They said, "When we have died and become dust and bones, are we indeed to be resurrected?
Sie sagen: "Wenn wir gestorben und zu Erde und Knochen geworden sind, sollen wir denn dann wirklich auferweckt werden?
"Such things have been promised to us and to our fathers before! they are nothing but tales of the ancients!"

Sag: In wessen Hand ist die Herrschaftsgewalt über alles, Der Schutz gewährt und gegen Den kein Schutz gewährt werden kann, wenn ihr wißt?
They will say, "(It belongs) to Allah." Say: "Then how are ye deluded?"
They will say, "[All belongs] to Allah." Say, "Then how are you deluded?"
Sie werden sagen: "(Alles) gehört Allah." Wieso seid ihr denn einem Zauber verfallen?

Rather, We have brought them the truth, and indeed they are liars.
Nein! Vielmehr sind Wir zu ihnen mit der Wahrheit gekommen, aber sie sind wahrlich Lügner.
No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!
Allah has not taken any son, nor has there ever been with Him any deity. [If there had been], then each deity would have taken what it created, and some of them would have sought to overcome others. Exalted is Allah above what they describe [concerning Him].
Allah hat Sich keine Kinder genommen, und keinen Gott gibt es neben Ihm, sonst würde fürwahr jeder Gott das wegnehmen, was er erschaffen hat, und die einen von ihnen würden sich den anderen gegenüber wahrlich überheblich zeigen. Preis sei Allah, (und Erhaben ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) zuschreiben,
He knows what is hidden and what is open: too high is He for the partners they attribute to Him!
[He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, so high is He above what they associate [with Him].
Dem Kenner des Verborgenen und des Offenbaren! Erhaben ist Er über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.

"Then, O my Lord! put me not amongst the people who do wrong!"
My Lord, then do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
mein Herr, dann stelle mich nicht unter das ungerechte Volk.
And We are certainly able to show thee (in fulfilment) that against which they are warned.
And indeed, We are able to show you what We have promised them.
Wir haben fürwahr die Macht dazu, dir zu zeigen, was Wir ihnen androhen.
Repel evil with that which is best: We are well acquainted with the things they say.
Repel, by [means of] what is best, [their] evil. We are most knowing of what they describe.
Wehre mit dem, was besser ist, das Böse ab. Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie da zuschreiben.
And say "O my Lord! I seek refuge with Thee from the suggestions of the Evil Ones.

"In order that I may work righteousness in the things I neglected." - "By no means! It is but a word he says." - Before them is a Partition till the Day they are raised up.
That I might do righteousness in that which I left behind." No! It is only a word he is saying; and behind them is a barrier until the Day they are resurrected.
auf daß ich rechtschaffen handele in dem, was ich hinterlassen habe." Keineswegs! Es ist nur ein Wort, das er (so) sagt; hinter ihnen wird ein trennendes Hindernis sein bis zu dem Tag, da sie auferweckt werden.
Then when the Trumpet is blown, there will be no more relationships between them that Day, nor will one ask after another!
So when the Horn is blown, no relationship will there be among them that Day, nor will they ask about one another.
Wenn dann ins Horn geblasen wird, dann wird es zwischen ihnen keine Verwandt schaft mehr geben an jenem Tag, und sie fragen sich nicht mehr gegenseitig.
Then those whose balance (of good deeds) is heavy, - they will attain salvation:
And those whose scales are heavy [with good deeds] - it is they who are the .

