Chapter 37, 182 verses
By those who range themselves in ranks,
Waalssaffati saffan
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who set the ranks in battle order
Bei den sich reihenweise Reihenden,
And so are strong in repelling (evil),
Faalzzajirati zajran
And those who drive away (the wicked) with reproof
dann den einen Schelteschrei Ausstoßenden,
And thus proclaim the Message (of Allah)!
Faalttaliyati thikran
And those who read (the Word) for a reminder,
dann den eine Ermahnung Verlesenden!
Verily, verily, your Allah is one! -
Inna ilahakum lawahidun
Lo! thy Lord is surely One;
Euer Gott ist wahrlich ein Einziger,
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all between them, and Lord of every point at the rising of the sun!
Rabbu alssamawati waalardi wama baynahuma warabbu almashariqi
Lord of the heavens and of the earth and all that is between them, and Lord of the sun's risings.
der Herr der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, und der Herr der Osten.
We have indeed decked the lower heaven with beauty (in) the stars, -
Inna zayyanna alssamaa alddunya bizeenatin alkawakibi
Lo! We have adorned the lowest heaven with an ornament, the planets;
Wir haben den untersten Himmel mit einem Schmuck geziert: mit den Himmelskörpern';
(For beauty) and for guard against all obstinate rebellious evil spirits,
Wahifthan min kulli shaytanin maridin
With security from every froward devil.
und als Schutz vor jedem rebellischen Satan.
(So) they should not strain their ears in the direction of the Exalted Assembly but be cast away from every side,
La yassammaAAoona ila almalai alaAAla wayuqthafoona min kulli janibin
They cannot listen to the Highest Chiefs for they are pelted from every side,
So können sie der höchsten führenden Schar (der Engel) nicht zuhören, und sie werden von allen Seiten beworfen,
Repulsed, for they are under a perpetual penalty,
Duhooran walahum AAathabun wasibun
Outcast, and theirs is a perpetual torment;
damit sie weggetrieben werden - und für sie wird es immerwährende Strafe geben -,
Except such as snatch away something by stealth, and they are pursued by a flaming fire, of piercing brightness.
Illa man khatifa alkhatfata faatbaAAahu shihabun thaqibun
Save him who snatcheth a fragment, and there pursueth him a piercing flame.
außer jemandem, der rasch etwas aufschnappt und den dann ein durchbohrend heller Leuchtkörper verfolgt.
Just ask their opinion: are they the more difficult to create, or the (other) beings We have created? Them have We created out of a sticky clay!
Faistaftihim ahum ashaddu khalqan am man khalaqna inna khalaqnahum min teenin lazibin
Then ask them (O Muhammad): Are they stronger as a creation, or those (others) whom we have created ? Lo! We created them of plastic clay.
Frage sie doch um ihre Meinung: Ist es etwa schwerer, sie zu erschaffen als wen Wir (sonst) erschaffen
Truly dost thou marvel, while they ridicule,
Bal AAajibta wayaskharoona
Nay, but thou dost marvel when they mock
Aber nein! Du wunderst dich, während sie spotten.
And, when they are admonished, pay no heed, -
Waitha thukkiroo la yathkuroona
And heed not when they are reminded,
Und wenn sie ermahnt werden, gedenken sie nicht.
And, when they see a Sign, turn it to mockery,
Waitha raaw ayatan yastaskhiroona
And seek to scoff when they behold a portent.
Und wenn sie ein Zeichen sehen, spotten sie darüber.
And say, "This is nothing but evident sorcery!
Waqaloo in hatha illa sihrun mubeenun
And they say: Lo! this is mere magic;
Und sie sagen: "Das ist nur deutliche Zauberei.
"What! when we die, and become dust and bones, shall we (then) be raised up (again)
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamabAAoothoona
When we are dead and have become dust and bones, shall we then, forsooth, be raised (again) ?
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
"And also our fathers of old?"
Awaabaona alawwaloona
And our forefathers ?
Und auch unsere Vorväter?"
Say thou: "Yea, and ye shall then be humiliated (on account of your evil)."
Qul naAAam waantum dakhiroona
Say (O Muhammad): Ye, in truth; and ye will be brought low.
Sag: Ja, und ihr werdet euch demütig verhalten.
Then it will be a single (compelling) cry; and behold, they will begin to see!
Fainnama hiya zajratun wahidatun faitha hum yanthuroona
There is but one Shout, and lo! they behold,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein, da schauen sie sogleich hin.
They will say, "Ah! Woe to us! This is the Day of Judgment!"
