وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]

und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And return to his people in happiness.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,

فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ

und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
But those who have disbelieved deny,
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ

Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
