Chapter 74, 56 verses
O thou wrapped up (in the mantle)!
O you who are clothed!
O du Zugedeckter,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّرُ
Arise and deliver thy warning!
Arise and warn,
stehe auf und warne;
قُمْ فَأَنذِرْ
And thy Lord do thou magnify!
And your Lord do magnify,
und deinen Herrn, Den preise als den Größten,
وَرَبَّكَ فَكَبِّرْ
And thy garments keep free from stain!
And your garments do purify,
und deine Gewänder, die reinige,
وَثِيَابَكَ فَطَهِّرْ
And all abomination shun!
And uncleanness do shun,
und die (Unreinheit des) Götzen(dienstes), die meide,
وَالرُّجْزَ فَاهْجُرْ
Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)!
And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase,
und halte nicht (deinen Verdienst) vor, und halte ihn nicht für zu groß,
وَلَا تَمْنُن تَسْتَكْثِرُ
But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant!
And for the sake of your Lord, be patient.
und ertrage standhaft (alles) für deinen Herrn.
وَلِرَبِّكَ فَاصْبِرْ
Finally, when the Trumpet is sounded,
For when the trumpet is sounded,
Wenn dann ins Horn gestoßen wird,
فَإِذَا نُقِرَ فِي النَّاقُورِ
That will be - that Day - a Day of Distress, -
That, at that time, shall be a difficult day,
so wird jener Tag ein schwerer Tag sein
فَذَٰلِكَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ
Far from easy for those without Faith.
For the unbelievers, anything but easy.
für die Ungläubigen nicht leicht.
عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ غَيْرُ يَسِيرٍ
Leave Me alone, (to deal) with the (creature) whom I created (bare and) alone! -
Leave Me and him whom I created alone,
Lasse Mich (allein) mit wem Ich allein erschaffen habe,
ذَرْنِي وَمَنْ خَلَقْتُ وَحِيدًا
To whom I granted resources in abundance,
And give him vast riches,
und dem Ich ausgedehnten Besitz gegeben habe
وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ مَالًا مَّمْدُودًا
And sons to be by his side! -
And sons dwelling in his presence,
und Söhne (als ständige Begleiter) anwesend
وَبَنِينَ شُهُودًا
To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable!
And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably;
und dem Ich alles schön zurechtgemacht habe;
وَمَهَّدتُّ لَهُ تَمْهِيدًا
Yet is he greedy - that I should add (yet more); -
And yet he desires that I should add more!
doch begehrt er hierauf, daß Ich (ihm) noch mehr gebe.
ثُمَّ يَطْمَعُ أَنْ أَزِيدَ
By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory!
By no means! surely he offers opposition to Our communications.
Keineswegs! Er ist gegen Unsere Zeichen wiederholt widerspenstig gewesen.
كَلَّا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لِآيَاتِنَا عَنِيدًا
Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities!
I will make a distressing punishment overtake him.
Ich werde ihn mit Beschwerlichem bedrücken.
سَأُرْهِقُهُ صَعُودًا
For he thought and he plotted; -
Surely he reflected and guessed,
Er hat ja nachgedacht und abgewogen.
إِنَّهُ فَكَّرَ وَقَدَّرَ
And woe to him! How he plotted! -
But may he be cursed how he plotted;
Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
فَقُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted! -
Again, may he be cursed how he plotted;
Abermals: Tod ihm, wie er abgewogen hat!
ثُمَّ قُتِلَ كَيْفَ قَدَّرَ
Then he looked round;
Then he looked,
Hierauf hat er geschaut,
ثُمَّ نَظَرَ
Then he frowned and he scowled;
Then he frowned and scowled,
hierauf hat er düster geblickt und ein finsteres Gesicht gemacht,
ثُمَّ عَبَسَ وَبَسَرَ
Then he turned back and was haughty;
Then he turned back and was big with pride,
hierauf hat er den Rücken gekehrt und ist hochmütig geblieben.
ثُمَّ أَدْبَرَ وَاسْتَكْبَرَ
Then said he: "This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;
~Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others);
Er sagt: "Das ist nur Zauberei, die überliefert wird.
فَقَالَ إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا سِحْرٌ يُؤْثَرُ
"This is nothing but the word of a mortal!"
This is naught but the word of a mortal.
Das sind nur die Worte von Menschenwesen."
إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا قَوْلُ الْبَشَرِ
Soon will I cast him into Hell - Fire!
I will cast him into hell.
Ich werde ihn der Saqar aussetzen.
سَأُصْلِيهِ سَقَرَ
And what will explain to thee what Hell - Fire is?
And what will make you realize what hell is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Saqar ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا سَقَرُ
Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! -
It leaves naught nor does it spare aught.
Sie läßt nichts übrig und läßt nichts bestehen.
لَا تُبْقِي وَلَا تَذَرُ
Darkening and changing the colour of man!
It scorches the mortal.