Waqaloo ya waylana hatha yawmu alddeeni
And say: Ah, woe for us! This is the Day of Judgment.
Und sie werden sagen: "O wehe uns! Das ist der Tag des Gerichts!"
(A voice will say,) "This is the Day of Sorting Out, whose truth ye (once) denied!"
Hatha yawmu alfasli allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
This is the Day of Separation, which ye used to deny.
- "Das ist der Tag der Entscheidung, den ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet.
"Bring ye up", it shall be said, "The wrong - doers and their wives, and the things they worshipped -
Ohshuroo allatheena thalamoo waazwajahum wama kanoo yaAAbudoona
(And it is said unto the angels): Assemble those who did wrong, together with their wives and what they used to worship
- (Zu den Engeln des Gerichts wird gesagt:) Versammelt (nun) diejenigen, die Unrecht getan haben, ihre Gattinnen und das, dem sie dienten
"Besides Allah, and lead them to the Way to the (Fierce) Fire!
Min dooni Allahi faihdoohum ila sirati aljaheemi
Instead of Allah, and lead them to the path to hell;
anstatt Allahs. Dann leitet sie zum Weg des Höllenbrandes
"But stop them, for they must be asked:
Waqifoohum innahum masooloona
And stop them, for they must be questioned.
und stellt sie auf, denn sie werden befragt werden."
"'What is the matter with you that ye help not each other?'"
Ma lakum la tanasaroona
What aileth you that ye help not one another ?
- (Und es wird zu ihnen gesagt:) "Was ist mit euch, daß ihr einander nicht unterstützt?"
Nay, but that day they shall submit (to Judgment);
Bal humu alyawma mustaslimoona
Nay, but this day they make full submission.
Nein! Vielmehr ergeben sie sich heute.
And they will turn to one another, and question one another.
Waaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
Und sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
They will say: "It was ye who used to come to us from the right hand (of power and authority)!"
Qaloo innakum kuntum tatoonana AAani alyameeni
They say: Lo! ye used to come unto us, imposing, (swearing that ye spoke the truth).
Sie sagen: "Ihr kamt doch zu uns (stets) von rechts her'."
They will reply: "Nay, ye yourselves had no Faith!
Qaloo bal lam takoonoo mumineena
They answer: Nay, but ye (yourselves) were not believers.
Sie sagen: "Aber nein! Ihr wart ja nicht gläubig.
"Nor had we any authority over you. Nay, it was ye who were a people in obstinate rebellion!
Wama kana lana AAalaykum min sultanin bal kuntum qawman tagheena
We had no power over you, but ye were wayward folk.
Wir aber hatten keine Macht über euch, sondern vielmehr wart ihr Leute, die das Maß (an Frevel) überschreiten.
"So now has been proved true, against us, the word of our Lord that we shall indeed (have to) taste (the punishment of our sins).
Fahaqqa AAalayna qawlu rabbina inna lathaiqoona
Now the Word of our Lord hath been fulfilled concerning us. Lo! we are about to taste (the doom).
So ist das Wort unseres Herrn gegen uns unvermeidlich fällig geworden. Wir werden bestimmt (die Strafe) kosten.
"We led you astray: for truly we were ourselves astray."
Faaghwaynakum inna kunna ghaweena
Thus we misled you. Lo! we were (ourselves) astray.
Und so haben wir euch in Verirrung fallen lassen, denn wir waren ja selbst in Verirrung gefallen."
Truly, that Day, they will (all) share in the Penalty.
Fainnahum yawmaithin fee alAAathabi mushtarikoona
Then lo! this day they (both) are sharers in the doom.
Gewiß denn, an jenem Tag werden sie an der(selben) Strafe teilhaben.
Verily that is how We shall deal with Sinners.
Inna kathalika nafAAalu bialmujrimeena
Lo! thus deal We with the guilty.
Gewiß, so verfahren Wir mit den Übeltätern,
For they, when they were told that there is no god except Allah, would puff themselves up with Pride,
Innahum kanoo itha qeela lahum la ilaha illa Allahu yastakbiroona
For when it was said unto them, There is no God save Allah, they were scornful
denn sie pflegten, wenn zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Es gibt keinen Gott außer Allah", sich hochmütig zu verhalten,
And say: "What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?"
Wayaqooloona ainna latarikoo alihatina lishaAAirin majnoonin
And said: Shall we forsake our gods for a mad poet ?
und sagten: "Sollen wir denn wahrlich unsere Götter verlassen wegen eines besessenen Dichters?"
Nay! he has come with the (very) Truth, and he confirms (the Message of) the messengers (before him).
