وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß Wir seine Knochen nicht zusammenfügen werden?
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
Thinketh man that We shall not assemble his bones ?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ
Ja doch! (Wir) haben die Macht dazu, seine Fingerspitzen zurechtzuformen.
Yea! We are able to make complete his very fingertips

يَسْـَٔلُ أَيَّانَ يَوْمُ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ
Wenn dann der Blick verwirrt ist
So when the sight becomes dazed,
But when sight is confounded
فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ
und der Mond sich verfinstert
And the moon becomes dark,
And the moon is eclipsed
وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
und Sonne und Mond zusammengebracht werden,
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
And sun and moon are united,
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
wird der Mensch an jenem Tag sagen: "Wohin soll die Flucht sein?"
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
On that day man will cry: Whither to flee!
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ
Keineswegs! (Es gibt) keine Zuflucht.
By no means! there shall be no place of refuge!
Alas! No refuge!
كَلَّا لَا وَزَرَ
Zu deinem Herrn wird an jenem Tag der Weg zum Aufenthaltsort (führen).
With your Lord alone shall on that day be the place of rest.
Unto thy Lord is the recourse that day.

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Aber nein! Der Mensch wird bezüglich seiner selbst durchblicken,
Nay! man is evidence against himself,
Oh, but man is a telling witness against himself,
بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
auch wenn er seine Entschuldigungen vorbrächte .
Though he puts forth his excuses.
Although he tender his excuses.
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Bewege deine Zunge nicht damit, um ihn übereilt weiterzugeben.
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,

لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Uns obliegt es, ihn zusammenzustellen und ihn vorlesen zu lassen.
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.

Nay, but ye do love the fleeting Now
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
und laßt das Jenseits (außer acht).
And neglect the hereafter.
And neglect the Hereafter.
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
(Die einen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag strahlen,
(Some) faces on that day shall be bright,
That day will faces be resplendent,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
zu ihrem Herrn schauen.
Looking to their Lord.
Looking toward their Lord;
إِلَىٰ رَبِّهَا نَاظِرَةٌ
Und (die anderen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag finster sein;
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
And that day will other faces be despondent,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
die meinen, es würde ihnen das Rückgrat gebrochen.
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
Thou wilt know that some great disaster is about to fall on them.
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ

und gesagt wird: "Wer ist ein Zauberer (, der ihn retten kann)?",
And it is said: Who will be a magician?
And men say: Where is the wizard (who can save him now) ?

und wenn er meint, daß es (jetzt) die Trennung sei,
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
And he knoweth that it is the parting;
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
und wenn (bei ihm) sich das eine Bein um das andere legt,
And affliction is combined with affliction;
And agony is heaped on agony;
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
zu deinem Herrn wird an jenem Tag das Treiben sein.
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
Unto thy Lord that day will be the driving.
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,
For he neither trusted, nor prayed.
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
sondern er erklärte (sie) für Lüge, und er kehrte sich ab.
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
But he denied and flouted.
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Hierauf ging er zu seinen Angehörigen, stolzierend.
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
Then went he to his folk with glee.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ

Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
Nearer unto thee and nearer,
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Abermals: Wehe dir, ja wehe!"
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
Again nearer unto thee and nearer (is the doom).
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?
Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless ?
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,
Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth ?
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.
Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned
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.
And made of him a pair, the 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?
Is not He (Who doeth so) Able to bring the dead to life ?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
