In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O thou enveloped in thy cloak,
O du Zugedeckter,
O you who are clothed!
Chapter 74, 56 verses

Then, when the Trumpet is sounded (i.e. the second blowing of the horn).

For when the trumpet is sounded,
Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day -
Surely that day will be a day of anguish,
so wird jener Tag ein schwerer Tag sein
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
Far from easy for the disbelievers.
Not of ease, for disbelievers.
für die Ungläubigen nicht leicht.

Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely (without any wealth or children etc, i.e. Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah Al-Makhzumi)!
Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,
Lasse Mich (allein) mit wem Ich allein erschaffen habe,
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
And then granted him resources in abundance.
And then bestowed upon him ample means,
und dem Ich ausgedehnten Besitz gegeben habe
And give him vast riches,
And children to be by his side.
And sons abiding in his presence
und Söhne (als ständige Begleiter) anwesend
And sons dwelling in his presence,
And made life smooth and comfortable for him.
And made (life) smooth for him.
und dem Ich alles schön zurechtgemacht habe;
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
After all that he desires that I should give more;
Yet he desireth that I should give more.
doch begehrt er hierauf, daß Ich (ihm) noch mehr gebe.
And yet he desires that I should add more!
Nay! Verily, he has been opposing Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).
Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.
Keineswegs! Er ist gegen Unsere Zeichen wiederholt widerspenstig gewesen.
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
I shall oblige him to (climb a slippery mountain in the Hell-fire called As-Sa'ud, or) face a severe torment!
On him I shall impose a fearful doom.
Ich werde ihn mit Beschwerlichem bedrücken.
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
Verily, he thought and plotted.
For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
Er hat ja nachgedacht und abgewogen.
Surely he reflected and guessed,
So let him be cursed: how he plotted!
(Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!
Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
And once more let him be cursed: how he plotted!
Again (self - )destroyed is he, how he planned! -
Abermals: Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
Then he thought.
Then looked he,
Hierauf hat er geschaut,

Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;
Then frowned he and showed displeasure.
hierauf hat er düster geblickt und ein finsteres Gesicht gemacht,
Then he frowned and scowled,
Then he turned back, and was proud.
Then turned he away in pride

Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old,
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
Er sagt: "Das ist nur Zauberei, die überliefert wird.
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!"
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
Das sind nur die Worte von Menschenwesen."

I will cast him into Hell-fire.
Him shall I fling unto the burning.
Ich werde ihn der Saqar aussetzen.
I will cast him into hell.
And what will make you know (exactly) what Hell-fire is?
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?
And what will make you realize what hell is?
It spares not (any sinner), nor does it leave (anything unburnt)!
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught
Sie läßt nichts übrig und läßt nichts bestehen.
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
Burning and blackening the skins!
It shrivelleth the man.
Sie verändert die Menschen ganz.
It scorches the mortal.
Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell).
Above it are nineteen.
Über ihr gibt es neunzehn (Wächter).
Over it are nineteen.
And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Qur'an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and that the believers may increase in Faith (as this Qur'an is the truth), and that no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example ?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind.
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
Nay! And by the moon
Nay, by the Moon
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
Nay; I swear by the moon,
And by the night when it withdraws.
And the night when it withdraweth
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
And the night when it departs,
And by the dawn when it brightens.
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
And the daybreak when it shines;
Verily, it (Hell, or their denial of Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, or the Day of Resurrection) is but one of the greatest (signs).
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
A warning to mankind -
As a warning unto men,
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
A warning to mortals,
To any of you that chooses to go forward (by working righteous deeds), or to remain behind (by committing sins).
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
Every person is a pledge for what he has earned,
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Except those on the Right, (i.e. the pious true believers of Islamic Monotheism).
Save those who will stand on the right hand.
außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
Except the people of the right hand,
In Gardens (Paradise) they will ask one another,
In gardens they will ask one another
sie werden sich in Gärten befinden, und sie werden einander fragen
In gardens, they shall ask each other
About Al-Mujrimun (polytheists, criminals, disbelievers), (And they will say to them):
Concerning the guilty:
nach den Übeltätern:
About the guilty:
"What has caused you to enter Hell?"
What hath brought you to this burning ?
Was hat euch in Saqar geführt?
What has brought you into hell?
They will say: "We were not of those who used to offer the Salat (prayers),
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
Sie werden sagen: "Wir gehörten nicht zu denjenigen, die beteten,
They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
"Nor we used to feed Al-Miskin (the poor);
Nor did we feed the wretched.
und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,
And we used not to feed the poor;
"And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
And we used to belie the Day of Recompense,
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
"Until there came to us (the death) that is certain."
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
Till death overtook us.
So no intercession of intercessors will be of any use to them.
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
Then what is wrong with them (i.e. the polytheists, the disbelievers) that they turn away from (receiving) admonition?
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
As they were frightened asses
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
As if they were asses taking fright
Fleeing from a hunter, or a lion, or a beast of prey.
Fleeing from a lion ?
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
That had fled from a lion?
Nay, everyone of them desires that he should be given pages spread out (coming from Allah with a writing that Islam is the right religion, and Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم has come with the truth from Allah, the Lord of the heavens and earth).
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
Aber nein! Jedermann von ihnen will, daß ihm aufgeschlagene Blätter zukommen.
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
Nay! But they fear not the Hereafter (from Allah's punishment).
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr fürchten sie nicht das Jenseits.
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
Nay, verily, this (Qur'an) is an admonition,
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
Keineswegs! Er ist ja eine Erinnerung.
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
So whosoever will (let him read it), and receive admonition (from it)!
So whosoever will may heed.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
So whoever pleases may mind it.
And they will not receive admonition unless Allah wills; He (Allah) is the One, deserving that mankind should be afraid of, and should be dutiful to Him, and should not take any Ilah (god) along with Him, and He is the One Who forgives (sins).
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
