Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the heaven bursts asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is stretched,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is spread out
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He shall call for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He surely will invoke destruction
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And enter into burning fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And the night and that which it drives on,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the moon when it grows full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And by the moon when she is at the full,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knows best what they hide,
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a painful punishment~
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
