Chapter 83, 36 verses
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
Woe to the defrauders,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto the defrauders:
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
Those who when they take the measure from mankind demand it full,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
But if they measure unto them or weight for them, they cause them loss.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Do such (men) not consider that they will be raised again
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
For a mighty day,
Unto an Awful Day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
The day when (all) mankind stand before the Lord of the Worlds ?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
Nay, but the record of the vile is in Sijjin -
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
Ah! what will convey unto thee what Sijjin is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
It is a written book.
A written record.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
Woe unto the repudiators on that day!
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
Those who deny the Day of Judgment
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
Which none denieth save each criminal transgressor,
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
Who, when thou readest unto him Our revelations, saith: (Mere) fables of the men of old.
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Nay, but that which they have earned is rust upon their hearts.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
Nay, but surely on that day they will be covered from (the mercy of) their Lord.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
Then lo! they verily will burn in hell,
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Hierauf wird gesagt werden: "Das ist das, was ihr für Lüge zu erklären pflegtet."
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.
And it will be said (unto them): This is that which ye used to deny.
ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Frommen ist wahrlich in 'Illiyyin.
Nay! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyin.
Nay, but the record of the righteous is in 'Illiyin -
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْأَبْرَارِ لَفِى عِلِّيِّينَ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what 'Illiyin is! -
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen,
It is a written book,
A written record,
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
in das die (Allah) Nahegestellten Einsicht nehmen.
Those who are drawn near (to Allah) shall witness it.
Attested by those who are brought near (unto their Lord).
يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Die Frommen werden wahrlich in Wonne sein,
Most surely the righteous shall be in bliss,
Lo! the righteous verily are in delight,
إِنَّ ٱلْأَبْرَارَ لَفِى نَعِيمٍ
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On thrones, they shall gaze;
On couches, gazing,
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Du erkennst in ihren Gesichtern das Strahlen der Wonne.
You will recognize in their faces the brightness of bliss.
Thou wilt know in their faces the radiance of delight.
تَعْرِفُ فِى وُجُوهِهِمْ نَضْرَةَ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
Ihnen wird von versiegeltem Nektar zu trinken gegeben,
They are made to quaff of a pure drink that is sealed (to others).
They are given to drink of a pure wine, sealed,
يُسْقَوْنَ مِن رَّحِيقٍ مَّخْتُومٍ
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
Whose seal is musk - for this let (all) those strive who strive for bliss -
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
und dessen Beimischung Tasnim ist,
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,
And mixed with water of Tasnim,
وَمِزَاجُهُۥ مِن تَسْنِيمٍ
aus einer Quelle, aus der die (Allah) Nahegestellten trinken.
A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
A spring whence those brought near (to Allah) drink.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
Lo! the guilty used to laugh at those who believed,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
And wink one to another when they passed them;
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
Und, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückkehrten, kehrten sie zurück, indem sie es sich wohl sein ließen.
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
And when they returned to their own folk, they returned jesting;
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
And when they saw them they said: Lo! these have gone astray.
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
Yet they were not sent as guardians over them.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
This day it is those who believe who have the laugh of disbelievers,
فَٱلْيَوْمَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلْكُفَّارِ يَضْحَكُونَ
auf überdachten Liegen (gelehnt), und blicken um sich.
On thrones, they will look.
On high couches, gazing.
عَلَى ٱلْأَرَآئِكِ يَنظُرُونَ
Sind die Ungläubigen nicht doch belohnt worden für das, was sie zu tun pflegten?
Surely the disbelievers are rewarded as they did.
Are not the disbelievers paid for what they used to do ?
هَلْ ثُوِّبَ ٱلْكُفَّارُ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَفْعَلُونَ
