Chapter 81, 29 verses
Wenn die Sonne umschlungen wird'
When the sun is covered,
When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِذَا الشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
und wenn die Sterne verstreut werden
And when the stars darken,
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ
und wenn die Berge versetzt werden
And when the mountains are made to pass away,
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
وَإِذَا الْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
und wenn die trächtigen Kamelstuten vernachlässigt werden
And when the camels are left untended,
When the she - camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
وَإِذَا الْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
und wenn die wilden Tiere versammelt werden
And when the wild animals are made to go forth,
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
وَإِذَا الْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ
und wenn die Meere zum Überfließen gebracht werden
And when the seas are set on fire,
When the oceans boil over with a swell;
وَإِذَا الْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
und wenn die Seelen gepaart werden
And when souls are united,
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
وَإِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
und wenn das lebendig begrabene Mädchen gefragt wird,
And when the female infant buried alive is asked
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
وَإِذَا الْمَوْءُودَةُ سُئِلَتْ
wegen welcher Sünde es getötet wurde,
For what sin she was killed,
For what crime she was killed;
بِأَيِّ ذَنبٍ قُتِلَتْ
und wenn die Blätter aufgeschlagen werden
And when the books are spread,
When the scrolls are laid open;
وَإِذَا الصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ
und wenn der Himmel abgezogen wird
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
When the world on High is unveiled;
وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ
und wenn die Hölle angefacht wird
And when the hell is kindled up,
When the Blazing Fire is kindled to fierce heat;
وَإِذَا الْجَحِيمُ سُعِّرَتْ
und wenn der (Paradies)garten nahe herangebracht wird,
And when the garden is brought nigh,
And when the Garden is brought near; -
وَإِذَا الْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
wird eine (jede) Seele erfahren, was sie vorgebracht hat.
Every soul shall (then) know what it has prepared.
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّا أَحْضَرَتْ
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den sich Verbergenden,
But nay! I swear by the stars,
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِالْخُنَّسِ
den Dahinziehenden und sich wieder Zeigenden
That run their course (and) hide themselves,
Go straight, or hide;
الْجَوَارِ الْكُنَّسِ
und bei der Nacht, wenn sie anbricht,
And the night when it departs,
And the Night as it dissipates;
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
und bei dem Morgen, wenn er Atem schöpft:
And the morning when it brightens,
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; -
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
Dies sind wahrlich die Worte eines edlen Gesandten,
Most surely it is the Word of an honored messenger,
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
Besitzer von Kraft und beim Herrn des Thrones in Ansehen,
The processor of strength, having an honorable place with the Lord of the Dominion,
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
ذِي قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
dem man dort gehorcht und (der) vertrauenswürdig (ist).
One (to be) obeyed, and faithful in trust.
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
Und euer Gefährte ist kein Besessener.
And your companion is not gone mad.
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
Er hat ihn ja am deutlichen Gesichtskreis gesehen,
And of a truth he saw himself on the clear horizon.
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
وَلَقَدْ رَآهُ بِالْأُفُقِ الْمُبِينِ
und er hält nicht aus Geiz das Verborgene zurück.
Nor of the unseen is he a tenacious concealer.
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى الْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
Und es sind nicht die Worte eines gesteinigten Satans.
Nor is it the word of the cursed Shaitan,
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَانٍ رَّجِيمٍ
Wo geht ihr denn hin?
Whither then will you go?
When whither go ye?
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner,
It is naught but a reminder for the nations,
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَالَمِينَ
für jemanden von euch, der sich recht verhalten will.
For him among you who pleases to go straight.
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
Und ihr könnt nicht wollen, außer daß Allah will, (Er), der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
And you do not please except that Allah please, the Lord of the worlds.
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.
وَمَا تَشَاءُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
