Chapter 71, 28 verses
We sent Noah to his People (with the Command): "Do thou warn thy People before there comes to them a grievous Penalty."
Wir sandten ja Nuh zu seinem Volk: "Warne dein Volk, bevor schmerzhafte Strafe über sie kommt."
Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement.
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَىٰ قَوْمِهِۦٓ أَنْ أَنذِرْ قَوْمَكَ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
He said: "O my People! I am to you a Warner, clear and open:
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, ich bin euch ja ein deutlicher Warner,
He said: O my people! Surely I am a plain warner to you:
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
"That ye should worship Allah, fear Him and obey me:
(euch zu mahnen:) Dient Allah und fürchtet Ihn, und gehorcht mir,
That you should serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him and obey me:
أَنِ ٱعْبُدُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱتَّقُوهُ وَأَطِيعُونِ
"So He may forgive you your sins and give you respite for a stated Term: for when the Term given by Allah is accomplished, it cannot be put forward: if ye only knew."
so wird Er euch (etwas) von euren Sünden vergeben und euch auf eine festgesetzte Frist zurückstellen. Gewiß, Allahs Frist, wenn sie kommt, kann nicht zurückgestellt werden, wenn ihr nur wüßtet!"
He will forgive you some of your faults and grant you a delay to an appointed term; surely the term of Allah when it comes is not postponed; did you but know!
يَغْفِرْ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرْكُمْ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى إِنَّ أَجَلَ ٱللَّهِ إِذَا جَآءَ لَا يُؤَخَّرُ لَوْ كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
He said: "O my Lord! I have called to my People night and day:
Er sagte: "Mein Herr, ich habe mein Volk bei Nacht und bei Tag aufgerufen.
He said: O my Lord! surely I have called my people by night and by day!
قَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُ قَوْمِى لَيْلًا وَنَهَارًا
"But my call only increases (their) flight (from the Right).
Aber mein Rufen hat sie nur in ihrer Flucht bestärkt.
But my call has only made them flee the more:
فَلَمْ يَزِدْهُمْ دُعَآءِىٓ إِلَّا فِرَارًا
"And every time I have called to them, that Thou mightest forgive them, they have (only) thrust their fingers into their ears, covered themselves up with their garments, grown obstinate, and given themselves up to arrogance.
Gewiß, jedesmal, wenn ich sie aufrief, damit Du ihnen vergibst, steckten sie ihre Finger in ihre Ohren, überdeckten sich mit ihren Gewändern, verharrten (im Irrtum) und verhielten sich sehr hochmütig.
And whenever I have called them that Thou mayest forgive them, they put their fingers in their ears, cover themselves with their garments, and persist and are puffed up with pride:
وَإِنِّى كُلَّمَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ لِتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ جَعَلُوٓا۟ أَصَٰبِعَهُمْ فِىٓ ءَاذَانِهِمْ وَٱسْتَغْشَوْا۟ ثِيَابَهُمْ وَأَصَرُّوا۟ وَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ ٱسْتِكْبَارًا
"So I have called to them aloud;
Hierauf richtete ich an sie den Ruf dann öffentlich.
Then surely I called to them aloud:
ثُمَّ إِنِّى دَعَوْتُهُمْ جِهَارًا
"Further I have spoken to them in public and secretly in private,
Hierauf sprach ich zu ihnen offen und ganz im geheimen.
Then surely I spoke to them in public and I spoke to them in secret:
ثُمَّ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَنتُ لَهُمْ وَأَسْرَرْتُ لَهُمْ إِسْرَارًا
"Saying, 'Ask forgiveness from your Lord; for He is Oft - Forgiving;
Ich sagte: .Bittet euren Herrn um Vergebung - Er ist ja Allvergebend -,
Then I said, Ask forgiveness of your Lord, surely He is the most Forgiving:
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًا
"'He will send rain to you in abundance;
so wird Er den Regen auf euch ergiebig (herab)senden
He will send down upon you the cloud, pouring down abundance of rain:
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا
"'Give you increase in wealth and sons; and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers (of flowing water).
und euch mit Besitz und Söhnen unterstützen und für euch Gärten machen und für euch Bäche machen.
And help you with wealth and sons, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّٰتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَٰرًا
"'What is the matter with you, that ye place not your hope for kindness and long - suffering in Allah, -
Was ist mit euch, daß ihr nicht glaubt, von Allah würdevoll behandelt zu werden,
What is the matter with you that you fear not the greatness of Allah?
مَّا لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُونَ لِلَّهِ وَقَارًا
"'Seeing that it is He that has created you in diverse stages?
wo Er euch doch in Entwicklungsabschnitten erschaffen hat?
And indeed He has created you through various grades:
وَقَدْ خَلَقَكُمْ أَطْوَارًا
"'See ye not how Allah has created the seven heavens one above another,
Seht ihr nicht, wie Allah sieben Himmel in Schichten (übereinander) erschaffen hat,
Do you not see how Allah has created the seven heavens, one above another,
أَلَمْ تَرَوْا۟ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ ٱللَّهُ سَبْعَ سَمَٰوَٰتٍ طِبَاقًا
"'And made the moon a light in their midst, and made the sun as a (Glorious) Lamp?
den Mond darin zu einem Licht gemacht und die Sonne zu einem Leuchtkörper gemacht hat?
