When the Occurrence occurs,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the event befalleth -

When the earth is shaken with convulsion
When the earth is shaken with a shock
إِذَا رُجَّتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ رَجًّا
und die Berge völlig zermalmt werden
And the mountains are broken down, crumbling
And the hills are ground to powder
وَبُسَّتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ بَسًّا

لَمَجْمُوعُونَ إِلَىٰ مِيقَٰتِ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ
Hierauf werdet ihr ja, ihr irregehenden Leugner,
Then indeed you, O those astray [who are] deniers,
Then lo! ye, the erring, the deniers,
ثُمَّ إِنَّكُمْ أَيُّهَا ٱلضَّآلُّونَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبُونَ
wahrlich von Zaqqum-Bäumen essen
Will be eating from trees of zaqqum
Ye verily will eat of a tree called Zaqqum
لَءَاكِلُونَ مِن شَجَرٍ مِّن زَقُّومٍ
und euch dann davon die Bäuche füllen
And filling with it your bellies
And will fill your bellies therewith;
فَمَالِـُٔونَ مِنْهَا ٱلْبُطُونَ
und dann darauf heißes Wasser trinken;
And drinking on top of it from scalding water

هَٰذَا نُزُلُهُمْ يَوْمَ ٱلدِّينِ
Wir doch haben euch erschaffen; wenn ihr (es) doch für wahr halten würdet!
We have created you, so why do you not believe?
We created you. Will ye then admit the truth ?
نَحْنُ خَلَقْنَٰكُمْ فَلَوْلَا تُصَدِّقُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr als Samen ausspritzt?
Have you seen that which you emit?
Have ye seen that which ye emit ?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تُمْنُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die ihn erschaffen oder sind nicht doch Wir die Erschaffer?
Is it you who creates it, or are We the Creator?
Do ye create it or are We the Creator ?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَخْلُقُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْخَٰلِقُونَ
Wir doch haben unter euch den Tod festgelegt. Und niemand kann Uns zuvorkommen,
We have decreed death among you, and We are not to be outdone
We mete out death among you, and We are not to be outrun,
نَحْنُ قَدَّرْنَا بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتَ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمَسْبُوقِينَ
daß Wir (nicht) euresgleichen (gegen euch) austauschen und euch (in einem Zustand wieder)entstehen lassen, den ihr nicht kennt.
In that We will change your likenesses and produce you in that [form] which you do not know.
That We may transfigure you and make you what ye know not.
عَلَىٰٓ أَن نُّبَدِّلَ أَمْثَٰلَكُمْ وَنُنشِئَكُمْ فِى مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ
Und ihr kennt doch die erste Schöpfung. Wenn ihr doch bedenken würdet!
And you have already known the first creation, so will you not remember?
And verily ye know the first creation. Why, then, do ye not reflect ?
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ ٱلنَّشْأَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ فَلَوْلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem, was ihr an Saatfeldern bestellt?
And have you seen that [seed] which you sow?
Have ye seen that which ye cultivate ?
أَفَرَءَيْتُم مَّا تَحْرُثُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es wachsen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die wachsen lassen?
Is it you who makes it grow, or are We the grower?
Is it ye who foster it, or are We the Fosterer ?
ءَأَنتُمْ تَزْرَعُونَهُۥٓ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلزَّٰرِعُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es wahrlich zu zermalmtem Zeug machen, und ihr würdet dann dauernd verwundert darüber reden:
If We willed, We could make it [dry] debris, and you would remain in wonder,
If We willed, We verily could make it chaff, then would ye cease not to exclaim:
لَوْ نَشَآءُ لَجَعَلْنَٰهُ حُطَٰمًا فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ
"Wir sind wahrlich mit Schulden belastet.
[Saying], "Indeed, we are [now] in debt;
Lo! we are laden with debt!
إِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ
Nein! Vielmehr ist uns alles verwehrt worden."
Rather, we have been deprived."
Nay, but we are deprived!
بَلْ نَحْنُ مَحْرُومُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Wasser, das ihr trinkt?
And have you seen the water that you drink?
Have ye observed the water which ye drink ?
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلْمَآءَ ٱلَّذِى تَشْرَبُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die es von den Wolken herabkommen lassen, oder sind doch nicht Wir es, die herabkommen lassen?
Is it you who brought it down from the clouds, or is it We who bring it down?
Is it ye who shed it from the raincloud, or are We the Shedder ?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنزَلْتُمُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُزْنِ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنزِلُونَ
Wenn Wir wollten, könnten Wir es (auf der Zunge) brennend machen. Wenn ihr doch dankbar sein würdet!
If We willed, We could make it bitter, so why are you not grateful?
If We willed We verily could make it bitter. Why then, give ye not thanks ?
لَوْ نَشَآءُ جَعَلْنَٰهُ أُجَاجًا فَلَوْلَا تَشْكُرُونَ
Was meint ihr denn zu dem Feuer, das ihr (durch Reiben) zündet?
And have you seen the fire that you ignite?
Have ye observed the fire which ye strike out;
أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱلنَّارَ ٱلَّتِى تُورُونَ
