لَآ أُقْسِمُ بِيَوْمِ ٱلْقِيَٰمَةِ

وَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلنَّفْسِ ٱللَّوَّامَةِ
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß Wir seine Knochen nicht zusammenfügen werden?
Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones?
أيحسب الإنسان ألن نجمع عظامه
Does man think that We shall not gather his bones?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَلَّن نَّجْمَعَ عِظَامَهُۥ

Wenn dann der Blick verwirrt ist
At length, when the sight is dazed,

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ
und Sonne und Mond zusammengebracht werden,
And the sun and moon are joined together, -
وجمع الشمس والقمر
And the sun and the moon are brought together,
وَجُمِعَ ٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ
wird der Mensch an jenem Tag sagen: "Wohin soll die Flucht sein?"
That Day will Man say: "Where is the refuge?"
يقول الإنسان يومئذ أين المفر
Man shall say on that day: Whither to fly to?
يَقُولُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَيْنَ ٱلْمَفَرُّ
Keineswegs! (Es gibt) keine Zuflucht.
By no means! No place of safety!

يُنَبَّؤُا۟ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بِمَا قَدَّمَ وَأَخَّرَ
Aber nein! Der Mensch wird bezüglich seiner selbst durchblicken,
Nay, man will be evidence against himself,
بل الإنسان على نفسه بصيرة

بَلِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِهِۦ بَصِيرَةٌ
auch wenn er seine Entschuldigungen vorbrächte .
Even though he were to put up his excuses.
ولو ألقى معاذيره
Though he puts forth his excuses.
وَلَوْ أَلْقَىٰ مَعَاذِيرَهُۥ
Bewege deine Zunge nicht damit, um ihn übereilt weiterzugeben.

لا تحرك به لسانك لتعجل به
Do not move your tongue with it to make haste with it,
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
Uns obliegt es, ihn zusammenzustellen und ihn vorlesen zu lassen.
It is for Us to collect it and to promulgate it:
إن علينا جمعه وقرآنه
Surely on Us (devolves) the collecting of it and the reciting of it.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ

Nay more, it is for Us to explain it (and make it clear):
ثم إن علينا بيانه
Again on Us (devolves) the explaining of it.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
Keineswegs! Vielmehr liebt ihr das schnell Eintreffende,
Nay, (ye men!) but ye love the fleeting life,
كلا بل تحبون العاجلة
Nay! But you love the present life,
كَلَّا بَلْ تُحِبُّونَ ٱلْعَاجِلَةَ
und laßt das Jenseits (außer acht).
And leave alone the Hereafter.
وتذرون الآخرة
And neglect the hereafter.
وَتَذَرُونَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ
(Die einen) Gesichter werden an jenem Tag strahlen,
Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty); -
وجوه يومئذ ناضرة

وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَّاضِرَةٌ
zu ihrem Herrn schauen.
Looking towards their Lord;
إلى ربها ناظرة

And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal,
ووجوه يومئذ باسرة
And (other) faces on that day shall be gloomy,
وَوُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ
die meinen, es würde ihnen das Rückgrat gebrochen.
In the thought that some back - breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;
تظن أن يفعل بها فاقرة
Knowing that there will be made to befall them some great calamity.
تَظُنُّ أَن يُفْعَلَ بِهَا فَاقِرَةٌ
Keineswegs! Wenn sie das Schlüsselbein erreicht
Yea, when (the soul) reaches to the collar - bone (in its exit),
كلا إذا بلغت التراقي
Nay! When it comes up to the throat,
كَلَّآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلتَّرَاقِىَ
und gesagt wird: "Wer ist ein Zauberer (, der ihn retten kann)?",
And there will be a cry, "Who is a magician (to restore him)?"
وقيل من ۜ راق
And it is said: Who will be a magician?
وَقِيلَ مَنْ رَاقٍ
und wenn er meint, daß es (jetzt) die Trennung sei,
And he will conclude that it was (the Time) of Parting;
وظن أنه الفراق
And he is sure that it is the (hour of) parting
وَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ ٱلْفِرَاقُ
und wenn (bei ihm) sich das eine Bein um das andere legt,
And one leg will be joined with another:
والتفت الساق بالساق
And affliction is combined with affliction;
وَٱلْتَفَّتِ ٱلسَّاقُ بِٱلسَّاقِ
zu deinem Herrn wird an jenem Tag das Treiben sein.
That Day the Drive will be (all) to thy Lord!
إلى ربك يومئذ المساق
To your Lord on that day shall be the driving.
إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ ٱلْمَسَاقُ
Doch hielt er nicht (die Botschaft) für wahr noch betete er,
So he gave nothing in charity, nor did he pray! -
فلا صدق ولا صلى
So he did not accept the truth, nor did he pray,
فَلَا صَدَّقَ وَلَا صَلَّىٰ
sondern er erklärte (sie) für Lüge, und er kehrte sich ab.
But on the contrary, he rejected Truth and turned away!
ولكن كذب وتولى
But called the truth a lie and turned back,
وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Hierauf ging er zu seinen Angehörigen, stolzierend.
Then did he stalk to his family in full conceit!
ثم ذهب إلى أهله يتمطى
Then he went to his followers, walking away in haughtiness.
ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ يَتَمَطَّىٰٓ
- "Wehe dir, ja wehe!
Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
أولى لك فأولى
Nearer to you (is destruction) and nearer,
أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰ
Abermals: Wehe dir, ja wehe!"
Again, Woe to thee, (O men!), yea, woe!
ثم أولى لك فأولى
Again (consider how) nearer to you and nearer.
ثُمَّ أَوْلَىٰ لَكَ فَأَوْلَىٰٓ
Meint der Mensch (etwa), daß er außer acht gelassen wird?
Does man think that he will be left uncontrolled, (without purpose)?
أيحسب الإنسان أن يترك سدى
Does man think that he is to be left to wander without an aim?
أَيَحْسَبُ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَن يُتْرَكَ سُدًى
Ist er nicht ein Tropfen von Samenflüssigkeit, die ausgespritzt wird,
Was he not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)?
ألم يك نطفة من مني يمنى
Was he not a small seed in the seminal elements,
أَلَمْ يَكُ نُطْفَةً مِّن مَّنِىٍّ يُمْنَىٰ
hierauf ein Anhängsel gewesen? Da hat Er erschaffen und zurechtgeformt
Then did he become a leech - like clot; then did (Allah) make and fashion (him) in due proportion.
ثم كان علقة فخلق فسوى
Then he was a clot of blood, so He created (him) then made (him) perfect.
ثُمَّ كَانَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
und dann daraus beide Teile des Paares gemacht, das Männliche und das Weibliche.
And of him He made two sexes, male and female.
فجعل منه الزوجين الذكر والأنثى
Then He made of him two kinds, the male and the female.
فَجَعَلَ مِنْهُ ٱلزَّوْجَيْنِ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Hat dieser (Gott) nicht die Macht, die Toten wieder lebendig zu machen?
Has not He, (the same), the power to give life to the dead?
أليس ذلك بقادر على أن يحيي الموتى
Is not He able to give life to the dead?
أَلَيْسَ ذَٰلِكَ بِقَٰدِرٍ عَلَىٰٓ أَن يُحْۦِىَ ٱلْمَوْتَىٰ
