Wir sandten ja Nuh zu seinem Volk: "Warne dein Volk, bevor schmerzhafte Strafe über sie kommt."
We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
He said, "O my people, indeed I am to you a clear warner,
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, ich bin euch ja ein deutlicher Warner,

قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
[Saying], 'Worship Allah, fear Him and obey me.
(euch zu mahnen:) Dient Allah und fürchtet Ihn, und gehorcht mir,
"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
Allah will forgive you of your sins and delay you for a specified term. Indeed, the time [set by] Allah, when it comes, will not be delayed, if you only knew.' "
so wird Er euch (etwas) von euren Sünden vergeben und euch auf eine festgesetzte Frist zurückstellen. Gewiß, Allahs Frist, wenn sie kommt, kann nicht zurückgestellt werden, wenn ihr nur wüßtet!"
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
He said, "My Lord, indeed I invited my people [to truth] night and day.
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mein Volk bei Nacht und bei Tag aufgerufen.
He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
But my invitation increased them not except in flight.
Aber mein Rufen hat sie nur in ihrer Flucht bestärkt.
"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
And indeed, every time I invited them that You may forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, covered themselves with their garments, persisted, and were arrogant with [great] arrogance.
Gewiß, jedesmal, wenn ich sie aufrief, damit Du ihnen vergibst, steckten sie ihre Finger in ihre Ohren, überdeckten sich mit ihren Gewändern, verharrten (im Irrtum) und verhielten sich sehr hochmütig.
"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا
Then I invited them publicly.
Hierauf richtete ich an sie den Ruf dann öffentlich.
"So I have called to them aloud;
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
Then I announced to them and [also] confided to them secretly
Hierauf sprach ich zu ihnen offen und ganz im geheimen.
"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا

لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, sie haben sich mir widersetzt und sind jemandem gefolgt, dem sein Besitz und seine Kinder nur den Verlust mehren.
Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا

"And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr'; -
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
And already they have misled many. And, [my Lord], do not increase the wrongdoers except in error."
Sie haben ja viele in die Irre geführt. So lasse die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer in die Irre gehen."
"They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong - doers but in straying (from their mark)."
