When the sun (with its spacious light) is folded up;
Wenn die Sonne umschlungen wird'
إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ
And when the stars fall, dispersing,
When the stars fall, losing their lustre;
und wenn die Sterne verstreut werden
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّجُومُ ٱنكَدَرَتْ
And when the mountains are removed
When the mountains vanish (like a mirage);
und wenn die Berge versetzt werden
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ
And when full - term she - camels are neglected
When the she - camels, ten months with young, are left untended;
und wenn die trächtigen Kamelstuten vernachlässigt werden
وَإِذَا ٱلْعِشَارُ عُطِّلَتْ
And when the wild beasts are gathered
When the wild beasts are herded together (in the human habitations);
und wenn die wilden Tiere versammelt werden
وَإِذَا ٱلْوُحُوشُ حُشِرَتْ

When the oceans boil over with a swell;
und wenn die Meere zum Überfließen gebracht werden
وَإِذَا ٱلْبِحَارُ سُجِّرَتْ
And when the souls are paired
When the souls are sorted out, (being joined, like with like);
und wenn die Seelen gepaart werden
وَإِذَا ٱلنُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ
And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned -
und wenn das lebendig begrabene Mädchen gefragt wird,
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
For what sin she was killed
For what crime she was killed;
wegen welcher Sünde es getötet wurde,
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ
And when the pages are made public
When the scrolls are laid open;

And when the Garden is brought near; -
und wenn der (Paradies)garten nahe herangebracht wird,
وَإِذَا ٱلْجَنَّةُ أُزْلِفَتْ
A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].
(Then) shall each soul know what it has put forward.
wird eine (jede) Seele erfahren, was sie vorgebracht hat.
عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
So I swear by the retreating stars -
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den sich Verbergenden,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
Go straight, or hide;
den Dahinziehenden und sich wieder Zeigenden
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
And by the night as it closes in
And the Night as it dissipates;
und bei der Nacht, wenn sie anbricht,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And by the dawn when it breathes
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; -
und bei dem Morgen, wenn er Atem schöpft:
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
Dies sind wahrlich die Worte eines edlen Gesandten,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
Besitzer von Kraft und beim Herrn des Thrones in Ansehen,
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
dem man dort gehorcht und (der) vertrauenswürdig (ist).
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
Und euer Gefährte ist kein Besessener.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
Er hat ihn ja am deutlichen Gesichtskreis gesehen,
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
und er hält nicht aus Geiz das Verborgene zurück.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
Und es sind nicht die Worte eines gesteinigten Satans.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ
So where are you going?
When whither go ye?
Wo geht ihr denn hin?
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
für jemanden von euch, der sich recht verhalten will.
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.
Und ihr könnt nicht wollen, außer daß Allah will, (Er), der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
