In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the event befalleth -
When the great event comes to pass,
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
gibt es niemanden, der ihr Eintreffen leugnen wird.
There is no denying that it will befall -
There is no belying its coming to pass - -
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

خَافِضَةٌ رَّافِعَةٌ
Wenn die Erde heftig hin und her geschüttelt wird
When the earth is shaken with a shock
When the earth shall be shaken with a (severe) shaking,
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
und die Berge völlig zermalmt werden
And the hills are ground to powder
And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا
und dann zu verstreutem Staub werden
So that they become a scattered dust,
So that they shall be as scattered dust.

And ye will be three kinds:
And you shall be three sorts.

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Wir doch haben euch erschaffen; wenn ihr (es) doch für wahr halten würdet!
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?
We have created you, why do you not then assent?
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr als Samen ausspritzt?
Have ye seen that which ye emit ?
Have you considered the seed?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die ihn erschaffen oder sind nicht doch Wir die Erschaffer?
Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?
Is it you that create it or are We the creators?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ
Wir doch haben unter euch den Tod festgelegt. Und niemand kann Uns zuvorkommen,
We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,
We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
daß Wir (nicht) euresgleichen (gegen euch) austauschen und euch (in einem Zustand wieder)entstehen lassen, den ihr nicht kennt.
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Und ihr kennt doch die erste Schöpfung. Wenn ihr doch bedenken würdet!
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?
And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr an Saatfeldern bestellt?
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?
Have you considered what you sow?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es wachsen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die wachsen lassen?
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?
Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es wahrlich zu zermalmtem Zeug machen, und ihr würdet dann dauernd verwundert darüber reden:
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:
If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
"Wir sind wahrlich mit Schulden belastet.
Lo! we are laden with debt!
Surely we are burdened with debt:
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Nein! Vielmehr ist uns alles verwehrt worden."
Nay, but we are deprived!
Nay! we are deprived.
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Wasser, das ihr trinkt?
Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?
Have you considered the water which you drink?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es von den Wolken herabkommen lassen, oder sind doch nicht Wir es, die herabkommen lassen?
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?
Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es (auf der Zunge) brennend machen. Wenn ihr doch dankbar sein würdet!
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?
If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Feuer, das ihr (durch Reiben) zündet?
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;
Have you considered the fire which you strike?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die den dazu nötigen Baum entstehen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die entstehen lassen?
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?
Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
Wir haben es ja zur Erinnerung (an das Höllenfeuer) und als Nießbrauch für die Wanderer gemacht.
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.
We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den Standorten der Sterne
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
- und das ist wahrlich, wenn ihr (nur) wüßtet, ein gewaltiger Schwur:
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Das ist wahrlich ein ehrwürdiger Qur'an
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
Most surely it is an honored Quran,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
in einem wohlverwahrten Buch,
In a Book kept hidden
In a book that is protected
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
das nur diejenigen berühren (dürfen), die vollkommen gereinigt sind;
Which none toucheth save the purified,
None shall touch it save the purified ones.
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(er ist) eine Offenbarung vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wollt ihr denn über diese Aussage nur schön reden
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
und (als Dankbarkeit) für eure Versorgung soll euer Ableugnen sein?
And make denial thereof your livelihood ?
And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Wenn sie die Kehle erreicht,
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
während ihr dabei zuschaut
And ye are at that moment looking
And you at that time look on - -
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
und Wir ihm näher sind als ihr - aber ihr könnt es nicht sehen -,
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see - -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
könntet ihr dann, wenn ihr doch nicht vor Gericht gestellt werden sollt (, wie ihr behauptet),
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),
Then why is it not - - if you are not held under authority - -
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
sie zurückbringen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?
That you send it (not) back - - if you are truthful?
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Wenn er nun zu den (Allah) Nahegestellten gehört,
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
dann (wird es für ihn) Ruhe, duftende Pflanzen und einen Garten der Wonne (geben).
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
Und wenn er nun zu den Gefährten der rechten Seite gehört,
And if he is of those on the right hand,
And if he is one of those on the right hand,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
so: Friede sei dir von den Gefährten der rechten Seite.
Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
Then peace to you from those on the right hand.
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,
And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
Then the welcome will be boiling water
He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
und das Erleiden des Höllenbrandes.
And roasting at hell - fire.
And burning in hell.
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Dies ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
