Alif-Lam-Mim-Sad
A Book revealed unto thee, - So let thy heart be oppressed no more by any difficulty on that account, - that with it thou mightest warn (the erring) and teach the Believers).
[This is] a Book revealed to you, [O Muhammad] - so let there not be in your breast distress therefrom - that you may warn thereby and as a reminder to the believers.
(Dies ist) ein Buch, das zu dir (als Offenbarung) herabgesandt worden ist - es soll seinetwegen in deiner Brust keine Bedrängnis sein -, damit du mit ihm warnst, und als Ermahnung für die Gläubigen.
Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord, and follow not, as friends or protectors, other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.
Follow, [O mankind], what has been revealed to you from your Lord and do not follow other than Him any allies. Little do you remember.
Folgt dem, was zu euch von eurem Herrn herabgesandt worden ist, und folgt außer Ihm keinen (anderen) Schutzherren! Wie wenig ihr bedenkt!
How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
And how many cities have We destroyed, and Our punishment came to them at night or while they were sleeping at noon.
Wie viele Städte haben Wir vernichtet! Da kam Unsere Gewalt über sie bei Nacht, oder während sie zu Mittag ruhten.
When (thus) Our punishment took them, no cry did they utter but this: "Indeed we did wrong."
And their declaration when Our punishment came to them was only that they said, "Indeed, we were wrongdoers!"
So war ihr Ausruf, als Unsere Gewalt über sie kam, nur, daß sie sagten: "Wir haben gewiß Unrecht getan."
Then shall we question those to whom Our message was sent and those by whom We sent it.
Then We will surely question those to whom [a message] was sent, and We will surely question the messengers.
Ganz gewiß werden Wir diejenigen, zu denen Gesandte gesandt worden sind, fragen, und ganz gewiß werden Wir die Gesandten fragen.
And verily, We shall recount their whole story with knowledge, for We were never absent (at any time or place).
Then We will surely relate [their deeds] to them with knowledge, and We were not [at all] absent.
Dann werden Wir ihnen ganz gewiß aus (vollem) Wissen berichten, denn Wir waren ja nicht abwesend.
The balance that day will be true (to nicety): those whose scale (of good) will be heavy, will prosper:
And the weighing [of deeds] that Day will be the truth. So those whose scales are heavy - it is they who will be the .
Das Wägen erfolgt an jenem Tag der Wahrheit (entsprechend). Wessen Waagschalen schwer sein werden, jene sind es, denen es wohl ergeht.
Those whose scale will be light, will be their souls in perdition, for that they wrongfully treated Our signs.
And those whose scales are light - they are the ones who will lose themselves for what injustice they were doing toward Our verses.
Wessen Waagschalen aber leicht sein werden, das sind diejenigen, die ihre Seelen verloren haben dafür, daß sie an Unseren Zeichen unrecht zu handeln pflegten.
It is We Who have placed you with authority on earth, and provided you therein with means for the fulfilment of your life: small are the thanks that ye give!
And We have certainly established you upon the earth and made for you therein ways of livelihood. Little are you grateful.
Und Wir haben euch ja auf der Erde eine feste Stellung verliehen, und Wir haben für euch auf ihr (Möglichkeiten für den) Lebensunterhalt geschaffen. Wie wenig ihr dankbar seid!
It is We Who created you and gave you shape; then We bade the angels prostrate to Adam, and they prostrate; not so Iblis; He refused to be of those who prostrate.
And We have certainly created you, [O Mankind], and given you [human] form. Then We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam"; so they prostrated, except for Iblees. He was not of those who prostrated.
Und Wir haben euch ja erschaffen. Hierauf haben Wir euch gestaltet. Hierauf haben Wir zu den Engeln gesagt: "Werft euch vor Adam nieder!" Da warfen sie sich nieder, außer Iblis. Er gehörte nicht zu denjenigen, die sich niederwerfen.
(Allah) said: "What prevented thee from prostrating when I commanded thee?" He said: "I am better than he: Thou didst create me from fire, and him from clay."
[Allah] said, "What prevented you from prostrating when I commanded you?" [Satan] said, "I am better than him. You created me from fire and created him from clay."
Er (Allah) sagte: "Was hat dich davon abgehalten, dich niederzuwerfen, als Ich (es) dir befahl?" Er sagte: "Ich bin besser als er. Du hast mich aus Feuer erschaffen, ihn aber hast Du aus Lehm erschaffen."
(Allah) said: "Get thee down from this: it is not for thee to be arrogant here: get out, for thou art of the meanest (of creatures)."
[Allah] said, "Descend from Paradise, for it is not for you to be arrogant therein. So get out; indeed, you are of the debased.
Er (Allah) sagte: "So geh fort von ihm! Es steht dir nicht zu, darin hochmütig zu sein. So geh hinaus! Gewiß, du gehörst zu den Geringgeachteten."
He said: "Give me respite till the day they are raised up."
[Satan] said, "Reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
Er sagte: "Gewähre mir Aufschub bis zu dem Tag, da sie auferweckt werden."
(Allah) said: "Be thou among those who have respite."
[Allah] said, "Indeed, you are of those reprieved."
Er (Allah) sagte: "Du sollst gewiß zu denjenigen gehören, denen Aufschub gewährt wird."
He said: "Because thou hast thrown me out of the way, lo! I will lie in wait for them on thy straight way:
[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path.
Er sagte: "Darum, daß Du mich in Verirrung hast fallen lassen, werde ich ihnen ganz gewiß auf Deinem geraden Weg auflauern.
"Then will I assault them from before them and behind them, from their right and their left: Nor wilt thou find, in most of them, gratitude (for thy mercies)."
Then I will come to them from before them and from behind them and on their right and on their left, and You will not find most of them grateful [to You]."
Hierauf werde ich ganz gewiß von vorn und von hinten, von ihrer Rechten und von ihrer Linken über sie kommen. Und Du wirst die meisten von ihnen nicht dankbar finden."
(Allah) said: "Get out from this, disgraced and expelled. If any of them follow thee, - Hell will I fill with you all.
[Allah] said, "Get out of Paradise, reproached and expelled. Whoever follows you among them - I will surely fill Hell with you, all together."
Er (Allah) sagte: "Geh hinaus aus ihm, verachtet und verstoßen! Wer auch immer von ihnen dir folgt, Ich werde die Hölle ganz gewiß mit euch allesamt füllen.
"O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the Garden, and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but approach not this tree, or ye run into harm and transgression."
And "O Adam, dwell, you and your wife, in Paradise and eat from wherever you will but do not approach this tree, lest you be among the wrongdoers."
- Und (du,) o Adam, bewohne du und deine Gattin den (Paradies)garten, und dann eßt, wo immer ihr wollt. Aber naht euch nicht diesem Baum, sonst gehört ihr zu den Ungerechten!"
Then began Satan to whisper suggestions to them, bringing openly before their minds all their shame that was hidden from them (before): he said: "Your Lord only forbade you this tree, lest ye should become angels or such beings as live for ever."
But Satan whispered to them to make apparent to them that which was concealed from them of their private parts. He said, "Your Lord did not forbid you this tree except that you become angels or become of the immortal."
Da flüsterte ihnen der Satan ein, um ihnen offen zu zeigen, was ihnen von ihrer Blöße verborgen war. Und er sagte: "Unser Herr hat euch diesen Baum nur verboten, damit ihr nicht Engel werdet oder zu den Ewiglebenden gehört."
And he swore to them both, that he was their sincere adviser.
And he swore [by Allah] to them, "Indeed, I am to you from among the sincere advisors."
Und er schwor ihnen: "Ich gehöre wahrlich zu denjenigen, die euch guten Rat geben."
So by deceit he brought about their fall: when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. And their Lord called unto them: "Did I not forbid you that tree, and tell you that Satan was an avowed enemy unto you?"
So he made them fall, through deception. And when they tasted of the tree, their private parts became apparent to them, and they began to fasten together over themselves from the leaves of Paradise. And their Lord called to them, "Did I not forbid you from that tree and tell you that Satan is to you a clear enemy?"
So verführte er sie trügerisch. Als sie dann von dem Baum gekostet hatten, zeigte sich ihnen ihre Blöße offenkundig, und sie begannen, Blätter des (Paradies)gartens auf sich zusammenzuheften. Und ihr Herr rief ihnen zu: "Habe Ich euch nicht jenen Baum verboten und euch gesagt: Der Satan ist euch ein deutlicher Feind?"
They said: "Our Lord! We have wronged our own souls: If thou forgive us not and bestow not upon us Thy Mercy, we shall certainly be lost."
They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
Sie sagten: "Unser Herr, wir haben uns selbst Unrecht zugefügt. Wenn Du uns nicht vergibst und Dich unser erbarmst, werden wir ganz gewiß zu den Verlorenen gehören."
(Allah) said: "Get ye down. With enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling - place and your means of livelihood, - for a time."
[Allah] said, "Descend, being to one another enemies. And for you on the earth is a place of settlement and enjoyment for a time."
Er (Allah) sagte: "Geht fort! Einer sei des anderen Feind. Und auf der Erde sollt ihr Aufenthalt und Nießbrauch auf Zeit haben."
He said: "Therein shall ye live, and therein shall ye die; but from it shall ye be taken out (at last)."
He said, "Therein you will live, and therein you will die, and from it you will be brought forth."
Er (Allah) sagte: "Auf ihr werdet ihr leben, und auf ihr werdet ihr sterben, und aus ihr werdet ihr hervorgebracht werden."
O ye Children of Adam! We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover your shame, as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, - that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition!
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember.
O Kinder Adams, Wir haben auf euch Kleidung hinabgesandt, die eure Blöße verbirgt, und Gefieder. Aber die Kleidung der Gottesfurcht, die ist besser. Das ist (eines) von Allahs Zeichen, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith.
O children of Adam, let not Satan tempt you as he removed your parents from Paradise, stripping them of their clothing to show them their private parts. Indeed, he sees you, he and his tribe, from where you do not see them. Indeed, We have made the devils allies to those who do not believe.
O Kinder Adams, der Satan soll euch ja nicht der Versuchung aussetzen, wie er eure (Stamm)eltern aus dem (Paradies)garten vertrieben hat, indem er ihnen ihre Kleidung wegnahm, um ihnen ihre Blöße zu zeigen. Gewiß, er sieht euch, er und sein Stamm, von wo ihr sie nicht seht. Gewiß, Wir haben die Satane zu Schutzherren für diejenigen gemacht, die nicht glauben.
When they do aught that is shameful, they say: "We found our fathers doing so"; and "Allah commanded us thus": Say: "Nay, Allah never commands what is shameful: do ye say of Allah what ye know not?"
And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality. Do you say about Allah that which you do not know?"
Und wenn sie eine Abscheulichkeit begehen, sagen sie: "Wir haben unsere Väter darin (vorgefunden, und Allah hat es uns geboten." Sag: Allah gebietet nicht Schändliches. Wollt ihr (denn) über Allah sagen, was ihr nicht wißt?
Say: "My Lord hath commanded justice; and that ye set your whole selves (to Him) at every time and place of prayer, and call upon Him, making your devotion sincere as in His sight: such as He created you in the beginning, so shall ye return."
Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord has ordered justice and that you maintain yourselves [in worship of Him] at every place [or time] of prostration, and invoke Him, sincere to Him in religion." Just as He originated you, you will return [to life] -
Sag: Mein Herr hat Gerechtigkeit geboten, und ihr sollt euer Gesicht bei jeder Gebetsstätte aufrichten und Ihn anrufen, (wobei ihr) Ihm gegenüber aufrichtig in der Religion (sein sollt). So wie Er euch anfangs gebracht hat, werdet ihr zurückkehren.
Some He hath guided: Others have (by their choice) deserved the loss of their way; in that they took the evil ones, in preference to Allah, for their friends and protectors, and think that they receive guidance.
A group [of you] He guided, and a group deserved [to be in] error. Indeed, they had taken the devils as allies instead of Allah while they thought that they were guided.
Einen Teil hat Er rechtgeleitet, an einem (anderen) Teil aber hat sich das Irregehen bewahrheitet, denn sie haben sich die Satane anstatt Allahs zu Schutzherren genommen und meinen, sie seien rechtgeleitet.
O Children of Adam! wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: But waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.
