Chapter 96, 19 verses
Lies im Namen deines Herrn, Der erschaffen hat,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Read: In the name of thy Lord Who createth,
Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
ٱقْرَأْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ
den Menschen erschaffen hat aus einem Anhängsel.
Createth man from a clot.
He created man from a clot.
خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِنْ عَلَقٍ
Lies, und dein Herr ist der Edelste,
Read: And thy Lord is the Most Bounteous,
Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
ٱقْرَأْ وَرَبُّكَ ٱلْأَكْرَمُ
Der (das Schreiben) mit dem Schreibrohr gelehrt hat,
Who teacheth by the pen,
Who taught (to write) with the pen
ٱلَّذِى عَلَّمَ بِٱلْقَلَمِ
den Menschen gelehrt hat, was er nicht wußte.
Teacheth man that which he knew not.
Taught man what he knew not.
عَلَّمَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ
Keineswegs! Der Mensch lehnt sich wahrlich auf,
Nay, but verily man is rebellious
Nay! man is most surely inordinate,
كَلَّآ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَيَطْغَىٰٓ
daß er von sich meint, unbedürftig zu sein.
That he thinketh himself independent!
Because he sees himself free from want.
أَن رَّءَاهُ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰٓ
Gewiß, zu deinem Herrn wird die Rückkehr sein.
Lo! unto thy Lord is the return.
Surely to your Lord is the return.
إِنَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ ٱلرُّجْعَىٰٓ
Siehst du denjenigen, der abhält
Hast thou seen him who dissuadeth
Have you seen him who forbids
أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يَنْهَىٰ
einen Diener, wenn er betet?
A slave when he prayeth ?
A servant when he prays?
عَبْدًا إِذَا صَلَّىٰٓ
Siehst du! Obwohl er nach der Rechtleitung verfährt,
Hast thou seen if he relieth on the guidance (of Allah)
Have you considered if he were on the right way,
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَانَ عَلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰٓ
oder die Gottesfurcht gebietet?
Or enjoineth piety ?
Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
أَوْ أَمَرَ بِٱلتَّقْوَىٰٓ
Siehst du! Wie (wäre es) wenn er (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt?
Hast thou seen if he denieth (Allah's guidance) and is froward ?
Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
أَرَءَيْتَ إِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Weiß er denn nicht, daß Allah sieht?
Is he then unaware that Allah seeth ?
Does he not know that Allah does see?
أَلَمْ يَعْلَم بِأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَرَىٰ
Keineswegs! Wenn er nicht aufhört, werden Wir ihn ganz gewiß an der Stirnlocke packen und ziehen,
Nay, but if he cease not We will seize him by the forelock -
Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
كَلَّا لَئِن لَّمْ يَنتَهِ لَنَسْفَعًۢا بِٱلنَّاصِيَةِ
einer Stirnlocke, einer lügnerischen, einer verfehlt handelnden.
The lying, sinful forelock -
A lying, sinful forehead.
نَاصِيَةٍ كَٰذِبَةٍ خَاطِئَةٍ
So soll er doch seine Genossen rufen.
Then let him call upon his henchmen!
Then let him summon his council,
فَلْيَدْعُ نَادِيَهُۥ
Wir werden die (Höllen)wache rufen.
We will call the guards of hell.
We too would summon the braves of the army.
سَنَدْعُ ٱلزَّبَانِيَةَ
Keineswegs! Gehorche ihm nicht, sondern wirf dich nieder und sei (Allah) nah!
Nay, Obey not thou him. But prostrate thyself, and draw near (unto Allah).
Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).
كَلَّا لَا تُطِعْهُ وَٱسْجُدْ وَٱقْتَرِب
