Chapter 86, 17 verses
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالسَّمَاءِ وَالطَّارِقِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the heaven, and At-Tariq (the night-comer, i.e. the bright star);
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الطَّارِقُ
And what will make you to know what At-Tariq (night-comer) is?
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
النَّجْمُ الثَّاقِبُ
(It is) the star of piercing brightness;
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
There is no human being but has a protector over him (or her) (i.e. angels in charge of each human being guarding him, writing his good and bad deeds)
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
فَلْيَنظُرِ الْإِنسَانُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
So let man see from what he is created!
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّاءٍ دَافِقٍ
He is created from a water gushing forth,
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
يَخْرُجُ مِن بَيْنِ الصُّلْبِ وَالتَّرَائِبِ
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
إِنَّهُ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِ لَقَادِرٌ
Verily, (Allah) is Able to bring him back (to life)!
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى السَّرَائِرُ
The Day when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to their truth).
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
فَمَا لَهُ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Then he will have no power, nor any helper.
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
وَالسَّمَاءِ ذَاتِ الرَّجْعِ
By the sky (having rain clouds) which gives rain, again and again.
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
وَالْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ الصَّدْعِ
And the earth which splits (with the growth of trees and plants).
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
Verily, this (the Qur'an) is the Word that separates (the truth from falsehood, and commands strict laws for mankind to cut the roots of evil).
er ist kein Scherz.
وَمَا هُوَ بِالْهَزْلِ
And it is not a thing for amusement.
Sie wenden eine List an,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Verily, they are but plotting a plot (against you O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم).
Und Ich wende eine List an.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
And I (too) am planning a plan.
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
فَمَهِّلِ الْكَافِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًا
So give a respite to the disbelievers; deal gently with them for a while.
