Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is spread out
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
He will be judged with an easy account
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
And return to his people in happiness.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
He will cry out for destruction
He surely will invoke destruction
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I swear by the twilight glow
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And by the moon when she is at the full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