Bal jaa bialhaqqi wasaddaqa almursaleena
Nay, but he brought the Truth, and he confirmed those sent (before him).
Nein! Vielmehr ist er mit der Wahrheit gekommen und hat die Gesandten bestätigt.
Ye shall indeed taste of the Grievous Penalty; -
Innakum lathaiqoo alAAathabi alaleemi
Lo! (now) verily ye taste the painful doom -
Ihr werdet bestimmt die schmerzhafte Strafe kosten,
But it will be no more than the retribution of (the Evil) that ye have wrought; -
Wama tujzawna illa ma kuntum taAAmaloona
Ye are requited naught save what ye did -
und euch wird nur das vergolten, was ihr zu tun pflegtet,
But the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah, -
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Save single - minded slaves of Allah;
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
For them is a Sustenance determined,
Olaika lahum rizqun maAAloomun
For them there is a known provision,
Für diese wird es eine festgesetzte Versorgung geben:
Fruits (Delights); and they (shall enjoy) honour and dignity,
Fawakihu wahum mukramoona
Fruits. And they will be honoured
Früchte, und sie werden geehrt
In Gardens of Felicity,
Fee jannati alnnaAAeemi
In the Gardens of delight,
in den Gärten der Wonne
Facing each other on Thrones (of Dignity):
AAala sururin mutaqabileena
On couches facing one another;
auf Liegen (ruhend), einander gegenüber,
Round will be passed to them a Cup from a clear - flowing fountain,
Yutafu AAalayhim bikasin min maAAeenin
A cup from a gushing spring is brought round for them,
wobei ihnen ein Becher (voll) Quellwasser herumgereicht wird,
Crystal - white, of a taste delicious to those who drink (thereof),
Baydaa laththatin lilshsharibeena
White, delicious to the drinkers,
weiß, köstlich für diejenigen, die (daraus) trinken.
Free from headiness; nor will they suffer intoxication therefrom.
La feeha ghawlun wala hum AAanha yunzafoona
Wherein there is no headache nor are they made mad thereby.
Darin steckt nichts Beeinträchtigendes, und dadurch werden sie nicht benommen.
And besides them will be chaste women, restraining their glances, with big eyes (of wonder and beauty).
WaAAindahum qasiratu alttarfi AAeenun
And with them are those of modest gaze, with lovely eyes,
Und bei ihnen sind solche (weiblichen Wesen), die ihre Blicke zurückhalten, mit schönen, großen Augen,
As if they were (delicate) eggs closely guarded.
Kaannahunna baydun maknoonun
(Pure) as they were hidden eggs (of the ostrich).
als ob sie wohlverwahrte Eier wären.
Then they will turn to one another and question one another.
Faaqbala baAAduhum AAala baAAdin yatasaaloona
And some of them draw near unto others, mutually questioning.
Sie wenden sich einander zu und fragen sich gegenseitig.
One of them will start the talk and say: "I had an intimate companion (on the earth),
Qala qailun minhum innee kana lee qareenun
A speaker of them saith: Lo! I had a comrade
Einer von ihnen sagt: "Gewiß, ich hatte einen Gesellen,
"Who used to say, 'what! art thou amongst those who bear witness to the Truth (of the Message)?
Yaqoolu ainnaka lamina almusaddiqeena
Who used to say: Art thou in truth of those who put faith (in his words) ?
der da sagte: .Gehörst du wirklich zu denjenigen, die es für wahr halten?
"'When we die and become dust and bones, shall we indeed receive rewards and punishments?'"
Aitha mitna wakunna turaban waAAithaman ainna lamadeenoona
Can we, when we are dead and have become mere dust and bones - can we (then) verily be brought to book ?
Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich vor Gericht gestellt werden'?"
(A voice) said: "Would ye like to look down?"
Qala hal antum muttaliAAoona
He saith: Will ye look ?
Er sagt: "Wollt ihr denn hinschauen?"
He looked down and saw him in the midst of the Fire.
FaittalaAAa faraahu fee sawai aljaheemi
Then looketh he and seeth him in the depth of hell.
Er schaut selbst hin und sieht ihn mitten im Höllenbrand.
He said: "By Allah! thou wast little short of bringing me to perdition!
Qala taAllahi in kidta laturdeeni
He saith: By Allah, thou verily didst all but cause my ruin,
Er sagt: "Bei Allah, beinahe hättest du mich fürwahr ins Verderben gestürzt.
"Had it not been for the Grace of my Lord, I should certainly have been among those brought (there)!
Walawla niAAmatu rabbee lakuntu mina almuhdareena
And had it not been for the favour of my Lord, I too had been of those haled forth (to doom).
