Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
Itha alssamao inshaqqat

And attentive to her Lord in fear,
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,

And when the earth is spread out
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is flattened out,
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat

And attentive to her Lord in fear!
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.

He truly will receive an easy reckoning
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,

But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
He surely will invoke destruction

And be thrown to scorching fire.

Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi

And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,

The Night and its Homing;
And by the moon when she is at the full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And the Moon in her fullness:
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.

Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona

So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
