Chapter 86, 17 verses
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
By the sky and the night comer -
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the heaven and the Morning Star
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
- Ah, what will tell thee what the Morning Star is!
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
It is the piercing star -
- The piercing Star!
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
No human soul but hath a guardian over it.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
So let man observe from what he was created.
So let man consider from what he is created.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
He is created from a gushing fluid
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
That issued from between the loins and ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Lo! He verily is Able to return him (unto life)
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
On the day when hidden thoughts shall be searched out.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
Then man will have no power or any helper.
Then will he have no might nor any helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
By the sky which returns [rain]
By the heaven which giveth the returning rain,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
And the earth which splitteth (with the growth of trees and plants)
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Lo! this (Qur'an) is a conclusive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
er ist kein Scherz.
And it is not amusement.
It is no pleasantry.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Sie wenden eine List an,
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Lo! they plot a plot (against thee, O Muhammad)
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Und Ich wende eine List an.
But I am planning a plan.
And I plot a plot (against them).
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
