And has it not been a sign to them that it is recognized by the scholars of the Children of Israel?
Is it not a token for them that the doctors of the Children of Israel know it ?
War es denn kein Zeichen für sie, daß die Gelehrten der Kinder Isra'ils darüber Bescheid wissen?
Had We revealed it to any of the non - Arabs,
And even if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners
And if We had revealed it unto one of any other nation than the Arabs,
Wenn Wir ihn einem der Nichtaraber offenbart hätten
And had he recited it to them, they would not have believed in it.
And he had recited it to them [perfectly], they would [still] not have been believers in it.

Indeed they have been removed far from even (a chance of) hearing it.
Indeed they, from [its] hearing, are removed.
Lo! verily they are banished from the hearing.
Sie sind vom Hören fürwahr ausgeschlossen.
So call not on any other god with Allah, or thou wilt be among those under the Penalty.

Und warne die Nächsten deiner Sippe.
And lower thy wing to the Believers who follow thee.
And lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers.
And lower thy wing (in kindness) unto those believers who follow thee.
Und senke deinen Flügel für diejenigen von den Gläubigen, die dir folgen.
Then if they disobey thee, say: "I am free (of responsibility) for what ye do!"
And if they disobey you, then say, "Indeed, I am disassociated from what you are doing."
And if they (thy kinsfolk) disobey thee, say: Lo! I am innocent of what they do.
Wenn sie sich dir widersetzen, dann sag: "Ich sage mich los von dem, was ihr tut."
And put thy trust on the Exalted in Might, the Merciful, -
And rely upon the Exalted in Might, the Merciful,
And put thy trust in the Mighty, the Merciful.
Und verlasse dich auf den Allmächtigen und Barmherzigen,

And that they say what they do not do? -
And how they say that which they do not ?
und daß sie sagen, was sie nicht tun?
Except those who believe, work righteousness, engage much in the remembrance of Allah, and defend themselves only after they are unjustly attacked. And soon will the unjust assailants know what vicissitudes their affairs will take!
Except those [poets] who believe and do righteous deeds and remember Allah often and defend [the Muslims] after they were wronged. And those who have wronged are going to know to what [kind of] return they will be returned.
Save those who believe and do good works, and remember Allah much, and vindicate themselves after they have been wronged. Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!
Außer denjenigen, die glauben, rechtschaffene Werke tun und Allahs häufig gedenken und sich (erst) selbst helfen, nachdem ihnen ja Unrecht zugefügt wurde. Und diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, werden erfahren, was für eine Rückkehr sie haben werden.
