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
When the sky is rent 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,
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
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
And when the earth is flattened 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
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) 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!
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
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.

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
Then he who is given his Record 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
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
And return to his people in happiness.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
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,
But he who is given his Record 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
Soon will he cry for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
And he will enter a Blazing 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).
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
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!
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I swear by the twilight glow
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
The Night and its Homing;
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,
And the Moon in her fullness:
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben

And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?

So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
