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
And [by] those who remove with ease
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
And by those who float in space,
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And those who race each other in a race
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
den allem Vorauseilenden,
And those who arrange [each] matter,
Then those who regulate the affair.
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
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

What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
Hearts on that day shall palpitate,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,

Their eyes cast down.
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.

Even if we should be decayed bones?
What! when we are rotten bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
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."
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
But it shall be only a single cry,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
When lo! they shall be wakeful.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.

But when there comes the greatest Overwhelming Calamity -
But when the great predominating calamity comes;
Wenn dann der größte, überwältigende Umsturz kommt,
The Day when man will remember that for which he strove,
The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

Am Tag, da sie sie sehen, wird ihnen sein, als hätten sie nur einen Nachmittag verweilt oder seinen (dazugehörigen) Vormittag