O children of Adam, take your adornment at every masjid, and eat and drink, but be not excessive. Indeed, He likes not those who commit excess.
O Kinder Adams, legt euren Schmuck bei jeder Gebetsstätte an und eßt und trinkt, aber seid nicht maßlos! - Er (Allah) liebt nicht die Maßlosen.
Say: Who hath forbidden the beautiful (gifts) of Allah, which He hath produced for His servants, and the things, clean and pure, (which He hath provided) for sustenance? Say: They are, in the life of this world, for those who believe, (and) purely for them on the Day of Judgment. Thus do We explain the signs in detail for those who understand.
Say, "Who has forbidden the adornment of Allah which He has produced for His servants and the good [lawful] things of provision?" Say, "They are for those who believe during the worldly life [but] exclusively for them on the Day of Resurrection." Thus do We detail the verses for a people who know.
Sag: Wer hat den Schmuck Allahs verboten, den Er für Seine Diener hervorgebracht hat, und (auch) die guten Dinge (aus) der Versorgung (Allahs)? Sag: Sie sind im diesseitigen Leben für diejenigen (bestimmt), die glauben, und am Tag der Auferstehung (ihnen) vorbehalten. So legen Wir die Zeichen ausführlich dar für Leute, die Bescheid wissen.
Say: the things that my Lord hath indeed forbidden are: shameful deeds, whether open or secret; sins and trespasses against truth or reason; assigning of partners to Allah, for which He hath given no authority; and saying things about Allah of which ye have no knowledge.
Say, "My Lord has only forbidden immoralities - what is apparent of them and what is concealed - and sin, and oppression without right, and that you associate with Allah that for which He has not sent down authority, and that you say about Allah that which you do not know."
Sag: Mein Herr hat nur die Abscheulichkeiten verboten, was von ihnen offen und was verborgen ist; und (auch) die Sünde und die Gewalttätigkeit ohne Recht, und, daß ihr Allah (etwas) beigesellt, wofür Er keine Ermächtigung herabgesandt hat, und daß ihr über Allah (etwas) sagt, was ihr nicht wißt.
To every people is a term appointed: when their term is reached, not an hour can they cause delay, nor (an hour) can they advance (it in anticipation).
And for every nation is a [specified] term. So when their time has come, they will not remain behind an hour, nor will they precede [it].
Jede Gemeinschaft hat eine (festgesetzte) Frist. Und wenn nun ihre Frist kommt, können sie (sie) weder um eine Stunde hinausschieben noch sie vorverlegen.
O ye Children of Adam! whenever there come to you messengers from amongst you, rehearsing My signs unto you, - those who are righteous and mend (their lives), - on them shall be no fear nor shall they grieve.
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears Allah and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
O Kinder Adams, wenn immer Gesandte von euch (selbst) zu euch kommen, die euch Meine Zeichen berichten - wer dann gottesfürchtig ist und Besserung bringt, über die soll keine Furcht kommen, noch sollen sie traurig sein.
But those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, - they are companions of the Fire, to dwell therein (for ever).
But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
Diejenigen aber, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklären und sich ihnen gegenüber hochmütig verhalten, das sind Insassen des (Höllen)feuers. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
Who is more unjust than one who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Signs? For such, their portion appointed must reach them from the Book (of decrees): until, when our messengers (of death) arrive and take their souls, they say: "Where are the things that ye used to invoke besides Allah?" They will reply, "They have left us in the lurch," And they will bear witness against themselves, that they had rejected Allah.
And who is more unjust than one who invents about Allah a lie or denies His verses? Those will attain their portion of the decree until when Our messengers come to them to take them in death, they will say, "Where are those you used to invoke besides Allah?" They will say, "They have departed from us," and will bear witness against themselves that they were disbelievers.
Wer ist denn ungerechter, als wer gegen Allah eine Lüge ersinnt oder Seine Zeichen für Lüge erklärt? Jene wird ihr Anteil vom Buch erreichen, bis daß, wenn Unsere Gesandten dann zu ihnen kommen, um sie abzuberufen, sie sagen: "Wo ist das, was ihr außer Allah anzurufen pflegtet?" Sie werden sagen: "Sie sind uns entschwunden." Und sie zeugen gegen sich selbst, daß sie ungläubig waren.
He will say: "Enter ye in the company of the peoples who passed away before you - men and jinns, - into the Fire." Every time a new people enters, it curses its sister - people (that went before), until they follow each other, all into the Fire. Saith the last about the first: "Our Lord! it is these that misled us: so give them a double penalty in the Fire." He will say: "Doubled for all": but this ye do not understand.
[Allah] will say, "Enter among nations which had passed on before you of jinn and mankind into the Fire." Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them "Our Lord, these had misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire. He will say, "For each is double, but you do not know."
Er (Allah) sagt: "Tretet ein unter Gemeinschaften von den Ginn und den Menschen, die schon vor euch dahingegangen sind, ins (Höllen)feuer." Jedesmal, wenn eine Gemeinschaft eintritt, verflucht sie die vorhergehende'. Wenn sie dann alle darin eingeholt werden, sagt die letzte von ihnen in Bezug auf die erste: "Unser Herr, diese da haben uns in die Irre geführt. So gib ihnen eine mehrfache Strafe vom (Höllen)feuer!" Er sagt: "Jeder bekommt das Mehrfache, aber ihr wißt (es) nicht."
Then the first will say to the last: "See then! No advantage have ye over us; so taste ye of the penalty for all that ye did!"
And the first of them will say to the last of them, "Then you had not any favor over us, so taste the punishment for what you used to earn."
Und die erste von ihnen sagt zu der letzten: "Ihr habt doch keinen Vorzug gegenüber uns. So kostet die Strafe für das, was ihr verdient habt."
To those who reject Our signs and treat them with arrogance, no opening will there be of the gates of heaven, nor will they enter the garden, until the camel can pass through the eye of the needle: Such is Our reward for those in sin.
Indeed, those who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - the gates of Heaven will not be opened for them, nor will they enter Paradise until a camel enters into the eye of a needle. And thus do We recompense the criminals.
Gewiß, denjenigen, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklären und sich ihnen gegenüber hochmütig verhalten, werden die Tore des Himmels nicht geöffnet, und sie werden nicht in den (Paradies)garten eingehen, bis ein Kamel durch ein Nadelöhr geht. So vergelten Wir den Übeltätern.
For them there is Hell, as a couch (below) and folds and folds of covering above: such is Our requital of those who do wrong.
They will have from Hell a bed and over them coverings [of fire]. And thus do We recompense the wrongdoers.
Für sie wird die Hölle eine Lagerstatt sein, und über ihnen werden Decken (aus Höllenfeuer) sein. So vergelten Wir den Ungerechten.
But those who believe and work righteousness, - no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear, - they will be Companions of the Garden, therein to dwell (for ever).
But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.
Diejenigen aber, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun - Wir erlegen keiner Seele mehr auf, als sie zu leisten vermag -, jene sind Insassen des (Paradies)gartens. Ewig werden sie darin bleiben.
And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury; - beneath them will be rivers flowing; - and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah, who hath guided us to this (felicity): never could we have found guidance, had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth, that the messengers of our Lord brought unto us." And they shall hear the cry: "Behold! the garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors, for your deeds (of righteousness)."
And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment, [while] flowing beneath them are rivers. And they will say, "Praise to Allah, who has guided us to this; and we would never have been guided if Allah had not guided us. Certainly the messengers of our Lord had come with the truth." And they will be called, "This is Paradise, which you have been made to inherit for what you used to do."
Und Wir nehmen weg, was in ihren Brüsten an Groll ist. Unter ihnen strömen Flüsse. Und sie sagen: "(Alles) Lob gehört Allah, Der uns hierher geleitet hat! Wir hätten unmöglich die Rechtleitung gefunden, wenn uns Allah nicht rechtgeleitet hätte. Die Gesandten unseres Herrn sind wirklich mit der Wahrheit gekommen." Und es wird ihnen zugerufen: "Siehe, das ist der (Paradies)garten. Er ist euch zum Erbe gegeben worden für das, was ihr zu tun pflegtet."
The Companions of the Garden will call out to the Companions of the Fire: "We have indeed found the promises of our Lord to us true: Have you also found Your Lord's promises true?" They shall say, "Yes"; but a crier shall proclaim between them: "The curse of Allah is on the wrong - doers; -
And the companions of Paradise will call out to the companions of the Fire, "We have already found what our Lord promised us to be true. Have you found what your Lord promised to be true?" They will say, "Yes." Then an announcer will announce among them, "The curse of Allah shall be upon the wrongdoers."
Die Insassen des (Paradies)gartens rufen den Insassen des (Höllen)feuers zu: "Wir haben gefunden, daß das, was uns unser Herr versprochen hat, wahr ist. Habt (auch) ihr gefunden, daß das, was euer Herr versprochen hat, wahr ist?" Sie sagen: "Ja!" Und dann ruft ein Rufer unter ihnen aus: "Allahs Fluch (kommt) über die Ungerechten,
"Those who would hinder (men) from the path of Allah and would seek in it something crooked: they were those who denied the Hereafter."
Who averted [people] from the way of Allah and sought to make it [seem] deviant while they were, concerning the Hereafter, disbelievers.
die von Allahs Weg abhalten und danach trachten, ihn krumm zu machen, und die das Jenseits verleugnen."
Between them shall be a veil, and on the heights will be men who would know every one by his marks: they will call out to the Companions of the Garden, "peace on you": they will not have entered, but they will have an assurance (thereof).
And between them will be a partition, and on [its] elevations are men who recognize all by their mark. And they call out to the companions of Paradise, "Peace be upon you." They have not [yet] entered it, but they long intensely.
Und zwischen ihnen ist ein Vorhang. Und auf den Höhen sind Männer, die jeden an seinem Merkmal erkennen. Sie rufen den Insassen des (Paradies)gartens zu: "Friede sei auf euch!" Sie sind aber in ihn nicht eingetreten, und sie begehren (es) doch.
When their eyes shall be turned towards the Companions of the Fire, they will say: "Our Lord! send us not to the company of the wrong - doers."
And when their eyes are turned toward the companions of the Fire, they say, "Our Lord, do not place us with the wrongdoing people."
Und wenn ihre Blicke den Insassen des (Höllen)feuers zugewendet werden, sagen sie: "Unser Herr, lasse uns nicht mit dem ungerechten Volk sein!"
The men on the heights will call to certain men whom they will know from their marks, saying: "Of what profit to you were your hoards and your arrogant ways?
And the companions of the Elevations will call to men [within Hell] whom they recognize by their mark, saying, "Of no avail to you was your gathering and [the fact] that you were arrogant."
Und die Leute der Höhen rufen Männern, die sie an ihren Merkmalen erkennen, zu. Sie sagen: "Es hat euch eure Ansammlung, und daß ihr euch hochmütig zu verhalten pflegtet, nicht genützt.
"Behold! are these not the men whom you swore that Allah with His Mercy would never bless? Enter ye the Garden: no fear shall be on you, nor shall ye grieve."
[Allah will say], "Are these the ones whom you [inhabitants of Hell] swore that Allah would never offer them mercy? Enter Paradise, [O People of the Elevations]. No fear will there be concerning you, nor will you grieve."
Sind das diejenigen, von denen ihr geschworen habt, Allah werde ihnen keine Barmherzigkeit erweisen? - Geht in den (Paradies)garten ein! Über euch soll keine Furcht kommen, noch sollt ihr traurig sein."
The Companions of the Fire will call to the Companions of the Garden: "Pour down to us water or anything that Allah doth provide for your sustenance." They will say: "Both these things hath Allah forbidden to those who rejected Him."
And the companions of the Fire will call to the companions of Paradise, "Pour upon us some water or from whatever Allah has provided you." They will say, "Indeed, Allah has forbidden them both to the disbelievers."
Und die Insassen des (Höllen)feuers rufen den Insassen des (Paradies)gartens zu: "Schüttet auf uns etwas Wasser aus oder etwas von dem, womit Allah euch versorgt hat!" Sie sagen: "Gewiß, Allah hat beides für die Ungläubigen verboten,
"Such as took their religion to be mere amusement and play, and were deceived by the life of the world." That day shall We forget them as they forgot the meeting of this day of theirs, and as they were wont to reject Our signs.
