Als deine Schwester hinging und sagte: .Soll ich euch auf jemanden hinweisen, der ihn betreuen würde? So gaben Wir dich deiner Mutter wieder, damit sie frohen Mutes und nicht traurig sei. Und du tötetest eine Seele, und da erretteten Wir dich aus dem Kummer, und Wir unterzogen dich einer harten Prüfung. So verweiltest du jahrelang unter den Leuten von Madyan. Hierauf kamst du zu einer vorausbe stimmten Zeit, o Musa.

Uns ist ja (als Offenbarung) eingegeben worden, daß die Strafe denjenigen überkommt, der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt'."

Er sagte: "Wer ist denn euer beider Herr, o Musa?"
(Firon) said: And who is your Lord, O Musa?

Er sagte: "Unser Herr ist derjenige, der allem seine Natur gegeben und (es) hierauf rechtgeleitet hat."
He said: Our Lord is He Who gave to everything its creation, then guided it (to its goal).
(Pharaoh) said: "What then is the condition of previous generations?"
He said: What then is the state of the generations of old ?
Er sagte: "Wie steht es denn mit den früheren Geschlechtern?"
He said: Then what is the state of the former generations?
He replied: "The knowledge of that is with my Lord, duly recorded: my Lord never errs, nor forgets, -
He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a Record. My Lord neither erreth nor forgetteth,
Er sagte: "Das Wissen um sie ist bei meinem Herrn in .einem Buch. Mein Herr im nicht, noch vergißt Er."
He said: The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a book, my Lord errs not, nor does He forget;
"He Who has, made for you the earth like a carpet spread out; has enabled you to go about therein by roads (and channels); and has sent down water from the sky." With it have We produced diverse pairs of plants each separate from the others.
Who hath appointed the earth as a bed and hath threaded roads for you therein and hath sent down water from the sky and thereby We have brought forth divers kinds of vegetation,
(Er ist es,) Der euch die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht und für euch auf ihr Wege sich hinziehen und vom Himmel Wasser herabkommen läßt, womit Wir dann Arten verschiedener Gewächse hervorbringen.
Who made the earth for you an expanse and made for you therein paths and sent down water from the cloud; then thereby We have brought forth many species of various herbs.
Eat (for yourselves) and pasture your cattle: verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.
(Saying): Eat ye and feed your cattle. Lo! herein verily are portents for men of thought.
Eßt und weidet euer Vieh. Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Eat and pasture your cattle; most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
From the (earth) did We create you, and into it shall We return you, and from it shall We bring you out once again.
Thereof We created you, and thereunto We return you, and thence We bring you forth a second time.
Aus ihr haben Wir euch erschaffen, und in sie bringen Wir euch zurück, und aus ihr bringen Wir euch ein anderes Mal hervor.
From it We created you and into it We shall send you back and from it will We raise you a second time.
And We showed Pharaoh all Our Signs, but he did reject and refuse.
And We verily did show him all Our tokens, but he denied them and refused.
Und Wir zeigten ihm ja Unsere Zeichen alle, aber er erklärte (sie) für Lüge und weigerte sich.
And truly We showed him Our signs, all of them, but he rejected and refused.
He said: "Hast thou come to drive us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses?
He said: Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic, O Moses ?
Er sagte: "Bist du zu uns gekommen, um uns aus unserem Land mit deiner Zauberei zu vertreiben, o Musa?
Said he: Have you come to us that you should turn us out of our land by your magic, O Musa?
"But we can surely produce magic to match thine! So make a tryst between us and thee, which we shall not fail to keep - neither we nor thou - in a place where both shall have even chances."
But we surely can produce for thee magic the like thereof; so appoint a tryst between us and you, which neither we nor thou shall fail to keep, at a place convenient (to us both).
Aber wir werden dir ganz gewiß Zauberei gleicher Art bringen. So setze zwischen uns und dir eine Verabredung(szeit) fest, die weder wir noch du verfehlen werden, an einem Ort, der (uns allen) gleichermaßen recht ist."
So we too will produce before you magic like it, therefore make between us and you an appointment, which we should not break, (neither) we nor you, (in) a central place.
Moses said: "Your tryst is the Day of the Festival, and let the people be assembled when the sun is well up."
(Moses) said: Your tryst shall be the day of the feast, and let the people assemble when the sun hath risen high.
Er sagte: "Eure Verabredung(szeit) soll der Tag des Schmuckfestes sein, und die Menschen sollen am hellen Morgen versammelt werden."
(Musa) said: Your appointment is the day of the Festival and let the people be gathered together in the early forenoon.
So Pharaoh withdrew: He concerted his plan, and then came (back).
Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength, then came (to the appointed tryst).
Und so kehrte sich Fir'aun ab, und dann nahm er seine ganze List zusammen. Hierauf kam er.
So Firon turned his back and settled his plan, then came.
Moses said to him: Woe to you! Forge not ye a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you (at once) utterly by chastisement: the forger must suffer frustration!"
Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth miserably.
Musa sagte zu ihnen: "Wehe euch! Ersinnt gegen Allah keine Lüge, sonst vertilgt Er euch durch eine Strafe. Enttäuscht wird ja, wer Lügen ersinnt."
