Chapter 79, 46 verses
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And by those who float in space,
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
Then press forward as in a race,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
Then those who regulate the affair.
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