Who took their religion as distraction and amusement and whom the worldly life deluded." So today We will forget them just as they forgot the meeting of this Day of theirs and for having rejected Our verses.
die ihre Religion zum Gegenstand der Zerstreuung und des Spiels genommen haben und die das diesseitige Leben getäuscht hat." Heute werden Wir sie vergessen, so wie sie die Begegnung mit diesem ihrem Tag vergaßen und wie sie Unsere Zeichen zu verleugnen pflegten.
For We had certainly sent unto them a Book, based on knowledge, which We explained in detail, - a guide and a mercy to all who believe.
And We had certainly brought them a Book which We detailed by knowledge - as guidance and mercy to a people who believe.
Wir haben ihnen ja ein Buch gebracht, das Wir mit Wissen ausführlich dargelegt haben, als Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für Leute, die glauben.
Do they just wait for the final fulfilment of the event? On the day the event is finally fulfilled, those who disregarded it before will say: "The messengers of our Lord did indeed bring true (tidings). Have we no intercessors now to intercede on our behalf? Or could we be sent back? then should we behave differently from our behaviour in the past." In fact they will have lost their souls, and the things they invented will leave them in the lurch.
Do they await except its result? The Day its result comes those who had ignored it before will say, "The messengers of our Lord had come with the truth, so are there [now] any intercessors to intercede for us or could we be sent back to do other than we used to do?" They will have lost themselves, and lost from them is what they used to invent.
Erwarten sie (etwas anderes) als seine Deutung? An dem Tag, da seine Deutung eintrifft, werden diejenigen, die es zuvor vergessen haben, sagen: "Die Gesandten unseres Herrn sind wirklich mit der Wahrheit gekommen! Haben wir denn Fürsprecher, die für uns Fürsprache einlegen? Oder können wir zurückgebracht werden, daß wir anders handeln, als wir zu handeln pflegten?" Sie haben wirklich ihre Seelen verloren, und ihnen ist entschwunden, was sie zu ersinnen pflegten.
Your Guardian - Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, and is firmly established on the throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!
Indeed, your Lord is Allah, who created the heavens and earth in six days and then established Himself above the Throne. He covers the night with the day, [another night] chasing it rapidly; and [He created] the sun, the moon, and the stars, subjected by His command. Unquestionably, His is the creation and the command; blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds.
Gewiß, euer Herr ist Allah, Der die Himmel und die Erde in sechs Tagen erschuf und Sich hierauf über den Thron erhob. Er läßt die Nacht den Tag überdecken, wobei sie ihn eilig einzuholen sucht. Und (Er schuf auch) die Sonne, den Mond und die Sterne, durch Seinen Befehl dienstbar gemacht. Sicherlich, Sein ist die Schöpfung und der Befehl. Segensreich ist Allah, der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
Call on your Lord with humility and in private: for Allah loveth not those who trespass beyond bounds.
Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.
Ruft euren Herrn in Unterwürfigkeit flehend und im Verborgenen an. Gewiß, Er liebt nicht die Übertreter.
Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order, but call on Him with fear and longing (in your hearts): for the Mercy of Allah is (always) near to those who do good.
And cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. And invoke Him in fear and aspiration. Indeed, the mercy of Allah is near to the doers of good.
Und stiftet auf der Erde nicht Unheil, nachdem sie in Ordnung gebracht worden ist! Und ruft Ihn in Furcht und Begehren an. Gewiß, die Barmherzigkeit Allahs ist den Gutes Tuenden nahe.
It is He Who sendeth the winds like heralds of glad tidings, going before His mercy: when they have carried the heavy - laden clouds, We drive them to a land that is dead, make rain to descend thereon, and produce every kind of harvest therewith: thus shall We raise up the dead: perchance ye may remember.
And it is He who sends the winds as good tidings before His mercy until, when they have carried heavy rainclouds, We drive them to a dead land and We send down rain therein and bring forth thereby [some] of all the fruits. Thus will We bring forth the dead; perhaps you may be reminded.
Und Er ist es, Der die Winde als Frohboten Seiner Barmherzigkeit (voraus)sendet, bis daß, wenn sie dann schwere Wolken herbeitragen, Wir sie zu einem toten Land treiben, dadurch Wasser hinabsenden und dann dadurch bedenken möget! alle Früchte hervorbringen. Ebenso bringen Wir (dereinst) die Toten hervor, auf daß ihr bedenken möget!
From the land that is clean and good, by the will of its Cherisher, springs up produce, (rich) after its kind: but from the land that is bad, springs up nothing but that which is niggardly: thus do we explain the signs by various (symbols) to those who are grateful.
And the good land - its vegetation emerges by permission of its Lord; but that which is bad - nothing emerges except sparsely, with difficulty. Thus do We diversify the signs for a people who are grateful.
Und aus dem guten Land kommt sein Pflanzenwuchs mit Allahs Erlaubnis hervor, aus dem schlechten (Land) jedoch kommt (nur) Kümmerliches hervor. So legen Wir die Zeichen verschiedenartig dar für Leute, die dankbar sind.
We sent Noah to his people. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. I fear for you the punishment of a dreadful day!
We had certainly sent Noah to his people, and he said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Indeed, I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.
Wir sandten doch bereits Nuh zu seinem Volk, und da sagte er: "O mein Volk, dient Allah! Keinen Gott habt ihr außer Ihm. Gewiß, ich fürchte für euch die Strafe eines gewaltigen Tages."
The leaders of his people said: "Ah! we see thee evidently wandering (in mind)."
Said the eminent among his people, "Indeed, we see you in clear error."
Die führende Schar aus seinem Volk sagte: "Wir sehen dich wahrlich in deutlichem Irrtum."
He said: "O my people! No wandering is there in my (mind): on the contrary I am a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!
[Noah] said, "O my people, there is not error in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, bei mir befindet sich kein Irrtum, sondern ich bin ein Gesandter vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
"I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: Sincere is my advice to you, and I know from Allah something that ye know not.
I convey to you the messages of my Lord and advise you; and I know from Allah what you do not know.
Ich übermittele euch die Botschaften meines Herrn und rate euch gut. Und ich weiß von Allah her, was ihr nicht wißt.
"Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord, through a man of your own people, to warn you, - so that ye may fear Allah and haply receive His Mercy?"
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you and that you may fear Allah so you might receive mercy."
Wundert ihr euch etwa (darüber), daß eine Erinnerung von eurem Herrn zu euch gekommen ist durch einen Mann von euch, damit er euch warne und damit ihr gottesfürchtig werdet, auf daß ihr Erbarmen finden möget?"
But they rejected him, and We delivered him, and those with him, in the Ark: but We overwhelmed in the flood those who rejected Our signs. They were indeed a blind people!
But they denied him, so We saved him and those who were with him in the ship. And We drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.
Sie aber bezichtigten ihn der Lüge. Da retteten Wir ihn und diejenigen, die mit ihm waren, im Schiff und ließen diejenigen ertrinken, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten. Sie waren gewiß blinde Leute.
To the 'Ad people, (We sent) Hud, one of their (own) brethren: He said: O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him will ye not fear (Allah)?"
And to the 'Aad [We sent] their brother Hud. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. Then will you not fear Him?"
Und (Wir sandten) zu "Ad ihren Bruder Hud. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, dient Allah! Keinen Gott habt ihr außer Ihm. Wollt ihr denn nicht gottesfürchtig sein?"
The leaders of the Unbelievers among his people said: "Ah! we see thou art an imbecile!" and "We think thou art a liar!"
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "Indeed, we see you in foolishness, and indeed, we think you are of the liars."
Die führende Schar aus seinem Volk, die ungläubig war, sagte: "Wir sehen dich wahrlich in Torheit (befangen), und wir meinen wahrlich, daß du zu den Lügnern gehörst."
He said: "O my people! I am no imbecile, but (I am) a messenger from the Lord and Cherisher of the worlds!
[Hud] said, "O my people, there is not foolishness in me, but I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds."
Er sagte: "O mein Volk, bei mir befindet sich keine Torheit, sondern ich bin ein Gesandter vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
"I but fulfil towards you the duties of my Lord's mission: I am to you a sincere and trustworthy adviser.
I convey to you the messages of my Lord, and I am to you a trustworthy adviser.
Ich übermittele euch die Botschaften meines Herrn, und ich bin für euch ein vertrauenswürdiger Ratgeber.
"Do ye wonder that there hath come to you a message from your Lord through a man of your own people, to warn you? call in remembrance that He made you inheritors after the people of Noah, and gave you a stature tall among the nations. Call in remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah: that so ye may prosper."
Then do you wonder that there has come to you a reminder from your Lord through a man from among you, that he may warn you? And remember when He made you successors after the people of Noah and increased you in stature extensively. So remember the favors of Allah that you might succeed.
Wundert ihr euch etwa (darüber), daß eine Erinnerung von eurem Herrn zu euch gekommen ist durch einen Mann von euch, damit er euch warne? Gedenkt, als Er euch zu Nachfolgern nach dem Volk Nuhs machte und euch ein Übermaß an körperlichen Vorzügen gab! Gedenkt also der Wohltaten Allahs, auf daß es euch wohl ergehen möge!"
They said: "Comest thou to us, that we may worship Allah alone, and give up the cult of our fathers? bring us what thou threatenest us with, if so be that thou tellest the truth!"
They said, "Have you come to us that we should worship Allah alone and leave what our fathers have worshipped? Then bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the truthful."
Sie sagten: "Bist du zu uns gekommen, damit wir Allah allein dienen und das verlassen, dem unsere Väter immer gedient haben? Bring uns doch her, was du uns androhst, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehören solltest!"
He said: "Punishment and wrath have already come upon you from your Lord: dispute ye with me over names which ye have devised - ye and your fathers, - without authority from Allah? then wait: I am amongst you, also waiting."
[Hud] said, "Already have defilement and anger fallen upon you from your Lord. Do you dispute with me concerning [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allah has not sent down any authority? Then wait; indeed, I am with you among those who wait."
Er sagte: "Greuel und Zorn von eurem Herrn überfallen euch nunmehr. (Wollt) ihr denn mit mir über Namen streiten, die ihr genannt habt, ihr und eure Väter, für die Allah (aber) keine Ermächtigung offenbart hat? So wartet ab! Ich gehöre mit euch zu den Abwartenden."
We saved him and those who adhered to him. By Our mercy, and We cut off the roots of those who rejected Our signs and did not believe.
So We saved him and those with him by mercy from Us. And We eliminated those who denied Our signs, and they were not [at all] believers.
Da retteten Wir ihn und diejenigen, die mit ihm waren, durch Barmherzigkeit von Uns. Aber Wir schnitten die Rückkehr derer, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten, ab, und sie waren nicht gläubig."
To the Thamud people (We sent) Salih, one of their own brethren: He said: "O my people! worship Allah: ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! This she - camel of Allah is a Sign unto you: So leave her to graze in Allah's earth, and let her come to no harm, or ye shall be seized with a grievous punishment.
And to the Thamud [We sent] their brother Salih. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she - camel of Allah [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allah 's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.
Und (Wir sandten) zu Tamud ihren Bruder Salih. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, dient Allah! Keinen Gott habt ihr außer Ihm. Nun ist ein klarer Beweis von eurem Herrn zu euch gekommen: Dies ist die Kamelstute Allahs, euch zum Zeichen. So laßt sie auf Allahs Erde fressen und fügt ihr nichts Böses zu, sonst überkommt euch schmerzhafte Strafe.
"And remember how He made you inheritors after the 'Ad people and gave you habitations in the land: ye build for yourselves palaces and castles in (open) plains, and carve out homes in the mountains; so bring to remembrance the benefits (ye have received) from Allah, and refrain from evil and mischief on the earth."
And remember when He made you successors after the 'Aad and settled you in the land, [and] you take for yourselves palaces from its plains and carve from the mountains, homes. Then remember the favors of Allah and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption."
Und gedenkt, als Er euch zu Nachfolgern nach den 'Ad machte und euch auf der Erde (Stätten) zuwies, so daß ihr euch in ihrem Flachland Schlösser nahmt und die Berge zu Häusern aushautet. Gedenkt also der Wohltaten Allahs und richtet auf der Erde nicht unheilstiftend Verderben an!"
The leaders of the arrogant party among his people said to those who were reckoned powerless - those among them who believed: "know ye indeed that Salih is a messenger from his Lord?" They said: "We do indeed believe in the revelation which hath been sent through him."
