Chapter 84, 25 verses
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
When the sky has split [open]
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is spread out
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He will be judged with an easy account
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And return to his people in happiness.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He will cry out for destruction
He surely will invoke destruction
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.

Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
So I swear by the twilight glow
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.

Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