Und ohne die Gnade meines Herrn würde ich nun wahrlich zu den Vorgeführten gehören.
"Is it (the case) that we shall not die,
Afama nahnu bimayyiteena
Are we then not to die
Werden wir tatsächlich nicht mehr sterben,
"Except our first death, and that we shall not be punished?"
Illa mawtatana aloola wama nahnu bimuAAaththabeena
Saving our former death, and are we not to be punished ?
außer unserem ersten Tod, und gehören wir tatsächlich nicht zu den Bestraften?"
Verily this is the supreme achievement!
Inna hatha lahuwa alfawzu alAAatheemu
Lo! this is the supreme triumph.
Das ist doch wahrlich der großartige Erfolg!
For the like of this let all strive, who wish to strive.
Limithli hatha falyaAAmali alAAamiloona
For the like of this, then, let the workers work.
Für ein Solches sollen diejenigen, die handeln, (ihre Werke) tun.
Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
Athalika khayrun nuzulan am shajaratu alzzaqqoomi
Is this better as a welcome, or the tree of Zaqqum ?
Ist dies als gastliche Aufnahme besser oder der Zaqqum-Baum?
For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong - doers.
Inna jaAAalnaha fitnatan lilththalimeena
Lo! We have appointed it a torment for wrong - doers.
Den haben Wir zu einer Versuchung für die Ungerechten gemacht.
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell - Fire:
Innaha shajaratun takhruju fee asli aljaheemi
Lo! it is a tree that springeth in the heart of hell.
Er ist ein Baum, der im Grund des Höllenbrandes hervorkommt,
The shoots of its fruit - stalks are like the heads of devils:
TalAAuha kaannahu ruoosu alshshayateeni
Its crop is as it were the heads of devils
dessen Fruchtscheide so ist, als wären es Köpfe von Satanen.
Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
Fainnahum laakiloona minha famalioona minha albutoona
And lo! they verily must eat thereof, and fill (their) bellies therewith.
Sie werden wahrlich davon essen und werden (sich) so davon die Bäuche füllen.
Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.
Thumma inna lahum AAalayha lashawban min hameemin
And afterward, lo! thereupon they have a drink of boiling water
Hierauf erhalten sie fürwahr eine Mischung von heißem Wasser.
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire.
Thumma inna marjiAAahum laila aljaheemi
And afterward, lo! their return is surely unto hell.
Hierauf kehren sie fürwahr zum Höllenbrand zurück.
Truly they found their fathers on the wrong Path;
Innahum alfaw abaahum dalleena
They indeed found their fathers astray,
Sie haben ja ihre Väter im Irrtum vorgefunden,
So they (too) were rushed down on their footsteps!
Fahum AAala atharihim yuhraAAoona
But they make haste (to follow) in their footsteps.
und so sind sie auf ihren Spuren eilig getrieben worden.
And truly before them, many of the ancients went astray; -
Walaqad dalla qablahum aktharu alawwaleena
And verily most of the men of old went astray before them,
Vor ihnen sind bereits die meisten der Früheren abgeirrt,
But We sent aforetime, among them, (messengers) to admonish them; -
Walaqad arsalna feehim munthireena
And verily We sent among them warners.
und Wir sandten ja zu ihnen Überbringer von Warnungen.
Then see what was the end of those who were admonished (but heeded not), -
Faonthur kayfa kana AAaqibatu almunthareena
Then see the nature of the consequence for those warned,
So schau, wie das Ende der Gewarnten war,
Except the sincere (and devoted) Servants of Allah.
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
außer Allahs auserlesener Diener.
(In the days of old), Noah cried to Us, and We are the best to hear prayer.
Walaqad nadana noohun falaniAAma almujeeboona
And Noah verily prayed unto Us, and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer
Und Nuh rief Uns ja bereits zu - welch trefflicher Erhörer sind Wir fürwahr!
And We delivered him and his people from the Great Calamity,
Wanajjaynahu waahlahu mina alkarbi alAAatheemi
And We saved him and his household from the great distress,
Und Wir erretteten ihn und seine Angehörigen aus der großen Trübsal
And made his progeny to endure (on this earth);
WajaAAalna thurriyyatahu humu albaqeena
And made his seed the survivors,
und machten seine Nachkommenschaft zu denjenigen, die Fortbestand haben.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations to come in later times:
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
And left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to Noah among the nations!"
Salamun AAala noohin fee alAAalameena
Peace be unto Noah among the peoples!
Friede sei auf Nuh unter den Weltenbewohnern!
Thus indeed do we reward those who do right.
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
Then the rest we overwhelmed in the Flood.
Thumma aghraqna alakhareena
Then We did drown the others.
Hierauf ließen Wir die anderen ertrinken.
Verily among those who followed his Way was Abraham.
Wainna min sheeAAatihi laibraheema
And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham
Zu seiner Gemeinde gehörte fürwahr Ibrahim.
Behold! he approached his Lord with a sound heart.
Ith jaa rabbahu biqalbin saleemin
When he came unto his Lord with a whole heart;
Als er zu seinem Herrn mit heilem Herzen kam.
Behold! he said to his father and to his people, "What is that which ye worship?
Ith qala liabeehi waqawmihi matha taAAbudoona
When he said unto his father and his folk: What is it that ye worship ?
Als er zu seinem Vater und seinem Volk sagte: "Wem dient ihr da?
"Is it a falsehood - gods other than Allah - that ye desire?
Aifkan alihatan doona Allahi tureedoona
Is it a falsehood - gods beside Allah - that ye desire ?
Wollt ihr außer Allah falsche Götter haben?
"Then what is your idea about the Lord of the worlds?"
Fama thannukum birabbi alAAalameena
What then is your opinion of the Lord of the Worlds ?
Welche Meinung habt ihr denn vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner?"
Then did he cast a glance at the Stars.
Fanathara nathratan fee alnnujoomi
And he glanced a glance at the stars
Dann warf er einen Blick zu den Sternen
And he said, "I am indeed sick (at heart)!"
Faqala innee saqeemun
Then said: Lo! I feel sick!
und sagte: "Gewiß, ich bin krank."
So they turned away from him, and departed.
Fatawallaw AAanhu mudbireena
And they turned their backs and went away from him.
Da kehrten sie ihm den Rücken.
Then did he turn to their gods and said, "will ye not eat (of the offerings before you)?...
Faragha ila alihatihim faqala ala takuloona
Then turned he to their gods and said: Will ye not eat ?
Nun schlich er sich zu ihren Göttern und sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht essen?
"What is the matter with you that ye speak not (intelligently)?"
Ma lakum la tantiqoona
What aileth you that ye speak not ?
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht redet?"
Then did he turn upon them, striking (them) with the right hand.
Faragha AAalayhim darban bialyameeni
Then he attacked them, striking with his right hand.
Und er wandte sich gegen sie und schlug auf sie mit der Rechten ein.
Then came (the worshippers) with hurried steps, and faced (him).
Faaqbaloo ilayhi yaziffoona
And (his people) came toward him, hastening.
Da kamen sie auf ihn zugeeilt.
He said: "Worship ye that which ye have (yourselves) carved?
Qala ataAAbudoona ma tanhitoona
He said: Worship ye that which ye yourselves do carve
Er sagte: "Wie könnt ihr denn dem dienen, was ihr selbst aushaut,
"But Allah has created you and your handwork!"
WaAllahu khalaqakum wama taAAmaloona
When Allah hath created you and what ye make ?
wo doch Allah euch und das, was ihr tut, erschaffen hat?"
They said, "Build him a furnace, and throw him into the blazing fire!"
Qaloo ibnoo lahu bunyanan faalqoohu fee aljaheemi
They said: Build for him a building and fling him in the red - hotfire.
Sie sagten: "Errichtet für ihn einen Bau und werft ihn in den Feuersbrand."
(This failing), they then sought a stratagem against him, but We made them the ones most humiliated!
Faaradoo bihi kaydan fajaAAalnahumu alasfaleena
And they designed a snare for him, but We made them the undermost.
Sie wollten mit einer List gegen ihn vorgehen, doch da machten Wir sie zu den Unterlegenen.
He said: "I will go to my Lord! He will surely guide me!
Waqala innee thahibun ila rabbee sayahdeeni
And he said: Lo! I am going unto my Lord Who will guide me.
Er sagte: "Gewiß, ich gehe zu meinem Herrn; Er wird mich rechtleiten.
"O my Lord! Grant me a righteous (son)!"
Rabbi hab lee mina alssaliheena
My Lord! Vouchsafe me of the righteous.
Mein Herr, schenke mir einen von den Rechtschaffenen."
So We gave him the good news of a boy ready to suffer and forbear.
Fabashsharnahu bighulamin haleemin
So We gave him tidings of a gentle son.
Da verkündeten Wir ihm einen nachsichtigen Jungen.
Then, when (the son) reached (the age of) (serious) work with him, he said: "O my son! I see in vision that I offer thee in sacrifice: Now see what is thy view!" (The son) said: "O my father! Do as thou art commanded: thou will find me, if Allah so wills one practising Patience and Constancy!"
