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 rehearse to thee some of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in Truth, for people 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.
Truly Pharaoh elated himself in the land and broke up its people into sections, depressing a small group among them: their sons he slew, but he kept alive their females: for he was indeed a maker of mischief.
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 wished to be Gracious to those who were being depressed in the land, to make them leaders (in Faith) and make them heirs,
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.
To establish a firm place for them in the land, and to show Pharaoh, Haman, and their hosts, at their hands, the very things against which they were taking precautions.
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."
So We sent this inspiration to the mother of Moses: "Suckle (thy child), but when thou hast fears about him, cast him into the river, but fear not nor grieve: for We shall restore him to thee, and We 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.
Then the people of Pharaoh picked him up (from the river): (It was intended) that (Moses) should be to them an adversary and a cause of sorrow: for Pharaoh and Haman and (all) their hosts were men of sin.
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).
The wife of Pharaoh said: "(Here is) joy of the eye, for me and for thee: slay him not. It may be that he will be use to us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not (what they were doing)!
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.
But there came to be a void in the heart of the mother of Moses: She was going almost to disclose his (case), had We not strengthened her heart (with faith), so that she might remain a (firm) believer.
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 to the sister of (Moses), "Follow him" so she (the sister) watched him in the character of a stranger. And they knew 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 ordained that he refused suck at first, until (His sister came up and) said: "Shall I point out to you the people of a house that will nourish and bring him up for you and be sincerely attached to 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.
Thus did We restore him to his mother, that her eye might be comforted, that she might not grieve, and that she might know that the promise of Allah is true: but most of them do not understand.
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.
When he reached full age, and was firmly established (in life), We bestowed on him wisdom and knowledge: for thus do We reward those who do 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 when its people were not watching: and he found there two men fighting, - one of his own religion, and the other, of his foes. Now the man of his own religion appealed to him against his foe, and Moses struck him with his fist and made an end of him. He said: "This is a work of Evil (Satan): for he is an enemy that manifestly misleads!"
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 prayed: "O my Lord! I have indeed wronged my soul! Do Thou then forgive me!" So (Allah) forgave him: for He is the Oft - Forgiving, Most 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: "O my Lord! For that Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace on me, never shall I be a help to those who sin!"
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."
So he saw the morning in the city, looking about, in a state of fear, when behold, the man who had, the day before, sought his help called aloud for his help (again). Moses said to him: "Thou art truly, it is clear, a quarrelsome fellow!"
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."
Then, when he decided to lay hold of the man who was an enemy to both of them, that man said: "O Moses! Is it thy intention to slay me as thou slewest a man yesterday? Thy intention is none other than to become a powerful violent man in the land, and not to be one who sets things right!"
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 there came a man, running, from the furthest end of the City. He said: "O Moses! the Chiefs are taking counsel together about thee, to slay thee: so get thee away, for I do give thee sincere 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."
He therefore got away therefrom, looking about, in a state of fear. He prayed "O my Lord! save me from people given to wrong - doing."
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."
Then, when he turned his face towards (the land of) Madyan, he said: "I do hope that my Lord will show me the smooth and straight Path."
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 arrived at the watering (place) in Madyan, he found there a group of men watering (their flocks), and besides them he found two women who were keeping back (their flocks). He said: "What is the matter with you?" They said: "We cannot water (our flocks) until the shepherds take back (their flocks): 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 flocks) for them; then he turned back to the shade, and said:"O my Lord! truly am I in (desperate) need of any good that Thou dost send 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."
Afterwards one of the (damsels) came (back) to him, walking bashfully. She said: "My father invites thee that he may reward thee for having watered (our flocks) for us." So when he came to him and narrated the story, he said: "Fear thou not: (well) hast thou escaped from unjust people."
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."
Said one of the (damsels): "O my (dear) father! engage him on wages: truly the best of men for thee to employ is the (man) who is strong and trusty"....
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: "I intend to wed one of these my daughters to thee, on condition that thou serve me for eight years; but if thou complete ten years, it will be (grace) from thee. But I intend not to place thee under a difficulty: thou wilt find me, indeed, if Allah wills, one 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: "Be that (the agreement) between me and thee: whichever of the two terms I fulfil, let there be no ill - will to me. Be Allah a witness to 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."
Now when Moses had fulfilled the term, and was travelling with his family, he perceived a fire in the direction of Mount Tur. He said to his family: "Tarry ye; I perceive a fire; I hope to bring you from there some information, or a burning firebrand, 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."
