Chapter 83, 36 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
Woe to the defrauders,
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
Unto an Awful Day,
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
For a mighty day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.

كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
A written record.
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.

كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ

Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ

Hierauf wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet."
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?

Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And wink one to another when they passed them;
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.

Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
