ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَتِينَ
Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta.
ثُمَّ لَقَطَعْنَا مِنْهُ ٱلْوَتِينَ

und niemand von euch hätte (Uns) dann von ihm abhalten können.
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَاجِزِينَ
And not one of you could have withheld Us from him.
فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ عَنْهُ حَٰجِزِينَ
But verily this is a Message for the Allah - fearing.
Er ist wahrlich eine Erinnerung für die Gottesfürchtigen.
وَإِنَّهُ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
And most surely it is a reminder for those who guard (against evil).
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذْكِرَةٌ لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ
And We certainly know that there are amongst you those that reject (it).
Und Wir wissen wahrlich, daß es unter euch Leugner gibt.
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
And most surely We know that some of you are rejecters.
وَإِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِينَ
But truly (Revelation) is a cause of sorrow for the Unbelievers.
Und er ist wahrlich (ein Grund zum) Gram für die Ungläubigen.
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ
And most surely it is a great grief to the unbelievers.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسْرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ
But verily it is Truth of assured certainty.
Und er ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
وَإِنَّهُ لَحَقُّ الْيَقِينِ
And most surely it is the true certainty
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ

فَسَبِّحْ بِاسْمِ رَبِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ
Therefore - glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
