When the heaven bursts asunder,
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet

And obeys its Lord and it must.
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And when the earth is stretched,
Waitha alardu muddat
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is flattened out,
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
And obeys its Lord and it must.
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,

And he shall go back to his people joyful.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.

And as to him who is given his book behind his back,

He shall call for perdition,
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen

And enter into burning fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran

und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
The Night and its Homing;
And the moon when it grows full,
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.

But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
Fama lahum la yuminoona
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben

Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.

So announce to them a painful punishment~
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,

Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
