Chapter 86, 17 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star);
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
(It is) the star of piercing brightness;
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels in charge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds)
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man see from what he is created!
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He is created from a water gushing forth,
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)!
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth).
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
Then he will have no power, nor any helper.
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again.
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants).
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
Verily, this (the Qur'an) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil).
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is not a thing for amusement.
er ist kein Scherz.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).
Sie wenden eine List an,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
And I (too) am planning a plan.
Und Ich wende eine List an.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
