Chapter 77, 50 verses
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the winds (or angels or the Messengers of Allah) sent forth one after another.
Bei den Entsandten, die wie eine Mähne aufeinanderfolgen,
By the raging hurricanes,
And by the winds that blow violently.
den einen Sturm Entfesselnden
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
And by the winds that scatter clouds and rain.
und den alles Ausbreitenden,
Then separate them one from another,
And by the Verses (of the Qur'an) that separate the right from the wrong.
den klar Trennenden,
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
And by the angels that bring the revelations to the Messengers,
den Ermahnung Überbringenden
To clear or to warn.
To cut off all excuses or to warn.
zur Pflichterfüllung oder zur Warnung!
