit Unseren Zeichen als klare Beweise kam, sagten sie: "Das ist nur ersonnene Zauberei. Und wir haben so etwas bei unseren Vorvätern nicht gehört."
But when Moses came unto them with Our clear tokens, they said: This is naught but invented magic. We never heard of this among our fathers of old.
And Moses said, "My Lord is more knowing [than we or you] of who has come with guidance from Him and to whom will be succession in the home. Indeed, wrongdoers do not succeed."
Musa sagte: "Mein Herr weiß besser, wer von Ihm her die Rechtleitung bringt und wem die letztendliche Wohnstätte gehören wird. Gewiß, den Ungerechten wird es nicht wohl ergehen."
And Moses said: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance from His presence, and whose will be the sequel of the Home (of bliss). Lo! wrong - doers will not be .
And Pharaoh said, "O eminent ones, I have not known you to have a god other than me. Then ignite for me, O Haman, [a fire] upon the clay and make for me a tower that I may look at the God of Moses. And indeed, I do think he is among the liars."
Und Fir'aun sagte: "O ihr führende Schar, keinen anderen Gott weiß ich für euch als mich (selbst). So entfache mir, o Haman, einen Brand auf Lehm, und mache mir einen Hochbau, auf daß ich zum Gott Musas emporsteige. Ich glaube fürwahr, daß er zu den Lügnern gehört."
And Pharaoh said: O chiefs! I know not that ye have a god other than me, so kindle for me (a fire), O Haman, to bake the mud; and set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may survey the God of Moses; and lo! I deem him of the liars.
And he was arrogant, he and his soldiers, in the land, without right, and they thought that they would not be returned to Us.
Er und seine Heerscharen verhielten sich ohne Recht hochmütig auf der Erde und glaubten, daß sie (dereinst) nicht zu Uns zurückgebracht würden.
And he and his hosts were haughty in the land without right, and deemed that they would never be brought back to Us.
So We took him and his soldiers and threw them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.
Da ergriffen Wir ihn und seine Heerscharen und warfen sie dann in das große Gewässer. So schau, wie das Ende der Ungerechten war.
Therefor We seized him and his hosts, and abandoned them unto the sea. Behold the nature of the consequence for evil - doers!
And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
Und Wir machten sie zu Anführern, die zum (Höllen)feuer einladen. Und am Tag der Auferstehung wird ihnen keine Hilfe zuteil werden.
And We made them patterns that invite unto the Fire, and on the Day of Resurrection they will not be helped.
And We caused to overtake them in this world a curse, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be of the despised.
Und Wir ließen ihnen einen Fluch im Diesseits nachfolgen, und am Tag der Auferstehung werden sie zu den Verabscheuten gehören.
And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection they will be among the hateful.
And We gave Moses the Scripture, after We had destroyed the former generations, as enlightenment for the people and guidance and mercy that they might be reminded.
Und Wir gaben ja Musa die Schrift -, nachdem Wir die früheren Geschlechter vernichteten, - als einsichtbringende Zeichen für die Menschen und als Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
And We verily gave the Scripture unto Moses after We had destroyed the generations of old: clear testimonies for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might reflect.
And you, [O Muhammad], were not on the western side [of the mount] when We revealed to Moses the command, and you were not among the witnesses [to that].
Du warst nicht auf der westlichen Seite', als Wir Musa die Angelegenheit auftrugen, und du warst nicht zugegen.
And thou (Muhammad) wast not on the western side (of the Mount) when We expounded unto Moses the commandment, and thou wast not among those present;
But We produced [many] generations [after Moses], and prolonged was their duration. And you were not a resident among the people of Madyan, reciting to them Our verses, but We were senders [of this message].
Wir aber ließen Geschlechter entstehen, und es war ihnen ein langes Leben beschieden. Und du hattest dich nicht unter den Leuten von Madyan niederge lassen, um ihnen Unsere Zeichen zu verlesen. Wir aber entsandten immer wieder (Propheten).
But We brought forth generations, and their lives dragged on for them. And thou wast not a dweller in Midian, reciting unto them Our revelations, but We kept sending (messengers to men).
And you were not at the side of the mount when We called [Moses] but [were sent] as a mercy from your Lord to warn a people to whom no warner had come before you that they might be reminded.
