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