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people to those who were oppressed - to those who believed among them, "Do you [actually] know that Salih is sent from his Lord?" They said, "Indeed we, in that with which he was sent, are believers."
Die führende Schar, die sich hochmütig verhielt, aus seinem Volk, sagte zu denjenigen, die unterdrückt waren, (und zwar) zu denen von ihnen, die gläubig waren: "Wißt ihr (sicher), daß Salih von seinem Herrn gesandt ist?" Sie sagten: "Wir glauben gewiß an das, womit er gesandt worden ist."
The Arrogant party said: "For our part, we reject what ye believe in."
Said those who were arrogant, "Indeed we, in that which you have believed, are disbelievers."
Diejenigen, die sich hochmütig verhielten, sagten: "Wir verleugnen ja das, woran ihr glaubt."
Then they ham - strung the she - camel, and insolently defied the order of their Lord, saying: "O Salih! bring about thy threats, if thou art a messenger (of Allah)!"
So they hamstrung the she - camel and were insolent toward the command of their Lord and said, "O Salih, bring us what you promise us, if you should be of the messengers."
Dann schnitten sie der Kamelstute die Sehnen durch und lehnten sich gegen den Befehl ihres Herrn auf. Und sie sagten: "O Salih, bringe uns doch her, was du uns angedroht hast, wenn du zu den Gesandten gehörst!"
So the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes in the morning!
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
Da ergriff sie das Zittern, und am Morgen lagen sie in ihrer Wohnstätte auf den Brüsten da.
So Salih left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the message for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but ye love not good counsellors!"
And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the message of my Lord and advised you, but you do not like advisors."
So kehrte er sich von ihnen ab und sagte: "O mein Volk, ich habe euch doch die Botschaft meines Herrn ausgerichtet und euch gut geraten. Aber ihr liebt nicht die guten Ratgeber."
We also (sent) Lut: He said to his people: "Do ye commit lewdness such as no people in creation (ever) committed before you?
And [We had sent] Lot when he said to his people, "Do you commit such immorality as no one has preceded you with from among the worlds?
Und (Wir sandten) Lut, als er zu seinem Volk sagte: "Wollt ihr denn das Abscheuliche begehen, wie es vor euch niemand von den Weltenbewohnern begangen hat?
"For ye practise your lusts on men in preference to women: ye are indeed a people transgressing beyond bounds."
Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing people."
Ihr laßt euch doch wahrlich in Begierde mit den Männern ein anstatt mit den Frauen. Aber nein! Ihr seid maßlose Leute.
And his people gave no answer but this: they said, "Drive them out of your city: these are indeed men who want to be clean and pure!"
But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
Die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, daß sie sagten: "Vertreibt sie aus eurer Stadt! Das sind Menschen, die sich rein halten."
But we saved him and his family, except his wife: she was of those who legged behind.
So We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who remained [with the evildoers].
Da retteten Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen, außer seiner Frau; Sie gehörte zu denjenigen, die zurückblieben.
And we rained down on them a shower (of brimstone): Then see what was the end of those who indulged in sin and crime!
And We rained upon them a rain [of stones]. Then see how was the end of the criminals.
Und Wir ließen einen Regen auf sie niedergehen. So schau, wie das Ende der Übeltäter war!
To the Madyan people We sent Shu'aib, one of their own brethren: he said: "O my people! worship Allah; Ye have no other god but Him. Now hath come unto you a clear (Sign) from your Lord! Give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due; and do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you, if ye have Faith.
And to [the people of] Madyan [We sent] their brother Shu'ayb. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. So fulfill the measure and weight and do not deprive people of their due and cause not corruption upon the earth after its reformation. That is better for you, if you should be believers.
Und (Wir sandten) zu Madyan ihren Bruder Su'aib. Er sagte: "O mein Volk, dient Allah! Keinen Gott habt ihr außer Ihm. Nun ist ein klarer Beweis von eurem Herrn zu euch gekommen; so gebt volles Maß und Gewicht und schmälert den Menschen nicht ihre Sachen und stiftet auf der Erde nicht Unheil, nachdem sie in Ordnung gebracht worden ist! Das ist besser für euch, wenn ihr gläubig seid.
"And squat not on every road, breathing threats, hindering from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, and seeking in it something crooked; But remember how ye were little, and He gave you increase. And hold in your mind's eye what was the end of those who did mischief.
And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters.
Und lauert nicht auf jedem Weg, indem ihr droht und von Allahs Weg denjenigen abhaltet, der an Ihn glaubt, und danach trachtet, ihn krumm zu machen. Und gedenkt (der Zeit), als ihr (nur) wenige wart und Er euch dann zu vielen machte. Und schaut, wie das Ende der Unheilstifter war!
"And if there is a party among you who believes in the message with which I have been sent, and a party which does not believe, hold yourselves in patience until Allah doth decide between us: for He is the best to decide.
And if there should be a group among you who has believed in that with which I have been sent and a group that has not believed, then be patient until Allah judges between us. And He is the best of judges."
Und wenn ein Teil von euch an das glauben sollte, womit ich gesandt worden bin, ein anderer Teil aber nicht glauben sollte, so geduldet euch, bis Allah zwischen uns richtet. Er ist der Beste derer, die richten."
The leaders, the arrogant party among his people, said: "O Shu'aib! we shall certainly drive thee out of our city - (thee) and those who believe with thee; or else ye (thou and they) shall have to return to our ways and religion." He said: "What! even though we do detest (them)?
Said the eminent ones who were arrogant among his people, "We will surely evict you, O Shu'ayb, and those who have believed with you from our city, or you must return to our religion." He said, "Even if we were unwilling?"
Die führende Schar, die sich hochmütig verhielt, aus seinem Volk, sagte: "Wir werden dich, o Su'aib, und diejenigen, die mit dir glauben, ganz gewiß aus unserer Stadt vertreiben, oder aber ihr kehrt zu unserem Glaubensbekenntnis zurück!" Er sagte: "Was denn, auch wenn es uns zuwider ist?
"We should indeed invent a lie against Allah, if we returned to your ways after Allah hath rescued us therefrom; nor could we by any manner of means return thereto unless it be as in the will and plan of Allah, Our Lord. Our Lord can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by His knowledge. In the Allah is our trust. our Lord! decide Thou between us and our people in truth, for Thou art the best to decide."
We would have invented against Allah a lie if we returned to your religion after Allah had saved us from it. And it is not for us to return to it except that Allah, our Lord, should will. Our Lord has encompassed all things in knowledge. Upon Allah we have relied. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, and You are the best of those who give decision."
Wir würden ja gegen Allah eine Lüge ersinnen, wenn wir zu eurem Glaubensbekenntnis zurückkehrten, nachdem Allah uns vor ihr errettet hat. Es steht uns nicht zu, zu ihr zurückzukehren, außer daß Allah, unser Herr, (es) wollte. Unser Herr umfaßt alles mit (Seinem) Wissen. Auf Allah verlassen wir uns. Unser Herr, entscheide zwischen uns und unserem Volk der Wahrheit entsprechend! Du bist ja der beste Entscheider."
The leaders, the unbelievers among his people, said: "If ye follow Shu'aib, be sure then ye are ruined!"
Said the eminent ones who disbelieved among his people, "If you should follow Shu'ayb, indeed, you would then be losers."
Aber die führende Schar aus seinem Volk, die ungläubig war, sagte: "Wenn ihr Su'aib folgt, dann werdet ihr fürwahr Verlierer sein."
But the earthquake took them unawares, and they lay prostrate in their homes before the morning!
So the earthquake seized them, and they became within their home [corpses] fallen prone.
Da ergriff sie das Zittern, und am Morgen lagen sie in ihrer Wohnstätte auf den Brüsten da.
The men who reject Shu'aib became as if they had never been in the homes where they had flourished: the men who rejected Shu'aib - it was they who were ruined!
Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was as though they had never resided there. Those who denied Shu'ayb - it was they who were the losers.
Diejenigen, die Su'aib der Lüge bezichtigen, waren, als hätten sie (überhaupt) nicht darin gewohnt. Diejenigen, die Su'aib der Lüge bezichtigten, waren (nun) selbst die Verlierer.
So Shu'aib left them, saying: "O my people! I did indeed convey to you the messages for which I was sent by my Lord: I gave you good counsel, but how shall I lament over a people who refuse to believe!"
And he turned away from them and said, "O my people, I had certainly conveyed to you the messages of my Lord and advised you, so how could I grieve for a disbelieving people?"
So kehrte er sich von ihnen ab und sagte: "O mein Volk, ich habe euch doch die Botschaften meines Herrn ausgerichtet und euch gut geraten. Wie sollte ich betrübt sein über ungläubige Leute?"
Whenever We sent a prophet to a town, We took up its people in suffering and adversity, in order that they might learn humility.
And We sent to no city a prophet [who was denied] except that We seized its people with poverty and hardship that they might humble themselves [to Allah].
Und Wir haben in keine Stadt Propheten gesandt, ohne daß Wir über ihre Bewohner Not und Leid hätten kommen lassen, auf daß sie in Unterwürfigkeit flehen mögen.
Then We changed their suffering into prosperity, until they grew and multiplied, and began to say: "Our fathers (too) were touched by suffering and affluence"... Behold! We called them to account of a sudden, while they realised not (their peril).
Then We exchanged in place of the bad [condition], good, until they increased [and prospered] and said, "Our fathers [also] were touched with hardship and ease." So We seized them suddenly while they did not perceive.
Hierauf tauschten Wir anstelle des Bösen Gutes ein, bis sie (sich und ihren Besitz) vermehrten und sagten: "Schon unseren Vätern ist Leid und (auch) Freude widerfahren." Da ergriffen Wir sie plötzlich, ohne daß sie merkten.
If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (All kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth; but they rejected (the truth), and We brought them to book for their misdeeds.
And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth; but they denied [the messengers], so We seized them for what they were earning."
Hätten aber die Bewohner der Städte geglaubt und wären sie gottesfürchtig gewesen, hätten Wir ihnen bestimmt Segnungen von dem Himmel und der Erde aufgetan. Aber sie erklärten (die Botschaft) für Lüge, und so ergriffen Wir sie für das, was sie erworben hatten.
Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of Our wrath by night while they were asleep?
Then, did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them at night while they were asleep?
Glauben denn die Bewohner der Städte, sicher davor zu sein, daß Unsere Gewalt bei Nacht über sie kommt, während sie schlafen?
Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (care - free)?
Or did the people of the cities feel secure from Our punishment coming to them in the morning while they were at play?
Oder glauben die Bewohner der Städte, sicher davor zu sein, daß Unsere Gewalt am hellen Morgen über sie kommt, während sie spielen?
Did they then feel secure against the plan of Allah? - but no one can feel secure from the Plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!
Then did they feel secure from the plan of Allah? But no one feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people.
Glauben sie denn, sicher vor Allahs Ränken zu sein? Aber vor Allahs Ränken sicher zu sein, glaubt nur das Volk derjenigen, die Verlierer sind.
To those who inherit the earth in succession to its (previous) possessors, is it not a guiding, (lesson) that, if We so willed, We could punish them (too) for their sins, and seal up their hearts so that they could not hear?
Has it not become clear to those who inherited the earth after its [previous] people that if We willed, We could afflict them for their sins? But We seal over their hearts so they do not hear.
Ist denjenigen, die die Erde nach ihren (vorherigen) Bewohnern erben, nicht deutlich geworden, daß, wenn Wir wollten, Wir sie für ihre Sünden treffen würden? Und Wir versiegeln ihre Herzen, so daß sie nicht hören.
Such were the towns whose story We (thus) relate unto thee: There came indeed to them their messengers with clear (signs): But they would not believe what they had rejected before. Thus doth Allah seal up the hearts of those who reject faith.
Those cities - We relate to you, [O Muhammad], some of their news. And certainly did their messengers come to them with clear proofs, but they were not to believe in that which they had denied before. Thus does Allah seal over the hearts of the disbelievers.
Das sind die Städte. Über sie erzählen Wir dir (einiges) von ihren Berichten. Ihre Gesandten kamen ja zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen, aber sie konnten nicht an das glauben, was sie zuvor für Lüge erklärt hatten. So versiegelt Allah die Herzen der Ungläubigen.
Most of them We found not men (true) to their covenant: but most of them We found rebellious and disobedient.
