Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to the defrauders,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
For a mighty day,
Unto an Awful Day,
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
It is a written book.
A written record.
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Hierauf wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet."
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Frommen ist wahrlich in 'Illiyyin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
It is a written book,
A written record,
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen,
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
in das die (Allah) Nahegestellten Einsicht nehmen.
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
Die Frommen werden wahrlich in Wonne sein,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
On thrones, they shall gaze;
On couches, gazing,
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
Du erkennst in ihren Gesichtern das Strahlen der Wonne.
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
Ihnen wird von versiegeltem Nektar zu trinken gegeben,
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
und dessen Beimischung Tasnim ist,
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
aus einer Quelle, aus der die (Allah) Nahegestellten trinken.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
And wink one to another when they passed them;
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
Und, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückkehrten, kehrten sie zurück, indem sie es sich wohl sein ließen.
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On thrones, they will look.
On high couches, gazing.
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
Sind die Ungläubigen nicht doch belohnt worden für das, was sie zu tun pflegten?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
