Chapter 86, 17 verses
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
By the sky and the night comer -
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
It is the piercing star -
The star of piercing brightness;
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.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
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 of 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 of water pouring forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Most surely He is able to return him (to 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 things shall be made manifest,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
Then man will have no power or any helper.
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
By the sky which returns [rain]
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
And the earth splitting (with plants);
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
er ist kein Scherz.
And it is not amusement.
And it is no joke.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Sie wenden eine List an,
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
Und Ich wende eine List an.
But I am planning a plan.
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
