Chapter 80, 42 verses
Er blickte düster und kehrte sich ab,
He frowned and turned (his) back,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. He frowned and turned away
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
weil der Blinde zu ihm kam.
Because there came to him the blind man.
Because the blind man came unto him.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
oder bedenkt, so daß ihm die Ermahnung nützt.
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Was nun jemanden angeht, der sich für unbedürftig hält,
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
so widmest du dich ihm,
To him do you address yourself.
Unto him thou payest regard.
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
obgleich es dich nicht zu kümmern hat, daß er sich nicht läutern will.
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
Was aber jemanden angeht, der zu dir geeilt kommt
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
und dabei gottesfürchtig ist,
And he fears,
And hath fear,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
von dem läßt du dich ablenken.
From him will you divert yourself.
From him thou art distracted.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Keineswegs! Gewiß, es ist eine Erinnerung.
Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment,
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
So let him who pleases mind it.
So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
(Er steht) auf in Ehren gehaltenen Blättern,
In honored books,
On honoured leaves
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
erhöhten und rein gehaltenen,
Exalted, purified,
Exalted, purified,
مَّرْفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۭ
durch die Hände von Entsandten,
In the hands of scribes
(Set down) by scribes
بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ
edlen, frommen.
Noble, virtuous.
Noble and righteous.
كِرَامٍۭ بَرَرَةٍ
Tod dem Menschen, wie undankbar er ist!
Cursed be man! how ungrateful is he!
Man is (self - )destroyed: how ungrateful!
قُتِلَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكْفَرَهُۥ
Woraus hat Er ihn erschaffen?
Of what thing did He create him?
From what thing doth He create him ?
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
Aus einem Samentropfen hat Er ihn erschaffen und ihm dabei sein Maß festgesetzt.
Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,
From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him,
مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Den Weg hierauf macht Er ihm leicht.
Then (as for) the way - - He has made it easy (for him)
Then maketh the way easy for him,
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Hierauf läßt Er ihn sterben und bringt ihn dann ins Grab.
Then He causes him to die, then assigns to him a grave,
Then causeth him to die, and burieth him;
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقْبَرَهُۥ
Hierauf, wenn Er will, läßt Er ihn auferstehen.
Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Keineswegs! Er hat noch nicht ausgeführt, was Er ihm befohlen hat.
Nay; but he has not done what He bade him.
Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
So schaue der Mensch doch auf seine Nahrung:
Then let man look to his food,
Let man consider his food:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Wir gießen ja Güsse von Wasser,
That We pour down the water, pouring (it) down in abundance,
How We pour water in showers
أَنَّا صَبَبْنَا ٱلْمَآءَ صَبًّا
hierauf spalten Wir die Erde in Spalten auf
Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder,
Then split the earth in clefts
ثُمَّ شَقَقْنَا ٱلْأَرْضَ شَقًّا
und lassen dann auf ihr Korn wachsen
Then We cause to grow therein the grain,
And cause the grain to grow therein
فَأَنۢبَتْنَا فِيهَا حَبًّا
und Rebstöcke und Grünzeug
And grapes and clover,
And grapes and green fodder
وَعِنَبًا وَقَضْبًا
und Ölbäume und Palmen
And the olive and the palm,
And olive - trees and palm - trees
وَزَيْتُونًا وَنَخْلًا
und Gärten mit dicken Bäumen
And thick gardens,
And garden - closes of thick foliage
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلْبًا
und Früchte und Futter,
And fruits and herbage
And fruits and grasses:
وَفَٰكِهَةً وَأَبًّا
als Nießbrauch für euch und für euer Vieh.
A provision for you and for your cattle.
Provision for you and your cattle.
مَّتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
Wenn dann der betäubende (Schrei) kommt,
But when the deafening cry comes,
But when the Shout cometh
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
am Tag, da der Mensch flieht vor seinem Bruder
The day on which a man shall fly from his brother,
On the day when a man fleeth from his brother
يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ
und seiner Mutter und seinem Vater
And his mother and his father,
And his mother and his father
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
und seiner Gefährtin und seinen Söhnen
And his spouse and his son - -
And his wife and his children,
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
jedermann von ihnen wird an jenem Tag eine Angelegenheit haben, die ihn beschäftigt.
Every man of them shall on that day have an affair which will occupy him.
Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others).
لِكُلِّ ٱمْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ
(Die einen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag erstrahlen,
(Many) faces on that day shall be bright,
On that day faces will be bright as dawn,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُّسْفِرَةٌ
lachen und sich freuen.
Laughing, joyous.
Laughing, rejoicing at good news;
ضَاحِكَةٌ مُّسْتَبْشِرَةٌ
Und auf (den anderen) Gesichtern wird an jenem Tag Staub sein.
And (many) faces on that day, on them shall be dust,
And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْهَا غَبَرَةٌ
und sie werden von Dunkelheit bedeckt sein.
Darkness shall cover them.
Veiled in darkness,
تَرْهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Das sind die Ungläubigen und Sittenlosen.
These are they who are unbelievers, the wicked.
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْكَفَرَةُ ٱلْفَجَرَةُ
