Chapter 79, 46 verses
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those [angels] who extract with violence
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And [by] those who remove with ease
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
And by those who float in space,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
den allem Vorauseilenden,
And those who race each other in a race
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
And those who arrange [each] matter,
Then those who regulate the affair.
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
قُلُوبٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَاجِفَةٌ
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
Their eyes humbled.
Their eyes cast down.
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]?
They say: Shall we indeed 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?
What! when we are rotten bones?
أَءِذَا كُنَّا عِظَٰمًا نَّخِرَةً
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
But it shall be only a single cry,
فَإِنَّمَا هِىَ زَجْرَةٌ وَٰحِدَةٌ
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
When lo! they shall be wakeful.

Has not there come to you the story of Musa?
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,
When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice,
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.
Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate.
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
Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself:
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]?'"
And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear.
وَأَهْدِيَكَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ فَتَخْشَىٰ
Da zeigte er ihm das größte Zeichen.
And he showed him the greatest sign,
So he showed him the mighty sign.

And said, "I am your most exalted lord."
Then he said: I am your lord, the most high.
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 with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life.
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].
Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears.

And He darkened its night and extracted its brightness.

وَأَغْطَشَ لَيْلَهَا وَأَخْرَجَ ضُحَىٰهَا
Und die Erde, Er hat sie danach hingebreitet.
And after that He spread the earth.
And the earth, He expanded it after that.
وَٱلْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ دَحَىٰهَآ
Er hat aus ihr ihr Wasser und ihre Weide hervorkommen lassen.

But when the great predominating calamity comes;
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 on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

was den (denjenigen) angeht, wer das Maß (an Frevel) überschritten
So as for he who transgressed
Then as for him who is inordinate,
فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَىٰ
und das diesseitige Leben vorgezogen hat,
And preferred the life of the world,
And prefers the life of this world,
وَءَاثَرَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
gewiß, so wird der Höllenbrand (ihm) Zufluchtsort sein.
Then indeed, Hellfire will be [his] refuge.
Then surely the hell, that is the abode.
فَإِنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ هِىَ ٱلْمَأْوَىٰ