Und du warst nicht auf der Seite des Berges, als Wir zuriefen. Aber (die Offenbarung ist) als Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn (zu dir gekommen), damit du Leute warnst, zu denen noch kein Warner vor dir gekommen ist, auf daß sie be denken mögen.
And thou was not beside the Mount when We did call; but (the knowledge of it is) a mercy from thy Lord that thou mayst warn a folk unto whom no warner came before thee, that haply they may give heed.
And if not that a disaster should strike them for what their hands put forth [of sins] and they would say, "Our Lord, why did You not send us a messenger so we could have followed Your verses and been among the believers?"...
(Hätten Wir dich nicht entsandt), würden sie sagen, wenn sie ein Unglück trifft wegen dessen, was ihre Hände vorausgeschickt haben: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können und zu den Gläubigen'hätten gehören können!"
Otherwise, if disaster should afflict them because of that which their own hands have sent before (them), they might say: Our Lord! Why sentest Thou no messenger unto us, that we might have followed Thy revelations and been of the believers ?
But when the truth came to them from Us, they said, "Why was he not given like that which was given to Moses?" Did they not disbelieve in that which was given to Moses before? They said, "[They are but] two works of magic supporting each other, and indeed we are, in both, disbelievers."
Als nun die Wahrheit von Uns her zu ihnen kam, sagten sie: "Wäre ihm doch das gleiche gegeben worden, was Musa gegeben wurde!" Haben sie denn nicht das verleugnet, was zuvor Musa gegeben wurde? Sie sagen: "Zwei Zauberwerke, die einander beistehen." Und sie sagen: "Wir verleugnen sie alle (beide)."
But when there came unto them the Truth from Our presence, they said: Why is he not given the like of what was given unto Moses ? Did they not disbelieve in that which was given unto Moses of old ? They say: Two magics that support each other; and they say: Lo! in both we are disbelievers.
Say, "Then bring a scripture from Allah which is more guiding than either of them that I may follow it, if you should be truthful."
Sag: Bringt doch eine Schrift von Allah bei, die eine bessere Rechtleitung enthält als diese beiden, so will ich ihr folgen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Then bring a scripture from the presence of Allah that giveth clearer guidance than these two (that) I may follow it, if ye are truthful.
But if they do not respond to you - then know that they only follow their [own] desires. And who is more astray than one who follows his desire without guidance from Allah? Indeed, Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Wenn sie nicht auf dich hören, so wisse, daß sie nur ihren Neigungen folgen. Und wer ist weiter abgeirrt als jemand, der seiner Neigung folgt ohne Rechtleitung von Allah. Gewiß, Allah leitet das ungerechte Volk nicht recht.
And if they answer thee not, then know that what they follow is their lusts. And who goeth farther astray than he who followeth his lust without guidance from Allah. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
And We have [repeatedly] conveyed to them the Qur'an that they might be reminded.
Und Wir haben ihnen ja das Wort aufeinanderfolgend übermittelt, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
And now verily We have caused the Word to reach them, that haply they may give heed.
Those to whom We gave the Scripture before it - they are believers in it.
Diejenigen, denen Wir vor ihm die Schrift gaben, glauben an ihn.
Those unto whom We gave the Scripture before it, they believe in it,
And when it is recited to them, they say, "We have believed in it; indeed, it is the truth from our Lord. Indeed we were, [even] before it, Muslims [submitting to Allah]."
Und wenn er ihnen verlesen wird, sagen sie: "Wir glauben an ihn. Gewiß, es ist die Wahrheit von unserem Herrn. Wir waren ja schon vor ihm (Allah) ergeben."
And when it is recited unto them, they say: We believe in it. Lo! it is the Truth from our Lord. Lo! even before it we were of those who surrender (unto Him).
Those will be given their reward twice for what they patiently endured and [because] they avert evil through good, and from what We have provided them they spend.
Diese erhalten ihren Lohn zweimal dafür, daß sie standhaft waren. Und sie wehren mit dem Guten das Böse ab und geben von dem aus, womit Wir sie versorgt haben.
These will be given their reward twice over, because they are steadfast and repel evil with good, and spend of that wherewith We have provided them,
And when they hear ill speech, they turn away from it and say, "For us are our deeds, and for you are your deeds. Peace will be upon you; we seek not the ignorant."
