Chapter 84, 25 verses
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
When the sky is rent asunder,
When the heaven bursts asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is flattened out,
And when the earth is stretched,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
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 hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
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 thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
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 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,
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
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 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
Soon will he cry for perdition,
He shall call for perdition,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
And enter into burning fire.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Surely he thought that he would never return.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
The Night and its Homing;
And the night and that which it drives on,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And the Moon in her fullness:
And the moon when it grows full,
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
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 read to them, they fall not prostrate,
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 on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
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.
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
And Allah knows best what they hide,
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
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 to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
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