And We did not find for most of them any covenant; but indeed, We found most of them defiantly disobedient.
Und Wir fanden bei den meisten von ihnen keine Vertragstreue, sondern Wir fanden (, daß) die meisten von ihnen fürwahr Frevler (waren).
Then after them We sent Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his chiefs, but they wrongfully rejected them: So see what was the end of those who made mischief.
Then We sent after them Moses with Our signs to Pharaoh and his establishment, but they were unjust toward them. So see how was the end of the corrupters.
Hierauf schickten Wir nach ihnen Musa mit Unseren Zeichen zu Fir'aun und seiner führenden Schar, doch sie handelten unrecht an ihnen. Schau nur, wie das Ende der Unheilstifter war!
Moses said: "O Pharaoh! I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds, -
And Moses said, "O Pharaoh, I am a messenger from the Lord of the worlds
Musa sagte: "O Fir'aun, gewiß, ich bin ein Gesandter vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner,
One for whom it is right to say nothing but truth about Allah. Now have I come unto you (people), from your Lord, with a clear (Sign): So let the Children of Israel depart along with me."
[Who is] obligated not to say about Allah except the truth. I have come to you with clear evidence from your Lord, so send with me the Children of Israel."
bestrebt', über Allah nur die Wahrheit zu sagen. Ich bin doch mit einem klaren Beweis von eurem Herrn zu euch gekommen. So lasse die Kinder Isra'ils mit mir gehen!"
(Pharaoh) said: "If indeed thou hast come with a Sign, show it forth, - if thou tellest the truth."
[Pharaoh] said, "If you have come with a sign, then bring it forth, if you should be of the truthful."
Er sagte: "Wenn du mit einem Zeichen gekommen bist, dann bringe es her, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst."
Then (Moses) threw his rod, and behold! it was a serpent, plain (for all to see)!
So Moses threw his staff, and suddenly it was a serpent, manifest.
Er warf seinen Stock hin, und sogleich war er eine deutliche Schlange.
And he drew out his hand, and behold! it was white to all beholders!
And he drew out his hand; thereupon it was white [with radiance] for the observers.
Und er zog seine Hand heraus, da war sie weiß für die Betrachter.
Said the Chiefs of the people of Pharaoh: "This is indeed a sorcerer well - versed.
Said the eminent among the people of Pharaoh, "Indeed, this is a learned magician
Die führende Schar aus dem Volk Fir'auns sagte: "Dieser ist fürwahr ein kenntnisreicher Zauberer,
"His plan is to get you out of your land: then what is it ye counsel?"
Who wants to expel you from your land [through magic], so what do you instruct?"
der euch aus eurem Land vertreiben will. Was befehlt ihr nun?"
They said: "Keep him and his brother in suspense (for a while); and send to the cities men to collect -
They said, "Postpone [the matter of] him and his brother and send among the cities gatherers
Sie sagten: "Stelle ihn und seinen Bruder zurück, und sende in die Städte (Boten), die (die Leute) versammeln,
And bring up to thee all (our) sorcerers well - versed."
Who will bring you every learned magician."
damit sie dir jeden kenntnisreichen Zauberer herbeibringen."
So there came the sorcerers to Pharaoh: They said, "of course we shall have a (suitable) reward if we win!"
And the magicians came to Pharaoh. They said, "Indeed for us is a reward if we are the predominant."
Und die Zauberer kamen zu Fir'aun. Sie sagten: "Wir bekommen doch sicher Lohn, wenn wir es sind, die siegen?"
He said: "Yea, (and more), - for ye shall in that case be (raised to posts) nearest (to my person)."
He said, "Yes, and, [moreover], you will be among those made near [to me]."
Er sagte: "Ja. Und ihr werdet fürwahr zu den Nahegestellten gehören."
They said: "O Moses! wilt thou throw (first), or shall we have the (first) throw?"
They said, "O Moses, either you throw [your staff], or we will be the ones to throw [first]."
Sie sagten: "O Musa, entweder wirfst du oder wir sind es, die (zuerst) werfen."
Said Moses: "Throw ye (first)." So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and struck terror into them: for they showed a great (feat of) magic.
He said, "Throw," and when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck terror into them, and they presented a great [feat of] magic.
Er sagte: "Werft (ihr zuerst)!" Als sie nun warfen, bezauberten sie die Augen der Menschen und flößten ihnen Furcht ein, und sie brachten einen gewaltigen Zauber vor.
We put it into Moses's mind by inspiration: "Throw (now) thy rod": and behold! it swallows up straight away all the falsehoods which they fake!
And We inspired to Moses, "Throw your staff," and at once it devoured what they were falsifying.
Und Wir gaben Musa ein: "Wirf deinen Stock hin!" Da verschlang er sogleich, was sie vortäuschten.
Thus truth was confirmed, and all that they did was made of no effect.
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.
So bestätigte sich die Wahrheit, und zunichte wurde das, was sie taten.
So the (great ones) were vanquished there and then, and were made to look small.
And Pharaoh and his people were overcome right there and became debased.
Sie wurden dort besiegt und kehrten gering geachtet zurück.
But the sorcerers fell down prostrate in adoration.
And the magicians fell down in prostration [to Allah].
Und die Zauberer warfen sich ehrerbietig nieder.
Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds, -
They said, "We have believed in the Lord of the worlds,
Sie sagten: "Wir glauben an den Herrn der Weltenbewohner,
"The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
The Lord of Moses and Aaron."
den Herrn von Musa und Harun."
Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences).
Said Pharaoh, "You believed in him before I gave you permission. Indeed, this is a conspiracy which you conspired in the city to expel therefrom its people. But you are going to know.
Fir'aun sagte: "Ihr glaubt an Ihn, bevor ich es euch erlaube? Das sind wahrlich Ränke, die ihr in der Stadt geschmiedet habt, um ihre Bewohner daraus zu vertreiben. Aber ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
"Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross."
I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides; then I will surely crucify you all."
Ich werde ganz gewiß eure Hände und eure Füße wechselseitig abhacken und euch hierauf ganz gewiß allesamt kreuzigen (lassen)."
They said: "For us, We are but sent back unto our Lord:
They said, "Indeed, to our Lord we will return.
Sie sagten: "Wir werden gewiß zu unserem Herrn zurückkehren!
"But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the Signs of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy, and take our souls unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)!
And you do not resent us except because we believed in the signs of our Lord when they came to us. Our Lord, pour upon us patience and let us die as Muslims [in submission to You]."
Du grollst uns ja nur (darum), daß wir an die Zeichen unseres Herrn glaubten, als sie zu uns kamen. Unser Herr, überschütte uns mit Standhaftigkeit und berufe uns ab als (Dir) Ergebene!"
Said the chiefs of Pharaoh's people: "Wilt thou leave Moses and his people, to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon thee and thy gods?" He said: "Their male children will we slay; (only) their females will we save alive; and we have over them (power) irresistible."
And the eminent among the people of Pharaoh said," Will you leave Moses and his people to cause corruption in the land and abandon you and your gods?" [Pharaoh] said, "We will kill their sons and keep their women alive; and indeed, we are subjugators over them."
Die führende Schar aus dem Volk Fir'auns sagte: "Willst du zulassen, daß Musa und sein Volk auf der Erde Unheil stiften und daß er dich und deine Götter verläßt?" Er sagte: "Wir werden ihre Söhne allesamt töten und (nur) ihre Frauen am Leben lassen. Wir sind ja Bezwinger über sie."
Said Moses to his people: "Pray for help from Allah, and (wait) in patience and constancy: for the earth is Allah's, to give as a heritage to such of His servants as He pleaseth; and the end is (best) for the righteous.
Said Moses to his people, "Seek help through Allah and be patient. Indeed, the earth belongs to Allah. He causes to inherit it whom He wills of His servants. And the [best] outcome is for the righteous."
Musa sagte zu seinem Volk: "Sucht Hilfe bei Allah, und seid standhaft! Gewiß, die Erde gehört Allah; Er gibt sie zum Erbe, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will. Und das (gute) Ende gehört den Gottesfürchtigen."
They said: "We have had (nothing but) trouble, both before and after thou camest to us." He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inheritors in the earth; that so He may try you by your deeds."
They said, "We have been harmed before you came to us and after you have come to us." He said, "Perhaps your Lord will destroy your enemy and grant you succession in the land and see how you will do."
Sie sagten: "Uns ist Leid zugefügt worden, bevor du zu uns kamst und nachdem du zu uns gekommen bist." Er sagte: "Vielleicht wird euer Herr euren Feind vernichten und euch zu Nachfolgern auf der Erde machen und dann schauen, wie ihr handelt."
We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops; that they might receive admonition.
And We certainly seized the people of Pharaoh with years of famine and a deficiency in fruits that perhaps they would be reminded.
Und Wir ergriffen ja schon die Leute Fir'auns mit Dürrejahren und Mangel an Früchten, auf daß sie bedenken mögen.
But when good (times) came, they said, "This is due to us;" When gripped by calamity, they ascribed it to evil omens connected with Moses and those with him! Behold! in truth the omens of evil are theirs in Allah's sight, but most of them do not understand!
But when good came to them, they said, "This is ours [by right]." And if a bad [condition] struck them, they saw an evil omen in Moses and those with him. Unquestionably, their fortune is with Allah, but most of them do not know.
Aber wenn dann etwas Gutes zu ihnen kam, sagten sie: "Dies gehört uns." und wenn sie etwas Böses traf, sahen sie ein (böses) Vorzeichen in Musa und denjenigen, die mit ihm waren. Aber ihr Vorzeichen ist sicherlich bei Allah, jedoch wissen die meisten von ihnen nicht.
They said (to Moses): "Whatever be the Signs thou bringest, to work therewith thy sorcery on us, we shall never believe in thee.
And they said, "No matter what sign you bring us with which to bewitch us, we will not be believers in you."
Und sie sagten: "Welches Zeichen du uns auch vorbringen magst, um uns damit zu bezaubern, so werden wir dir nicht glauben."
So We sent (plagues) on them: Wholesale death, Locusts, Lice, Frogs, And Blood: Signs openly self - explained: but they were steeped in arrogance, - a people given to sin.
So We sent upon them the flood and locusts and lice and frogs and blood as distinct signs, but they were arrogant and were a criminal people.
Da sandten Wir über sie die Überschwemmung, die Heuschrecken, die Zecken, die Frösche und das Blut als einzeln vorgebrachte Zeichen. Aber sie verhielten sich hochmütig und waren ein Volk von Übeltätern.
Every time the penalty fell on them, they said: "O Moses! on your behalf call on thy Lord in virtue of his promise to thee: If thou wilt remove the penalty from us, we shall truly believe in thee, and we shall send away the Children of Israel with thee."
And when the punishment descended upon them, they said, "O Moses, invoke for us your Lord by what He has promised you. If you [can] remove the punishment from us, we will surely believe you, and we will send with you the Children of Israel."
Als nun die unheilvolle Strafe sie überfiel, sagten sie: "O Musa, rufe für uns deinen Herrn an auf Grund Seines Bundes mit dir. Wenn du die unheilvolle Strafe hinwegnimmst, werden wir dir ganz gewiß glauben und die Kinder Isra'ils ganz gewiß mit dir wegschicken."
But every time We removed the penalty from them according to a fixed term which they had to fulfil, - Behold! they broke their word!
But when We removed the punishment from them until a term which they were to reach, then at once they broke their word.
Als Wir dann die unheilvolle Strafe von ihnen hinwegnahmen auf eine Frist, die sie erreichen sollten, brachen sie sogleich (ihr Wort).
So We exacted retribution from them: We drowned them in the sea, because they rejected Our Signs and failed to take warning from them.
So We took retribution from them, and We drowned them in the sea because they denied Our signs and were heedless of them.
Da übten Wir an ihnen Vergeltung und ließen sie im großen Gewässer ertrinken, dafür, daß sie Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten und ihnen gegenüber unachtsam waren.
And We made a people, considered weak (and of no account), inheritors of lands in both east and west, - lands whereon We sent down Our blessings. The fair promise of thy Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel, because they had patience and constancy, and We levelled to the ground the great works and fine buildings which Pharaoh and his people erected (with such pride).
