editgeziemen (weak, third-person singular present geziemt, past tense geziemte, past participle geziemt, auxiliary haben)
- (dated, chiefly reflexive) to beseem, to be appropriate
- Synonym: gebühren
- 1901, Max Henning, Der Koran, 19:88-92 (with Yusuf Ali's translation)
- Und sie sprechen: »Gezeugt hat der Erbarmer einen Sohn.« Wahrlich, ihr behauptet ein ungeheuerlich Ding. Fast möchten die Himmel darob zerreißen, und die Erde möchte sich spalten, und es möchten die Berge stürzen in Trümmer, daß sie dem Erbarmer einen Sohn beilegen, dem es nicht geziemt, einen Sohn zu zeugen.
- They say: "(God) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin, that they should invoke a son for (God) Most Gracious. For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.
