Chapter 84, 25 verses
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
When the sky has split [open]
When the heaven bursts asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
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 obeys its Lord and it must.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is stretched,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
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 obeys its Lord and it must.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
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.
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
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 as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He will be judged with an easy account
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And return to his people in happiness.
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He will cry out for destruction
He shall call for perdition,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And enter into burning fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Surely he thought that he would never return.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
So I swear by the twilight glow
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And the night and that which it drives on,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And the moon when it grows full,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
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 Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
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 knows best what they hide,
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
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.
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