And We caused the people who had been oppressed to inherit the eastern regions of the land and the western ones, which We had blessed. And the good word of your Lord was fulfilled for the Children of Israel because of what they had patiently endured. And We destroyed [all] that Pharaoh and his people were producing and what they had been building.
Und Wir gaben dem Volk, das unterdrückt worden war, zum Erbe die östlichen und die westlichen (Gegenden) des Landes, das Wir gesegnet haben. Und das schönste Wort deines Herrn erfüllte sich an den Kindern Isra'ils dafür, daß sie standhaft waren. Und Wir zerstörten, was Fir'aun und sein Volk zu machen und was sie zu errichten pflegten.
We took the Children of Israel (with safety) across the sea. They came upon a people devoted entirely to some idols they had. They said: "O Moses! fashion for us a god like unto the gods they have." He said: "Surely ye are a people without knowledge.
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea; then they came upon a people intent in devotion to [some] idols of theirs. They said, "O Moses, make for us a god just as they have gods." He said, "Indeed, you are a people behaving ignorantly.
Und Wir ließen die Kinder lsra'ils das Meer durchschreiten. Sie kamen zu Leuten, die sich zur Andacht an ihren Götzen zurückzogen. Sie sagten: "O Musa, mache uns einen Gott, so wie sie Götter haben!" Er sagte: "Ihr seid ja Leute, die töricht sind.
"As to these folk, - the cult they are in is (but) a fragment of a ruin, and vain is the (worship) which they practise."
Indeed, those [worshippers] - destroyed is that in which they are [engaged], and worthless is whatever they were doing."
Gewiß, was diese da betreiben, wird zerstört, und zunichte wird, was sie zu tun pflegten."
He said: "Shall I seek for you a god other than the (true) Allah, when it is Allah Who hath endowed you with gifts above the nations?"
He said, "Is it other than Allah I should desire for you as a god while He has preferred you over the worlds?"
Er sagte: "Sollte ich für euch einen anderen Gott begehren als Allah, wo Er euch vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern bevorzugt hat?"
And remember We rescued you from Pharaoh's people, who afflicted you with the worst of penalties, who slew your male children and saved alive your females: in that was a momentous trial from your Lord.
And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.
Und (gedenkt,) als Wir euch vor den Leuten Fir'auns retteten, als sie euch eine böse Qual auferlegten, indem sie eure Söhne allesamt töteten und (nur) eure Frauen am Leben ließen. Darin war für euch eine gewaltige Prüfung von eurem Herrn.
We appointed for Moses thirty nights, and completed (the period) with ten (more): thus was completed the term (of communion) with his Lord, forty nights. And Moses had charged his brother Aaron (before he went up): "Act for me amongst my people: Do right, and follow not the way of those who do mischief."
And We made an appointment with Moses for thirty nights and perfected them by [the addition of] ten; so the term of his Lord was completed as forty nights. And Moses said to his brother Aaron, "Take my place among my people, do right [by them], and do not follow the way of the corrupters."
Und Wir gaben Musa eine Verabredung auf dreißig Nächte und machten sie mit (weiteren) zehn voll. So vervollständigte sich die festgesetzte Zahl seines Herrn auf vierzig Nächte. Und Musa sagte zu seinem Bruder Harun: "Nimm meine Stelle bei meinem Volk ein, sorge für Ordnung und folge nicht dem Weg der Unheilstifter!"
When Moses came to the place appointed by Us, and his Lord addressed him, He said: "O my Lord! show (Thyself) to me, that I may look upon thee." Allah said: "By no means canst thou see Me (direct); But look upon the mount; if it abide in its place, then shalt thou see Me." When his Lord manifested His glory on the Mount, He made it as dust. And Moses fell down in a swoon. When he recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to Thee! to Thee I turn in repentance, and I am the first to believe."
And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allah] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."
Als nun Musa zu Unserer festgesetzten Zeit kam und sein Herr zu ihm sprach, sagte er: "Mein Herr, zeige (Dich) mir, daß ich Dich anschaue!" Er sagte: "Du wirst Mich nicht sehen. Aber schau den Berg an! Wenn er fest an seiner Stelle bleibt, dann wirst du Mich sehen." Als nun sein Herr dem Berg offenbar erschien, ließ Er ihn in sich zusammensinken, und Musa fiel bewußtlos nieder'. Als er dann (wieder) zu sich kam, sagte er: "Preis sei Dir! Ich wende mich in Reue Dir zu, und ich bin der erste der Gläubigen."
(Allah) said: "O Moses! I have chosen thee above (other) men, by the mission I (have given thee) and the words I (have spoken to thee): take then the (revelation) which I give thee, and be of those who give thanks."
[Allah] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you]. So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."
Er sagte: "O Musa, Ich habe dich durch Meine Botschaften und Mein Gespräch (mit dir) vor den Menschen auserwählt! So nimm, was Ich dir gegeben habe, und gehöre zu den Dankbaren!"
And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said): "Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts: soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked, - (How they lie desolate)."
And We wrote for him on the tablets [something] of all things - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it. I will show you the home of the defiantly disobedient."
Und Wir schrieben ihm auf den Tafeln von allem eine Ermahnung und eine ausführliche Darlegung von allem. "So halte sie fest und befiel deinem Volk, sich an das Schönste in ihnen zu halten! Ich werde euch die Wohnstätte der Frevler zeigen."
Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right - them will I turn away from My signs: Even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way; but if they see the way of error, that is the way they will adopt. For they have rejected our signs, and failed to take warning from them.
I will turn away from My signs those who are arrogant upon the earth without right; and if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. And if they see the way of consciousness, they will not adopt it as a way; but if they see the way of error, they will adopt it as a way. That is because they have denied Our signs and they were heedless of them.
Ich werde von meinen Zeichen diejenigen abwenden, die auf der Erde ohne Recht hochmütig sind. Wenn sie auch jedes Zeichen sehen, glauben sie nicht daran. Und wenn sie den Weg der Besonnenheit sehen, nehmen sie ihn sich nicht zum Weg. Wenn sie aber den Weg der Verirrung sehen, nehmen sie ihn sich zum Weg. Dies, weil sie Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklären und ihnen gegenüber unachtsam sind.
Those who reject Our signs and the meeting in the Hereafter, - vain are their deeds: Can they expect to be rewarded except as they have wrought?
Those who denied Our signs and the meeting of the Hereafter - their deeds have become worthless. Are they recompensed except for what they used to do?
Diejenigen, die Unsere Zeichen und die Begegnung mit dem Jenseits für Lüge erklären, deren Werke werden hinfällig. Wird ihnen (denn) etwas anderes vergolten als das, was sie zu tun pflegten?
The people of Moses made, in his absence, out of their ornaments, the image of calf, (for worship): it seemed to low: did they not see that it could neither speak to them, nor show them the way? They took it for worship and they did wrong.
And the people of Moses made, after [his departure], from their ornaments a calf - an image having a lowing sound. Did they not see that it could neither speak to them nor guide them to a way? They took it [for worship], and they were wrongdoers.
Und das Volk Musas nahm sich, nachdem er (weggegangen) war, aus ihren Schmucksachen (verfertigt) ein Kalb als Leib, der blökte. Sahen sie denn nicht, daß es nicht zu ihnen spricht und sie nicht den rechten Weg leitet? Sie nahmen es sich (als Götzen) und waren ungerecht.
When they repented, and saw that they had erred, they said: "If our Lord have not mercy upon us and forgive us, we shall indeed be of those who perish."
And when regret overcame them and they saw that they had gone astray, they said, "If our Lord does not have mercy upon us and forgive us, we will surely be among the losers."
Und als sich bei ihnen die Reue einstellte und sie sahen, daß sie bereits irregegangen waren, sagten sie: "Wenn sich unser Herr nicht unser erbarmt und uns vergibt, werden wir ganz gewiß zu den Verlierern gehören!"
When Moses came back to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence: did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord?" He put down the tablets, seized his brother by (the hair of) his head, and dragged him to him. Aaron said: "Son of my mother! the people did indeed reckon me as naught, and went near to slaying me! Make not the enemies rejoice over my misfortune, nor count thou me amongst the people of sin."
And when Moses returned to his people, angry and grieved, he said, "How wretched is that by which you have replaced me after [my departure]. Were you impatient over the matter of your Lord?" And he threw down the tablets and seized his brother by [the hair of] his head, pulling him toward him. [Aaron] said, "O son of my mother, indeed the people oppressed me and were about to kill me, so let not the enemies rejoice over me and do not place me among the wrongdoing people."
Als Musa zu seinem Volk zornig und bekümmert zurückkam, sagte er: "Wie schlimm ist das, was ihr nach mir an meiner Stelle begangen habt! Wollt ihr den Befehl eures Herrn beschleunigen?" Er warf die Tafeln hin und ergriff seinen Bruder beim Kopf, indem er ihn an sich zog. (Dieser) sagte: "Sohn meiner Mutter, das Volk unterdrückte mich und hätte mich beinahe getötet! So lasse nicht die Feinde über mich Schadenfreude empfinden und stelle mich nicht zum ungerechten Volk!"
Moses prayed: "O my Lord! forgive me and my brother! admit us to Thy mercy! for Thou art the Most Merciful of those who show mercy!"
[Moses] said, "My Lord, forgive me and my brother and admit us into Your mercy, for You are the most merciful of the merciful."
Er (Musa) sagte: "Mein Herr, vergib mir und meinem Bruder, und lasse uns in Deine Barmherzigkeit eingehen. Du bist ja der Barmherzigste der Barmherzigen."
Those who took the calf (for worship) will indeed be overwhelmed with wrath from their Lord, and with shame in this life: thus do We recompense those who invent (falsehoods).
Indeed, those who took the calf [for worship] will obtain anger from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors [of falsehood].
Gewiß, diejenigen, die sich das Kalb nahmen, wird Zorn von ihrem Herrn und Erniedrigung im diesseitigen Leben ereilen. So vergelten Wir denen, die Lügen ersinnen.
But those who do wrong but repent thereafter and (truly) believe, - verily thy Lord is thereafter Oft - Forgiving, Most Merciful.
But those who committed misdeeds and then repented after them and believed - indeed your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
Aber diejenigen, die böse Taten begehen und danach bereuen und glauben-, gewiß, dein Herr ist danach wahrlich Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
When the anger of Moses was appeased, he took up the tablets: in the writing thereon was guidance and Mercy for such as fear their Lord.
And when the anger subsided in Moses, he took up the tablets; and in their inscription was guidance and mercy for those who are fearful of their Lord.
Und als sich in Musa der Zorn beruhigt hatte, nahm er die Tafeln. In ihrer Schrift ist Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für die, die vor ihrem Herrn Ehrfurcht haben.
And Moses chose seventy of his people for Our place of meeting: when they were seized with violent quaking, he prayed: "O my Lord! if it had been Thy will Thou couldst have destroyed, long before, both them and me: wouldst Thou destroy us for the deeds of the foolish ones among us? this is no more than Thy trial: by it Thou causest whom Thou wilt to stray, and Thou leadest whom Thou wilt into the right path. Thou art our Protector: so forgive us and give us Thy mercy; for Thou art the best of those who forgive.
And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. And when the earthquake seized them, he said, "My Lord, if You had willed, You could have destroyed them before and me [as well]. Would You destroy us for what the foolish among us have done? This is not but Your trial by which You send astray whom You will and guide whom You will. You are our Protector, so forgive us and have mercy upon us; and You are the best of forgivers.
Und Musa wählte aus seinem Volk siebzig Männer zu Unserer festgesetzten Zeit. Als sie nun das Zittern ergriff, sagte er: "Mein Herr, wenn Du gewollt hättest, hättest Du sie schon zuvor vernichtet, und auch mich. Willst Du uns vernichten für das, was die Toren von uns getan haben? Es ist doch nur Deine Versuchung, mit der Du in die Irre gehen läßt, wen Du willst, und rechtleitest, wen Du willst. Du bist unser Schutzherr, so vergib uns und erbarme Dich unser! Du bist der Beste derer, die vergeben.