Seid ihr es etwa, die den dazu nötigen Baum entstehen lassen, oder sind nicht doch Wir es, die entstehen lassen?
Is it you who produced its tree, or are We the producer?
Was it ye who made the tree thereof to grow, or were We the grower ?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَنشَأْتُمْ شَجَرَتَهَآ أَمْ نَحْنُ ٱلْمُنشِـُٔونَ
Wir haben es ja zur Erinnerung (an das Höllenfeuer) und als Nießbrauch für die Wanderer gemacht.
We have made it a reminder and provision for the travelers,
We, even We, appointed it a memorial and a comfort for the dwellers in the wilderness.
نَحْنُ جَعَلْنَٰهَا تَذْكِرَةً وَمَتَٰعًا لِّلْمُقْوِينَ
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Therefor (O Muhammad), praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den Standorten der Sterne
Then I swear by the setting of the stars,
Nay, I swear by the places of the stars -
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَٰقِعِ ٱلنُّجُومِ
- und das ist wahrlich, wenn ihr (nur) wüßtet, ein gewaltiger Schwur:
And indeed, it is an oath - if you could know - [most] great.
And lo! that verily is a tremendous oath, if ye but knew -
وَإِنَّهُۥ لَقَسَمٌ لَّوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عَظِيمٌ
Das ist wahrlich ein ehrwürdiger Qur'an
Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an
That (this) is indeed a noble Qur'an
إِنَّهُۥ لَقُرْءَانٌ كَرِيمٌ
in einem wohlverwahrten Buch,
In a Register well - protected;
In a Book kept hidden
فِى كِتَٰبٍ مَّكْنُونٍ
das nur diejenigen berühren (dürfen), die vollkommen gereinigt sind;
None touch it except the purified.
Which none toucheth save the purified,
لَّا يَمَسُّهُۥٓ إِلَّا ٱلْمُطَهَّرُونَ
(er ist) eine Offenbarung vom Herrn der Weltenbewohner.
[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.
A revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
تَنزِيلٌ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Wollt ihr denn über diese Aussage nur schön reden
Then is it to this statement that you are indifferent
Is it this Statement that ye scorn,
أَفَبِهَٰذَا ٱلْحَدِيثِ أَنتُم مُّدْهِنُونَ
und (als Dankbarkeit) für eure Versorgung soll euer Ableugnen sein?
And make [the thanks for] your provision that you deny [the Provider]?
And make denial thereof your livelihood ?
وَتَجْعَلُونَ رِزْقَكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Wenn sie die Kehle erreicht,
Then why, when the soul at death reaches the throat
Why, then, when (the soul) cometh up to the throat (of the dying)
فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ
während ihr dabei zuschaut
And you are at that time looking on -
And ye are at that moment looking
وَأَنتُمْ حِينَئِذٍ تَنظُرُونَ
und Wir ihm näher sind als ihr - aber ihr könnt es nicht sehen -,
And Our angels are nearer to him than you, but you do not see -
- And We are nearer unto him than ye are, but ye see not -
وَنَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيْهِ مِنكُمْ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تُبْصِرُونَ
könntet ihr dann, wenn ihr doch nicht vor Gericht gestellt werden sollt (, wie ihr behauptet),
Then why do you not, if you are not to be recompensed,
Why then, if ye are not in bondage (unto Us),
فَلَوْلَآ إِن كُنتُمْ غَيْرَ مَدِينِينَ
sie zurückbringen, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid?
Bring it back, if you should be truthful?
Do ye not force it back, if ye are truthful ?
تَرْجِعُونَهَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Wenn er nun zu den (Allah) Nahegestellten gehört,
And if the deceased was of those brought near to Allah,
Thus if he is of those brought nigh,
فَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُقَرَّبِينَ
dann (wird es für ihn) Ruhe, duftende Pflanzen und einen Garten der Wonne (geben).
Then [for him is] rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure.
Then breath of life, and plenty, and a Garden of delight.
فَرَوْحٌ وَرَيْحَانٌ وَجَنَّتُ نَعِيمٍ
Und wenn er nun zu den Gefährten der rechten Seite gehört,
And if he was of the companions of the right,
And if he is of those on the right hand,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
so: Friede sei dir von den Gefährten der rechten Seite.
Then [the angels will say], "Peace for you; [you are] from the companions of the right."
Then (the greeting) "Peace be unto thee" from those on the right hand.
فَسَلَٰمٌ لَّكَ مِنْ أَصْحَٰبِ ٱلْيَمِينِ
Wenn er aber zu den Leugnern, den Irregehenden gehört,
But if he was of the deniers [who were] astray,
But if he is of the rejecters, the erring,
وَأَمَّآ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ ٱلضَّآلِّينَ
dann wird ihm eine gastliche Aufnahme aus heißem Wasser (zuteil) werden,
Then [for him is] accommodation of scalding water
Then the welcome will be boiling water
فَنُزُلٌ مِّنْ حَمِيمٍ
und das Erleiden des Höllenbrandes.
And burning in Hellfire
And roasting at hell - fire.
وَتَصْلِيَةُ جَحِيمٍ
Dies ist wahrlich die reine Gewißheit.
Indeed, this is the true certainty,
Lo! this is certain truth.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَهُوَ حَقُّ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Darum preise den Namen deines Allgewaltigen Herrn.
So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.
Therefor (O Muhammad) praise the name of thy Lord, the Tremendous.
فَسَبِّحْ بِٱسْمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