Und wenn sie unbedachte Rede hören, wenden sie sich davon ab und sagen: "Wir haben unsere Taten und ihr habt eure Taten (zu verantworten). Friede sei auf euch! Wir trachten nicht nach (dem Umgang mit) den Toren."
And when they hear vanity they withdraw from it and say: Unto us our works and unto you your works. Peace be unto you! We desire not the ignorant.
Indeed, [O Muhammad], you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And He is most knowing of the [rightly] guided.
Gewiß, du kannst nicht rechtleiten, wen du gern (rechtgeleitet sehen) möchtest. Allah aber leitet recht, wen Er will. Er kennt sehr wohl die Rechtgeleiteten.
Lo! thou (O Muhammad) guidest not whom thou lovest, but Allah guideth whom He will. And He is Best Aware of those who walk aright.
And they say, "If we were to follow the guidance with you, we would be swept from our land." Have we not established for them a safe sanctuary to which are brought the fruits of all things as provision from Us? But most of them do not know.
Und sie sagen: "Wenn wir der Rechtleitung mit dir folgen, werden wir von unserem Land fortgerissen." Haben Wir ihnen denn nicht eine feste Stellung in einem sicheren geschützten Bezirk verliehen, zu dem die Früchte jeder Art zusammengetragen werden als Versorgung von Uns aus? Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
And they say: If we were to follow the Guidance with thee we should be torn out of our land. Have We not established for them a sure sanctuary, whereunto the produce of all things is brought (in trade), a provision from Our presence ? But most of them know not.
And how many a city have We destroyed that was insolent in its [way of] living, and those are their dwellings which have not been inhabited after them except briefly. And it is We who were the inheritors.
Und wie (so) manche Stadt, die sich übermütig ihres Lebensunterhaltes erfreute, haben Wir vernichtet! Da sind nun ihre Wohnorte, die nach ihnen nicht mehr bewohnt wurden, bis auf wenige. Und Wir sind es, die Erben (all dessen) geworden sind.
And how many a community have We destroyed that was thankless for its means of livelihood! And yonder are their dwellings, which have not been inhabited after them save a little. And We, even We, were the inheritors.
And never would your Lord have destroyed the cities until He had sent to their mother a messenger reciting to them Our verses. And We would not destroy the cities except while their people were wrongdoers.
Und dein Herr hätte nimmer die Städte vernichtet, bevor Er nicht in ihrem Mittelpunkt einen Gesandten hätte erstehen lassen, der ihnen Unsere Zeichen verliest. Und Wir hätten die Städte nimmer vernichtet, wenn ihre Bewohner nicht ungerecht gewesen wären.
And never did thy Lord destroy the townships, till He had raised up in their mother( - town) a messenger reciting unto them Our revelations. And never did We destroy the townships unless the folk thereof were evil - doers.
And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allah is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?
Und was immer euch gegeben geworden ist, ist Genuß und Schmuck des diesseitigen Lebens. Was aber bei Allah ist, ist besser und beständiger. Begreift ihr denn nicht?
And whatsoever ye have been given is a comfort of the life of the world and an ornament thereof; and that which Allah hath is better and more lasting. Have ye then no sense ?
Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will obtain like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?
Ist denn einer, dem Wir ein schönes Versprechen gegeben haben und der es auch vorfinden wird, einem gleich, den Wir den Genuß des diesseitigen Lebens genießen lassen, der hierauf aber am Tag der Auferstehung zu den Vorgeführten gehören wird?
Is he whom We have promised a fair promise which he will find (true) like him whom We suffer to enjoy awhile the comfort of the life of the world, then on the Day of Resurrection he will be of those arraigned ?
And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are My 'partners' which you used to claim?"
Und am Tag, da Er ihnen zuruft und sagt: "Wo sind (nun) Meine Teilhaber, die ihr stets angegeben habt?"
On the day when He will call unto them and say: Where are My partners whom ye imagined ?
Those upon whom the word will have come into effect will say, "Our Lord, these are the ones we led to error. We led them to error just as we were in error. We declare our disassociation [from them] to You. They did not used to worship us."
