Nay! But you love the present life,
كلا بل تحبون العاجلة
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,

(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
وجوه يومئذ ناضرة

Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرة
In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
كلا إذا بلغت التراقي
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ

And it is said: Who will be a magician?

And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
وظن أنه الفراق
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;

إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
Doch hielt er nicht (die Botschaft) für wahr noch betete er,
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
فلا صدق ولا صلى
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
sondern er erklärte (sie) für Lüge, und er kehrte sich ab.
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
ولكن كذب وتولى
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Hierauf ging er zu seinen Angehörigen, stolzierend.
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
- "Wehe dir, ja wehe!
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
أولى لك فأولى
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Abermals: Wehe dir, ja wehe!"
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
ثم أولى لك فأولى
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß er außer acht gelassen wird?
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
أيحسب الإنسان أن يترك سدى
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Ist er nicht ein Tropfen von Samenflüssigkeit, die ausgespritzt wird,
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
hierauf ein Anhängsel gewesen? Da hat Er erschaffen und zurechtgeformt
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى
Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
und dann daraus beide Teile des Paares gemacht, das Männliche und das Weibliche.
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
فجعل منه الزوجين الذكر والأنثى
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Hat dieser (Gott) nicht die Macht, die Toten wieder lebendig zu machen?
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيي الموتى
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
