Chapter 77, 50 verses
By those [winds] sent forth in gusts
I swear by the emissary winds, sent one after another (for men's benefit),
Waalmursalati AAurfan
Bei den Entsandten, die wie eine Mähne aufeinanderfolgen,
And the winds that blow violently
By the raging hurricanes,
FaalAAasifati AAasfan
den einen Sturm Entfesselnden
And [by] the winds that spread [clouds]
Which scatter clouds to their destined places,
Waalnnashirati nashran
und den alles Ausbreitenden,
And those [angels] who bring criterion
Then separate them one from another,
Faalfariqati farqan
den klar Trennenden,
And those [angels] who deliver a message
Then I swear by the angels who bring down the revelation,
Faalmulqiyati thikran
den Ermahnung Überbringenden
As justification or warning,
To clear or to warn.
AAuthran aw nuthran
zur Pflichterfüllung oder zur Warnung!
