Chapter 86, 17 verses
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
By the sky and the night comer -
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
The star of piercing brightness;
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
It is the piercing star -
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man consider of what he is created:
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
So let man observe from what he was created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created of water pouring forth,
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
Then man will have no power or any helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
By the sky which returns [rain]
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And the earth splitting (with plants);
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Most surely it is a decisive word,
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is no joke.
er ist kein Scherz.
And it is not amusement.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Surely they will make a scheme,
Sie wenden eine List an,
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I (too) will make a scheme.
Und Ich wende eine List an.
But I am planning a plan.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
