When the sky has split [open]
When the heaven bursts asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
When the heaven bursts asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وأذنت لربها وحقت
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is stretched,
وإذا الأرض مدت
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وأذنت لربها وحقت
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He will be judged with an easy account
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And return to his people in happiness.
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He will cry out for destruction
He shall call for perdition,
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And enter into burning fire.
ويصلى سعيرا
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Surely he thought that he would never return.
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I swear by the twilight glow
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
فلا أقسم بالشفق
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And the night and that which it drives on,
والليل وما وسق
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And the moon when it grows full,
والقمر إذا اتسق
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knows best what they hide,
والله أعلم بما يوعون
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
