By the wise Qur'an.
By the Qur'an, full of Wisdom, -
Bei dem weisen Qur'an,
Indeed you, [O Muhammad], are from among the messengers,
Thou art indeed one of the messengers,
du bist wahrlich einer der Gesandten
On a straight path.
On a Straight Way.
auf einem geraden Weg.
[This is] a revelation of the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
It is a Revelation sent down by (Him), the Exalted in Might, Most Merciful.
(Er ist) die Offenbarung des Allmächtigen und Barmherzigen,
That you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware.
In order that thou mayest admonish a people, whose fathers had received no admonition, and who therefore remain heedless (of the Signs of Allah).
damit du ein Volk warnst, dessen Väter nicht gewarnt wurden, so daß sie (gegenüber allem) unachtsam sind.
Already the word has come into effect upon most of them, so they do not believe.
The Word is proved true against the greater part of them: for they do not believe.
Das Wort ist ja gegen die meisten von ihnen unvermeidlich fällig geworden, so glauben sie nicht.
Indeed, We have put shackles on their necks, and they are to their chins, so they are with heads [kept] aloft.
We have put yokes round their necks right up to their chins, so that their heads are forced up (and they cannot see).
Gewiß, Wir haben um ihre Hälse Fesseln gelegt. Sie reichen bis zum Kinn, so daß sie den Kopf hochhalten (müssen).
And We have put before them a barrier and behind them a barrier and covered them, so they do not see.
And We have put a bar in front of them and a bar behind them, and further, We have covered them up; so that they cannot see.
Und Wir haben vor ihnen eine Sperrmauer errichtet und hinter ihnen eine Sperrmauer und sie so überdeckt, daß sie nicht sehen (können).
And it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
The same is it to them whether thou admonish them or thou do not admonish them: they will not believe.
Und gleich ist es in Bezug auf sie, ob du sie warnst oder sie nicht warnst; sie glauben nicht.
You can only warn one who follows the message and fears the Most Merciful unseen. So give him good tidings of forgiveness and noble reward.
Thou canst but admonish such a one as follows the Message and fears the (Lord) Most Gracious, unseen: give such a one, therefore, good tidings, of Forgiveness and a Reward most generous.
Du kannst nur jemanden warnen, der der Ermahnung folgt und den Allerbarmer im Verborgenen fürchtet. So verkünde ihm Vergebung und trefflichen Lohn.
Indeed, it is We who bring the dead to life and record what they have put forth and what they left behind, and all things We have enumerated in a clear register.
Verily We shall give life to the dead, and We record that which they send before and that which they leave behind, and of all things have We taken account in a clear Book (of evidence).
Gewiß, Wir sind es, Die Wir die Toten wieder lebendig machen. Und Wir schreiben auf, was sie vorausgeschickt haben und (auch) ihre Spuren. Alles haben Wir in einem deutlichen Verzeichnis erfaßt.
And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -
Set forth to them, by way of a parable, the (story of) the Companions of the City. Behold!, there came messengers to it.
Und präge ihnen als Gleichnis die (Geschichte der) Bewohner der Stadt, als die Gesandten zu ihr kamen.
When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened them with a third, and they said, "Indeed, we are messengers to you."
When We (first) sent to them two messengers, they rejected them: But We strengthened them with a third: they said, "Truly, we have been sent on a mission to you."
Als Wir zwei zu ihnen sandten, da bezichtigten sie beide der Lüge, und so brachten Wir durch einen dritten Verstärkung. Sie sagten: "Gewiß, wir sind zu euch ge sandt."
They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."
The (people) said: "Ye are only men like ourselves; and (Allah) Most Gracious sends no sort of revelation: ye do nothing but lie."
Sie sagten: "Ihr seid nur menschliche Wesen wie wir. Nichts (als Offenbarung) hat der Allerbarmer herabgesandt. Ihr lügt nur."
They said, "Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you,