"And ordain for us that which is good, in this life and in the Hereafter: for we have turned unto Thee." He said: "With My punishment I visit whom I will; but My mercy extendeth to all things. That (mercy) I shall ordain for those who do right, and practise regular charity, and those who believe in Our signs; -
And decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the Hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to You." [Allah] said, "My punishment - I afflict with it whom I will, but My mercy encompasses all things." So I will decree it [especially] for those who fear Me and give zakah and those who believe in Our verses -
Und bestimme für uns in diesem Diesseits Gutes und auch im Jenseits! Gewiß, wir haben zu Dir zurückgefunden." Er sagte: "Mit Meiner Strafe treffe Ich, wen Ich will, aber Meine Barmherzigkeit umfaßt alles. Ich werde sie für die bestimmen, die gottesfürchtig sind und die Abgabe entrichten und die an Unsere Zeichen glauben,
"Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures), - in the law and the Gospel; - for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him, - it is they who will prosper."
Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the .
die dem Gesandten, dem schriftunkundigen Propheten, folgen, den sie bei sich in der Tora und im Evangelium aufgeschrieben finden. Er gebietet ihnen das Rechte und verbietet ihnen das Verwerfliche, er erlaubt ihnen die guten Dinge und verbietet ihnen die schlechten, und er nimmt ihnen ihre Bürde und die Fesseln ab, die auf ihnen lagen. Diejenigen nun, die an ihn glauben, ihm beistehen, ihm helfen und dem Licht, das mit ihm herabgesandt worden ist, folgen, das sind diejenigen, denen es wohl ergeht."
Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He That giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided."
Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.
Sag: O ihr Menschen, ich bin der Gesandte Allahs an euch alle, Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde gehört. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Er macht lebendig und läßt sterben. So glaubt an Allah und Seinen Gesandten, den schriftunkundigen Propheten, der an Allah und Seine Worte glaubt, und folgt ihm, auf daß ihr rechtgeleitet sein möget!
Of the people of Moses there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth.
And among the people of Moses is a community which guides by truth and by it establishes justice.
Und unter dem Volk Musas ist eine Gemeinschaft, die mit der Wahrheit rechtleitet und nach ihr gerecht handelt.
We divided them into twelve tribes or nations. We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water. We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls.
And We divided them into twelve descendant tribes [as distinct] nations. And We inspired to Moses when his people implored him for water, "Strike with your staff the stone," and there gushed forth from it twelve springs. Every people knew its watering place. And We shaded them with clouds and sent down upon them manna and quails, [saying], "Eat from the good things with which We have provided you." And they wronged Us not, but they were [only] wronging themselves.
Und Wir zerteilten sie in zwölf Stämme, in Gemeinschaften. Und Wir gaben Musa ein, als sein Volk ihn um Wasser bat: "Schlage mit deinem Stock auf den Felsen!" Da brachen aus ihm zwölf Quellen hervor. Nun wußte jedermann, wo sein Platz zum Trinken war. Und Wir ließen die Wolken sie überschatten und sandten das Manna und die Wachteln auf sie herab: "Eßt von den guten Dingen, mit denen Wir euch versorgt haben!" Und sie fügten nicht Uns Unrecht zu, sondern sich selbst fügten sie Unrecht zu.
And remember it was said to them: "Dwell in this town and eat therein as ye wish, but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility: We shall forgive you your faults; We shall increase (the portion of) those who do good."
And [mention, O Muhammad], when it was said to them, "Dwell in this city and eat from it wherever you will and say, 'Relieve us of our burdens,' and enter the gate bowing humbly; We will [then] forgive you your sins. We will increase the doers of good [in goodness and reward]."
Und als zu ihnen gesagt wurde: "Bewohnt diese Stadt und eßt von (dem, was in) ihr (ist), wo immer ihr wollt! und sagt: "Vergebung!" und tretet, euch niederwerfend, durch das Tor ein, so vergeben Wir euch eure Verfehlungen. Und Wir werden den Gutes Tuenden noch mehr erweisen.
But the transgressors among them changed the word from that which had been given them so we sent on them a plague from heaven. For that they repeatedly transgressed.
But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them. So We sent upon them a punishment from the sky for the wrong that they were doing.
Doch da tauschten diejenigen von ihnen, die Unrecht taten, das Wort gegen ein anderes aus, das ihnen nicht gesagt worden war. Und da sandten Wir auf sie eine unheilvolle Strafe vom Himmel hinab dafür, daß sie Unrecht zu tun pflegten.
Ask them concerning the town standing close by the sea. Behold! they transgressed in the matter of the Sabbath. For on the day of their Sabbath their fish did come to them, openly holding up their heads, but on the day they had no Sabbath, they came not: thus did We make a trial of them, for they were given to transgression.
And ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their sabbath day, and the day they had no sabbath they did not come to them. Thus did We give them trial because they were defiantly disobedient.
Und frag sie nach der Stadt, die am Meer lag, als sie den Sabbat übertraten, als ihre Fische zu ihnen an ihrem Sabbat sichtbar (geschwommen) kamen, aber an dem Tag, an dem sie nicht Sabbat hielten, nicht zu ihnen kamen. So prüfen Wir sie dafür, daß sie zu freveln pflegten.
When some of them said: "Why do ye preach to a people whom Allah will destroy or visit with a terrible punishment?" - said the preachers:" To discharge our duty to your Lord, and perchance they may fear Him."
And when a community among them said, "Why do you advise [or warn] a people whom Allah is [about] to destroy or to punish with a severe punishment?" they [the advisors] said, "To be absolved before your Lord and perhaps they may fear Him."
Und als eine Gemeinschaft von ihnen sagte: "Warum ermahnt ihr Leute, die Allah vernichten oder mit strenger Strafe strafen wird?", sagten sie: "Als eine Entschuldigung bei eurem Herrn und auf daß sie gottesfürchtig werden mögen."
When they disregarded the warnings that had been given them, We rescued those who forbade Evil; but We visited the wrong - doers with a grievous punishment because they were given to transgression.
And when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged, with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.
Und als sie vergessen hatten, womit sie ermahnt worden waren, retteten Wir diejenigen, die das Böse verboten, und ergriffen diejenigen, die Unrecht taten, mit schlimmer Strafe dafür, daß sie zu freveln pflegten.
When in their insolence they transgressed (all) prohibitions, We said to them: "Be ye apes, despised and rejected."
So when they were insolent about that which they had been forbidden, We said to them, "Be apes, despised."
Als sie dann das mißachteten, was ihnen verboten war, sagten Wir zu ihnen: "Werdet verstoßene Affen!"
Behold! thy Lord did declare that He would send against them, to the Day of Judgment, those who would afflict them with grievous penalty. Thy Lord is quick in retribution, but He is also Oft - forgiving, Most Merciful.
And [mention] when your Lord declared that He would surely [continue to] send upon them until the Day of Resurrection those who would afflict them with the worst torment. Indeed, your Lord is swift in penalty; but indeed, He is Forgiving and Merciful.
Und als dein Herr ankündigte, Er werde ganz gewiß gegen sie bis zum Tag der Auferstehung jemanden schicken, der ihnen eine böse Qual auferlegt. Dein Herr ist fürwahr schnell im Bestrafen, aber Er ist auch wahrlich Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
We broke them up into sections on this earth. There are among them some that are the righteous, and some that are the opposite. We have tried them with both prosperity and adversity: In order that they might turn (to us).
And We divided them throughout the earth into nations. Of them some were righteous, and of them some were otherwise. And We tested them with good [times] and bad that perhaps they would return [to obedience].
Und Wir zerteilten sie auf der Erde in Gemeinschaften. Unter ihnen gab es Rechtschaffene und solche, die dies nicht waren. Und Wir prüften sie mit Gutem und Bösem, auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
After them succeeded an (evil) generation: They inherited the Book, but they chose (for themselves) the vanities of this world, saying (for excuse): "(Everything) will be forgiven us." (Even so), if similar vanities came their way, they would (again) seize them. Was not the covenant of the Book taken from them, that they would not ascribe to Allah anything but the truth? and they study what is in the Book. But best for the righteous is the home in the Hereafter. Will ye not understand?
And there followed them successors who inherited the Scripture [while] taking the commodities of this lower life and saying, "It will be forgiven for us." And if an offer like it comes to them, they will [again] take it. Was not the covenant of the Scripture taken from them that they would not say about Allah except the truth, and they studied what was in it? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah, so will you not use reason?
Dann folgten nach ihnen Nachfolger, die die Schrift erbten. Sie greifen nach den Glücksgütern des Diesseitigen und sagen: "Es wird uns vergeben werden." Und wenn sich ihnen gleiche Glücksgüter bieten, greifen sie danach. Wurde nicht mit ihnen das Abkommen der Schrift getroffen, sie sollen über Allah nur die Wahrheit sagen? Sie haben doch das, was darin steht, erlernt. Und die jenseitige Wohnstätte ist besser für diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind. Begreift ihr denn nicht?
As to those who hold fast by the Book and establish regular prayer, - never shall We suffer the reward of the righteous to perish.
But those who hold fast to the Book and establish prayer - indeed, We will not allow to be lost the reward of the reformers.
Und diejenigen, die an der Schrift festhalten und das Gebet verrichten - gewiß, Wir lassen den Lohn der Heilstifter nicht verlorengehen.
When We shook the Mount over them, as if it had been a canopy, and they thought it was going to fall on them (We said): "Hold firmly to what We have given you, and bring (ever) to remembrance what is therein; perchance ye may fear Allah."
And [mention] when We raised the mountain above them as if it was a dark cloud and they were certain that it would fall upon them, [and Allah said], "Take what We have given you with determination and remember what is in it that you might fear Allah."
Und als Wir den Berg über sie heraushoben, als wäre er ein Schattendach, und sie glaubten, er würde auf sie fallen: "Haltet fest an dem, was Wir euch gegeben haben, und gedenkt dessen, was es enthält, auf daß ihr gottesfürchtig werden möget!"
When thy Lord drew forth from the Children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants, and made them testify concerning themselves, (saying): "Am I not your Lord (who cherishes and sustains you)?" - They said: "Yea! We do testify!" (This), lest ye should say on the Day of Judgment: "Of this we were never mindful":
And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware."
Und als dein Herr aus den Kindern Adams, aus ihren Rücken, ihre Nachkommenschaft nahm und sie gegen sich selbst zeugen ließ: "Bin Ich nicht euer Herr?" Sie sagten: "Doch, wir bezeugen (es)!" (Dies,) damit ihr nicht am Tag der Auferstehung sagt: "Wir waren dessen unachtsam",
Or lest ye should say: "Our fathers before us may have taken false gods, but we are (their) descendants after them: wilt Thou then destroy us because of the deeds of men who were futile?"
Or [lest] you say, "It was only that our fathers associated [others in worship] with Allah before, and we were but descendants after them. Then would You destroy us for what the falsifiers have done?"
oder (auch) nicht sagt: "Unsere Väter gesellten doch zuvor (Allah) Teilhaber zu, und wir sind (nur) eine Nachkommenschaft nach ihnen. Willst du uns vernichten für das, was diejenigen getan haben, die Nichtiges tun?"
Thus do We explain the signs in detail; and perchance they may turn (unto Us).
And thus do We [explain in] detail the verses, and perhaps they will return.
So legen Wir die Zeichen ausführlich dar, - auf daß sie umkehren mögen.
Relate to them the story of the man to whom We sent Our signs, but he passed them by: so Satan followed him up, and he went astray.
And recite to them, [O Muhammad], the news of him to whom we gave [knowledge of] Our signs, but he detached himself from them; so Satan pursued him, and he became of the deviators.
Und verlies ihnen die Kunde von dem, dem Wir Unsere Zeichen gaben und der sich dann ihrer entledigte. Da verfolgte ihn der Satan, und so wurde er einer der Verirrten.
If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog: if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may reflect.
And if We had willed, we could have elevated him thereby, but he adhered [instead] to the earth and followed his own desire. So his example is like that of the dog: if you chase him, he pants, or if you leave him, he [still] pants. That is the example of the people who denied Our signs. So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.
Und wenn Wir gewollt hätten, hätten Wir ihn durch sie fürwahr erhöht. Aber er neigte zur Erde hin und folgte seiner Neigung. So ist sein Gleichnis das eines Hundes: Wenn du auf ihn losgehst, hechelt er; läßt du ihn (in Ruhe), hechelt er (auch). So ist das Gleichnis der Leute, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten. Berichte die Geschichte, auf daß sie nachdenken mögen.
Evil as an example are people who reject Our signs and wrong their own souls.
How evil an example [is that of] the people who denied Our signs and used to wrong themselves.
Wie böse ist das Gleichnis der Leute, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklärten und sich selbst Unrecht zu tun pflegten!
Whom Allah doth guide, - he is on the right path: whom He rejects from His guidance, - such are the persons who perish.
Whoever Allah guides - he is the [rightly] guided; and whoever He sends astray - it is those who are the losers.
Wen Allah rechtleitet, der ist (in Wahrheit) rechtgeleitet. Wen Er aber in die Irre gehen läßt, das sind die Verlierer.
Many are the Jinns and men we have made for Hell: They have hearts wherewith they understand not, eyes wherewith they see not, and ears wherewith they hear not. They are like cattle, - nay more misguided: for they are heedless (of warning).
And We have certainly created for Hell many of the jinn and mankind. They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see, and they have ears with which they do not hear. Those are like livestock; rather, they are more astray. It is they who are the heedless.
Wir haben ja schon viele von den Ginn und den Menschen für die Hölle erschaffen. Sie haben Herzen, mit denen sie nicht verstehen; sie haben Augen, mit denen sie nicht sehen; und sie haben Ohren, mit denen sie nicht hören. Jene sind wie das Vieh. Aber nein! Sie irren noch weiter ab. Jene sind (überhaupt) die Unachtsamen.
The most beautiful names belong to Allah: so call on him by them; but shun such men as use profanity in his names: for what they do, they will soon be requited.
And to Allah belong the best names, so invoke Him by them. And leave [the company of] those who practice deviation concerning His names. They will be recompensed for what they have been doing.
Allahs sind die schönsten Namen; so ruft Ihn damit an und laßt diejenigen, die mit Seinen Namen abwegig umgehen. Ihnen wird das vergolten, was sie zu tun pflegten.
Of those We have created are people who direct (others) with truth. And dispense justice therewith.
And among those We created is a community which guides by truth and thereby establishes justice.
Und unter denjenigen, die Wir erschaffen haben, gibt es eine Gemeinschaft, die mit der Wahrheit rechtleitet und nach ihr gerecht handelt.
Those who reject Our signs, We shall gradually visit with punishment, in ways they perceive not;
But those who deny Our signs - We will progressively lead them [to destruction] from where they do not know.
Diejenigen aber, die Unsere Zeichen für Lüge erklären, werden Wir stufenweise (dem Verderben) näherbringen, von wo sie nicht wissen.
Respite will I grant unto them: for My scheme is strong (and unfailing).
And I will give them time. Indeed, my plan is firm.
Und Ich gewähre ihnen Aufschub. Gewiß, Meine List ist fest.
Do they not reflect? Their companion is not seized with madness: he is but a perspicuous warner.
Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [Muhammad] no madness. He is not but a clear warner.
Denken sie denn nicht (darüber) nach? Ihr Gefährte leidet nicht an Besessenheit; er ist nur ein deutlicher Warner.
Do they see nothing in the government of the heavens and the earth and all that Allah hath created? (Do they not see) that it may well be that their terms is nigh drawing to an end? In what message after this will they then believe?
Do they not look into the realm of the heavens and the earth and everything that Allah has created and [think] that perhaps their appointed time has come near? So in what statement hereafter will they believe?
Haben sie sich denn nicht im Reich der Himmel und der Erde umgeschaut und was Allah an Dingen erschaffen hat und, daß ihre Frist vielleicht nahegerückt ist? An welche Aussage nach dieser wollen sie denn (sonst) glauben?
To such as Allah rejects from His guidance, there can be no guide: He will leave them in their trespasses, wandering in distraction.
Whoever Allah sends astray - there is no guide for him. And He leaves them in their transgression, wandering blindly.
Wen Allah in die Irre gehen läßt, der hat keinen, der ihn rechtleiten könnte; Er läßt sie in ihrer Auflehnung umherirren.
They ask thee about the (final) Hour - when will be its appointed time? Say: "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord (alone): None but He can reveal as to when it will occur. Heavy were its burden through the heavens and the earth. Only, all of a sudden will it come to you." They ask thee as if thou Wert eager in search thereof: Say: "The knowledge thereof is with Allah (alone), but most men know not."
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival? Say, "Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not come upon you except unexpectedly." They ask you as if you are familiar with it. Say, "Its knowledge is only with Allah, but most of the people do not know."
Sie fragen dich nach der Stunde, für wann sie feststeht. Sag: Das Wissen darüber ist nur bei meinem Herrn. Nur Er wird sie zu ihrer Zeit erscheinen lassen. Schwer lastet sie in den Himmeln und auf der Erde. Sie wird nur plötzlich über euch kommen. Sie fragen dich, als ob du gut unterrichtet über sie seiest. Sag: Das Wissen darüber ist nur bei Allah. Aber die meisten Menschen wissen nicht.
Say: "I have no power over any good or harm to myself except as Allah willeth. If I had knowledge of the unseen, I should have multiplied all good, and no evil should have touched me: I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to those who have faith."
Say, "I hold not for myself [the power of] benefit or harm, except what Allah has willed. And if I knew the unseen, I could have acquired much wealth, and no harm would have touched me. I am not except a warner and a bringer of good tidings to a people who believe."
Sag: Ich vermag mir selbst weder Nutzen noch Schaden (zu bringen), außer was Allah will. Wenn ich das Verborgene wüßte, würde ich mir wahrlich viel Gutes verschaffen, und Böses würde mir nicht widerfahren. Ich bin nur ein Warner und ein Frohbote für Leute, die glauben.
It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her (in love). When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, (saying): "If Thou givest us a goodly child, we vow we shall (ever) be grateful."
It is He who created you from one soul and created from it its mate that he might dwell in security with her. And when he covers her, she carries a light burden and continues therein. And when it becomes heavy, they both invoke Allah, their Lord, "If You should give us a good [child], we will surely be among the grateful."
Er ist es, Der euch aus einem einzigen Wesen schuf, und Er hat aus ihm seine Gattin gemacht, damit er (der Mann) bei ihr Ruhe finde. Und als er über sie kam', trug sie an einer leichten Schwangerschaft und verbrachte damit (eine Zeit). Als sie dann schwer zu tragen hatte, riefen die beiden Allah, ihren Herrn, an: "Wenn Du uns einen Rechtschaffenen gibst, werden wir ganz gewiß zu den Dankbaren gehören."
But when He giveth them a goodly child, they ascribe to others a share in the gift they have received: but Allah is exalted high above the partners they ascribe to Him.
But when He gives them a good [child], they ascribe partners to Him concerning that which He has given them. Exalted is Allah above what they associate with Him.
Als Er ihnen dann einen Rechtschaffenen gegeben hatte, gaben sie Ihm Teilhaber an dem, was Er ihnen gegeben hatte. Aber Allah ist Erhaben über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Do they indeed ascribe to Him as partners things that can create nothing, but are themselves created?
Do they associate with Him those who create nothing and they are [themselves] created?
Wollen sie (Ihm etwas) beigesellen, was nichts erschafft, während sie selbst erschaffen wurden,
No aid can they give them, nor can they aid themselves!
And the false deities are unable to [give] them help, nor can they help themselves.
und die ihnen keine Hilfe leisten, noch sich selbst helfen können?
If ye call them to guidance, they will not obey: For you it is the same whether ye call them or ye hold your peace!
And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.
Und wenn ihr sie zur Rechtleitung aufruft, folgen sie euch nicht. Gleich ist es in Bezug auf euch, ob ihr sie aufruft oder ob ihr schweigt.
Verily those whom ye call upon besides Allah are servants like unto you: Call upon them, and let them listen to your prayer, if ye are (indeed) truthful!
Indeed, those you [polytheists] call upon besides Allah are servants like you. So call upon them and let them respond to you, if you should be truthful.
Gewiß, diejenigen, die ihr anstatt Allahs anruft, sind (nur) Diener gleich euch. So ruft sie (doch) an, und so sollen sie euch doch erhören, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid!
Have they feet to walk with? Or hands to lay hold with? Or eyes to see with? Or ears to hear with? Say: "Call your 'god - partners', scheme (your worst) against me, and give me no respite!
Do they have feet by which they walk? Or do they have hands by which they strike? Or do they have eyes by which they see? Or do they have ears by which they hear? Say, [O Muhammad], "Call your 'partners' and then conspire against me and give me no respite.
Haben sie (etwa) Füße, mit denen sie gehen, oder haben sie Hände, mit denen sie zupacken, oder haben sie Augen, mit denen sie sehen, oder haben sie Ohren, mit denen sie hören? Sag: Ruft eure Teilhaber an, und hierauf schmiedet eure List gegen mich an und gewährt mir keinen Aufschub.
"For my Protector is Allah, Who revealed the Book (from time to time), and He will choose and befriend the righteous.
Indeed, my protector is Allah, who has sent down the Book; and He is an ally to the righteous.
Mein Schutzherr ist Allah, Der das Buch offenbart hat, und Er macht Sich zum Schutzherrn der Rechtschaffenen.
"But those ye call upon besides Him, are unable to help you, and indeed to help themselves."
And those you call upon besides Him are unable to help you, nor can they help themselves."
Diejenigen, die ihr außer Ihm anruft, können euch keine Hilfe leisten, noch sich selbst helfen.
If thou callest them to guidance, they hear not. Thou wilt see them looking at thee, but they see not.
And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking at you while they do not see.
Und wenn ihr sie zur Rechtleitung aufruft, hören sie nicht; du siehst sie dich anschauen, doch sie sehen nicht.
Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the ignorant.
Take what is given freely, enjoin what is good, and turn away from the ignorant.
Nimm den Überschuß, gebiete das allgemein Gute und wende dich von den Toren ab!
If a suggestion from Satan assail thy (mind), seek refuge with Allah; for He heareth and knoweth (all things).
And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing.
Und wenn dich vom Satan eine Eingebung aufstachelt, dann suche Schutz bei Allah, denn Er ist ja Allhörend und Allwissend.
Those who fear Allah, when a thought of evil from Satan assaults them, bring Allah to remembrance, when lo! they see (aright)!
Indeed, those who fear Allah - when an impulse touches them from Satan, they remember [Him] and at once they have insight.
Diejenigen, die gottesfürchtig sind, - wenn ihnen eine Anwandlung vom Satan widerfährt, bedenken sie, und da werden sie sogleich einsichtig.
But their brethren (the evil ones) plunge them deeper into error, and never relax (their efforts).
But their brothers - the devils increase them in error; then they do not stop short.
Aber ihre Brüder lassen sie in ihrer Verirrung gewähren, und dann lassen sie (daran) nicht nach.
If thou bring them not a revelation, they say: "Why hast thou not got it together?" Say: "I but follow what is revealed to me from my Lord: this is (nothing but) lights from your Lord, and Guidance, and mercy, for any who have faith."
And when you, [O Muhammad], do not bring them a sign, they say, "Why have you not contrived it?" Say, "I only follow what is revealed to me from my Lord. This [Qur'an] is enlightenment from your Lord and guidance and mercy for a people who believe."
Und wenn du ihnen kein Zeichen bringst, sagen sie: "Hättest du es dir doch (selbst) ausgesucht!" Sag: Ich folge nur dem, was mir von meinem Herrn (als Offenbarung) eingegeben wird. Dies sind einsichtbringende Zeichen von eurem Herrn und Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für Leute, die glauben.
When the Qur'an is read, listen to it with attention, and hold your peace: that ye may receive Mercy.
So when the Qur'an is recited, then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.
Und wenn der Qur'an vorgetragen wird, dann hört ihm zu und horcht hin, auf daß ihr Erbarmen finden möget!
And do thou (O reader!) Bring thy Lord to remembrance in thy (very) soul, with humility and in reverence, without loudness in words, in the mornings and evenings; and be not thou of those who are unheedful.
And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and in fear without being apparent in speech - in the mornings and the evenings. And do not be among the heedless.
Und gedenke deines Herrn in deiner Seele in Unterwürfigkeit flehend und in Furcht und mit leiser Stimme, am Morgen und am Abend. Und gehöre nicht zu den Unachtsamen!
Those who are near to thy Lord, disdain not to do Him worship: They celebrate His praises, and prostrate before Him.
Indeed, those who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and they exalt Him, and to Him they prostrate.
Diejenigen, die bei deinem Herrn sind, sind nicht zu hochmütig dazu, Ihm zu dienen; sie preisen Ihn und werfen sich vor Ihm nieder.
