Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to the defrauders,
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
Waitha kaloohum aw wazanoohum yukhsiroona
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Ala yathunnu olaika annahum mabAAoothoona
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
For a mighty day,
Liyawmin AAatheemin
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
Unto an Awful Day,
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
Yawma yaqoomu alnnasu lirabbi alAAalameena
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?

And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
Wama adraka ma sijjeenun
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
It is a written book.

(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
A written record.
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
Waylun yawmaithin lilmukaththibeena
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
Allatheena yukaththiboona biyawmi alddeeni
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
Wama yukaththibu bihi illa kullu muAAtadin atheemin
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
Itha tutla AAalayhi ayatuna qala asateeru alawwaleena
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.

Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
Thumma innahum lasaloo aljaheemi
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
Thumma yuqalu hatha allathee kuntum bihi tukaththiboona
Hierauf wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet."
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
Kalla inna kitaba alabrari lafee AAilliyyeena
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Frommen ist wahrlich in 'Illiyyin.

And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
Wama adraka ma AAilliyyoona
Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?

in das die (Allah) Nahegestellten Einsicht nehmen.

On thrones, they shall gaze;
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On couches, gazing,
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
TaAArifu fee wujoohihim nadrata alnnaAAeemi
Du erkennst in ihren Gesichtern das Strahlen der Wonne.
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
Yusqawna min raheeqin makhtoomin
Ihnen wird von versiegeltem Nektar zu trinken gegeben,
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
Khitamuhu miskun wafee thalika falyatanafasi almutanafisoona
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
Wamizajuhu min tasneemin
und dessen Beimischung Tasnim ist,
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).

And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
Waitha marroo bihim yataghamazoona
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
And wink one to another when they passed them;
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
Waitha inqalaboo ila ahlihimu inqalaboo fakiheena
Und, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückkehrten, kehrten sie zurück, indem sie es sich wohl sein ließen.
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
Waitha raawhum qaloo inna haolai ladalloona
Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
Wama orsiloo AAalayhim hafitheena
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
Faalyawma allatheena amanoo mina alkuffari yadhakoona
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
On thrones, they will look.
AAala alaraiki yanthuroona
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On high couches, gazing.
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
Hal thuwwiba alkuffaru ma kanoo yafAAaloona
Sind die Ungläubigen nicht doch belohnt worden für das, was sie zu tun pflegten?
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
