Wenn die (Stunde) eintrifft, die eintreffen wird,
When the great event comes to pass,
When the Occurrence occurs,
إِذَا وَقَعَتِ ٱلْوَاقِعَةُ
gibt es niemanden, der ihr Eintreffen leugnen wird.
There is no belying its coming to pass - -
There is, at its occurrence, no denial.
لَيْسَ لِوَقْعَتِهَا كَاذِبَةٌ

und die Berge völlig zermalmt werden
And the mountains shall be made to crumble with (an awful) crumbling,

وَكَانُوا۟ يُصِرُّونَ عَلَى ٱلْحِنثِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

أَوَءَابَآؤُنَا ٱلْأَوَّلُونَ

werden wahrlich versammelt werden zur festgesetzten Zeit eines (wohl)bekannten Tages.
Shall most surely be gathered together for the appointed hour of a known day.
Are to be gathered together for the appointment of a known Day."
لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Hierauf werdet ihr ja, ihr irregehenden Leugner,
Then shall you, O you who err and call it a lie!
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ
wahrlich von Zaqqum-Bäumen essen
Most surely eat of a tree of Zaqqoom,
Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
لَءَاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
und euch dann davon die Bäuche füllen
And fill (your) bellies with it;
And filling with it your bellies
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
und dann darauf heißes Wasser trinken;
Then drink over it of boiling water;
And drinking on top of it from scalding water
فَشَٰرِبُونَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
trinken werdet ihr dann, wie ewig Durstige trinken.

This is their entertainment on the day of requital.
That is their accommodation on the Day of Recompense.
هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Wir doch haben euch erschaffen; wenn ihr (es) doch für wahr halten würdet!
We have created you, why do you not then assent?
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr als Samen ausspritzt?
Have you considered the seed?
Have you seen that which you emit?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die ihn erschaffen oder sind nicht doch Wir die Erschaffer?
Is it you that create it or are We the creators?
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ
Wir doch haben unter euch den Tod festgelegt. Und niemand kann Uns zuvorkommen,
We have ordained death among you and We are not to be overcome,
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
daß Wir (nicht) euresgleichen (gegen euch) austauschen und euch (in einem Zustand wieder)entstehen lassen, den ihr nicht kennt.
In order that We may bring in your place the likes of you and make you grow into what you know not.
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Und ihr kennt doch die erste Schöpfung. Wenn ihr doch bedenken würdet!
And certainly you know the first growth, why do you not then mind?
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr an Saatfeldern bestellt?
Have you considered what you sow?
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es wachsen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die wachsen lassen?
Is it you that cause it to grow, or are We the causers of growth?
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es wahrlich zu zermalmtem Zeug machen, und ihr würdet dann dauernd verwundert darüber reden:
If We pleased, We should have certainly made it broken down into pieces, then would you begin to lament:
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
"Wir sind wahrlich mit Schulden belastet.
Surely we are burdened with debt:
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Nein! Vielmehr ist uns alles verwehrt worden."
Nay! we are deprived.
Rather, we have been deprived."
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Wasser, das ihr trinkt?
Have you considered the water which you drink?
And have you seen the water that you drink?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es von den Wolken herabkommen lassen, oder sind doch nicht Wir es, die herabkommen lassen?
Is it you that send it down from the clouds, or are We the senders?
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es (auf der Zunge) brennend machen. Wenn ihr doch dankbar sein würdet!
If We pleased, We would have made it salty; why do you not then give thanks?
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Feuer, das ihr (durch Reiben) zündet?
Have you considered the fire which you strike?
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die den dazu nötigen Baum entstehen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die entstehen lassen?
Is it you that produce the trees for it, or are We the producers?
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
Wir haben es ja zur Erinnerung (an das Höllenfeuer) und als Nießbrauch für die Wanderer gemacht.
We have made it a reminder and an advantage for the wayfarers of the desert.
We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den Standorten der Sterne
But nay! I swear by the falling of stars;
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
- und das ist wahrlich, wenn ihr (nur) wüßtet, ein gewaltiger Schwur:
And most surely it is a very great oath if you only knew;
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Das ist wahrlich ein ehrwürdiger Qur'an
Most surely it is an honored Quran,
Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
in einem wohlverwahrten Buch,
In a book that is protected
In a Register well - protected;
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
das nur diejenigen berühren (dürfen), die vollkommen gereinigt sind;
None shall touch it save the purified ones.
None touch it except the purified.
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(er ist) eine Offenbarung vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
A revelation by the Lord of the worlds.
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wollt ihr denn über diese Aussage nur schön reden
Do you then hold this announcement in contempt?
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
und (als Dankbarkeit) für eure Versorgung soll euer Ableugnen sein?
And to give (it) the lie you make your means of subsistence.
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Wenn sie die Kehle erreicht,
Why is it not then that when it (soul) comes up to the throat,
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
während ihr dabei zuschaut
And you at that time look on - -
And you are at that time looking on -
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
und Wir ihm näher sind als ihr - aber ihr könnt es nicht sehen -,
And We are nearer to it than you, but you do not see - -
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
könntet ihr dann, wenn ihr doch nicht vor Gericht gestellt werden sollt (, wie ihr behauptet),
Then why is it not - - if you are not held under authority - -
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
sie zurückbringen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?
That you send it (not) back - - if you are truthful?
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Wenn er nun zu den (Allah) Nahegestellten gehört,
Then if he is one of those drawn nigh (to Allah),
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
dann (wird es für ihn) Ruhe, duftende Pflanzen und einen Garten der Wonne (geben).
Then happiness and bounty and a garden of bliss.
Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
Und wenn er nun zu den Gefährten der rechten Seite gehört,
And if he is one of those on the right hand,
And if he was of the companions of the right,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
so: Friede sei dir von den Gefährten der rechten Seite.
Then peace to you from those on the right hand.
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
And if he is one of the rejecters, the erring ones,
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
He shall have an entertainment of boiling water,
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
und das Erleiden des Höllenbrandes.
And burning in hell.
And burning in Hellfire
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Dies ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
Most surely this is a certain truth.
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
Therefore glorify the name of your Lord, the Great.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