Falamma balagha maAAahu alssaAAya qala ya bunayya innee ara fee almanami annee athbahuka faonthur matha tara qala ya abati ifAAal ma tumaru satajidunee in shaa Allahu mina alssabireena
And when (his son) was old enough to walk with him, (Abraham) said: O my dear son, I have seen in a dream that I must sacrifice thee. So look, what thinkest thou ? He said: O my father! Do that which thou art commanded. Allah willing, thou shalt find me of the steadfast.
Als dieser das Alter erreichte, daß er mit ihm laufen konnte, sagte er: "O mein lieber Sohn, ich sehe im Schlaf, daß ich dich schlachte. Schau jetzt, was du (dazu) meinst." Er sagte: "O mein lieber Vater, tu, was dir befohlen wird. Du wirst mich, wenn Allah will, als einen der Standhaften finden."
So when they had both submitted their wills (to Allah), and he had laid him prostrate on his forehead (for sacrifice),
Falamma aslama watallahu liljabeeni
Then, when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face,
Als sie sich beide ergeben gezeigt hatten und er ihn auf die Seite der Stirn niedergeworfen hatte,
We called out to him "O Abraham!
Wanadaynahu an ya ibraheemu
We called unto him: O Abraham!
riefen Wir ihm zu: "O Ibrahim,
"Thou hast already fulfilled the vision!" - thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Qad saddaqta alrruya inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Thou hast already fulfilled the vision. Lo! thus do We reward the good.
du hast das Traumgesicht bereits wahr gemacht." Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For this was obviously a trial -
Inna hatha lahuwa albalao almubeenu
Lo! that verily was a clear test.
Das ist wahrlich die deutliche Prüfung.
And We ransomed him with a momentous sacrifice:
Wafadaynahu bithibhin AAatheemin
Then We ransomed him with a tremendous victim.
Und Wir lösten ihn mit einem großartigen Schlachtopfer aus.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
And We left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to Abraham!"
Salamun AAala ibraheema
Peace be unto Abraham!
Friede sei auf Ibrahim!
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Thus do We reward the good.
So vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
Lo! he is one of Our believing slaves.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
And We gave him the good news of Isaac - a prophet, - one of the Righteous.
Wabashsharnahu biishaqa nabiyyan mina alssaliheena
And we gave him tidings of the birth of Isaac, a prophet of the righteous.
Und Wir verkündeten ihm Ishaq als einen Propheten von den Rechtschaffenen.
We blessed him and Isaac: but of their progeny are (some) that do right, and (some) that obviously do wrong, to their own souls.
Wabarakna AAalayhi waAAala ishaqa wamin thurriyyatihima muhsinun wathalimun linafsihi mubeenun
And We blessed him and Isaac. And of their seed are some who do good, and some who plainly wrong themselves.
Und Wir segneten ihn und Ishaq. Unter ihrer Nachkommenschaft gibt es manche, die Gutes tun, und manche, die sich selbst offenkundig Unrecht zufügen.
Again (of old) We bestowed Our favour on Moses and Aaron,
Walaqad mananna AAala moosa waharoona
And We verily gave grace unto Moses and Aaron,
Und Wir erwiesen bereits Musa und Harun eine Wohltat
And We delivered them and their people from (their) Great Calamity;
Wanajjaynahuma waqawmahuma mina alkarbi alAAatheemi
And saved them and their people from the great distress,
und erretteten sie beide und ihr Volk aus der großen Trübsal.
And We helped them, so they overcame (their troubles);
Wanasarnahum fakanoo humu alghalibeena
And helped them so that they became the victors.
Und Wir halfen ihnen, da waren sie es, die Sieger wurden.
And We gave them the Book which helps to make things clear;
Waataynahuma alkitaba almustabeena
And We gave them the clear Scripture
Und Wir gaben ihnen beiden die verdeutlichende Schrift
And We guided them to the Straight Way.
Wahadaynahuma alssirata almustaqeema
And showed them the right path.
und leiteten sie den geraden Weg.
And We left (this blessing) for them among generations (to come) in later times:
Watarakna AAalayhima fee alakhireena
And We left for them among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für beide (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to Moses and Aaron!"
Salamun AAala moosa waharoona
Peace be unto Moses and Aaron!
Friede sei auf Musa und Harun!
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For they were two of our believing Servants.
Innahuma min AAibadina almumineena
Lo! they are two of Our believing slaves.
Sie beide gehören ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
So also was Elias among those sent (by Us).