Diejenigen, gegen die sich das Wort bewahrheitet hat, sagen: "Unser Herr, diese, die wir in Verirrung haben fallen lassen, haben wir (nur) in Verirrung fallen lassen, wie wir selbst in Verirrung gefallen waren. (Von ihnen) sagen wir uns vor Dir los. Nicht uns dienten sie ja."
Those concerning whom the Word will have come true will say: Our Lord! These are they whom we led astray. We led them astray even as we ourselves were astray. We declare our innocence before Thee: us they never worshipped.
And it will be said, "Invoke your 'partners' " and they will invoke them; but they will not respond to them, and they will see the punishment. If only they had followed guidance!
Und es wird gesagt werden: "Ruft eure Teilhaber." Sie werden sie anrufen, aber sie werden ihnen nicht antworten. Und sie werden die Strafe sehen. Wenn sie sich hätten rechtleiten lassen (, wären sie gerettet gewesen).
And it will be said: Cry unto your (so - called) partners (of Allah). And they will cry unto them, and they will give no answer unto them, and they will see the Doom. Ah, if they had but been guided!
And [mention] the Day He will call them and say, "What did you answer the messengers?"
Und am Tag, da Er ihnen zurufen wird und sagt: "Was habt ihr den Gesandten geantwortet?"
And on the Day when He will call unto them and say: What answer gave ye to the messengers ?
But the information will be unapparent to them that Day, so they will not [be able to] ask one another.
Ihren Blicken werden an jenem Tag die Beweise entzogen sein, und so fragen sie sich nicht mehr gegenseitig.
On that day (all) tidings will be dimmed for them, nor will they ask one of another,
But as for one who had repented, believed, and done righteousness, it is promised by Allah that he will be among the .
Was aber jemanden angeht, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt, der wird vielleicht zu denjenigen gehören, denen es wohl ergeht.
But as for him who shall repent and believe and do right, he haply may be one of the .
And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him.
Und dein Herr erschafft, was Er will, und wählt. Ihnen aber steht es nicht zu, zu wählen. Preis sei Allah! Erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Thy Lord bringeth to pass what He willeth and chooseth. They have never any choice. Glorified be Allah and Exalted above all that they associate (with Him)!
And your Lord knows what their breasts conceal and what they declare.
Und dein Herr weiß, was ihre Brüste verhehlen und was sie offenlegen.
And thy Lord knoweth what their breasts conceal, and what they publish.
And He is Allah; there is no deity except Him. To Him is [due all] praise in the first [life] and the Hereafter. And His is the [final] decision, and to Him you will be returned.
Und Er ist Allah. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. (Alles) Lob gehört Ihm in der diesseitigen und in der jenseitigen Welt! Ihm gehört das Urteil, und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
And He is Allah; there is no God save Him. His is all praise in the former and the latter (state), and His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back.
Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the night continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you light? Then will you not hear?"
Sag: Was meint ihr, wenn Allah auf euch die Nacht als Dauerzustand legen würde bis zum Tag der Auferstehung, wer wäre (dann) Gott außer Allah, Der euch Licht bringen würde? Wollt ihr denn nicht hören?
Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made night everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you light ? Will ye not then hear ?
Say, "Have you considered: if Allah should make for you the day continuous until the Day of Resurrection, what deity other than Allah could bring you a night in which you may rest? Then will you not see?"
Sag: Was meint ihr, wenn Allah auf euch den Tag als Dauerzustand legen würde bis zum Tag der Auferstehung, wer wäre (dann) Gott außer Allah, Der euch eine Nacht bringen würde, in der ihr ruht? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?
Say: Have ye thought, if Allah made day everlasting for you till the Day of Resurrection, who is a god beside Allah who could bring you night wherein ye rest ? Will ye not then see ?
And out of His mercy He made for you the night and the day that you may rest therein and [by day] seek from His bounty and [that] perhaps you will be grateful.
In Seiner Barmherzigkeit hat Er euch die Nacht und den Tag gemacht, damit ihr darin ruht und damit ihr (auch) nach etwas von Seiner Huld trachtet, und auf daß ihr dankbar sein möget.
Of His mercy hath He appointed for you night and day, that therein ye may rest, and that ye may seek His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful.
