I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
Chapter 79, 46 verses
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والنازعات غرقا
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those [angels] who extract with violence
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
والناشطات نشطا
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And [by] those who remove with ease
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
And by those who float in space,
والسابحات سبحا
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
فالسابقات سبقا
den allem Vorauseilenden,
And those who race each other in a race
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
Then those who regulate the affair.
فالمدبرات أمرا
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
And those who arrange [each] matter,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
يوم ترجف الراجفة
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
تتبعها الرادفة
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
قلوب يومئذ واجفة
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
Their eyes cast down.
أبصارها خاشعة
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
Their eyes humbled.
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
يقولون أإنا لمردودون في الحافرة
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
What! when we are rotten bones?
أإذا كنا عظاما نخرة
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
Even if we should be decayed bones?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
قالوا تلك إذا كرة خاسرة
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
But it shall be only a single cry,
فإنما هي زجرة واحدة
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
فإذا هم بالساهرة
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
هل أتاك حديث موسى
Ist zu dir die Geschichte Musas gekommen?
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
إذ ناداه ربه بالواد المقدس طوى
Als sein Herr ihn im geheiligten Tal Tuwa rief:
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
اذهب إلى فرعون إنه طغى
"Geh zu Fir'aun, denn gewiß, er überschreitet das Maß (an Frevel).
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
فقل هل لك إلى أن تزكى
Dann sag: Hast du (nicht) den Wunsch, dich zu läutern,
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
وأهديك إلى ربك فتخشى
und daß ich dich zu deinem Herrn rechtleite, so daß du gottesfürchtig wirst?"
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
So he showed him the mighty sign.
فأراه الآية الكبرى
Da zeigte er ihm das größte Zeichen.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.
فكذب وعصى
Er aber erklärte (es) für Lüge und widersetzte sich.
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Then he went back hastily.
ثم أدبر يسعى
Hierauf kehrte er den Rücken und ging eilig weg'.
Then he turned his back, striving.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
فحشر فنادى
Da versammelte er (das Volk) und rief dann aus.
And he gathered [his people] and called out
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
فقال أنا ربكم الأعلى
Er sagte: "Ich bin euer höchster Herr."
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
فأخذه الله نكال الآخرة والأولى
Da ergriff Allah ihn als warnendes Beispiel für das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
إن في ذلك لعبرة لمن يخشى
Darin ist wahrlich eine Lehre für jemanden, der gottesfürchtig ist.
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it.
أأنتم أشد خلقا أم السماء ۚ بناها
Seid etwa ihr schwerer zu erschaffen oder der Himmel? - Er hat ihn aufgebaut.
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state.
رفع سمكها فسواها
Er hat seinen höchsten Teil emporgehoben und ihn dann zurechtgeformt.
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
And He made dark its night and brought out its light.
وأغطش ليلها وأخرج ضحاها
Und Er hat seine Nacht finster gemacht und seine Morgenhelle hervorkommen lassen.
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
والأرض بعد ذلك دحاها
Und die Erde, Er hat sie danach hingebreitet.
And after that He spread the earth.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
He brought forth from it its water and its pasturage.
أخرج منها ماءها ومرعاها
Er hat aus ihr ihr Wasser und ihre Weide hervorkommen lassen.
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
And the mountains, He made them firm,
والجبال أرساها
Und die Berge, Er hat sie fest gegründet.
And the mountains He set firmly
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
A provision for you and for your cattle.
متاعا لكم ولأنعامكم
(Dies) als Nießbrauch für euch und für euer Vieh.
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
فإذا جاءت الطامة الكبرى
Wenn dann der größte, überwältigende Umsturz kommt,
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
يوم يتذكر الإنسان ما سعى
am Tag, da der Mensch das bedenkt, worum er sich bemüht hat,
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees
وبرزت الجحيم لمن يرى
und zum Erscheinen gebracht wird der Höllenbrand für (je)den, der sieht;
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
Then as for him who is inordinate,
فأما من طغى
was den (denjenigen) angeht, wer das Maß (an Frevel) überschritten
So as for he who transgressed
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
And prefers the life of this world,
وآثر الحياة الدنيا
und das diesseitige Leben vorgezogen hat,
And preferred the life of the world,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
فإن الجحيم هي المأوى
gewiß, so wird der Höllenbrand (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,
وأما من خاف مقام ربه ونهى النفس عن الهوى
Was aber jemanden angeht, der den Stand seines Herrn gefürchtet und seiner Seele die (bösen) Neigungen untersagt hat,
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.
فإن الجنة هي المأوى
so wird der (Paradies)garten (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
يسألونك عن الساعة أيان مرساها
Sie fragen dich nach der Stunde, wann sie bloß feststehen wird.
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
About what! You are one to remind of it.
فيم أنت من ذكراها
Was hast du über sie zu erwähnen?
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
To your Lord is the goal of it.
إلى ربك منتهاها
Zu deinem Herrn ist ihr Endziel.
To your Lord is its finality.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
You are only a warner to him who would fear it.
إنما أنت منذر من يخشاها
Du bist nur ein Überbringer von Warnungen für jemanden, der sie fürchtet.
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
كأنهم يوم يرونها لم يلبثوا إلا عشية أو ضحاها
Am Tag, da sie sie sehen, wird ihnen sein, als hätten sie nur einen Nachmittag verweilt oder seinen (dazugehörigen) Vormittag
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.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
