أيحسب الإنسان ألن نجمع عظامه
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß Wir seine Knochen nicht zusammenfügen werden?
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?

أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
بلى قادرين على أن نسوي بنانه

يسأل أيان يوم القيامة
Er fragt: "Wann wird bloß der Tag der Auferstehung sein?"
He asks: When is the day of resurrection?

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
فإذا برق البصر
Wenn dann der Blick verwirrt ist

At length, when the sight is dazed,
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
وخسف القمر

And the moon becomes dark,
And the moon is buried in darkness.
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
وجمع الشمس والقمر
und Sonne und Mond zusammengebracht werden,
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
And the sun and moon are joined together, -
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
يقول الإنسان يومئذ أين المفر
wird der Mensch an jenem Tag sagen: "Wohin soll die Flucht sein?"
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?

كلا لا وزر

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
بل الإنسان على نفسه بصيرة
Aber nein! Der Mensch wird bezüglich seiner selbst durchblicken,
Nay! man is evidence against himself,
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
ولو ألقى معاذيره
auch wenn er seine Entschuldigungen vorbrächte .
Though he puts forth his excuses.

إن علينا جمعه وقرآنه
Uns obliegt es, ihn zusammenzustellen und ihn vorlesen zu lassen.
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

فإذا قرأناه فاتبع قرآنه
Und (erst) wenn Wir ihn vorgelesen haben, dann folge du der Art seines Vortragens".
Therefore when We have recited it, follow its recitation.

ثم إن علينا بيانه
Hierauf obliegt es Uns, ihn klar darzulegen.
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
كلا بل تحبون العاجلة
Keineswegs! Vielmehr liebt ihr das schnell Eintreffende,
Nay! But you love the present life,
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
وتذرون الآخرة
und laßt das Jenseits (außer acht).
And neglect the hereafter.
And leave alone the Hereafter.
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
وجوه يومئذ ناضرة
(Die einen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag strahlen,
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,

إلى ربها ناظرة
zu ihrem Herrn schauen.
Looking to their Lord.
Looking towards their Lord;
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
ووجوه يومئذ باسرة

And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرة
die meinen, es würde ihnen das Rückgrat gebrochen.
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
كلا إذا بلغت التراقي
Keineswegs! Wenn sie das Schlüsselbein erreicht
Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
وقيل من ۜ راق
und gesagt wird: "Wer ist ein Zauberer (, der ihn retten kann)?",
And it is said: Who will be a magician?

وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
وظن أنه الفراق
und wenn er meint, daß es (jetzt) die Trennung sei,
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
والتفت الساق بالساق
und wenn (bei ihm) sich das eine Bein um das andere legt,
And affliction is combined with affliction;
And one leg will be joined with another:
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
إلى ربك يومئذ المساق
zu deinem Herrn wird an jenem Tag das Treiben sein.
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
فلا صدق ولا صلى
Doch hielt er nicht (die Botschaft) für wahr noch betete er,
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
ولكن كذب وتولى
sondern er erklärte (sie) für Lüge, und er kehrte sich ab.
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى
Hierauf ging er zu seinen Angehörigen, stolzierend.
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
أولى لك فأولى
- "Wehe dir, ja wehe!
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
ثم أولى لك فأولى
Abermals: Wehe dir, ja wehe!"
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
أيحسب الإنسان أن يترك سدى
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß er außer acht gelassen wird?
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى
Ist er nicht ein Tropfen von Samenflüssigkeit, die ausgespritzt wird,
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى
hierauf ein Anhängsel gewesen? Da hat Er erschaffen und zurechtgeformt
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
فجعل منه الزوجين الذكر والأنثى
und dann daraus beide Teile des Paares gemacht, das Männliche und das Weibliche.
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيي الموتى
Hat dieser (Gott) nicht die Macht, die Toten wieder lebendig zu machen?
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
