Chapter 79, 46 verses
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
By those [angels] who extract with violence
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
And [by] those who remove with ease
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And by those who float in space,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
And those who race each other in a race
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then those who regulate the affair.
And those who arrange [each] matter,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Their eyes cast down.
Their eyes humbled.
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
What! when we are rotten bones?
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
But it shall be only a single cry,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -

When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
Als sein Herr ihn im geheiligten Tal Tuwa rief:
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.

Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
Dann sag: Hast du (nicht) den Wunsch, dich zu läutern,
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
und daß ich dich zu deinem Herrn rechtleite, so daß du gottesfürchtig wirst?"
So he showed him the mighty sign.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
Da zeigte er ihm das größte Zeichen.
But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed.

Then he turned his back, striving.
Hierauf kehrte er den Rücken und ging eilig weg'.
Then he gathered (men) and called out.
And he gathered [his people] and called out
Da versammelte er (das Volk) und rief dann aus.
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
Er sagte: "Ich bin euer höchster Herr."
So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
Da ergriff Allah ihn als warnendes Beispiel für das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
Darin ist wahrlich eine Lehre für jemanden, der gottesfürchtig ist.

He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
Er hat aus ihr ihr Wasser und ihre Weide hervorkommen lassen.

But when the great predominating calamity comes;
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
Wenn dann der größte, überwältigende Umsturz kommt,
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
am Tag, da der Mensch das bedenkt, worum er sich bemüht hat,

Then as for him who is inordinate,
So as for he who transgressed

Then surely the garden - - that is the abode.
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
so wird der (Paradies)garten (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
They ask you about the hour, when it will come.
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
Sie fragen dich nach der Stunde, wann sie bloß feststehen wird.
About what! You are one to remind of it.
