Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky has split [open]
When the sky is rent asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so]
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And when the earth has been extended
And when the earth is flattened out,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And has cast out that within it and relinquished [it]
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has responded to its Lord and was obligated [to do so] -
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
O mankind, indeed you are laboring toward your Lord with [great] exertion and will meet it.

He will be judged with an easy account
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

And return to his people in happiness.
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
But as for he who is given his record behind his back,
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
He will cry out for destruction
Soon will he cry for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
And [enter to] burn in a Blaze.
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
Indeed, he had [once] been among his people in happiness;
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Indeed, he had thought he would never return [to Allah].
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
But yes! Indeed, his Lord was ever of him, Seeing.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I swear by the twilight glow
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
And [by] the night and what it envelops
The Night and its Homing;
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And [by] the moon when it becomes full
And the Moon in her fullness:
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,

And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?

But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,

Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
