"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And most surely we are they who draw themselves out in ranks,
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And we are most surely they who declare the glory (of Allah).
And there were those who said,
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
And surely they used to say:
"If only we had had before us a Message from those of old,
"Wenn wir nur eine Ermahnung (gleich derjenigen) der Früheren hätten,
Had we a reminder from those of yore,
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
We would certainly have been the servants of Allah - - the purified ones.
But (now that the Qur'an has come), they reject it: But soon will they know!
Dennoch verleugnen sie Ihn. Aber sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
But (now) they disbelieve in it, so they will come to know.
Already has Our Word been passed before (this) to our Servants sent (by Us),
Es erging bereits früher Unser Wort an Unsere gesandten Diener:
And certainly Our word has already gone forth in respect of Our servants, the apostles:
That they would certainly be assisted,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
Most surely they shall be the assisted ones
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
And most surely Our host alone shall be the victorious ones.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
Therefore turn away from them till a time,
And watch them (how they fare), and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh sie dir an. Auch sie werden sehen.
And (then) see them, so they too shall see.
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
What! would they then hasten on Our chastisement?
But when it descends into the open space before them, evil will be the morning for those who were warned (and heeded not)!
Wenn sie sich aber in ihre Höfe niederläßt, wie böse wird dann der Morgen der Gewarnten sein!
But when it shall descend in their court, evil shall then be the morning of the warned ones.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And turn away from them till a time
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
And (then) see, for they too shall see.
Glory to thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him)!
Preis sei deinem Herrn, dem Herrn der Macht! (Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben.
Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.
And Peace on the messengers!
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And peace be on the apostles.
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
