Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the sky and the night comer -
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
It is the piercing star -
The star of piercing brightness;
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man observe from what he was created.
So let man consider of what he is created:
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
He is created of water pouring forth,
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Then man will have no power or any helper.
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the sky which returns [rain]
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
And the earth splitting (with plants);
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Most surely it is a decisive word,
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is not amusement.
And it is no joke.
er ist kein Scherz.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Surely they will make a scheme,
Sie wenden eine List an,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
But I am planning a plan.
And I (too) will make a scheme.
Und Ich wende eine List an.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