And [warn of] the Day He will call them and say, "Where are my 'partners' which you used to claim?"
Und am Tag, da Er ihnen zurufen wird und dann sagt: "Wo sind denn Meine Teilhaber, die ihr stets angegeben habt?"
And on the Day when He shall call unto them and say: Where are My partners whom ye pretended ?
And We will extract from every nation a witness and say, "Produce your proof," and they will know that the truth belongs to Allah, and lost from them is that which they used to invent.
Und Wir nehmen aus jeder Gemeinschaft einen Zeugen heraus, und da sagen Wir: "Bringt euren Beweis vor." Dann werden sie wissen, daß die Wahrheit Allah gehört. Und entschwunden wird ihnen sein, was sie zu ersinnen pflegten.
And We shall take out from every nation a witness and We shall say: Bring your proof. Then they will know that Allah hath the Truth, and all that they invented will have failed them.
Indeed, Qarun was from the people of Moses, but he tyrannized them. And We gave him of treasures whose keys would burden a band of strong men; thereupon his people said to him, "Do not exult. Indeed, Allah does not like the exultant.
Gewiß, Qarun gehörte zum Volk Musas, doch unterdrückte er sie. Und Wir gaben ihm solche Schätze, daß deren Schlüssel wahrlich eine schwere Last für eine (ganze) Schar kräftiger Männer gewesen wären. Als sein Volk zu ihm sagte: "Sei nicht (übermütig) froh, denn Allah liebt nicht diejenigen (Unterdrücker), die (zu übermütig) froh sind,
Now Korah was of Moses' folk, but he oppressed them; and We gave him so much treasure that the stores thereof would verily have been a burden for a troop of mighty men. When his own folk said unto him: Exult not; lo! Allah loveth not the exultant;
But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."
sondern trachte mit dem, was Allah dir gegeben hat, nach der jenseitigen Wohnstätte, vergiß aber auch nicht deinen Anteil am Diesseits. Und tu Gutes, so wie Allah dir Gutes getan hat. Und trachte nicht nach Unheil auf der Erde, denn Allah liebt nicht die Unheilstifter."
But seek the abode of the Hereafter in that which Allah hath given thee and neglect not thy portion of the world, and be thou kind even as Allah hath been kind to thee, and seek not corruption in the earth; lo! Allah loveth not corrupters,
He said, "I was only given it because of knowledge I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him of generations those who were greater than him in power and greater in accumulation [of wealth]? But the criminals, about their sins, will not be asked.
Er sagte: "Es ist mir nur gegeben worden aufgrund von Wissen, das ich besitze." Wußte er denn nicht, daß Allah bereits vor ihm solche Geschlechter vernichtet hatte, die eine stärkere Kraft als er besaßen und eine größere Ansammlung (an Helfern) hatten? Und die Übeltäter werden nicht nach ihren Sünden befragt.
He said: I have been given it only on account of knowledge I possess. Knew he not that Allah had destroyed already of the generations before him men who were mightier than him in strength and greater in respect of following ? The guilty are not questioned of their sins.
So he came out before his people in his adornment. Those who desired the worldly life said, "Oh, would that we had like what was given to Qarun. Indeed, he is one of great fortune."
Und so trat er zu seinem Volk in seinem Schmuck heraus. Diejenigen, die das diesseitige Leben begehrten, sagten: "O hätten doch (auch) wir das gleiche wie das, was Qarun gegeben worden ist! Er hat wahrlich gewaltiges Glück."
Then went he forth before his people in his pomp. Those who were desirous of the life of the world said: Ah, would that we had the like of what hath been given unto Korah! Lo! he is lord of rare good fortune.
But those who had been given knowledge said, "Woe to you! The reward of Allah is better for he who believes and does righteousness. And none are granted it except the patient."
Aber diejenigen, denen das Wissen gegeben worden war, sagten: "Wehe euch! Allahs Belohnung ist besser für jemanden, der glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt." Aber es wird nur den Standhaften dargeboten.
But those who had been given knowledge said: Woe unto you! The reward of Allah for him who believeth and doeth right is better, and only the steadfast will obtain it.
And We caused the earth to swallow him and his home. And there was for him no company to aid him other than Allah, nor was he of those who [could] defend themselves.
