Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is stretched forth,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He will be judged with an easy account
He surely will receive an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And return to his people in happiness.
And will return to his family in joy!
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He will cry out for destruction
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I swear by the twilight glow
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And by the moon when it is at the full.
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
What is the matter with them, that they believe not?
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a painful torment.
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