Musa said to them: Woe to you! do not forge a lie against Allah, lest He destroy you by a punishment, and he who forges (a lie) indeed fails to attain (his desire).
So they disputed, one with another, over their affair, but they kept their talk secret.
Then they debated one with another what they must do, and they kept their counsel secret.
Da stritten sie untereinander über ihre Angelegenheit und führten insgeheim vertrauliche Gespräche.
So they disputed with one another about their affair and kept the discourse secret.
They said: "These two are certainly (expert) magicians: their object is to drive you out from your land with their magic, and to do away with your most cherished institutions.
They said: Lo! these are two wizards who would drive you out from your country by their magic, and destroy your best traditions;
Sie sagten: "Diese beiden sind wahrlich nur Zauberer, die euch aus eurem Land mit ihrem Zauber vertreiben und eure vorbildliche Lebensweise beseitigen wollen.
They said: These are most surely two magicians who wish to turn you out from your land by their magic and to take away your best traditions.
"Therefore concert your plan, and then assemble in (serried) ranks: He wins (all along) today who gains the upper hand."
So arrange your plan, and come in battle line. Whoso is uppermost this day will be indeed .
So einigt euch auf eure List, hierauf kommt in Reihen. Und wohl ergehen wird es ja heute demjenigen, der die Oberhand gewinnt."
Therefore settle your plan, then come standing in ranks and he will prosper indeed this day who overcomes.
They said: "O Moses! whether wilt thou that thou throw (first) or that we be the first to throw?"
They said: O Moses! Either throw first, or let us be the first to throw ?
Sie sagten: "O Musa, entweder wirfst du, oder wir werden es sein, die zuerst werfen."
They said: O Musa! will you cast, or shall we be the first who cast down?
He said, "Nay, throw ye first!" Then behold their ropes and their rods - so it seemed to him on account of their magic - began to be in lively motion!
He said: Nay, do ye throw! Then lo! their cords and their staves, by their magic, appeared to him as though they ran.
Er sagte: "Nein! Vielmehr werft ihr (zuerst)." Und sogleich kamen ihm ihre Stricke und Stöcke durch ihre Zauberei so vor, als ob sie sich rasch bewegten.
He said: Nay! cast down. then lo! their cords and their rods - - it was imaged to him on account of their magic as if they were running.
So Moses conceived in his mind a (sort of) fear.
And Moses conceived a fear in his mind.
Und er, Musa, empfand Furcht in seiner Seele.
So Musa conceived in his mind a fear.
We said: "Fear not! for thou hast indeed the upper hand:
We said: Fear not! Lo! thou art the higher.
Wir sagten: "Fürchte dich nicht; du, ja gewiß du, wirst die Oberhand gewinnen.
We said: Fear not, surely you shall be the uppermost,
"Throw that which is in thy right hand: Quickly will it swallow up that which they have faked what they have faked is but a magician's trick: and the magician thrives not, (no matter) where he goes."
Throw that which is in thy right hand! It will eat up that which they have made. Lo! that which they have made is but a wizard's artifice, and a wizard shall not be to whatever point (of skill) he may attain.
Wirf hin, was in deiner Rechten ist, so verschlingt es das, was sie gemacht haben. Was sie gemacht haben, ist nur die List eines Zauberers, und dem Zauberer wird es nicht wohl ergehen, wohin er auch kommen mag ."
And cast down what is in your right hand; it shall devour what they have wrought; they have wrought only the plan of a magician, and the magician shall not be wheresoever he may come from.
So the magicians were thrown down to prostration: they said, "We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses".
Then the wizards were (all) flung down prostrate, crying: We believe in the Lord of Aaron and Moses.
Da warfen sich die Zauberer ehrerbietig nieder. Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn Haruns und Musas."
And the magicians were cast down making obeisance; they said: We believe in the Lord of Haroun and Musa.
(Pharaoh) said: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this must be your leader, who has taught you magic! be sure I will cut off your hands and feet on opposite sides, and I will have you crucified on trunks of palm - trees: so shall ye know for certain, which of us can give the more severe and the more lasting punishment!"
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment.
Er (Fir'aun) sagte: "Ihr glaubt an ihn, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Er ist wahrlich euer Ältester, der euch die Zauberei gelehrt hat. So werde ich ganz gewiß eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch ganz gewiß an Palmstämmen kreuzigen (lassen). Und ihr werdet ganz gewiß erfahren, wer von uns strenger im Strafen und beständiger ist."
(Firon) said: You believe in him before I give you leave; most surely he is the chief of you who taught you enchantment, therefore I will certainly cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will certainly crucify you on the trunks of the palm trees, and certainly you will come to know which of us is the more severe and the more abiding in chastising.
They said: "Never shall we regard thee as more than the Clear Signs that have come to us, or than Him Who created us! so decree whatever thou desirest to decree: for thou canst only decree (touching) the life of this world.
They said: We choose thee not above the clear proofs that have come unto us, and above Him Who created us. So decree what thou wilt decree. Thou wilt end for us only this life of the world.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden dich nicht dem vorziehen, was an klaren Beweisen zu uns gekommen ist, und (vor) Demjenigen, Der uns erschaffen hat. So entscheide, was du entscheiden magst; du entscheidest nur über dieses irdische Leben.
They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life.
