Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
When the heaven bursts asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is stretched,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
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.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
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,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
He will be judged with an easy account
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
And return to his people in happiness.
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
He will cry out for destruction
He shall call for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And enter into burning fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I swear by the twilight glow
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And the night and that which it drives on,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And the moon when it grows full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
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?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knows best what they hide,
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
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.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
