إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
And the hills are ground to powder
And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
und die Berge völlig zermalmt werden
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
Hierauf werdet ihr ja, ihr irregehenden Leugner,

Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
Wir doch haben euch erschaffen; wenn ihr (es) doch für wahr halten würdet!
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
Have ye seen that which ye emit ?
Have you seen that which you emit?
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr als Samen ausspritzt?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
Seid ihr es etwa, die ihn erschaffen oder sind nicht doch Wir die Erschaffer?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ
We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
Wir doch haben unter euch den Tod festgelegt. Und niemand kann Uns zuvorkommen,
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.
daß Wir (nicht) euresgleichen (gegen euch) austauschen und euch (in einem Zustand wieder)entstehen lassen, den ihr nicht kennt.
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
Und ihr kennt doch die erste Schöpfung. Wenn ihr doch bedenken würdet!
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr an Saatfeldern bestellt?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
Seid ihr es etwa, die es wachsen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die wachsen lassen?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es wahrlich zu zermalmtem Zeug machen, und ihr würdet dann dauernd verwundert darüber reden:
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
Lo! we are laden with debt!
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
"Wir sind wahrlich mit Schulden belastet.
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Nay, but we are deprived!
Rather, we have been deprived."
Nein! Vielmehr ist uns alles verwehrt worden."
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?
And have you seen the water that you drink?
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Wasser, das ihr trinkt?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
Seid ihr es etwa, die es von den Wolken herabkommen lassen, oder sind doch nicht Wir es, die herabkommen lassen?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es (auf der Zunge) brennend machen. Wenn ihr doch dankbar sein würdet!
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Feuer, das ihr (durch Reiben) zündet?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
Seid ihr es etwa, die den dazu nötigen Baum entstehen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die entstehen lassen?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.
We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
Wir haben es ja zur Erinnerung (an das Höllenfeuer) und als Nießbrauch für die Wanderer gemacht.
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den Standorten der Sterne
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
- und das ist wahrlich, wenn ihr (nur) wüßtet, ein gewaltiger Schwur:
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
Das ist wahrlich ein ehrwürdiger Qur'an
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
In a Book kept hidden
In a Register well - protected;
in einem wohlverwahrten Buch,
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
Which none toucheth save the purified,
None touch it except the purified.
das nur diejenigen berühren (dürfen), die vollkommen gereinigt sind;
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
(er ist) eine Offenbarung vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
Wollt ihr denn über diese Aussage nur schön reden
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
And make denial thereof your livelihood ?
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
und (als Dankbarkeit) für eure Versorgung soll euer Ableugnen sein?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
Wenn sie die Kehle erreicht,
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
And ye are at that moment looking
And you are at that time looking on -
während ihr dabei zuschaut
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
und Wir ihm näher sind als ihr - aber ihr könnt es nicht sehen -,
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
könntet ihr dann, wenn ihr doch nicht vor Gericht gestellt werden sollt (, wie ihr behauptet),
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
sie zurückbringen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
Wenn er nun zu den (Allah) Nahegestellten gehört,
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
dann (wird es für ihn) Ruhe, duftende Pflanzen und einen Garten der Wonne (geben).
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
And if he is of those on the right hand,
And if he was of the companions of the right,
Und wenn er nun zu den Gefährten der rechten Seite gehört,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
so: Friede sei dir von den Gefährten der rechten Seite.
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
Then the welcome will be boiling water
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
And roasting at hell - fire.
And burning in Hellfire
und das Erleiden des Höllenbrandes.
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Lo! this is certain truth.
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
Dies ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