But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard from the right bank of the valley, from a tree in hallowed ground: "O Moses! Verily 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.
"Now do thou throw thy rod!" but when he saw it moving (of its own accord) as if it had been a snake, he turned back in retreat, and retraced not his steps: O Moses!" (It was said), "Draw near, and fear not: for 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."
"Move thy hand into thy bosom, and it will come forth white without stain (or harm), and draw thy hand close to thy side (to guard) against fear. Those are the two credentials from thy Lord to Pharaoh and his Chiefs: for truly they are a people rebellious and wicked."
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: "O my Lord! I have slain a man among them, and I fear lest they slay 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."
"And my brother Aaron - He is more eloquent in speech than I: so send him with me as a helper, to confirm (and strengthen) me: for I fear that they may accuse me of falsehood."
[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 certainly strengthen thy arm through thy brother, and invest you both with authority, so they shall not be able to touch you: with Our Sign shall ye triumph, - you two as well as those who follow you."
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."
When Moses came to them with Our clear signs, they said: "This is nothing but sorcery faked up: never did we head the like 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."
Moses said: "My Lord knows best who it is that comes with guidance from Him and whose end will be best in the Hereafter: certain it is that the wrong - doers will not prosper."
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."
Pharaoh said: "O Chiefs! no god do I know for you but myself: therefore, O Haman! light me a (kiln to bake bricks) out of clay, and build me a lofty palace, that I may mount up to the god of Moses: but as far as I am concerned, I think (Moses) is a liar!"
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 was arrogant and insolent in the land, beyond reason, - He and his hosts: they thought that they would not have to return 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.
So We seized him and his hosts, and We flung them into the sea: Now behold what was the end of those who did wrong!
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 (but) leaders inviting to the Fire; and on the Day of Judgment no help shall they find.
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.
in this world We made a curse to follow them and on the Day of Judgment they will be among the loathed (and despised).
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.
We did reveal to Moses the Book after We had destroyed the earlier generations, (to give) Insight to men, and guidance and Mercy, that they might receive admonition.
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.
Thou wast not on the Western side when We decreed the Commission to Moses, nor wast thou a witness (of those events).
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 raised up (new) generations, and long were the ages that passed over them; but thou wast not a dweller among the people of Madyan, rehearsing Our Signs to them; but it is We Who send messengers (with inspiration).
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.
Nor wast thou at the side of (the Mountain of) Tur when we called (to Moses). Yet (art thou sent) as Mercy from thy Lord, to give warning to a people to whom no warner had come before thee: in order that they may receive admonition.
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!"
If (We had) not (sent thee to the Quraish), - in case a calamity should seize them for (the deeds) that their hands have sent forth, they might say: "Our Lord! why didst Thou not sent us a messenger? We should then have followed Thy Signs and been amongst those who believe!"
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 (now), when the Truth has come to them from Ourselves, they say, "Why are not (Signs) sent to him, like those which were sent to Moses?" Do they not then reject (the Signs) which were formerly sent to Moses? They say: "Two kinds of sorcery, each assisting the other!" And they say: "For us, we reject all (such things)!"
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: "Then bring ye a Book from Allah, which is a better guide than either of them, that I may follow it! (do), 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.
But if they hearken not to thee, know that they only follow their own lusts: and who is more astray than one who follow his own lusts, devoid of guidance from Allah? for Allah guides not people given to wrong - doing.
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.
Now have We caused the Word to reach them themselves, in order that they may receive admonition.
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 to whom We sent the Book before this, - they do believe in this (revelation):
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 to them, they say: "We believe therein, for it is the Truth from our Lord: indeed we have been Muslims (bowing to Allah's Will) from before this.
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.
Twice will they be given their reward, for that they have persevered, that they avert Evil with Good, and that they spend (in charity) out of what We have given 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 vain talk, they turn away therefrom and say: "To us our deeds, and to you yours; peace be to you: we seek 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.
It is true thou wilt not be able to guide every one, whom thou lovest; but Allah guides those whom He will and He knows best those who receive guidance.
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.
They say: "If we were to follow the guidance with thee, we should be snatched away from our land." Have We not established for them a secure sanctuary, to which are brought as tribute fruits of all kinds, - a provision from Ourselves? but most of them understand 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 populations We destroyed, which exulted in their life (of ease and plenty)! now those habitations of theirs, after them, are deserted, - All but a (miserable) few! and We are their heirs!
