Chapter 79, 46 verses
By those [angels] who extract with violence
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By those who drag forth to destruction,
And [by] those who remove with ease
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
und den leicht Herausziehenden
By the meteors rushing,
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
And by those who float in space,
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
By the lone stars floating,
And those who race each other in a race
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
den allem Vorauseilenden,
By the angels hastening,
And those who arrange [each] matter,
Then those who regulate the affair.
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
And those who govern the event,
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
On the day when the first trump resoundeth.
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
And the second followeth it,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
On that day hearts beat painfully
Their eyes humbled.
Their eyes cast down.
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.
While eyes are downcast

They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state?
Sie sagen: "Sollen wir denn wirklich aus den Gräbern zurückgebracht werden?
(Now) they are saying: Shall we really be restored to our first state
Even if we should be decayed bones?
What! when we are rotten bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
Even after we are crumbled bones ?
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They say: Then that would be a vain proceeding.
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
But it shall be only a single cry,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,

When lo! they shall be wakeful.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.
