Chapter 85, 22 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven, holding mansions of the stars,
By the sky, (displaying) the Zodiacal Signs;
Beim Himmel mit den Türmen
And by the Promised Day.
By the promised Day (of Judgment);
und dem versprochenen Tag
And by the witness and that whereunto he beareth testimony,
By one that witnesses, and the subject of the witness; -
und dem Zeugen und dem Bezeugten!
(Self - )destroyed were the owners of the ditch
Woe to the makers of the pit (of fire),
Tod (sei) geweiht den Leuten des Grabens,
Of the fuel - fed fire,
Fire supplied (abundantly) with fuel:
des Feuers mit dem (vielen) Brennstoff,
When they sat by it,
Behold! they sat over against the (fire),
als sie daran saßen
And were themselves the witnesses of what they did to the believers.
And they witnessed (all) that they were doing against the Believers.
und Zeugen dessen waren, was sie den Gläubigen antaten.
They had naught against them save that they believed in Allah, the Mighty, the Owner of Praise,
And they ill - treated them for no other reason than that they believed in Allah, Exalted in Power, Worthy of all Praise! -
Und sie grollten ihnen nur, daß sie an Allah glaubten, den Allmächtigen und Lobenswürdigen,
Him unto Whom belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and Allah is of all things the Witness.
Him to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth! And Allah is Witness to all things.
Dem die Herrschaft der Himmel und der Erde gehört. Und Allah ist über alles Zeuge.
Lo! they who persecute believing men and believing women and repent not, theirs verily will be the doom of hell, and theirs the doom of burning.

Gewiß, diejenigen, die die gläubigen Männer und die gläubigen Frauen in Versuchung bringen und hierauf nicht in Reue umkehren, für sie wird es die Strafe der Hölle geben, und für sie wird es die Strafe des Brennens geben.
Lo! those who believe and do good works, theirs will be Gardens underneath which rivers flow. That is the Great Success.
For those who believe and do righteous deeds, will be Gardens; beneath which rivers flow: That is the great Salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires),
Gewiß, diejenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun, für sie wird es Gärten geben, durcheilt von Bächen; das ist der große Erfolg.
Lo! the punishment of thy Lord is stern.
Truly strong is the Grip (and Power) of thy Lord.
Das Zupacken deines Herrn ist wahrlich hart.
Lo! He it is Who produceth, then reproduceth,
It is He Who creates from the very beginning, and He can restore (life).
Gewiß, Er macht den Anfang und läßt wiederkehren.
And He is the Forgiving, the Loving,
And He is the Oft - Forgiving, Full of Loving - Kindness,
Und Er ist der Allvergebende und Liebevolle,
Lord of the Throne of Glory,
Lord of the Throne of Glory,
der Herr des Thrones, der Ruhmvolle.
Doer of what He will.
Doer (without let) of all that He intends.
(Er) tut alles, was Er will.
Hath there come unto thee the story of the hosts

Of Pharaoh and (the tribe of) Thamud ?
Of Pharaoh and the Thamud?
Fir'auns und der Tamud?
Nay, but those who disbelieve live in denial

But Allah doth encompass them from behind!
Doch Allah ist hinter ihnen her, (sie) umfassend.
Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an.
Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,
Nein! Vielmehr ist es ein ruhmvoller Qur'an