Wainna ilyasa lamina almursaleena
And lo! Elias was of those sent (to warn),
Auch Ilyas gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
Behold, he said to his people, "Will ye not fear (Allah)?
Ith qala liqawmihi ala tattaqoona
When he said unto his folk: Will ye not ward off (evil) ?
Als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr nicht gottesfürchtig sein?
"Will ye call upon Baal and forsake the Best of Creators, -
AtadAAoona baAAlan watatharoona ahsana alkhaliqeena
Will ye cry unto Baal and forsake the Best of creators,
Wie könnt ihr Bacl anrufen und den besten Schöpfer verlassen,
"Allah, your Lord and Cherisher and the Lord and Cherisher of your fathers of old?"
Allaha rabbakum warabba abaikumu alawwaleena
Allah, your Lord and Lord of your forefathers ?
Allah, euren Herrn und den Herrn eurer Vorväter?"
But they rejected him, and they will certainly be called up (for punishment), -
Fakaththaboohu fainnahum lamuhdaroona
But they denied him, so they surely will be haled forth (to the doom)
Da bezichtigten sie ihn der Lüge. So werden sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden,
Except the sincere and devoted Servants of Allah (among them).
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
And We left (this blessing) for him among generations (to come) in later times:
Watarakna AAalayhi fee alakhireena
And we left for him among the later folk (the salutation):
Und Wir ließen für ihn (den Ruf) unter den späteren (Geschlechtern lauten):
"Peace and salutation to such as Elias!"
Salamun AAala il yaseena
Peace be unto Elias!
Friede sei auf Ilyas!
Thus indeed do We reward those who do right.
Inna kathalika najzee almuhsineena
Lo! thus do We reward the good.
Gewiß, so vergelten Wir den Gutes Tuenden.
For he was one of our believing Servants.
Innahu min AAibadina almumineena
Lo! he is one of our believing slaves.
Er gehört ja zu Unseren gläubigen Dienern.
So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).
Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena
And lo! Lot verily was of those sent (to warn).
Auch Lut gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all
Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena
When We saved him and his household, every one,
Als Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen allesamt erretteten,
Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:
Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena
Save an old woman among those who stayed behind;
außer einer alten Frau unter denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
Then We destroyed the rest.
Thumma dammarna alakhareena
Then We destroyed the others.
Hierauf vertilgten Wir die anderen.
Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day -
Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena
And lo! ye verily pass by (the ruin of) them in the morning
Ihr kommt ja an ihnen vorbei, bei Tagesanbruch
And by night: will ye not understand?
Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona
And at night - time; have ye then no sense ?
und bei Nacht. Begreift ihr denn nicht?'
So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).
Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena
And lo! Jonah verily was of those sent (to warn)
Auch Yunus gehörte wahrlich zu den Gesandten.
When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,
Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni
When he fled unto the laden ship,
Als er zum vollbeladenen Schiff davonlief.
He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:
Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena
And then drew lots and was of those rejected;
Er warf Lose und wurde einer der Unterlegenen.
Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.
Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun
And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;
Da verschlang ihn der (große) Fisch", während er sich Tadel zugezogen hatte.
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena
And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)
Und hätte er nicht zu denjenigen gehört, die (Allah) preisen,
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona
He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;
hätte er wahrlich in seinem Bauch verweilt bis zu dem Tag, an dem sie auferweckt werden.
But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,
Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun
Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;
Da warfen Wir ihn auf das kahle Land -, und dabei war er krank.
And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.
Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin
And We caused a tree of gourd to grow above him;
Und Wir ließen eine Kürbisstaude über ihm wachsen.
And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona
And We sent him to a hundred thousand (folk) or more
Und Wir sandten ihn zu Hunderttausend oder sogar noch mehr.
And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while.
Faamanoo famattaAAnahum ila heenin
And they believed, therefor We gave them comfort for a while.
Da glaubten sie, und so gewährten Wir ihnen Nießbrauch auf Zeit.
Now ask them their opinion: Is it that thy Lord has (only) daughters, and they have sons? -
Faistaftihim alirabbika albanatu walahumu albanoona
Now ask them (O Muhammad): Hath thy Lord daughters whereas they have sons ?
Frage sie doch nach ihrer Meinung: Gehören deinem Herrn etwa die Töchter und ihnen die Söhne?
Or that We created the angels female, and they are witnesses (thereto)?
Am khalaqna almalaikata inathan wahum shahidoona
Or created We the angels females while they were present ?
Oder haben Wir die Engel als weibliche Wesen erschaffen, während sie anwesend waren?
