Chapter 79, 46 verses
By those [angels] who extract with violence
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
I swear by the angels who violently pull out the souls of the wicked,
وَٱلنَّٰزِعَٰتِ غَرْقًا
And [by] those who remove with ease
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed,
وَٱلنَّٰشِطَٰتِ نَشْطًا
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
And by those who float in space,
وَٱلسَّٰبِحَٰتِ سَبْحًا
And those who race each other in a race
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then those who are foremost going ahead,
فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًا
And those who arrange [each] matter,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
Then those who regulate the affair.
فَٱلْمُدَبِّرَٰتِ أَمْرًا

Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
The day on which the quaking one shall quake,
يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلرَّاجِفَةُ
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
What must happen afterwards shall follow it.
تَتْبَعُهَا ٱلرَّادِفَةُ
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,

Even if we should be decayed bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"

Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss.
قَالُوا۟ تِلْكَ إِذًا كَرَّةٌ خَاسِرَةٌ
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,
But it shall be only a single cry,
