Chapter 74, 56 verses
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O thou enveloped in thy cloak,
O you who are clothed!
O du Zugedeckter,
Arise and deliver thy warning!
Arise and warn!
Arise and warn,
stehe auf und warne;
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
Thy Lord magnify,
And your Lord do magnify,
und deinen Herrn, Den preise als den Größten,
And thy garments keep free from stain!
Thy raiment purify,
And your garments do purify,
und deine Gewänder, die reinige,
And all abomination shun!
Pollution shun!
And uncleanness do shun,
und die (Unreinheit des) Götzen(dienstes), die meide,
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
And show not favour, seeking wordly gain!
And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
und halte nicht (deinen Verdienst) vor, und halte ihn nicht für zu groß,
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
For the sake of thy Lord, be patient!
And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
und ertrage standhaft (alles) für deinen Herrn.
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
For when the trumpet shall sound,
For when the trumpet is sounded,
Wenn dann ins Horn gestoßen wird,
That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -
Surely that day will be a day of anguish,
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
so wird jener Tag ein schwerer Tag sein
Far from easy for those without Faith.
Not of ease, for disbelievers.
For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
für die Ungläubigen nicht leicht.
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -
Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely,
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
Lasse Mich (allein) mit wem Ich allein erschaffen habe,
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
And then bestowed upon him ample means,
And give him vast riches,
und dem Ich ausgedehnten Besitz gegeben habe
And sons to be by his side! -
And sons abiding in his presence
And sons dwelling in his presence,
und Söhne (als ständige Begleiter) anwesend
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
And made (life) smooth for him.
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
und dem Ich alles schön zurechtgemacht habe;
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
Yet he desireth that I should give more.
And yet he desires that I should add more!
doch begehrt er hierauf, daß Ich (ihm) noch mehr gebe.
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations.
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
Keineswegs! Er ist gegen Unsere Zeichen wiederholt widerspenstig gewesen.
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
On him I shall impose a fearful doom.
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
Ich werde ihn mit Beschwerlichem bedrücken.
For he thought and he plotted; -
For lo! he did consider; then he planned -
Surely he reflected and guessed,
Er hat ja nachgedacht und abgewogen.
And woe to him! How he plotted! -
(Self - )destroyed is he, how he planned!
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -
Again (self - )destroyed is he, how he planned! -
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
Abermals: Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
Then he looked round;
Then looked he,
Then he looked,
Hierauf hat er geschaut,
Then he frowned and he scowled;
Then frowned he and showed displeasure.
Then he frowned and scowled,
hierauf hat er düster geblickt und ein finsteres Gesicht gemacht,
Then he turned back and was haughty;
Then turned he away in pride
Then he turned back and was big with pride,
hierauf hat er den Rücken gekehrt und ist hochmütig geblieben.
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
And said: This is naught else than magic from of old;
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
Er sagt: "Das ist nur Zauberei, die überliefert wird.
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
This is naught else than speech of mortal man.
This is naught but the word of a mortal.
Das sind nur die Worte von Menschenwesen."
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
Him shall I fling unto the burning.
I will cast him into hell.
Ich werde ihn der Saqar aussetzen.
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
- Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! -
And what will make you realize what hell is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -
It leaveth naught; it spareth naught
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
Sie läßt nichts übrig und läßt nichts bestehen.
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
It shrivelleth the man.
It scorches the mortal.
Sie verändert die Menschen ganz.
Over it are Nineteen.
Above it are nineteen.
Over it are nineteen.
Über ihr gibt es neunzehn (Wächter).
And We have set none but angels as Guardians of the Fire; and We have fixed their number only as a trial for Unbelievers, - in order that the People of the Book may arrive at certainty, and the Believers may increase in Faith, - and that no doubts may be left for the People of the Book and the Believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the Unbelievers may say, "What symbol doth Allah intend by this?" Thus doth Allah leave to stray whom He pleaseth, and guide whom He pleaseth: and none can know the forces of thy Lord, except He and this is no other than a warning to mankind.
We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling - block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude ? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals.
And We have not made the wardens of the fire others than angels, and We have not made their number but as a trial for those who disbelieve, that those who have been given the book may be certain and those who believe may increase in faith, and those who have been given the book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the unbelievers may say: What does Allah mean by this parable? Thus does Allah make err whom He pleases, and He guides whom He pleases, and none knows the hosts of your Lord but He Himself; and this is naught but a reminder to the mortals.
Wir haben als Wächter des (Höllen)feuers nur Engel eingesetzt, und Wir haben ihre Zahl nur zu einer Versuchung gemacht für diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, damit diejenigen Überzeugung gewinnen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und damit diejenigen, die glauben, an Glauben zunehmen, und damit diejenigen, denen die Schrift gegeben wurde, und (auch) die Gläubigen nicht zweifeln und damit diejenigen, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist, und (auch) die Ungläubigen sagen: "Was will denn Allah damit als Gleichnis?" So läßt Allah in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet recht, wen Er will. Aber niemand weiß über die Heerscharen deines Herrn Bescheid außer Ihm. Und es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Menschenwesen.
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
Nay, by the Moon
Nay; I swear by the moon,
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
And by the Night as it retreateth,
And the night when it withdraweth
And the night when it departs,
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
And the dawn when it shineth forth,
And the daybreak when it shines;
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
Lo! this is one of the greatest (portents)
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
A warning to mankind, -
As a warning unto men,
A warning to mortals,
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
Unto him of you who will advance or hang back.
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
Every soul is a pledge for its own deeds;
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
Save those who will stand on the right hand.
Except the people of the right hand,
außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
In gardens they will ask one another
In gardens, they shall ask each other
sie werden sich in Gärten befinden, und sie werden einander fragen
And (ask) of the Sinners:
Concerning the guilty:
About the guilty:
nach den Übeltätern:
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
What hath brought you to this burning ?
What has brought you into hell?
Was hat euch in Saqar geführt?
They will say: "We were not of those who prayed;
They will answer: We were not of those who prayed
They shall say: We were not of those who prayed;
Sie werden sagen: "Wir gehörten nicht zu denjenigen, die beteten,
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
Nor did we feed the wretched.
And we used not to feed the poor;
und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
We used to wade (in vain dispute) with (all) waders,
And we used to enter into vain discourse with those who entered into vain discourses.
und wir pflegten auf schweifende Reden mit denjenigen einzugehen, die solche führten,
"And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
And we used to deny the Day of Judgment,
And we used to call the day of judgment a lie;
und wir erklärten stets den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
Till the Inevitable came unto us.
Till death overtook us.
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
The mediation of no mediators will avail them then.
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
Why now turn they away from the Admonishment,
What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie sich von der Ermahnung abwenden,
As if they were affrighted asses,
As they were frightened asses
As if they were asses taking fright
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
Fleeing from a lion!
Fleeing from a lion ?
That had fled from a lion?
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
Nay, but everyone of them desireth that he should be given open pages (from Allah).
Nay; every one of them desires that he may be given pages spread out;
Aber nein! Jedermann von ihnen will, daß ihm aufgeschlagene Blätter zukommen.
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
Nay, verily. They fear not the Hereafter.
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr fürchten sie nicht das Jenseits.
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
Nay, verily. Lo! this is an Admonishment.
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
Keineswegs! Er ist ja eine Erinnerung.
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
So whosoever will may heed.
So whoever pleases may mind it.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
But none will keep it in remembrance except as Allah wills: He is the Lord of Righteousness, and the Lord of Forgiveness.
And they will not heed unless Allah willeth (it). He is the fount of fear. He is the fount of Mercy.
And they will not mind unless Allah please. He is worthy to be feared and worthy to forgive.
Sie werden aber (seiner) nicht gedenken, außer daß Allah es will. Ihm gebührt die Gottesfurcht und Ihm gebührt die Vergebung.
