Wonach fragen sie sich?
About what are they asking one another?

عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Nach der gewaltigen Kunde,
About the great news -
About the great event,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
über die sie sich uneinig sind.
That over which they are in disagreement.
About which they differ?
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
No! They are going to know.
Nay! they shall soon come to know
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Then, no! They are going to know.
Nay! Nay! they shall soon know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ

Have We not made the earth an even expanse?
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
und die Berge zu Pfählen?
And the mountains as stakes?
And the mountains as projections (thereon)?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا

And We created you in pairs
And We created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا

Und Wir haben einen hell glühenden Leuchtkörper gemacht.
And made [therein] a burning lamp
And We made a shining lamp,
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
Und Wir haben von den Regenwolken sich ergießendes Wasser herabkommen lassen,
And sent down, from the rain clouds, pouring water
And We send down from the clouds water pouring forth abundantly,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
um damit Korn und Gewächse hervorzubringen
That We may bring forth thereby grain and vegetation
That We may bring forth thereby corn and herbs,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
und dichtbestandene Gärten.
And gardens of entwined growth.
And gardens dense and luxuriant.

der Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und ihr in Scharen herkommt
The Day the Horn is blown and you will come forth in multitudes
The day on which the trumpet shall be blown so you shall come forth in hosts,

und da der Himmel geöffnet und dann zu Toren wird
And the heaven is opened and will become gateways
And the heaven shall be opened so that it shall be all openings,

und da die Berge versetzt und dann zu einer Luftspiegelung werden.
And the mountains are removed and will be [but] a mirage.
And the mountains shall be moved off so that they shall remain a mere semblance.

und erklärten Unsere Zeichen hartnäckig für Lüge.
And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.
And called Our communications a lie, giving the lie (to the truth).
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا

But all things We have enumerated in writing.
And We have recorded everything in a book,
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
So kostet; Wir werden euch nur die Strafe mehren.

لَّا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيهَا لَغْوًا وَلَا كِذَّٰبًا
(Dies) als Belohnung von deinem Herrn, als hinreichende Gabe,
[As] reward from your Lord, [a generous] gift [made due by] account,
A reward from your Lord, a gift according to a reckoning:
جَزَآءً مِّن رَّبِّكَ عَطَآءً حِسَابًا
dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, dem Allerbarmer. Sie verfügen nicht darüber, vor Ihm zu reden,
[From] the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them, the Most Merciful. They possess not from Him [authority for] speech.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and what is between them, the Beneficent Allah, they shall not be able to address Him.
رَّبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مِنْهُ خِطَابًا

The day on which the spirit and the angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا
Das ist der wahrhaftig (eintreffend)e Tag. Wer nun will, nimmt zu seinem Herrn eine Heimkehr.
That is the True Day; so he who wills may take to his Lord a [way of] return.
That is the sure day, so whoever desires may take refuge with his Lord.
ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا
Wir warnen euch ja vor naher Strafe, am Tag, da der Mensch schauen wird, was seine Hände vorausgeschickt haben, und der Ungläubige sagen wird: "O wäre ich doch Erde!"
Indeed, We have warned you of a near punishment on the Day when a man will observe what his hands have put forth and the will say, "Oh, I wish that I were dust!"
Surely We have warned you of a chastisement near at hand: the day when man shall see what his two hands have sent before, and the unbeliever shall say: O! would that I were dust!
إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
