Chapter 51, 60 verses
By the (Winds) that scatter broadcast;
I swear by the wind that scatters far and wide,
Bei den heftig Zerstreuenden,
وَٱلذَّٰرِيَٰتِ ذَرْوًا
And those that lift and bear away heavy weights;
Then those clouds bearing the load (of minute things in space).
dann den eine Last Tragenden,
فَٱلْحَٰمِلَٰتِ وِقْرًا
And those that flow with ease and gentleness;
Then those (ships) that glide easily,

فَٱلْجَٰرِيَٰتِ يُسْرًا
And those that distribute and apportion by Command; -
Then those (angels who) distribute blessings by Our command;

What you are threatened with is most surely true,
sicherlich, was euch angedroht wird, ist wahr,
إِنَّمَا تُوعَدُونَ لَصَادِقٌ
And verily Judgment and Justice must indeed come to pass.
And the judgment must most surely come about.

By the Sky with (its) numerous Paths,
I swear by the heaven full of ways.
Beim Himmel in seiner Vollkommenheit;
وَٱلسَّمَآءِ ذَاتِ ٱلْحُبُكِ
Truly ye are in a doctrine discordant,
Most surely you are at variance with each other in what you say,
ihr äußert fürwahr unterschiedliche Reden.
إِنَّكُمْ لَفِى قَوْلٍ مُّخْتَلِفٍ
Through which are deluded (away from the Truth) such as would be deluded.

قُتِلَ ٱلْخَرَّٰصُونَ
Those who (flounder) heedless in a flood of confusion:
Who are in a gulf (of ignorance) neglectful;
die in Versenkung zerstreut sind.

They ask, "When will be the Day of Judgment and Justice?"

But they revolted against the commandment of their Lord, so the rumbling overtook them while they saw.
Sie lehnten sich gegen den Befehl ihres Herrn auf. Da ergriff sie der Donnerschlag, während sie hinschauten,
فَعَتَوْا۟ عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ ٱلصَّٰعِقَةُ وَهُمْ يَنظُرُونَ

So were the People of Noah before them for they wickedly transgressed.
And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people.
Und (Wir vernichteten) zuvor (auch) das Volk Nuhs; gewiß, sie waren ein Volk von Frevlern.
وَقَوْمَ نُوحٍ مِّن قَبْلُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا فَٰسِقِينَ

Hasten ye then (at once) to Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
Therefore fly to Allah, surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.
So flüchtet (nun) zu Allah. Gewiß, ich bin euch von Ihm ein deutlicher Warner.
فَفِرُّوٓا۟ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
And make not another an object of worship with Allah: I am from Him a Warner to you, clear and open!
And do not set up with Allah another god: surely I am a plain warner to you from Him.

وَلَا تَجْعَلُوا۟ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَٰهًا ءَاخَرَ إِنِّى لَكُم مِّنْهُ نَذِيرٌ مُّبِينٌ
Similarly, no messenger came to the Peoples before them, but they said (of him) in like manner, "A sorcerer, or one possessed"!
Thus there did not come to those before them an apostle but they said: A magician or a mad man.
So kam auch zu denjenigen, die vor ihnen waren, kein Gesandter, ohne daß sie gesagt hätten: "Ein Zauberer oder ein Besessener."
كَذَٰلِكَ مَآ أَتَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِم مِّن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا۟ سَاحِرٌ أَوْ مَجْنُونٌ
Is this the legacy they have transmitted, one to another? Nay, they are themselves a people transgressing beyond bounds!
Have they charged each other with this? Nay! they are an inordinate people.
Haben sie es denn einander eindringlich empfohlen? Nein! Vielmehr sind sie ein das Maß (an Frevel) überschreitendes Volk.
أَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِهِۦ بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ طَاغُونَ
So turn away from them: not thine is the blame.
Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame;
So kehre dich von ihnen ab; du bist (hierin) nicht zu tadeln.
فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ فَمَآ أَنتَ بِمَلُومٍ
But teach (thy Message) for teaching benefits the Believers.
And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers.
Und ermahne, denn die Ermahnung nützt den Gläubigen.
وَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
And I have not created the jinn and the men except that they should serve Me.
Und Ich habe die Ginn und die Menschen nur (dazu) erschaffen, damit sie Mir dienen.
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ ٱلْجِنَّ وَٱلْإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
No Sustenance do I require of them, nor do I require that they should feed Me.
I do not desire from them any sustenance and I do not desire that they should feed Me.
Ich will weder von ihnen irgendeine Versorgung, noch will Ich, daß sie Mir zu essen geben.
مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنْهُم مِّن رِّزْقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطْعِمُونِ
For Allah is He Who gives (all) Sustenance, - Lord of Power, - Steadfast (for ever).
Surely Allah is the Bestower of sustenance, the Lord of Power, the Strong.
Gewiß, Allah ist der Versorger, der Besitzer von Kraft und der Feste .
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلْقُوَّةِ ٱلْمَتِينُ
For the Wrong - doers, their portion is like unto the portion of their fellows (of earlier generations): then let them not ask Me to hasten (that portion)!
So surely those who are unjust shall have a portion like the portion of their companions, therefore let them not ask Me to hasten on.
Gewiß, für diejenigen, die Unrecht tun, wird es einen vorgesehenen Anteil geben wie den Anteil ihrer Gefährten; so sollen sie Mich nicht um Beschleunigung (der Strafe) bitten.
فَإِنَّ لِلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ ذَنُوبًا مِّثْلَ ذَنُوبِ أَصْحَٰبِهِمْ فَلَا يَسْتَعْجِلُونِ
Woe, then, to the Unbelievers, on account of that Day of theirs which they have been promised!
Therefore woe to those who disbelieve because of their day which they are threatened with.
So wehe denjenigen, die ungläubig sind, vor ihrem Tag, der ihnen angedroht ist!
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ مِن يَوْمِهِمُ ٱلَّذِى يُوعَدُونَ
