Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
When the sky has split [open]
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is spread out
And when the earth has been extended
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
He will be judged with an easy account
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And return to his people in happiness.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He surely will invoke destruction
He will cry out for destruction
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And be thrown to scorching fire.
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
So I swear by the twilight glow
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
And [by] the night and what it envelops
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when she is at the full,
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
