When the sky has split [open]
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
When the heaven bursts asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
When the heaven bursts asunder,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انشقت
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth has been extended
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is stretched,
وإذا الأرض مدت
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
وألقت ما فيها وتخلت
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And obeys its Lord and it must.
وأذنت لربها وحقت
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
يا أيها الإنسان إنك كادح إلى ربك كدحا فملاقيه
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then as for he who is given his record in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
فأما من أوتي كتابه بيمينه
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
He will be judged with an easy account
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
فسوف يحاسب حسابا يسيرا
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And return to his people in happiness.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
وينقلب إلى أهله مسرورا
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
وأما من أوتي كتابه وراء ظهره
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
He will cry out for destruction
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He shall call for perdition,
فسوف يدعو ثبورا
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And enter into burning fire.
ويصلى سعيرا
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
إنه كان في أهله مسرورا
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Surely he thought that he would never return.
إنه ظن أن لن يحور
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
بلى إن ربه كان به بصيرا
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I swear by the twilight glow
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
فلا أقسم بالشفق
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
And [by] the night and what it envelops
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And the night and that which it drives on,
والليل وما وسق
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And the moon when it grows full,
والقمر إذا اتسق
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
[That] you will surely experience state after state.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
لتركبن طبقا عن طبق
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
فما لهم لا يؤمنون
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they do not prostrate [to Allah]?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
وإذا قرئ عليهم القرآن لا يسجدون ۩
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
بل الذين كفروا يكذبون
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
And Allah is most knowing of what they keep within themselves.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
And Allah knows best what they hide,
والله أعلم بما يوعون
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
فبشرهم بعذاب أليم
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except for those who believe and do righteous deeds. For them is a reward uninterrupted.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
إلا الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات لهم أجر غير ممنون
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