Sie verändert die Menschen ganz.
لَوَّاحَةٌ لِّلْبَشَرِ
Over it are Nineteen.
Over it are nineteen.
Über ihr gibt es neunzehn (Wächter).
عَلَيْهَا تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ
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.
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.
وَمَا جَعَلْنَا أَصْحَابَ النَّارِ إِلَّا مَلَائِكَةً ۙ وَمَا جَعَلْنَا عِدَّتَهُمْ إِلَّا فِتْنَةً لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِيَسْتَيْقِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَيَزْدَادَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِيمَانًا ۙ وَلَا يَرْتَابَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۙ وَلِيَقُولَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ وَالْكَافِرُونَ مَاذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَٰذَا مَثَلًا ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ جُنُودَ رَبِّكَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۚ وَمَا هِيَ إِلَّا ذِكْرَىٰ لِلْبَشَرِ
Nay, verily: By the Moon,
Nay; I swear by the moon,
Keineswegs! Beim Mond
كَلَّا وَالْقَمَرِ
And by the Night as it retreateth,
And the night when it departs,
und (bei) der Nacht, wenn sie den Rücken kehrt,
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذْ أَدْبَرَ
And by the Dawn as it shineth forth, -
And the daybreak when it shines;
und (bei) dem Morgen, wenn er erstrahlt,
وَالصُّبْحِ إِذَا أَسْفَرَ
This is but one of the mighty (portents),
Surely it (hell) is one of the gravest (misfortunes),
sie ist wahrlich eine der größten (Heimsuchungen)
إِنَّهَا لَإِحْدَى الْكُبَرِ
A warning to mankind, -
A warning to mortals,
zur Warnung für die Menschenwesen,
نَذِيرًا لِّلْبَشَرِ
To any of you that chooses to press forward, or to follow behind; -
To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind.
für jemanden von euch, der vorankommen oder zurückbleiben will.
لِمَن شَاءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَتَقَدَّمَ أَوْ يَتَأَخَّرَ
Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds.
Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns,
Jede Seele haftet für das, was sie erworben hat,
كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ رَهِينَةٌ
Except the Companions of the Right Hand.
Except the people of the right hand,
außerdem die Gefährten von der rechten Seite;
إِلَّا أَصْحَابَ الْيَمِينِ
(They will be) in Gardens (of Delight): they will question each other,
In gardens, they shall ask each other
sie werden sich in Gärten befinden, und sie werden einander fragen
فِي جَنَّاتٍ يَتَسَاءَلُونَ
And (ask) of the Sinners:
About the guilty:
nach den Übeltätern:
عَنِ الْمُجْرِمِينَ
"What led you into Hell Fire?"
What has brought you into hell?
Was hat euch in Saqar geführt?
مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ
They will say: "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,
قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ
"Nor were we of those who fed the indigent;
And we used not to feed the poor;
und wir pflegten nicht den Armen zu speisen,
وَلَمْ نَكُ نُطْعِمُ الْمِسْكِينَ
"But we used to talk vanities with vain talkers;
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,
وَكُنَّا نَخُوضُ مَعَ الْخَائِضِينَ
"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
وَكُنَّا نُكَذِّبُ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
"Until there came to us (the Hour) that is certain."
Till death overtook us.
bis die Gewißheit zu uns kam."
حَتَّىٰ أَتَانَا الْيَقِينُ
Then will no intercession of (any) intercessors profit them.
So the intercession of intercessors shall not avail them.
Nun nützt ihnen die Fürsprache derjenigen nicht, die Fürsprache einlegen (können).
فَمَا تَنفَعُهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ
Then what is the matter with them that they turn away from admonition? -
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,
فَمَا لَهُمْ عَنِ التَّذْكِرَةِ مُعْرِضِينَ
As if they were affrighted asses,
As if they were asses taking fright
als wären sie aufgeschreckte Wildesel,
كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُّسْتَنفِرَةٌ
Fleeing from a lion!
That had fled from a lion?
die vor einem Löwen fliehen?
فَرَّتْ مِن قَسْوَرَةٍ
Forsooth, each one of them wants to be given scrolls (of revelation) spread out!
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.
بَلْ يُرِيدُ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِّنْهُمْ أَن يُؤْتَىٰ صُحُفًا مُّنَشَّرَةً
By no means! But they fear not the Hereafter,
Nay! but they do not fear the hereafter.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr fürchten sie nicht das Jenseits.
كَلَّا ۖ بَل لَّا يَخَافُونَ الْآخِرَةَ
Nay, this surely is an admonition:
Nay! it is surely an admonition.
Keineswegs! Er ist ja eine Erinnerung.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُ تَذْكِرَةٌ
Let any who will, keep it in remembrance!
So whoever pleases may mind it.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
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 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.
وَمَا يَذْكُرُونَ إِلَّا أَن يَشَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ هُوَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَىٰ وَأَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