"For us, we have believed in our Lord: may He forgive us our faults, and the magic to which thou didst compel us: for Allah is Best and Most Abiding."
Lo! we believe in our Lord, that He may forgive us our sins and the magic unto which thou didst force us. Allah is better and more lasting.
Wir glauben an unseren Herrn, damit Er uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe und (auch) die Zauberei, zu der du uns gezwungen hast. Allah ist besser und be ständiger."
Surely we believe in our Lord that He may forgive us our sins and the magic to which you compelled us; and Allah is better and more abiding.
Verily he who comes to his Lord as a sinner (at Judgment), - for him is Hell: therein shall he neither die nor live.
Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord, verily for him is hell. There he will neither die nor live.
Gewiß, wer zu seinem Herrn als Übeltäter kommt, für den gibt es die Hölle; darin wird er weder sterben noch leben.
Whoever comes to his Lord (being) guilty, for him is surely hell; he shall not die therein, nor shall he live.
But such as come to Him as Believers who have worked righteous deeds, - for them are ranks exalted, -
But whoso cometh unto Him a believer, having done good works, for such are the high stations;
Wer zu Ihm als Gläubiger kommt, der rechtschaffene Werke getan hat, für jene gibt es die höchsten Rangstufen,
And whoever comes to Him a believer (and) he has done good deeds indeed, these it is who shall have the high ranks,
Gardens of Eternity, beneath which flow rivers: they will dwell therein for aye: such is the reward of those who purify themselves (from evil).
Gardens of Eden underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide for ever. That is the reward of him who groweth.
die Gärten Edens, durcheilt von Bächen; ewig darin zu bleiben. Das ist der Lohn desjenigen, der sich läutert.
The gardens of perpetuity, beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein; and this is the reward of him who has purified himself.
We sent an inspiration to Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike a dry path for them through the sea, without fear of being overtaken (by Pharaoh) and without (any other) fear."
And verily We inspired Moses, saying: Take away My slaves by night and strike for them a dry path in the sea, fearing not to be overtaken, neither being afraid (of the sea).
Und Wir gaben Musa ja (als Offenbarung) ein: "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort und schlage ihnen einen trockenen Weg durch das Meer; du befürch test weder, eingeholt zu werden, noch hast du Angst'."
And certainly We revealed to Musa, saying: Travel by night with My servants, then make for them a dry path in the sea, not fearing to be overtaken, nor being afraid.
Then Pharaoh pursued them with his forces, but the waters completely overwhelmed them and covered them up.
Then Pharaoh followed them with his hosts and there covered them that which did cover them of the sea.
Da verfolgte sie Fir'aun mit seinen Heerscharen, und es überdeckte sie vom Meer, was sie überdeckte.
And Firon followed them with his armies, so there came upon them of the sea that which came upon them.
Pharaoh led his people astray instead of leading them aright.
And Pharaoh led his folk astray, he did not guide them.
Fir'aun hatte sein Volk in die Irre geführt und nicht rechtgeleitet.
And Firon led astray his people and he did not guide (them) aright.
O ye Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a Covenant with you on the right side of Mount (Sinai), and We sent down to you Manna and quails:
O Children of Israel! We delivered you from your enemy, and we made a covenant with you on the holy mountain's side, and sent down on you the manna and the quails,
O Kinder Isra'ils, Wir retteten euch ja vor eurem Feind, verabredeten Uns mit euch auf der rechten Seite des Berges und sandten das Manna und die Wachteln auf euch hinab:
O children of Israel! indeed We delivered you from your enemy, and We made a covenant with you on the blessed side of the mountain, and We sent to you the manna and the quails.
(Saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for your sustenance, but commit no excess therein, lest My Wrath should justly descend on you: and those on whom descends My Wrath do perish indeed!
(Saying): Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you, and transgress not in respect thereof lest My wrath come upon you: and he on whom My wrath cometh, he is lost indeed.
"Eßt von den guten Dingen, mit denen Wir euch versorgt haben, und lehnt euch dabei nicht (durch Undankbarkeit) auf, sonst bricht Mein Zorn über euch herein; denn derjenige, über den Mein Zorn hereinbricht, wird sicherlich stürzen.
Eat of the good things We have given you for sustenance, and be not inordinate with respect to them, lest My wrath should be due to you, and to whomsoever My wrath is due be shall perish indeed.
"But, without doubt, I am (also) He that forgives again and again, to those who repent, believe, and do right, who, - in fine, are ready to receive true guidance."
And lo! verily I am Forgiving toward him who repenteth and believeth and doeth good, and afterward walketh aright.
Und Ich bin wahrlich Allvergebend für denjenigen, der bereut und glaubt und rechtschaffen handelt und sich hierauf rechtleiten läßt."
And most surely I am most Forgiving to him who repents and believes and does good, then continues to follow the right direction.
(When Moses was up on the Mount, Allah said:) "What made thee hasten in advance of thy people, O Moses?"
And (it was said): What hath made thee hasten from thy folk, O Moses ?
Und was hat dich veranlaßt, von deinem Volk fortzueilen, o Musa?
And what caused you to hasten from your people, O Musa?
He replied: "Behold, they are close on my footsteps: I hastened to thee, O my Lord, to please thee."
He said: They are close upon my track. I hastened unto Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be well pleased.
Er sagte: "Sie folgen mir doch auf der Spur. Und ich bin zu Dir geeilt, mein Herr, damit Du (mit mir) zufrieden seiest."
He said: They are here on my track and I hastened on to Thee, my Lord, that Thou mightest be pleased.
(Allah) said: "We have tested thy people in thy absence: the Samiri has led them astray."
He said: Lo! We have tried thy folk in thine absence, and As - Samiri hath misled them.
Er sagte: "Wir haben dein Volk der Versuchung ausgesetzt, nachdem du (weggegangen) warst, und der Samiri hat sie in die Irre geführt."
He said: So surely We have tried your people after you, and the Samiri has led them astray.
So Moses returned to his people in a state of indignation and sorrow. He said: "O my people! did not your Lord make a handsome promise to you? Did then the promise seem to you long (in coming)? Or did ye desire that Wrath should descend from your Lord on you, and so ye broke your promise to me?"
Then Moses went back unto his folk, angry and sad. He said: O my people! Hath not your Lord promised you a fair promise ? Did the time appointed then appear too long for you, or did ye wish that wrath from your Lord should come upon you, that ye broke tryst with me ?
Da kam Musa zu seinem Volk zornig und bekümmert zurück. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, hat euch euer Herr nicht ein schönes Versprechen gegeben? Dauerte es euch mit dem Bund zu lange, oder wolltet ihr, daß Zorn von eurem Herrn über euch hereinbricht, so daß ihr die Vereinbarung mit mir gebrochen habt?"
So Musa returned to his people wrathful, sorrowing. Said he: O my people! did not your Lord promise you a goodly promise: did then the time seem long to you, or did you wish that displeasure from your Lord should be due to you, so that you broke (your) promise to me?
They said: "We broke not the promise to thee, as far as lay in our power: but we were made to carry the weight of the ornaments of the (whole) people, and we threw them (into the fire), and that was what the Samiri suggested.
They said: We broke not tryst with thee of our own will, but we were laden with burdens of ornaments of the folk, then cast them (in the fire), for thus As - Samiri proposed.
Sie sagten: "Wir haben die Vereinbarung mit dir nicht aus unserem (eigenen) Willen gebrochen, sondern wir trugen (ganze) Lasten von den Schmucksachen des Volkes, und dann haben wir sie geworfen, und ebenso hat der Samiri (welche) hineingelegt.
They said: We did not break (our) promise to you of our own accord, but we were made to bear the burdens of the ornaments of the people, then we made a casting of them, and thus did the Samiri suggest.
"Then he brought out (of the fire) before the (people) the image of a calf: It seemed to low: so they said: This is your god, and the god of Moses, but (Moses) has forgotten!"
Then he produced for them a calf, of saffron hue, which gave forth a lowing sound. And they cried: This is your god and the god of Moses, but he hath forgotten.
So brachte er ihnen ein Kalb hervor als Leib, das blökte. Sie sagten: ,Das ist euer Gott und der Gott Musas, aber er hat (es) vergessen'."
So he brought forth for them a calf, a (mere) body, which had a mooing sound, so they said: This is your god and the god of Musa, but he forgot.
Could they not see that it could not return them a word (for answer), and that it had no power either to harm them or to do them good?
See they not, then, that it returneth no saying unto them and possesseth for them neither hurt nor use ?
Sehen sie denn nicht, daß er ihnen kein Wort erwidert und ihnen weder Schaden noch Nutzen zu bringen vermag?
What! could they not see that it did not return to them a reply, and (that) it did not control any harm or benefit for them?
Aaron had already, before this said to them: "O my people! ye are being tested in this: for verily your Lord is (Allah) Most Gracious; so follow me and obey my command."
And Aaron indeed had told them beforehand: O my people! Ye are but being seduced therewith, for lo! your Lord is the Beneficent, so follow me and obey my order.
Harun hatte ihnen ja bereits zuvor gesagt: "O mein Volk, ihr seid damit nur der Versuchung ausgesetzt worden. Gewiß, euer Herr ist der Allerbarmer; so folgt mir und gehorcht meinem Befehl."
And certainly Haroun had said to them before: O my people! you are only tried by it, and surely your Lord is the Beneficent Allah, therefore follow me and obey my order.
They had said: "We will not abandon this cult, but we will devote ourselves to it until Moses returns to us."
They said: We shall by no means cease to be its votaries till Moses return unto us.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden nicht davon ablassen, uns seiner Andacht hinzugeben, bis Musa zu uns zurückkehrt."
They said: We will by no means cease to keep to its worship until Musa returns to us.
(Moses) said: "O Aaron! what kept thee back, when thou sawest them going wrong,
He (Moses) said: O Aaron! What held thee back when thou didst see them gone astray,
Er (Musa) sagte: "O Harun, was hat dich, als du sie irregehen sahst, davon abgehalten,
(Musa) said: O Haroun! what prevented you, when you saw them going astray,
"From following me? Didst thou then disobey my order?"
That thou followedst me not ? Hast thou then disobeyed my order ?
mir zu folgen? Hast du dich denn meinem Befehl widersetzt? "
So that you did not follow me? Did you then disobey my order?
(Aaron) replied: "O son of my mother! Seize (me) not by my beard nor by (the hair of) my head! Truly I feared lest thou shouldst say, 'Thou has caused a division among the children of Israel, and thou didst not respect my word!'"
He said: O son of my mother! Clutch not my beard nor my head! I feared lest thou shouldst say: Thou hast caused division among the Children of Israel, and hast not waited for my word.
Er sagte: "O Sohn meiner Mutter, pack mich nicht am Bart und nicht am Kopf. Ich fürchtete, du würdest sagen: ,Du hast unter den Kindern Isra'ils Zwietracht gestiftet und mein Wort nicht beachtet'."
He said: O son of my mother! seize me not by my beard nor by my head; surely I was afraid lest you should say: You have caused a division among the children of Israel and not waited for my word.
(Moses) said: "What then is thy case, O Samiri?"
(Moses) said: And what hast thou to say, O Samiri ?
Er sagte: "Doch was ist mit dir, o Samiri?"
He said: What was then your object, O Samiri?
He replied: "I saw what they saw not: so I took a handful (of dust) from the footprint of the Messenger, and threw it (into the calf): thus did my soul suggest to me."
He said: I perceived what they perceive not, so I seized a handful from the footsteps of the messenger, and then threw it in. Thus my soul commended to me.
Er sagte: "Ich gewahrte, was sie nicht gewahrten, und so faßte ich eine Handvoll (Erde) von der Spur des Gesandten und warf sie dann hin (ins Feuer). So habe ich es mir selbst eingeredet."
He said: I saw (Jibreel) what they did not see, so I took a handful (of the dust) from the footsteps of the messenger, then I threw it in the casting; thus did my soul commend to me
(Moses) said: "Get thee gone! but thy (punishment) in this life will be that thou wilt say, 'touch me not'; and moreover (for a future penalty) thou hast a promise that will not fail: Now look at thy god, of whom thou hast become a devoted worshipper: We will certainly (melt) it in a blazing fire and scatter it broadcast in the sea!"
(Moses) said: Then go! and lo! in this life it is for thee to say: Touch me not! and lo! there is for thee a tryst thou canst not break. Now look upon thy god of which thou hast remained a votary. Verily we will burn it and will scatter its dust over the sea.
Er sagte: "Geh weg! Es ist dir im Leben beschieden, zu sagen: .Berührt mich nicht! Und du hast eine Verabredung, die dir nicht gebrochen wird. Und schau auf deinen Gott, dessen Andacht du dich dauernd hingegeben hast. Wir werden ihn ganz gewiß verbrennen, und hierauf werden wir ihn ganz gewiß in das große Gewässer streuen.
He said: Begone then, surely for you it will be in this life to say, Touch (me) not; and surely there is a threat for you, which shall not be made to fail to you, and look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea.
But the god of you all is the One Allah: there is no god but He: all things He comprehends in His knowledge.
Your God is only Allah, than Whom there is no other God. He embraceth all things in His knowledge.
Euer Gott ist allein Allah, außer Dem es keinen Gott gibt. Er umfaßt alles mit (Seinem) Wissen."
Your Allah is only Allah, there is no god but He; He comprehends all things in (His) knowledge.
Thus do We relate to thee some stories of what happened before: for We have sent thee a Message from Our own Presence.
Thus relate We unto thee (Muhammad) some tidings of that which happened of old, and We have given thee from Our presence a reminder.
Auf diese Weise erzählen Wir dir (einiges) von den Berichten dessen, was früher geschah. Und Wir haben dir ja von Uns aus eine Ermahnung gegeben.
Thus do We relate to you (some) of the news of what has gone before; and indeed We have given to you a Reminder from Ourselves.
If any do turn away therefrom, verily they will bear a burden on the Day of judgment;
Whoso turneth away from it, he verily will bear a burden on the Day of Resurrection,
Wer sich davon abwendet, der wird am Tag der Auferstehung eine (drückende) Last tragen,
Whoever turns aside from it, he shall surely bear a burden on the day of resurrection
They will abide in this (state): and grievous will the burden be to them on that Day, -
Abiding under it - an evil burden for them on the Day of Resurrection,
ewig darin zu bleiben. Wie böse wird (dies) für sie am Tag der Auferstehung als Last sein!
Abiding in this (state), and evil will it be for them to bear on the day of resurrection;
The Day when the Trumpet will be sounded: that Day, We shall gather the sinful, blear - eyed (with terror).
The day when the Trumpet is blown. On that day we assemble the guilty white - eyed (with terror),
Am Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und Wir die Übeltäter als Leute mit blauen Augen versammeln.
On the day when the trumpet shall be blown, and We will gather the guilty, blue - eyed, on that day
In whispers will they consult each other: "Yet tarried not longer than ten (Days);
Murmuring among themselves: Ye have tarried but ten (days).
Sie flüstern einander zu: "Ihr habt nur zehn (Nächte) verweilt."
They shall consult together secretly: You did tarry but ten (centuries).
We know best what they will say, when their leader most eminent in conduct will say: "Ye tarried not longer than a day!"
We are Best Aware of what they utter when their best in conduct say: Ye have tarried but a day.
Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie sagen, wenn der Vorbildlichste von ihnen in seinem Verhalten sagen wird: "Ihr habt nur einen Tag verweilt."
We know best what they say, when the fairest of them in course would say: You tarried but a day.
They ask thee concerning the Mountains: say, "My Lord will uproot them and scatter them as dust;
They will ask thee of the mountains (on that day). Say: My Lord will break them into scattered dust.
Sie fragen dich nach den Bergen. Sag: Mein Herr wird sie wie Staub zerstreuen
And they ask you about the mountains. Say: My Lord will carry them away from the roots.
"He will leave them as plains smooth and level;
And leave it as an empty plain,
und sie dann als leere Ebene zurücklassen,
Then leave it a plain, smooth level
"Nothing crooked or curved wilt thou see in their place."
Wherein thou seest neither curve nor ruggedness.
worauf du weder eine Vertiefung noch Erhebung siehst.
You shall not see therein any crookedness or unevenness.
On that Day will they follow the Caller (straight): no crookedness (can they show) him: all sounds shall humble themselves in the Presence of (Allah) Most Gracious: nothing shalt thou hear but the tramp of their feet (as they march).
On that day they follow the summoner who deceiveth not, and voices are hushed for the Beneficent, and thou hearest but a faint murmur.
An jenem Tag folgen sie dem Rufer, bei dem es nichts Krummes gibt; die Stimmen senken sich in Demut vor dem Allerbarmer, so daß du nichts hörst außer Flüstern.
On that day they shall follow the inviter, there is no crookedness in him, and the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.
On that Day shall no intercession avail except for those for whom permission has been granted by (Allah) Most Gracious and whose word is acceptable to Him.
On that day no intercession availeth save (that of) him unto whom the Beneficent hath given leave and whose word He accepteth.
An jenem Tag nützt die Fürsprache nicht, außer durch denjenigen, dem es der Allerbarmer erlaubt und mit dessen Worten Er zufrieden ist.
On that day shall no intercession avail except of him whom the Beneficent Allah allows and whose word He is pleased with.
He knows what (appears to His creatures as) before or after or behind them: but they shall not compass it with their knowledge.
He knoweth (all) that is before them and (all) that is behind them, while they cannot compass it in knowledge.
Er weiß, was vor ihnen und was hinter ihnen liegt, sie aber umfassen es nicht mit (ihrem) Wissen.
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, while they do not comprehend it in knowledge.
(All) faces shall be humbled before (Him) - the Living, the Self - Subsisting, Eternal: hopeless indeed will be the man that carries iniquity (on his back).
And faces humble themselves before the Living, the Eternal. And he who beareth (a burden of) wrongdoing is indeed a failure (on that day).
Demütig werden sich die Gesichter vor dem Lebendigen und Beständigen senken. Und wirklich enttäuscht wird, wer (als Last begangenes) Unrecht trägt.
And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self - subsistent Allah, and he who bears iniquity is indeed a failure.
But he who works deeds of righteousness, and has faith, will have no fear of harm nor of any curtailment (of what is his due).
And he who hath done some good works, being a believer, he feareth not injustice nor begrudging (of his wage).
Wer aber etwas an rechtschaffenen Werken tut und dabei gläubig ist, der wird kein Unrecht und keine (Lohn)minderung befürchten.
And whoever does good works and he is a believer, he shall have no fear of injustice nor of the withholding of his due.
Thus have We sent this down - an arabic Qur'an - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear Allah, or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him).
Thus we have revealed it as a Lecture in Arabic, and have displayed therein certain threats, that peradventure they may keep from evil or that it may cause them to take heed.
Und so haben Wir ihn als einen arabischen Qur'an hinabgesandt. Und Wir haben darin verschiedene Androhungen dargelegt, auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen oder er bei ihnen Gedenken (Allahs) hervorrufe.
And thus have We sent it down an Arabic Quran, and have distinctly set forth therein of threats that they may guard (against evil) or that it may produce a reminder for them.
High above all is Allah, the King, the Truth! Be not in haste with the Qur'an before its revelation to thee is completed, but say, "O my Lord! advance me in knowledge."
Then exalted be Allah, the True King! And hasten not (O Muhammad) with the Qur'an ere its revelation hath been perfected unto thee, and say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.
Erhaben ist Allah, der König, der Wahre! Und übereile dich nicht mit dem Qur'an, bevor dir seine Offenbarung vollständig eingegeben worden ist. Und sag: Mein Herr, lasse mich an Wissen zunehmen.
Supremely exalted is therefore Allah, the King, the Truth, and do not make haste with the Quran before its revelation is made complete to you and say: O my Lord! increase me in knowledge.
We had already, beforehand, taken the covenant of Adam, but he forgot: and We found on his part no firm resolve.
And verily We made a covenant of old with Adam, but he forgot, and We found no constancy in him.
Und Wir hatten bereits zuvor Adam eine Verpflichtung auferlegt. Aber er vergaß (sie), und Wir fanden bei ihm keine Entschlossenheit.
And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination.
When We said to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves to Adam", they prostrated themselves, but not Iblis: he refused.
And when We said unto the angels: Fall prostrate before Adam, they fell prostrate (all) save Iblis; he refused.
Und als Wir zu den Engeln sagten: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder." Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis. Er weigerte sich.
And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam, they made obeisance, but Iblis (did it not); he refused.
Then We said: "O Adam! verily, this is an enemy to thee and thy wife: so let him not get you both out of the Garden, so that thou art landed in misery.
Therefor we said: O Adam! This is an enemy unto thee and unto thy wife, so let him not drive you both out of the Garden so that thou come to toil.
Da sagten Wir: "O Adam, dieser (da) ist dir und deiner Gattin gewiß ein Feind. Daß er euch beide ja nicht aus dem (Paradies)garten vertreibt! Sonst wirst du unglücklich sein.
So We said: O Adam! This is an enemy to you and to your wife; therefore let him not drive you both forth from the garden so that you should be unhappy;
"There is therein (enough provision) for thee not to go hungry nor to go naked,
It is (vouchsafed) unto thee that thou hungerest not therein nor art naked,
Gewiß, es ist dir gewährt, daß du darin weder hungerst noch nackt bist,
Surely it is (ordained) for you that you shall not be hungry therein nor bare of clothing;
"Nor to suffer from thirst, nor from the sun's heat."
And that thou thirstest not therein nor art exposed to the sun's heat.
und daß du darin weder dürstest noch Sonnenhitze erleidest."
And that you shall not be thirsty therein nor shall you feel the heat of the sun.
But Satan whispered evil to him: he said, "O Adam! shall I lead thee to the Tree of Eternity and to a kingdom that never decays?"
But the devil whispered to him, saying: O Adam! Shall I show thee the tree of immortality and power that wasteth not away ?
Aber da flüsterte ihm der Satan ein und sagte: "O Adam, soll ich dich auf den Baum der Ewigkeit hinweisen und auf eine Herrschaft, die nicht vergeht?"
But the Shaitan made an evil suggestion to him; he said: O Adam! Shall I guide you to the tree of immortality and a kingdom which decays not?
In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
Then they twain ate thereof, so that their shame became apparent unto them, and they began to hide by heaping on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden. And Adam disobeyed his Lord, so went astray.
So aßen sie beide davon, und da zeigte sich ihnen ihre Blöße offenkundig, und sie begannen, Blätter des (Paradies)gartens auf sich zusammenzuheften. So widersetzte Adam sich seinem Herrn, und da fiel er in Verirrung.
Then they both ate of it, so their evil inclinations became manifest to them, and they both began to cover themselves with leaves of the garden, and Adam disobeyed his Lord, so his life became evil (to him).
But his Lord chose him (for His Grace): He turned to him, and gave him Guidance.
Then his Lord chose him, and relented toward him, and guided him.
Hierauf erwählte ihn sein Herr, und so wandte Er Sich ihm Reue-Annehmend zu und leitete (ihn) recht.
Then his Lord chose him, so He turned to him and guided (him).
He said: "Get ye down, both of you, - all together, from the Garden, with enmity one to another: but if, as is sure, there comes to you Guidance from Me, whosoever follows My Guidance, will not lose his way, nor fall into misery.
He said: Go down hence, both of you, one of you a foe unto the other. But when there come unto you from Me a guidance, then whoso followeth My guidance, he will not go astray nor come to grief.
Er sagte: "Geht alle fort von ihm. Einige von euch seien des anderen Feind. Doch wenn dann von Mir Rechtleitung zu euch kommt, dann wird derjenige, der Meiner Rechtleitung folgt, nicht irregehen und nicht unglücklich sein.
He said: Get forth you two therefrom, all (of you), one of you (is) enemy to another. So there will surely come to you guidance from Me, then whoever follows My guidance, he shall not go astray nor be unhappy;
"But whosoever turns away from My Message, verily for him is a life narrowed down, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Judgment."
But he who turneth away from remembrance of Me, his will be a narrow life, and I shall bring him blind to the assembly on the Day of Resurrection.
Wer sich aber von Meiner Ermahnung abwendet, der wird ein beengtes Leben fuhren, und Wir werden ihn am Tag der Auferstehung blind (zu den anderen) versammeln.
And whoever turns away from My reminder, his shall be a straitened life, and We will raise him on the day of resurrection, blind.
He will say: "O my Lord! why hast Thou raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)?"
He will say: My Lord! Wherefor hast Thou gathered me (hither) blind, when I was wont to see ?
Er wird sagen: "Mein Herr, warum hast Du mich blind (zu den anderen) versammelt, wo ich doch sehen konnte?"
He shall say: My Lord! why hast Thou raised me blind and I was a seeing one indeed?
(Allah) will say: "Thus didst Thou, when Our Signs came unto thee, disregard them: so wilt thou, this day, be disregarded."
He will say: So (it must be). Our revelations came unto thee but thou didst forget them. In like manner thou art forgotten this Day.
Er sagt: "So sind auch zu dir Unsere Zeichen gekommen, und doch hast du sie vergessen. Ebenso wirst du heute vergessen."
He will say: Even so, Our communications came to you but you neglected them; even thus shall you be forsaken this day.
And thus do We recompense him who transgresses beyond bounds and believes not in the Signs of his Lord: and the Penalty of the Hereafter is far more grievous and more enduring.
Thus do We reward him who is prodigal and believeth not the revelations of his Lord; and verily the doom of the Hereafter will be sterner and more lasting.
So vergelten Wir demjenigen, der maßlos ist und nicht an die Zeichen seines Herrn glaubt. Die Strafe des Jenseits ist wahrlich strenger und nachhaltiger.
