Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the heaven bursts asunder,
When the sky is rent asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (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 is flattened out,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
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 thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
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 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,
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
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 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,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And enter into burning fire.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And the night and that which it drives on,
The Night and its Homing;
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the moon when it grows full,
And the Moon in her fullness:
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
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 read to them, they fall not prostrate,
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 on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah knows best what they hide,
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
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 announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
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 to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
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
