Chapter 84, 25 verses
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
When the heaven bursts asunder,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
Waitha alardu muddat
And when the earth is stretched,
And when the earth is spread out
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
And obeys its Lord and it must.
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
He shall call for perdition,
He surely will invoke destruction
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
Wayasla saAAeeran
And enter into burning fire.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Surely he thought that he would never return.
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
Waallayli wama wasaqa
And the night and that which it drives on,
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
And the moon when it grows full,
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
Fama lahum la yuminoona
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
And Allah knows best what they hide,
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a painful punishment~
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
