Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to the defrauders,
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
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,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
For a mighty day,
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
Unto an Awful Day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
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 ?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
It is a written book.
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
A written record.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
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.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
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.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ

Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -

It is a written book,
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen,

in das die (Allah) Nahegestellten Einsicht nehmen.
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
Die Frommen werden wahrlich in Wonne sein,
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
On thrones, they shall gaze;
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On couches, gazing,

Ihnen wird von versiegeltem Nektar zu trinken gegeben,
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
und dessen Beimischung Tasnim ist,
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
aus einer Quelle, aus der die (Allah) Nahegestellten trinken.
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
And wink one to another when they passed them;
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
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;
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
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.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
On thrones, they will look.
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On high couches, gazing.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
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 ?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
