Chapter 79, 46 verses
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those [angels] who extract with violence
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And [by] those who remove with ease
And by those who float in space,
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
den allem Vorauseilenden,
And those who race each other in a race
Then those who regulate the affair.
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
And those who arrange [each] matter,

What must happen afterwards shall follow it.

There will follow it the subsequent [one].
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,

But it shall be only a single cry,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
