Chapter 84, 25 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
When the sky is rent asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
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 forth,
And when the earth is flattened out,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And has cast out all that was in it and became 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 listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
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! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).
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 for him who will be given his Record 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 surely will receive an easy reckoning,
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And will return to his family in joy!
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But whosoever is given his Record 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 will invoke (for his) destruction,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
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
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding 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
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
The Night and its Homing;
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And by the moon when it is at the full.
And the Moon in her fullness:
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What is the matter with them, that they believe not?
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 Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.
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 belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
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 gather (of good and bad deeds),
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 torment.
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
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
