Chapter 78, 40 verses
Wonach fragen sie sich?
Of what do they ask one another?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Nach der gewaltigen Kunde,
About the great event,
(It is) of the awful tidings,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
über die sie sich uneinig sind.
About which they differ?
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! they shall soon come to know
Nay, but they will come to know!
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Haben Wir nicht die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht
Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
Have We not made the earth an expanse,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
und die Berge zu Pfählen?
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
And the high hills bulwarks ?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
Und Wir haben euch als Paare erschaffen.
And We created you in pairs,
And We have created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
Und Wir haben euren Schlaf zum Ausruhen gemacht.
And We made your sleep to be rest (to you),
And have appointed your sleep for repose,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
Und Wir haben die Nacht zum Kleid gemacht.
And We made the night to be a covering,
And have appointed the night as a cloak,

And We made the day for seeking livelihood.
And have appointed the day for livelihood.
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا

And We made above you seven strong ones,
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
Und Wir haben einen hell glühenden Leuchtkörper gemacht.
And We made a shining lamp,
And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
Und Wir haben von den Regenwolken sich ergießendes Wasser herabkommen lassen,
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
um damit Korn und Gewächse hervorzubringen
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
Thereby to produce grain and plant,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
und dichtbestandene Gärten.
And gardens dense and luxuriant.
And gardens of thick foliage.
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Gewiß, der Tag der Entscheidung ist eine festgesetzte Zeit,
Surely the day of decision is (a day) appointed:
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا
der Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und ihr in Scharen herkommt
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
und da der Himmel geöffnet und dann zu Toren wird
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
und da die Berge versetzt und dann zu einer Luftspiegelung werden.
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Gewiß, die Hölle ist ein Hinterhalt,
Surely hell lies in wait,
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

A home for the rebellious.

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
Sie erwarteten ja niemals eine Abrechnung

For lo! they looked not for a reckoning;
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
und erklärten Unsere Zeichen hartnäckig für Lüge.
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
They called Our revelations false with strong denial.
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
Doch alles haben Wir schriftlich erfaßt.
And We have recorded everything in a book,
Everything have We recorded in a Book.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
So kostet; Wir werden euch nur die Strafe mehren.
So taste! for We will not add to you aught but chastisement.
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

umfriedete Gärten und Rebstöcke
Gardens and vineyards,
Gardens enclosed and vineyards,
حَدَآئِقَ وَأَعْنَٰبًا

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
(Dies) als Belohnung von deinem Herrn, als hinreichende Gabe,
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:
Requital from thy Lord - a gift in payment -
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, dem Allerbarmer. Sie verfügen nicht darüber, vor Ihm zu reden,
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.
Lord of the heavens and the earth, and (all) that is between them, the Beneficent; with Whom none can converse.
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
That is the True Day. So whoso will should seek recourse unto his Lord.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
Wir warnen euch ja vor naher Strafe, am Tag, da der Mensch schauen wird, was seine Hände vorausgeschickt haben, und der Ungläubige sagen wird: "O wäre ich doch Erde!"
Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
