Chapter 82, 19 verses
When the Sky is cleft asunder;
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم إذا السماء انفطرت
Wenn der Himmel zerbricht
When the heaven becomes cleft asunder,
When the Stars are scattered;
وإذا الكواكب انتثرت
und wenn die Sterne sich zerstreuen
And when the stars become dispersed,
When the Oceans are suffered to burst forth;
وإذا البحار فجرت
und wenn die Meere gesprengt werden
And when the seas are made to flow forth,
And when the Graves are turned upside down; -
وإذا القبور بعثرت
und wenn die Gräber durchwühlt werden,
And when the graves are laid open,
(Then) shall each soul know what it hath sent forward and (what it hath) kept back.
علمت نفس ما قدمت وأخرت
wird eine (jede) Seele erfahren, was sie vorausgeschickt und zurückgestellt hat.
Every soul shall know what it has sent before and held back.
O man! What has seduced thee from thy Lord Most Beneficent? -
يا أيها الإنسان ما غرك بربك الكريم
O Mensch, was hat dich hinsichtlich deines edelmütigen Herrn getäuscht,
O man! what has beguiled you from your Lord, the Gracious one,
Him Who created thee. Fashioned thee in due proportion, and gave thee a just bias;
الذي خلقك فسواك فعدلك
Der dich erschaffen und da(bei) zurechtgeformt und wohlgebildet gemacht hat.
Who created you, then made you complete, then made you symmetrical?
In whatever Form He wills, does He put thee together.
في أي صورة ما شاء ركبك
und dich, in welcher Gestalt Er wollte, zusammengefügt hat?
Into whatever form He pleased He constituted you.
Nay! But ye do reject Right and Judgment!
كلا بل تكذبون بالدين
Keineswegs! Vielmehr erklärt ihr das Gericht für Lüge.
Nay! but you give the lie to the judgment day,
But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you, -
وإن عليكم لحافظين
Über euch sind wahrlich Hüter (eingesetzt),
And most surely there are keepers over you
Kind and honourable, - Writing down (your deeds):
كراما كاتبين
edle, die (alles) aufschreiben
Honorable recorders,
They know (and understand) all that ye do.
يعلمون ما تفعلون
und die wissen, was ihr tut.
They know what you do.
As for the Righteous, they will be in bliss;
إن الأبرار لفي نعيم
Die Frommen werden wahrlich in Wonne sein.
Most surely the righteous are in bliss,
And the Wicked - they will be in the Fire,
وإن الفجار لفي جحيم
Und die Sittenlosen werden wahrlich in einem Höllenbrand sein,
And most surely the wicked are in burning fire,
Which they will enter on the Day of Judgment,
يصلونها يوم الدين
dem sie am Tag des Gerichts ausgesetzt werden
They shall enter it on the day of judgment.
And they will not be able to keep away therefrom.
وما هم عنها بغائبين
und dem sie nicht abwesend sein werden.
And they shall by no means be absent from it.
And what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
وما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der Tag des Gerichts ist?
And what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
Again, what will explain to thee what the Day of Judgment is?
ثم ما أدراك ما يوم الدين
Abermals: Was läßt dich wissen, was der Tag des Gerichts ist?
Again, what will make you realize what the day of judgment is?
(It will be) the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) aught for another: For the command, that Day, will be (wholly) with Allah.
يوم لا تملك نفس لنفس شيئا ۖ والأمر يومئذ لله
Am Tag, da keine Seele für eine (andere) Seele etwas (auszurichten) vermag; und der Befehl wird an jenem Tag Allah (allein) zustehen.
The day on which no soul shall control anything for (another) soul; and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's.