And thus do We recompense him who is extravagant and does not believe in the communications of his Lord, and certainly the chastisement of the hereafter is severer and more
Is it not a warning to such men (to call to mind) how many generations before them We destroyed, in whose haunts they (now) move? Verily, in this are Signs for men endued with understanding.
Is it not a guidance for them (to know) how many a generation We destroyed before them, amid whose dwellings they walk ? Lo! therein verily are signs for men of thought.
Ist ihnen denn nicht deutlich geworden, wie viele Geschlechter Wir vor ihnen vernichtet haben, in deren Wohnorten sie (nun) umhergehen? Darin sind wahrlich Zeichen für Leute von Verstand.
Does it not then direct them aright how many of the generations In whose dwelling - places they go about We destroyed before them? Most surely there are signs in this for those endowed with understanding.
Had it not been for a Word that went forth before from thy Lord, (their punishment) must necessarily have come; but there is a Term appointed (for respite).
And but for a decree that had already gone forth from thy Lord, and a term already fixed, the judgment would have been inevitable (in this world).
Wenn es nicht ein schon früher ergangenes Wort von deinem Herrn und eine festgesetzte Frist gäbe, wäre (die sofortige Strafe) fürwahr unabwendbar.
And had there not been a word (that had) already gone forth from your Lord and an appointed term, it would surely have been made to cleave (to them).
Therefore be patient with what they say, and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord, before the rising of the sun, and before its setting; yea, celebrate them for part of the hours of the night, and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy.
Therefor (O Muhammad), bear with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord ere the rising of the sun and ere the going down thereof. And glorify Him some hours of the night and at the two ends of the day, that thou mayst find acceptance.
So ertrage standhaft, was sie sagen, und lobpreise deinen Herrn vor dem Aufgang der Sonne und vor ihrem Untergang, und zu (verschiedenen) Stunden der Nacht preise (Ihn) und (ebenso) an den Enden des Tages, auf daß du zufrieden sein mögest.
Bear then patiently what they say, and glorify your Lord by the praising of Him before the rising of the sun and before its setting, and during hours of the night do also glorify (Him) and during parts of the day, that you may be well pleased
Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of them, the splendour of the life of this world, through which We test them: but the provision of thy Lord is better and more enduring.
And strain not thine eyes toward that which We cause some wedded pairs among them to enjoy, the flower of the life of the world, that We may try them thereby. The provision of thy Lord is better and more lasting.
Und richte nur nicht deine Augen auf das, was Wir manchen von ihnen paarweise als Nießbrauch gewähren - den Glanz des diesseitigen Lebens -, um sie darin der Versuchung auszusetzen. Die Versorgung deines Herrn ist besser und beständiger.
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more abiding.
Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness.
And enjoin upon thy people worship, and be constant therein. We ask not of thee a provision: We provided for thee. And the sequel is for righteousness.
Und befiehl deinen Angehörigen, das Gebet (zu verrichten), und sei beharrlich darin. Wir fordern keine Versorgung von dir; Wir versorgen dich. Und das (gute) Ende gehört der Gottesfurcht.
And enjoin prayer on your followers, and steadily adhere to it; We do not ask you for subsistence; We do give you subsistence, and the (good) end is for guarding (against evil).
They say: "Why does he not bring us a sign from his Lord?" Has not a Clear Sign come to them of all that was in the former Books of revelation?
And they say: If only he would bring us a miracle from his Lord! Hath there not come unto them the proof of what is in the former scriptures ?
Und sie sagen: "Wenn er uns doch ein Zeichen von seinem Herrn bringen würde!" Ist nicht zu ihnen der klare Beweis dessen gekommen, was auf den früheren Blättern steht?
And they say: Why does he not bring to us a sign from his Lord? Has not there come to them a clear evidence of what is in the previous books?
And if We had inflicted on them a penalty before this, they would have said: "Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent us a messenger, we should certainly have followed Thy Signs before we were humbled and put to shame."
And if we had destroyed them with some punishment before it, they would assuredly have said: Our Lord! If only Thou hadst sent unto us a messenger, so that we might have followed Thy revelations before we were (thus) humbled and disgraced!
Hätten Wir sie vor ihm durch eine Strafe vernichtet, hätten sie fürwahr gesagt: "Unser Herr, hättest Du doch einen Gesandten zu uns gesandt, so daß wir Deinen Zeichen hätten folgen können, bevor wir erniedrigt und in Schande gestürzt würden!"
And had We destroyed them with chastisement before this, they would certainly have said: O our Lord! why didst Thou not send to us an apostle, for then we should have followed Thy communications before that we met disgrace and shame.
Say: "Each one (of us) is waiting: wait ye, therefore, and soon shall ye know who it is that is on the straight and even way, and who it is that has received Guidance."
Say: Each is awaiting; so await ye! Ye will come to know who are the owners of the path of equity, and who is right.
Sag: Jeder wartet ab; so wartet auch (ihr) ab. Dann werdet ihr (noch) erfahren, wer die Leute des ebenen Weges sind und wer rechtgeleitet ist.
Say: Every one (of us) is awaiting, therefore do await: So you will come to know who is the follower of the even path and who goes aright.
