Chapter 79, 46 verses
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those [angels] who extract with violence
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And [by] those who remove with ease
By the meteors rushing,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
By the lone stars floating,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
den allem Vorauseilenden,
And those who race each other in a race
By the angels hastening,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
And those who arrange [each] matter,
And those who govern the event,
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
And the second followeth it,
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
On that day hearts beat painfully
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
Their eyes humbled.
While eyes are downcast
أَبْصَٰرُهَا خَٰشِعَةٌ
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
They are [presently] saying, "Will we indeed be returned to [our] former state [of life]?
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
يَقُولُونَ أَءِنَّا لَمَرْدُودُونَ فِى ٱلْحَافِرَةِ
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Surely it will need but one shout,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
And lo! they will be awakened.
فَإِذَا هُم بِٱلسَّاهِرَةِ
Ist zu dir die Geschichte Musas gekommen?
Has there reached you the story of Moses? -
Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses ?
هَلْ أَتَىٰكَ حَدِيثُ مُوسَىٰٓ
Als sein Herr ihn im geheiligten Tal Tuwa rief:
When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,
How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa,
إِذْ نَادَىٰهُ رَبُّهُۥ بِٱلْوَادِ ٱلْمُقَدَّسِ طُوًى
"Geh zu Fir'aun, denn gewiß, er überschreitet das Maß (an Frevel).
"Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed.
(Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled -
ٱذْهَبْ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ طَغَىٰ
Dann sag: Hast du (nicht) den Wunsch, dich zu läutern,
And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself
And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace) ?
فَقُلْ هَل لَّكَ إِلَىٰٓ أَن تَزَكَّىٰ
und daß ich dich zu deinem Herrn rechtleite, so daß du gottesfürchtig wirst?"
And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'"
Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him).
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Da zeigte er ihm das größte Zeichen.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
And he showed him the tremendous token.
فَأَرَىٰهُ ٱلْءَايَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
Er aber erklärte (es) für Lüge und widersetzte sich.
But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed.
But he denied and disobeyed,
فَكَذَّبَ وَعَصَىٰ
Hierauf kehrte er den Rücken und ging eilig weg'.
Then he turned his back, striving.
Then turned he away in haste,
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ يَسْعَىٰ
Da versammelte er (das Volk) und rief dann aus.
And he gathered [his people] and called out
Then gathered he and summoned
فَحَشَرَ فَنَادَىٰ
Er sagte: "Ich bin euer höchster Herr."
And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest."
فَقَالَ أَنَا۠ رَبُّكُمُ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Da ergriff Allah ihn als warnendes Beispiel für das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].
So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former.
فَأَخَذَهُ ٱللَّهُ نَكَالَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱلْأُولَىٰٓ
Darin ist wahrlich eine Lehre für jemanden, der gottesfürchtig ist.
Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah].
Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth.
إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَعِبْرَةً لِّمَن يَخْشَىٰٓ
Seid etwa ihr schwerer zu erschaffen oder der Himmel? - Er hat ihn aufgebaut.
Are you a more difficult creation or is the heaven? Allah constructed it.
Are ye the harder to create, or is the heaven that He built ?
ءَأَنتُمْ أَشَدُّ خَلْقًا أَمِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ بَنَىٰهَا
Er hat seinen höchsten Teil emporgehoben und ihn dann zurechtgeformt.
He raised its ceiling and proportioned it.
He raised the height thereof and ordered it;
رَفَعَ سَمْكَهَا فَسَوَّىٰهَا
Und Er hat seine Nacht finster gemacht und seine Morgenhelle hervorkommen lassen.
And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.
And He made dark the night thereof, and He brought forth the morn thereof.
وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
Und die Erde, Er hat sie danach hingebreitet.
And after that He spread the earth.
And after that He spread the earth,
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
Er hat aus ihr ihr Wasser und ihre Weide hervorkommen lassen.
He extracted from it its water and its pasture,
And produced therefrom the water thereof and the pasture thereof,
أَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا مَآءَهَا وَمَرْعَىٰهَا
Und die Berge, Er hat sie fest gegründet.
And the mountains He set firmly
And He made fast the hills,
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَرْسَىٰهَا
(Dies) als Nießbrauch für euch und für euer Vieh.
As provision for you and your grazing livestock.
A provision for you and for your cattle.
مَتَٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَٰمِكُمْ
Wenn dann der größte, überwältigende Umsturz kommt,
But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
But when the great disaster cometh,
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلطَّآمَّةُ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
am Tag, da der Mensch das bedenkt, worum er sich bemüht hat,
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,
يَوْمَ يَتَذَكَّرُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مَا سَعَىٰ
und zum Erscheinen gebracht wird der Höllenbrand für (je)den, der sieht;
And Hellfire will be exposed for [all] those who see -
And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,
وَبُرِّزَتِ ٱلْجَحِيمُ لِمَن يَرَىٰ
was den (denjenigen) angeht, wer das Maß (an Frevel) überschritten
So as for he who transgressed
Then, as for him who rebelled
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
und das diesseitige Leben vorgezogen hat,
And preferred the life of the world,
And chose the life of the world,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
gewiß, so wird der Höllenbrand (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
Lo! hell will be his home.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Was aber jemanden angeht, der den Stand seines Herrn gefürchtet und seiner Seele die (bösen) Neigungen untersagt hat,
But as for he who feared the position of his Lord and prevented the soul from [unlawful] inclination,
But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِۦ وَنَهَى ٱلنَّفْسَ عَنِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ
so wird der (Paradies)garten (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
Then indeed, Paradise will be [his] refuge.
Lo! the Garden will be his home.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَنَّةَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
Sie fragen dich nach der Stunde, wann sie bloß feststehen wird.
They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is its arrival?
They ask thee of the Hour: when will it come to port ?
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلسَّاعَةِ أَيَّانَ مُرْسَىٰهَا
Was hast du über sie zu erwähnen?
In what [position] are you that you should mention it?
Why (ask they) ? What hast thou to tell thereof ?
فِيمَ أَنتَ مِن ذِكْرَىٰهَآ
Zu deinem Herrn ist ihr Endziel.
To your Lord is its finality.
Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ مُنتَهَىٰهَآ
Du bist nur ein Überbringer von Warnungen für jemanden, der sie fürchtet.
You are only a warner for those who fear it.
Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.
إِنَّمَآ أَنتَ مُنذِرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰهَا
Am Tag, da sie sie sehen, wird ihnen sein, als hätten sie nur einen Nachmittag verweilt oder seinen (dazugehörigen) Vormittag
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.
كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا