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.
Nor was thy Lord the one to destroy a population until He had sent to its centre a messenger, rehearsing to them Our Signs; nor are We going to destroy a population except when its members practise iniquity.
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?
The (material) things which ye are given are but the conveniences of this life and the glitter thereof; but that which is with Allah is better and more enduring: will ye not then be wise?
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?
Are (these two) alike? - one to whom We have made a goodly promise, and who is going to reach its (fulfilment), and one to whom We have given the good things of this life, but who, on the Day of Judgment, is to be among those brought up (for punishment)?
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?"
That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say "Where are my 'partners'? - whom ye imagined (to be such)?"
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 against whom the charge will be proved, will say: "Our Lord! These are the ones whom we led astray: we led them astray, as we were astray ourselves: we free ourselves (from them) in Thy presence: it was not us they 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).
It will be said (to them): "Call upon your 'partners' (for help)": they will call upon them, but they will not listen to them; and they will see the Penalty (before them); (how they will wish) 'if only they had been open to guidance!'
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?"
That Day (Allah) will call to them, and say: "What was the answer ye gave 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.
Then the (whole) story that Day will seem obscure to them (like light to the blind) and they will not be able (even) to question each other.
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 any that (in this life) had repented, believed, and worked righteousness, will have hopes to be among those who achieve salvation.
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 does create and choose as He pleases: no choice have they (in the matter): Glory to Allah! and far is He above the partners they ascribe (to 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 knows all that their hearts conceal and all that they reveal.
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 but He. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last: for Him is the Command, and to Him shall ye (all) 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: See ye? If Allah were to make the night perpetual over you to the Day of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you enlightenment? Will ye not then hearken?
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: See ye? If Allah were to make the day perpetual over you to the Day of Judgment, what god is there other than Allah, who can give you a night in which ye can 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.
It is out of His Mercy that He has made for you Night and Day, - that ye may rest therein, and that ye may seek of his Grace; - and in order that ye may be grateful.
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?"
The Day that He will call on them, He will say: "Where are my 'partners'? whom ye imagined (to be such)?"
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 from each people shall We draw a witness, and We shall say: "Produce your Proof": then shall they know that the Truth is in Allah (alone), and the (lies) which they invented will leave them in lurch.
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,
Qarun was doubtless, of the people of Moses; but he acted insolently towards them: such were the treasures We had bestowed on him that their very keys would have been a burden to a body of strong men, behold, his people said to him: "Exult not, for Allah loveth not those who exult (in riches).
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, with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on thee, the Home of the Hereafter, nor forget thy portion in this world: but do thou good, as Allah has been good to thee, and seek not (occasions for) mischief in the land: for Allah loves not those who do mischief."
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: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have." Did he not know that Allah had destroyed, before him, (whole) generations, - which were superior to him in strength and greater in the amount (of riches) they had collected? but the wicked are not called (immediately) to account for 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."
So he went forth among his people in the (pride of his wordly) glitter. Said those whose aim is the Life of this World: "Oh! that we had the like of what Qarun has got! for he is truly a lord of mighty 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 granted (true) knowledge said: "Alas for you! The reward of Allah (in the Hereafter) is best for those who believe and work righteousness: but this none shall attain, save those who steadfastly persevere (in good)."
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.
Then We caused the earth to swallow up him and his house; and he had not (the least little) party to help him against Allah, nor could he defend himself.
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 those who had envied his position the day before began to say on the morrow: "Ah! it is indeed Allah Who enlarges the provision or restricts it, to any of His servants He pleases! had it not been that Allah was gracious to us, He could have caused the earth to swallow us up! Ah! those who reject Allah will assuredly 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.
That Home of the Hereafter We shall give to those who intend not high - handedness or mischief on earth: and the end is (best) for the righteous.
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.
If any does good, the reward to him is better than his deed; but if any does evil, the doers of evil are only punished (to the extent) of their deeds.
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.
Verily He Who ordained the Qur'an for thee, will bring thee back to the Place of Return. Say: "My Lord knows best who it is that brings true guidance, and who is in manifest error."
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.
And thou hadst not expected that the Book would be sent to thee except as a Mercy from thy Lord: Therefore lend not thou support in any way to those who reject (Allah's Message).
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 nothing keep thee back from the Signs of Allah after they have been revealed to thee: and invite (men) to thy Lord, and be not of the company of those who join gods with Allah.
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 call not, besides Allah, on another god. There is no god but He. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back.