And made the moon therein a light, and made the sun a lamp?
وَجَعَلَ ٱلْقَمَرَ فِيهِنَّ نُورًا وَجَعَلَ ٱلشَّمْسَ سِرَاجًا
"'And Allah has produced you from the earth growing (gradually),
Und Allah hat euch aus der Erde heranwachsen lassen.
And Allah has made you grow out of the earth as a growth:
وَٱللَّهُ أَنۢبَتَكُم مِّنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ نَبَاتًا
"'And in the End He will return you into the (earth), and raise you forth (again at the Resurrection)?
Hierauf wird Er euch in sie zurückbringen und gewiß (wieder aus ihr) hervorbringen.
Then He returns you to it, then will He bring you forth a (new) bringing forth:
ثُمَّ يُعِيدُكُمْ فِيهَا وَيُخْرِجُكُمْ إِخْرَاجًا
"'And Allah has made the earth for you as a carpet (spread out),
Und Allah hat euch die Erde zu einer ausgebreiteten Unterlage gemacht,
And Allah has made for you the earth a wide expanse,
وَٱللَّهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلْأَرْضَ بِسَاطًا
"'That ye may go about therein, in spacious roads.'"
damit ihr auf ihr dahinziehen könnt - auf Wegen als breiten Durchgängen'."
That you may go along therein in wide paths.
لِّتَسْلُكُوا۟ مِنْهَا سُبُلًا فِجَاجًا
Noah said: "O my Lord! They have disobeyed me, but they follow (men) whose wealth and children give them no increase but only Loss.
Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, sie haben sich mir widersetzt und sind jemandem gefolgt, dem sein Besitz und seine Kinder nur den Verlust mehren.
Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss.
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِى وَٱتَّبَعُوا۟ مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَوَلَدُهُۥٓ إِلَّا خَسَارًا
"And they have devised a tremendous Plot.
Und sie haben ungeheure Ränke geschmiedet.
And they have planned a very great plan.
وَمَكَرُوا۟ مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
"And they have said (to each other), 'Abandon not your gods: Abandon neither Wadd nor Suwa', neither Yaguth nor Ya'uq, nor Nasr'; -
Und sie haben gesagt: .Verlaßt doch nicht eure Götter; verlaßt doch nicht Wadd, noch Suwa", noch Yagut,Ya'uq und Nasr.'
And they say: By no means leave your gods, nor leave Wadd, nor Suwa; nor Yaghus, and Yauq and Nasr.
وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا
"They have already misled many; and grant Thou no increase to the wrong - doers but in straying (from their mark)."
Sie haben ja viele in die Irre geführt. So lasse die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer in die Irre gehen."
And indeed they have led astray many, and do not increase the unjust in aught but error.
وَقَدْ أَضَلُّوا۟ كَثِيرًا وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا ضَلَٰلًا
Because of their sins they were drowned (in the flood), and were made to enter the Fire (of Punishment): and they found - in lieu of Allah - none to help them.
Wegen ihrer Verfehlungen wurden sie ertränkt und dann in ein (Höllen)feuer hineingebracht. Und da fanden sie für sich außer Allah keine Helfer.
Because of their wrongs they were drowned, then made to enter fire, so they did not find any helpers besides Allah.
مِّمَّا خَطِيٓـَٰٔتِهِمْ أُغْرِقُوا۟ فَأُدْخِلُوا۟ نَارًا فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا۟ لَهُم مِّن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ أَنصَارًا
And Noah, said: "O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth!
Und Nuh sagte: "Mein Herr, lasse auf der Erde von den Ungläubigen nicht einen einzigen Bewohner.
And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers:
وَقَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ لَا تَذَرْ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ مِنَ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ دَيَّارًا
"For, if Thou dost leave (any of) them, they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.
Denn, gewiß, wenn Du sie (leben) läßt, führen sie Deine Diener in die Irre und zeugen nur Sittenlose und sehr beharrliche Ungläubige.
For surely if Thou leave them they will lead astray Thy servants, and will not beget any but immoral, ungrateful (children)
إِنَّكَ إِن تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا۟ عِبَادَكَ وَلَا يَلِدُوٓا۟ إِلَّا فَاجِرًا كَفَّارًا
"O my Lord! Forgive me, my parents, all who enter my house in Faith, and (all) believing men and believing women: and to the wrong - doers grant Thou no increase but in perdition!"
Mein Herr, vergib mir und meinen Eltern und demjenigen, der als Gläubiger mein Haus betritt, und den gläubigen Männern und den gläubigen Frauen. Und stürze die Ungerechten nur noch tiefer ins Verderben."
My Lord! forgive me and my parents and him who enters my house believing, and the believing men and the believing women; and do not increase the unjust in aught but destruction!
رَّبِّ ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِمَن دَخَلَ بَيْتِىَ مُؤْمِنًا وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَلَا تَزِدِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ إِلَّا تَبَارًۢا