Is it not that they say, from their own invention,
Ala innahum min ifkihim layaqooloona
Lo! it is of their falsehood that they say:
Dabei ist es fürwahr aus ihrer ungeheuren Lügenhaftigkeit, daß sie sagen:
"Allah has begotten children"? but they are liars!
Walada Allahu wainnahum lakathiboona
Allah hath begotten. Allah! verily they tell a lie.
"Allah hat gezeugt." Wahrlich, sie sind Lügner.
Did He (then) choose daughters rather than sons?
Astafa albanati AAala albaneena
(And again of their falsehood): He hath preferred daughters to sons.
Hat Er die Töchter vor den Söhnen auserwählt?
What is the matter with you? How judge ye?
Ma lakum kayfa tahkumoona
What aileth you ? How judge ye ?
Was ist mit euch? Wie urteilt ihr?
Will ye not then receive admonition?
Afala tathakkaroona
Will ye not then reflect ?
Bedenkt ihr denn nicht?
Or have ye an authority manifest?
Am lakum sultanun mubeenun
Or have ye a clear warrant ?
Oder habt ihr eine deutliche Ermächtigung?
Then bring ye your Book (of authority) if ye be truthful!
Fatoo bikitabikum in kuntum sadiqeena
Then produce your writ, if ye are truthful.
Bringt doch eure Schrift bei, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid.
And they have invented a blood - relationship between Him and the Jinns: but the Jinns know (quite well) that they have indeed to appear (before his Judgment - Seat)!
WajaAAaloo baynahu wabayna aljinnati nasaban walaqad AAalimati aljinnatu innahum lamuhdaroona
And they imagine kinship between him and the jinn, whereas the jinn know well that they will be brought before (Him).
Und sie stellen zwischen Ihm und den Ginn eine Verwandtschaft her. Aber die Ginn wissen ja, daß sie bestimmt vorgeführt werden
Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the things they ascribe (to Him)!
Subhana Allahi AAamma yasifoona
Glorified be Allah from that which they attribute (unto Him),
Preis sei Allah! (Und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben -,
Not (so do) the Servants of Allah, sincere and devoted.
Illa AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
Save single - minded slaves of Allah.
außer Allahs auserlesenen Dienern.
For, verily, neither ye nor those ye worship -
Fainnakum wama taAAbudoona
Lo! verily, ye and that which ye worship,
Ihr aber und das, dem ihr dient,
Can lead (any) into temptation concerning Allah,
Ma antum AAalayhi bifatineena
Ye cannot excite (anyone) against Him.
könnt niemanden gegen Ihn verfuhren,
Except such as are (themselves) going to the blazing Fire!
Illa man huwa sali aljaheemi
Save him who is to burn in hell.
außer denjenigen, der dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt wird.
(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
Wama minna illa lahu maqamun maAAloomun
There is not one of us but hath his known position.
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
Wainna lanahnu alssaffoona
Lo! we, even we are they who set the ranks,
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
Wainna lanahnu almusabbihoona
Lo! we, even we are they who hymn His praise
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And there were those who said,
Wain kanoo layaqooloona
And indeed they used to say:
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
Law anna AAindana thikran mina alawwaleena
If we had but a reminder from the men of old
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
Lakunna AAibada Allahi almukhlaseena
We would be single - minded slaves of Allah.
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
Fakafaroo bihi fasawfa yaAAlamoona
Yet (now that it is come) they disbelieve therein; but they will come to know.
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
Walaqad sabaqat kalimatuna liAAibadina almursaleena
And verily Our word went forth of old unto Our bondmen sent (to warn)
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
That they would certainly be assisted,
Innahum lahumu almansooroona
That they verily would be helped,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Wainna jundana lahumu alghaliboona
And that Our host, they verily would be the victors.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Fatawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
So withdraw from them (O Muhammad) awhile,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
Waabsirhum fasawfa yubsiroona
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
AfabiAAathabina yastaAAjiloona
Would they hasten on Our doom ?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Faitha nazala bisahatihim fasaa sabahu almunthareena
But when it cometh home to them, then it will be a hapless morn for those who have been warned.
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Watawalla AAanhum hatta heenin
Withdraw from them awhile
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
Waabsir fasawfa yubsiroona
And watch, for they will (soon) see.
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Subhana rabbika rabbi alAAizzati AAamma yasifoona
Glorified be thy Lord, the Lord of Majesty, from that which they attribute (unto Him)
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
And Peace on the messengers!
Wasalamun AAala almursaleena
And peace be unto those sent (to warn).
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
Waalhamdu lillahi rabbi alAAalameena
And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds!
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
