Chapter 78, 40 verses
Wonach fragen sie sich?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?
Of what do they ask one another?
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Nach der gewaltigen Kunde,
(It is) of the awful tidings,
About the great event,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
über die sie sich uneinig sind.
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
About which they differ?
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, but they will come to know!
Nay! they shall soon come to know
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Have We not made the earth an expanse,
Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
und die Berge zu Pfählen?
And the high hills bulwarks ?
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
And We made a shining lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
Und Wir haben von den Regenwolken sich ergießendes Wasser herabkommen lassen,
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
um damit Korn und Gewächse hervorzubringen

und da der Himmel geöffnet und dann zu Toren wird
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