The Fire will sear their faces, and they therein will have taut smiles.
Das Feuer schlägt in ihre Gesichter, und sie werden darin erblaßt sein..
"Were not My Signs rehearsed to you, and ye did but treat them as falsehood?"
[It will be said]. "Were not My verses recited to you and you used to deny them?"
Wurden euch nicht Meine Zeichen verlesen, ihr aber pflegtet sie für Lüge zu erklären?
They will say: "our Lord! Our misfortune overwhelmed us, and we became a people astray!
They will say, "Our Lord, our wretchedness overcame us, and we were a people astray.
Sie werden sagen: "Unser Herr, unser Unglück hat uns besiegt, und wir waren irregehende Leute.
"Our Lord! bring us out of this: if ever we return (to Evil), then shall we be wrong - doers indeed!"
Our Lord, remove us from it, and if we were to return [to evil], we would indeed be wrongdoers."
Unser Herr, bringe uns aus ihr heraus. Wenn wir rückfällig werden, dann sind wir (wirklich) ungerecht."
He will say: "Be ye driven into it (with ignominy)! And speak ye not to Me!
He will say, "Remain despised therein and do not speak to Me.
Er sagt: "Seid darin verstoßen, und sprecht nicht mit Mir.
"A part of My servants there was, who used to pray 'our Lord! we believe; then do Thou forgive us, and have mercy upon us: For Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"
Indeed, there was a party of My servants who said, 'Our Lord, we have believed, so forgive us and have mercy upon us, and You are the best of the merciful.'
Gewiß, eine Gruppe von Meinen Dienern pflegte zu sagen: .Unser Herr, wir glauben, so vergib uns und erbarme Dich unser, denn Du bist der Beste der Barmherzigen.'
"But ye treated them with ridicule, so much so that (ridicule of) them made you forget My Message while ye were laughing at them!
But you took them in mockery to the point that they made you forget My remembrance, and you used to laugh at them.
Aber ihr nahmt sie zum Gegenstand des Spottes, bis ihr ihretwegen Meine Ermahnung vergaßt, und ihr pflegtet über sie zu lachen.
"I have rewarded them this Day for their patience and constancy: they are indeed the ones that have achieved Bliss..."
Indeed, I have rewarded them this Day for their patient endurance - that they are the attainers [of success]."
Ich habe ihnen heute, daß sie standhaft waren, damit vergolten, daß sie die Erfolgreichen sind."
He will say: "What number of years did ye stay on earth?"
[Allah] will say, "How long did you remain on earth in number of years?"
Er wird sagen: "Wie viele Jahre habt ihr in der Erde verweilt?"
They will say: "We stayed a day or part of a day: but ask those who keep account."
They will say, "We remained a day or part of a day; ask those who enumerate."
Sie werden sagen: "Verweilt haben wir einen Tag oder den Teil von einem Tag; doch frage diejenigen, die zählen (können)."
He will say: "Ye stayed not but a little, - if ye had only known!
He will say, "You stayed not but a little - if only you had known.
Er wird sagen: "Ihr habt nur ein wenig verweilt, wenn ihr doch nur wüßtet!
"Did ye then think that We had created you in jest, and that ye would not be brought back to Us (for account)?"
Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?"
Meint ihr denn, daß Wir euch zum sinnlosen Spiel erschaffen hätten und daß ihr nicht zu Uns zurückgebracht würdet?"
Therefore exalted be Allah, the King, the Reality: there is no god but He, the Lord of the Throne of Honour!
So exalted is Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth; there is no deity except Him, Lord of the Noble Throne.
Doch Erhaben ist Allah, der König, der Wahre. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm, dem Herrn des ehrwürdigen Thrones.
If anyone invokes, besides Allah, Any other god, he has no authority therefor; and his reckoning will be only with his Lord! and verily the Unbelievers will fail to win through!
And whoever invokes besides Allah another deity for which he has no proof - then his account is only with his Lord. Indeed, the disbelievers will not succeed.
Und wer neben Allah einen anderen Gott anruft, für den er keinen Beweis hat, dessen Abrechnung liegt nur bei seinem Herrn. Gewiß, den Ungläubigen wird es nicht wohl ergehen.
So say: "O my Lord! grant Thou forgiveness and mercy for Thou art the Best of those who show mercy!"
And, [O Muhammad], say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy, and You are the best of the merciful."
Und sag: Mein Herr, vergib und erbarme Dich, denn Du bist der Beste der Barmherzigen.