Da ließen Wir mit ihm und mit seiner Wohnstätte die Erde versinken. Und da hatte er weder eine Schar, die ihm vor Allah half, noch konnte er sich selbst helfen.
So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling - place. Then he had no host to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who can save themselves.
And those who had wished for his position the previous day began to say, "Oh, how Allah extends provision to whom He wills of His servants and restricts it! If not that Allah had conferred favor on us, He would have caused it to swallow us. Oh, how the disbelievers do not succeed!"
Und diejenigen, die sich am Tag zuvor (an) seine(r) Stelle (zu sein) gewünscht hatten, begannen zu sagen: "Ah sieh! Allah gewährt die Versorgung großzügig, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will, und bemißt auch. Wenn Allah uns nicht eine Wohltat erwiesen hätte, hätte Er uns wahrlich (auch) versinken lassen. Ah sieh! Den Ungläubigen wird es nicht wohl ergehen."
And morning found those who had coveted his place but yesterday crying: Ah, welladay! Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His slaves and straiteneth it (for whom He will). If Allah had not been gracious unto us He would have caused it to swallow us (also). Ah, welladay! the disbelievers never prosper.
That home of the Hereafter We assign to those who do not desire exaltedness upon the earth or corruption. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous.
Das ist die jenseitige Wohnstätte. Wir bestimmen sie für diejenigen, die weder Überheblichkeit auf der Erde noch Unheil begehren. Und das (gute) Ende gehört den Gottesfürchtigen.
As for that Abode of the Hereafter We assign it unto those who seek not oppression in the earth, nor yet corruption. The sequel is for those who ward off (evil).
Whoever comes [on the Day of Judgement] with a good deed will have better than it; and whoever comes with an evil deed - then those who did evil deeds will not be recompensed except [as much as] what they used to do.
Wer mit einer guten Tat kommt, für den wird es etwas Besseres als sie geben. Wer aber mit einer bösen Tat kommt, so wird denjenigen, die böse Taten begehen, nur das vergolten, was sie zu tun pflegten.
Whoso bringeth a good deed, he will have better than the same; while as for him who bringeth an ill - deed, those who do ill - deeds will be requited only what they did.
Indeed, [O Muhammad], He who imposed upon you the Qur'an will take you back to a place of return. Say, "My Lord is most knowing of who brings guidance and who is in clear error."
Derjenige, Der dir den Qur'an verpflichtend gemacht hat, wird dich sicher zu einem Ort der Wiederkehr zurückkehren lassen. Sag: Mein Herr weiß besser, wer die Rechtleitung bringt und wer sich in deutlichem Irrtum befindet.
Lo! He Who hath given thee the Qur'an for a law will surely bring thee home again. Say: My Lord is Best Aware of him who bringeth guidance and him who is in error manifest.
And you were not expecting that the Book would be conveyed to you, but [it is] a mercy from your Lord. So do not be an assistant to the disbelievers.
Und du hattest nicht erwartet, daß das Buch an dich gerichtet würde. Es ist nur aus Barmherzigkeit von deinem Herrn. Darum leiste den Ungläubigen ja keinen Beistand.
Thou hadst no hope that the Scripture would be inspired in thee; but it is a mercy from thy Lord, so never be a helper to the disbelievers.
And never let them avert you from the verses of Allah after they have been revealed to you. And invite [people] to your Lord. And never be of those who associate others with Allah.
Und lasse sie dich nur nicht von den Zeichen Allahs abhalten, nachdem sie nun zu dir herabgesandt worden sind. Und rufe zu deinem Herrn, und gehöre ja nicht zu den Götzendienern.
And let them not divert thee from the revelations of Allah after they have been sent down unto thee; but call (mankind) unto thy Lord, and be not of those who ascribe partners (unto Him).
And do not invoke with Allah another deity. There is no deity except Him. Everything will be destroyed except His Face. His is the judgement, and to Him you will be returned.
Und rufe neben Allah keinen anderen Gott an. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Alles wird untergehen - außer Seinem Angesicht. Ihm gehört das Urteil, und zu Ihm werdet ihr zurückgebracht.
And cry not unto any other god along with Allah. There is no God save Him. Everything will perish save His countenance. His is the command, and unto Him ye will be brought back.
