(Those ranged in ranks say): "Not one of us but has a place appointed;
Und es gibt niemanden unter uns, der nicht einen bestimmten Platz hätte.
[The angels say], "There is not among us any except that he has a known position.
"And we are verily ranged in ranks (for service);
Wahrlich, wir sind es, die sich (reihenweise) reihen,
And indeed, we are those who line up [for prayer].
"And we are verily those who declare (Allah's) glory!"
und wahrlich, wir sind es, die preisen.
And indeed, we are those who exalt Allah."
And there were those who said,
Und sie pflegten zu sagen:
And indeed, the disbelievers 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,
"If we had a message from [those of] the former peoples,
"We should certainly have been Servants of Allah, sincere (and devoted)!"
dann wären wir fürwahr Allahs auserlesene Diener."
We would have been the chosen servants of Allah."
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 they disbelieved in it, so they are going 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 Our word has already preceded for Our servants, the messengers,
That they would certainly be assisted,
Wahrlich, sie sind es, denen Hilfe zuteil wird.
[That] indeed, they would be those given victory
And that Our forces, - they surely must conquer.
Und wahrlich, Unsere Heerschar ist es, die Sieger sein wird.
And [that] indeed, Our soldiers will be those who overcome.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
So kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
So, [O Muhammad], leave them for 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 see [what will befall] them, for they are going to see.
Do they wish (indeed) to hurry on our Punishment?
Wünschen sie denn Unsere Strafe zu beschleunigen?
Then for Our punishment are they impatient?
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 descends in their territory, then evil is the morning of those who were warned.
So turn thou away from them for a little while,
Und kehre dich für eine gewisse Zeit von ihnen ab
And leave them for a time.
And watch (how they fare) and they soon shall see (how thou farest)!
und sieh zu. Auch sie werden sehen.
And see, for they are going to 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.
Exalted is your Lord, the Lord of might, above what they describe.
And Peace on the messengers!
Und Friede sei auf den Gesandten!
And peace upon the messengers.
And Praise to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
Und (alles) Lob gehört Allah, dem Herrn der Weltenbewohner!
And praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
