Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
Unto an Awful Day,
Liyawmin AAatheemin
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
On a Mighty Day,
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -

Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
A written record.
Kitabun marqoomun
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
Woe, that Day, to those that deny -
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Kalla bal rana AAala quloobihim ma kanoo yaksiboona
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Kalla innahum AAan rabbihim yawmaithin lamahjooboona
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Hierauf wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet."
Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Frommen ist wahrlich in 'Illiyyin.
Nay, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?
And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?
A written record,
Kitabun marqoomun
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen,
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
Yashhaduhu almuqarraboona
in das die (Allah) Nahegestellten Einsicht nehmen.
To which bear witness those Nearest (to Allah).
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
Inna alabrara lafee naAAeemin
Die Frommen werden wahrlich in Wonne sein,
Truly the Righteous will be in Bliss:
On couches, gazing,
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On Thrones (of Dignity) will they command a sight (of all things):
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
Du erkennst in ihren Gesichtern das Strahlen der Wonne.
Thou wilt recognise in their faces the beaming brightness of Bliss.
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
Ihnen wird von versiegeltem Nektar zu trinken gegeben,
Their thirst will be slaked with Pure Wine sealed:
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
The seal thereof will be Musk: And for this let those aspire, who have aspirations:
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
und dessen Beimischung Tasnim ist,
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.

Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Inna allatheena ajramoo kanoo mina allatheena amanoo yadhakoona
Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
And wink one to another when they passed them;
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
Und, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückkehrten, kehrten sie zurück, indem sie es sich wohl sein ließen.
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
On high couches, gazing.
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On Thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
Sind die Ungläubigen nicht doch belohnt worden für das, was sie zu tun pflegten?
Will not the Unbelievers have been paid back for what they did?
