Chapter 79, 46 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
By those [angels] who extract with violence
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
By the meteors rushing,
And [by] those who remove with ease
und den leicht Herausziehenden
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
By the lone stars floating,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
By the angels hastening,
And those who race each other in a race
den allem Vorauseilenden,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
And those who govern the event,
And those who arrange [each] matter,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
And the second followeth it,
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
On that day hearts beat painfully
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
While eyes are downcast
Their eyes humbled.
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Surely it will need but one shout,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
And lo! they will be awakened.
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
Ist zu dir die Geschichte Musas gekommen?
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
Als sein Herr ihn im geheiligten Tal Tuwa rief:
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
"Geh zu Fir'aun, denn gewiß, er überschreitet das Maß (an Frevel).
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
Dann sag: Hast du (nicht) den Wunsch, dich zu läutern,
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
und daß ich dich zu deinem Herrn rechtleite, so daß du gottesfürchtig wirst?"
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
And he showed him the tremendous token.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
Da zeigte er ihm das größte Zeichen.
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But he denied and disobeyed,
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
Er aber erklärte (es) für Lüge und widersetzte sich.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Then turned he away in haste,
Then he turned his back, striving.
Hierauf kehrte er den Rücken und ging eilig weg'.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Then gathered he and summoned
And he gathered [his people] and called out
Da versammelte er (das Volk) und rief dann aus.
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
Er sagte: "Ich bin euer höchster Herr."
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
Da ergriff Allah ihn als warnendes Beispiel für das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
Darin ist wahrlich eine Lehre für jemanden, der gottesfürchtig ist.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
Seid etwa ihr schwerer zu erschaffen oder der Himmel? - Er hat ihn aufgebaut.
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
Er hat seinen höchsten Teil emporgehoben und ihn dann zurechtgeformt.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
Und Er hat seine Nacht finster gemacht und seine Morgenhelle hervorkommen lassen.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
And after that He spread the earth,
And after that He spread the earth.
Und die Erde, Er hat sie danach hingebreitet.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
Er hat aus ihr ihr Wasser und ihre Weide hervorkommen lassen.
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
And He made fast the hills,
And the mountains He set firmly
Und die Berge, Er hat sie fest gegründet.
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
A provision for you and for your cattle.
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
(Dies) als Nießbrauch für euch und für euer Vieh.
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
But when the great disaster cometh,
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
Wenn dann der größte, überwältigende Umsturz kommt,
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
am Tag, da der Mensch das bedenkt, worum er sich bemüht hat,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
und zum Erscheinen gebracht wird der Höllenbrand für (je)den, der sieht;
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
Then, as for him who rebelled
So as for he who transgressed
was den (denjenigen) angeht, wer das Maß (an Frevel) überschritten
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
And chose the life of the world,
And preferred the life of the world,
und das diesseitige Leben vorgezogen hat,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Lo! hell will be his home.
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
gewiß, so wird der Höllenbrand (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der den Stand seines Herrn gefürchtet und seiner Seele die (bösen) Neigungen untersagt hat,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
Lo! the Garden will be his home.
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
so wird der (Paradies)garten (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
Sie fragen dich nach der Stunde, wann sie bloß feststehen wird.
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
Was hast du über sie zu erwähnen?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.
To your Lord is its finality.
Zu deinem Herrn ist ihr Endziel.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
Du bist nur ein Überbringer von Warnungen für jemanden, der sie fürchtet.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
Am Tag, da sie sie sehen, wird ihnen sein, als hätten sie nur einen Nachmittag verweilt oder seinen (dazugehörigen) Vormittag
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
