Chapter 86, 17 verses
By the sky and the night comer -
Beim Himmel und dem Pochenden!
I swear by the heaven and the comer by night;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلطَّارِقِ
And what can make you know what is the night comer?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Pochende ist?
And what will make you know what the comer by night is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلطَّارِقُ
It is the piercing star -
(Es ist) der durchbohrend helle Stem.
The star of piercing brightness;
ٱلنَّجْمُ ٱلثَّاقِبُ
There is no soul but that it has over it a protector.
Es gibt keine Seele, über der nicht ein Hüter (eingesetzt) ist.
There is not a soul but over it is a keeper.
إِن كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَّمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ
So let man observe from what he was created.
So soll der Mensch doch hinsehen, woraus er erschaffen ist.
So let man consider of what he is created:
فَلْيَنظُرِ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ مِمَّ خُلِقَ
He was created from a fluid, ejected,
Er ist aus sich ergießendem Wasser erschaffen,
He is created of water pouring forth,
خُلِقَ مِن مَّآءٍ دَافِقٍ
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
das zwischen der Lende und der (weiblichen) Brust hervorkommt.
Coming from between the back and the ribs.
يَخْرُجُ مِنۢ بَيْنِ ٱلصُّلْبِ وَٱلتَّرَآئِبِ
Indeed, Allah, to return him [to life], is Able.
Er hat die Macht dazu, ihn zurückkehren zu lassen,
Most surely He is able to return him (to life).
إِنَّهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَجْعِهِۦ لَقَادِرٌ
The Day when secrets will be put on trial,
am Tag, da die geheimsten Gedanken geprüft werden.
On the day when hidden things shall be made manifest,
يَوْمَ تُبْلَى ٱلسَّرَآئِرُ
Then man will have no power or any helper.
Dann hat er weder Kraft noch einen Helfer.
He shall have neither strength nor helper.
فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن قُوَّةٍ وَلَا نَاصِرٍ
By the sky which returns [rain]
Beim Himmel mit der Wiederkehr
I swear by the raingiving heavens,
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلرَّجْعِ
And [by] the earth which cracks open,
und der Erde mit ihren Sprüngen!
And the earth splitting (with plants);
وَٱلْأَرْضِ ذَاتِ ٱلصَّدْعِ
Indeed, the Qur'an is a decisive statement,
Er ist wahrlich ein entscheidendes Wort;
Most surely it is a decisive word,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلٌ فَصْلٌ
And it is not amusement.
er ist kein Scherz.
And it is no joke.
وَمَا هُوَ بِٱلْهَزْلِ
Indeed, they are planning a plan,
Sie wenden eine List an,
Surely they will make a scheme,
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًا
But I am planning a plan.
Und Ich wende eine List an.
And I (too) will make a scheme.
وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًا
So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.
So lasse den Ungläubigen noch Zeit; lasse ihnen nur eine Weile Zeit.
So grant the unbelievers a respite: let them alone for a while.
فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا
