Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And when the earth is flattened out,
And when the earth is spread out
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
And will return unto his folk in joy.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
He surely will invoke destruction
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
The Night and its Homing;
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And the Moon in her fullness:
And by the moon when she is at the full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