They said: "Our Lord doth know that we have been sent on a mission to you:
Sie sagten: "Unser Herr weiß (es), wir sind wirklich zu euch gesandt.
And we are not responsible except for clear notification."
"And our duty is only to proclaim the clear Message."
Und uns obliegt nur die deutliche Übermittelung (der Botschaft)."
They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."
The (people) said: "for us, we augur an evil omen from you: if ye desist not, we will certainly stone you. And a grievous punishment indeed will be inflicted on you by us."
Sie sagten: "Wir sehen in euch ein böses Vorzeichen. Wenn ihr nicht aufhört, werden wir euch ganz gewiß steinigen, und euch wird ganz gewiß schmerzhafte Strafe von uns widerfahren."
They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."
They said: "Your evil omens are with yourselves: (deem ye this an evil omen). If ye are admonished? Nay, but ye are a people transgressing all bounds!"
Sie sagten: "Euer Vorzeichen ist bei euch (selbst). (Ist es ein böses Vorzeichen,) wenn ihr ermahnt werdet? Aber nein! Ihr seid maßlose Leute."
And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, "O my people, follow the messengers.
Then there came running, from the farthest part of the City, a man, saying, "O my people! Obey the messengers:
Und es kam vom äußersten Ende der Stadt ein Mann gelaufen. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, folgt den Gesandten.
Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided.
"Obey those who ask no reward of you (for themselves), and who have themselves received Guidance.
Folgt denjenigen, die von euch keinen Lohn verlangen und (selbst) rechtgeleitet sind.
And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned?
"It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.
Und warum sollte ich nicht Demjenigen dienen, Der mich erschaffen hat und zu Dem ihr zurückgebracht werdet?
Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me?
"Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me.
Soll ich mir etwa anstatt Seiner (andere) Götter nehmen? Wenn der Allerbarmer für mich Unheil will, nützt mir ihre Fürsprache nichts, und sie (können) mich nicht erretten.
Indeed, I would then be in manifest error.
"I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.
Ich würde mich dann wahrlich in deutlichem Irrtum befinden.
Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me."
"For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!"
Gewiß, ich glaube an euren Herrn, so hört auf mich."
It was said, "Enter Paradise." He said, "I wish my people could know
It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew (what I know)! -
Es wurde (zu ihm) gesagt: "Geh in den (Paradies)garten ein." Er sagte: "O wüßte doch mein Volk davon,
Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored."
"For that my Lord has granted me Forgiveness and has enrolled me among those held in honour!"
daß mein Herr mir vergeben und mich zu den Geehrten hat gehören lassen!"
And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.
And We sent not down against his People, after him, any hosts from heaven, nor was it needful for Us so to do.
Wir sandten gegen sein Volk nach ihm keine Heerschar vom Himmel herab; Wir brauchten auch sonst nichts (gegen sie) herabzusenden.
It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.
It was no more than a single mighty Blast, and behold! they were (like ashes) quenched and silent.
Es war nur ein einziger Schrei (nötig), da waren sie sogleich ausgelöscht.
How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.
Ah! Alas for (My) Servants! There comes not a messenger to them but they mock him!
O schade um die Diener! Es kommt kein Gesandter zu ihnen, ohne daß sie sich über ihn lustig machen würden.
Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them - that they to them will not return?
See they not how many generations before them we destroyed? Not to them will they return:
Sehen sie denn nicht, wie viele Geschlechter Wir vor ihnen vernichtet haben, und daß sie zu ihnen nicht zurückkehren?
And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.
But each one of them all - will be brought before Us (for judgment).

And a sign for them is the dead earth. We have brought it to life and brought forth from it grain, and from it they eat.
A Sign for them is the earth that is dead: We do give it life, and produce grain therefrom, of which ye do eat.

And We placed therein gardens of palm trees and grapevines and caused to burst forth therefrom some springs -
And We produce therein orchard with date - palms and vines, and We cause springs to gush forth therein:

That they may eat of His fruit. And their hands have not produced it, so will they not be grateful?
That they may enjoy the fruits of this (artistry): It was not their hands that made this: will they not then give thanks?
damit sie von seinen Früchten essen (können). Nicht ihre Hände haben sie geschaffen. Wollen sie denn nicht dankbar sein?
Exalted is He who created all pairs - from what the earth grows and from themselves and from that which they do not know.
Glory to Allah, Who created in pairs all things that the earth produces, as well as their own (human) kind and (other) things of which they have no knowledge.
Preis sei Demjenigen, Der die Paare alle erschaffen hat von dem, was die Erde wachsen läßt, von ihnen selbst und von dem, was sie nicht wissen!
And a sign for them is the night. We remove from it [the light of] day, so they are [left] in darkness.

And the moon - We have determined for it phases, until it returns [appearing] like the old date stalk.
And the Moon, - We have measured for her mansions (to traverse) till she returns like the old (and withered) lower part of a date - stalk.
Und dem Mond haben Wir das rechte Maß in Himmelspunkten festgesetzt, bis er wieder wie ein alter Dattelrispenstiel wird.
It is not allowable for the sun to reach the moon, nor does the night overtake the day, but each, in an orbit, is swimming.
It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the Night outstrip the Day: Each (just) swims along in (its own) orbit (according to Law).
Weder ziemt es der Sonne, den Mond einzuholen, noch wird die Nacht dem Tag zuvorkommen; alle laufen in einer (jeweils eigenen) Umlaufbahn.
And a sign for them is that We carried their forefathers in a laden ship.

But when it is said to them, "Beware of what is before you and what is behind you; perhaps you will receive mercy... "
When they are told, "Fear ye that which is before you and that which will be after you, in order that ye may receive Mercy," (they turn back).
Und wenn zu ihnen gesagt wird: "Hütet euch vor dem, was vor euch, und dem, was hinter euch ist, auf daß ihr Erbarmen finden möget!" (..., wenden sie sich ab.)
And no sign comes to them from the signs of their Lord except that they are from it turning away.

And when it is said to them, "Spend from that which Allah has provided for you," those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Should we feed one whom, if Allah had willed, He would have fed? You are not but in clear error."

Und wenn zu ihnen gesagt wird: "Gebt von dem aus, womit Allah euch versorgt hat", sagen diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, zu denjenigen, die glauben: "Sollen wir jemanden ernähren, den Allah, wenn Er wollte, ernähren würde? Ihr befindet euch nur in deutlichem Irrtum."

And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, nor to their people can they return.

Ihr sollt ihr heute ausgesetzt sein dafür, daß ihr ungläubig wart."
That Day, We will seal over their mouths, and their hands will speak to Us, and their feet will testify about what they used to earn.
That Day shall We set a seal on their mouths. But their hands will speak to us, and their feet bear witness, to all that they did.

And if We willed, We could have obliterated their eyes, and they would race to [find] the path, and how could they see?

And We did not give Prophet Muhammad, knowledge of poetry, nor is it befitting for him. It is not but a message and a clear Qur'an
We have not instructed the (Prophet) in Poetry, nor is it meet for him: this is no less than a Message and a Qur'an making things clear:
Und Wir haben ihn nicht das Dichten gelehrt, und es ziemt ihm (auch) nicht. Das ist doch nur eine Ermahnung und ein deutlicher Qur'an,
To warn whoever is alive and justify the word against the disbelievers.

Yet they take (for worship) gods other than Allah, (hoping) that they might be helped!
Und sie haben sich anstatt Allahs Götter genommen, auf daß sie Hilfe finden mögen.
They are not able to help them, and they [themselves] are for them soldiers in attendance.
They have not the power to help them: but they will be brought up (before Our Judgment - seat) as a troop (to be condemned).
Sie können ihnen jedoch keine Hilfe gewähren, obwohl sie ihnen als eine (dienstbereite) Heerschar vorgeführt werden.
So let not their speech grieve you. Indeed, We know what they conceal and what they declare.

And he presents for Us an example and forgets his [own] creation. He says, "Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?"
And he makes comparisons for Us, and forgets his own (origin and) Creation: He says, "Who can give life to (dry) bones and decomposed ones (at that)?"
Er führt Uns ein Beispiel an und vergißt seine (eigene) Erschaffung. Er sagt: "Wer macht die Knochen wieder lebendig, wenn sie zerfallen sind?"
Say, "He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing."
Say, "He will give them life Who created them for the first time! for He is Well - versed in every kind of creation! -
Sag: Wieder lebendig macht sie Derjenige, Der sie das erste Mal hat entstehen lassen. Und Er weiß über jede Schöpfung Bescheid,

Hat nicht Derjenige, Der die Himmel und die Erde erschaffen hat, (auch) die Macht, ihresgleichen zu erschaffen? Ja doch! Und Er ist der Allerschaffer und Allwissende.
His command is only when He intends a thing that He says to it, "Be," and it is.
Verily, when He intends a thing, His Command is, "be", and it is!
Sein Befehl, wenn Er etwas will, ist, dazu nur zu sagen: ,Sei!', und so ist es.
So exalted is He in whose hand is the realm of all things, and to Him you will be returned.
So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him will ye be all brought back.
