Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the heaven bursts asunder,
When the sky has split [open]
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is stretched,
And when the earth has been extended
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
He will be judged with an easy account
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
And return to his people in happiness.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He shall call for perdition,
He will cry out for destruction
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And enter into burning fire.
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
So I swear by the twilight glow
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And the night and that which it drives on,
And [by] the night and what it envelops
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the moon when it grows full,
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knows best what they hide,
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a painful punishment~
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
