Chapter 51, 60 verses
Bei den heftig Zerstreuenden,
By those [winds] scattering [dust] dispersing
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those that winnow with a winnowing
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًا
dann den eine Last Tragenden,
And those [clouds] carrying a load [of water]
And those that bear the burden (of the rain)
فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًا
dann den leicht Dahinziehenden,
And those [ships] sailing with ease
And those that glide with ease (upon the sea)
فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًا
dann den Angelegenheiten Regelnden,
And those [angels] apportioning [each] matter,
And those who distribute (blessings) by command,
فَٱلْمُقَسِّمَٰتِ أَمْرًا
sicherlich, was euch angedroht wird, ist wahr,
Indeed, what you are promised is true.
Lo! that wherewith ye are threatened is indeed true,

und das Gericht wird gewiß hereinbrechen.

And lo! the judgment will indeed befall.
وَإِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ لَوَٰقِعٌ
Beim Himmel in seiner Vollkommenheit;
By the heaven containing pathways,
By the heaven full of paths,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ
ihr äußert fürwahr unterschiedliche Reden.
Indeed, you are in differing speech.
Lo! ye, forsooth, are of various opinion (concerning the truth).
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
Abwendig machen läßt sich davon, wer sich abwendig machen läßt.
Deluded away from the Qur'an is he who is deluded.
He is made to turn away from it who is (himself) averse.
يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
Tod den Mutmaßern,
Destroyed are the falsifiers
Accursed be the conjecturers
قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ
die in Versenkung zerstreut sind.
Who are within a flood [of confusion] and heedless.
Who are careless in an abyss!
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ فِى غَمْرَةٍ سَاهُونَ
Sie fragen: "Wann wird denn der Tag des Gerichts sein?"
They ask, "When is the Day of Recompense?"

[It is] the Day they will be tormented over the Fire
(It is) the day when they will be tormented at the Fire,
يَوْمَ هُمْ عَلَى ٱلنَّارِ يُفْتَنُونَ
Kostet (nun) eure Prüfung. Das ist, was ihr zu beschleunigen wünschtet.
[And will be told], "Taste your torment. This is that for which you were impatient."
(And it will be said unto them): Taste your torment (which ye inflicted). This is what ye sought to hasten.
ذُوقُوا۟ فِتْنَتَكُمْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ
Gewiß, die Gottesfürchtigen werden in Gärten und an Quellen sein,
Indeed, the righteous will be among gardens and springs,
Lo! those who keep from evil will dwell amid gardens and watersprings,
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
sie nehmen, was ihr Herr ihnen gegeben hat, denn sie pflegten davor Gutes zu tun.
Accepting what their Lord has given them. Indeed, they were before that doers of good.
Taking that which their Lord giveth them; for lo! aforetime they were doers of good;
ءَاخِذِينَ مَآ ءَاتَىٰهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَبْلَ ذَٰلِكَ مُحْسِنِينَ
Nur ein wenig pflegten sie in der Nacht zu schlafen,
They used to sleep but little of the night,
They used to sleep but little of the night,
كَانُوا۟ قَلِيلًا مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ مَا يَهْجَعُونَ
und im letzten Teil der Nacht pflegten sie um Vergebung zu bitten,
And in the hours before dawn they would ask forgiveness,
And ere the dawning of each day would seek forgiveness,

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.
When they came in unto him and said: Peace! he answered, Peace! (and thought): Folk unknown (to me).

Er schlich sich zu seinen Angehörigen und brachte (zum Essen) dann ein ansehnliches Kalb her.
Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

Then his wife came forward, making moan, and smote her face, and cried: A barren old woman!
فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

But they were insolent toward the command of their Lord, so the thunderbolt seized them while they were looking on.
But they rebelled against their Lord's decree, and so the thunderbolt overtook them even while they gazed;
فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

وَمِن كُلِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ
So flüchtet (nun) zu Allah. Gewiß, ich bin euch von Ihm ein deutlicher Warner.
So flee to Allah. Indeed, I am to you from Him a clear warner.

Similarly, there came not to those before them any messenger except that they said, "A magician or a madman."
Even so there came no messenger unto those before them but they said: A wizard or a madman!
كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
Haben sie es denn einander eindringlich empfohlen? Nein! Vielmehr sind sie ein das Maß (an Frevel) überschreitendes Volk.
Did they suggest it to them? Rather, they [themselves] are a transgressing people.
Have they handed down (the saying) as an heirloom one unto another ? Nay, but they are froward folk.

Und Ich habe die Ginn und die Menschen nur (dazu) erschaffen, damit sie Mir dienen.
And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.
I created the jinn and humankind only that they might worship Me.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
Ich will weder von ihnen irgendeine Versorgung, noch will Ich, daß sie Mir zu essen geben.
I do not want from them any provision, nor do I want them to feed Me.
I seek no livelihood from them, nor do I ask that they should feed Me.
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
Gewiß, Allah ist der Versorger, der Besitzer von Kraft und der Feste .
Indeed, it is Allah who is the [continual] Provider, the firm possessor of strength.
Lo! Allah! He it is that giveth livelihood, the Lord of unbreakable might.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
Gewiß, für diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, wird es einen vorgesehenen Anteil geben wie den Anteil ihrer Gefährten; so sollen sie Mich nicht um Beschleunigung (der Strafe) bitten.
And indeed, for those who have wronged is a portion [of punishment] like the portion of their predecessors, so let them not impatiently urge Me.
And lo! for those who (now) do wrong there is an evil day like unto the evil day (which came for) their likes (of old); so let them not ask Me to hasten on (that day).
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
So wehe denjenigen, die ungläubig sind, vor ihrem Tag, der ihnen angedroht ist!
And woe to those who have disbelieved from their Day which they are promised.
And woe unto those who disbelieve, from (that) their day which they are promised.
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
