Chapter 83, 36 verses
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
Woe to the defrauders,
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
Do not these think that they shall be raised again
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
On a Mighty Day,
For a mighty day,
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
A Day when (all) mankind will stand before the Lord of the Worlds?
The day on which men shall stand before the Lord of the worlds?
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلنَّاسُ لِرَبِّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
Nay! Surely the record of the wicked is (preserved) in Sijjin.
Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjin.
Keineswegs! Das Buch der Sittenlosen ist wahrlich in Siggin.
كَلَّآ إِنَّ كِتَٰبَ ٱلْفُجَّارِ لَفِى سِجِّينٍ
And what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
And what will make you know what the Sijjin is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was Siggin ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا سِجِّينٌ
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed.
It is a written book.
(Es ist) ein Buch mit festen Eintragungen.
كِتَٰبٌ مَّرْقُومٌ
Woe, that Day, to those that deny -
Woe on that day to the rejecters,
Wehe an jenem Tag den Leugnern,
وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِّلْمُكَذِّبِينَ
Those that deny the Day of Judgment.
Who give the lie to the day of judgment.
die den Tag des Gerichts für Lüge erklären!
ٱلَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ ٱلدِّينِ
And none can deny it but the Transgressor beyond bounds the Sinner!
And none gives the lie to it but every exceeder of limits, sinful one
Und nur derjenige erklärt ihn für Lüge, der Übertretungen begeht und ein Sünder ist.
وَمَا يُكَذِّبُ بِهِۦٓ إِلَّا كُلُّ مُعْتَدٍ أَثِيمٍ
When Our Signs are rehearsed to him, he says, "Tales of the ancients!"
When Our communications are recited to him, he says: Stories of those of yore.
Wenn ihm Unsere Zeichen verlesen werden, sagt er: "(Es sind) Fabeln der Früheren."
إِذَا تُتْلَىٰ عَلَيْهِ ءَايَٰتُنَا قَالَ أَسَٰطِيرُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
By no means! but on their hearts is the stain of the (ill) which they do!
Nay! rather, what they used to do has become like rust upon their hearts.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr hat sich das, was sie zu erwerben pflegten, über ihren Herzen angesetzt.
كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَىٰ قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
Verily, from (the Light of) their Lord, that Day, will they be veiled.
Nay! most surely they shall on that day be debarred from their Lord.
Keineswegs! Sie werden von ihrem Herrn an jenem Tag bestimmt abgeschirmt sein.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهُمْ عَن رَّبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَّمَحْجُوبُونَ
Further, they will enter the Fire of Hell.
Then most surely they shall enter the burning fire.
Hierauf werden sie bestimmt dem Höllenbrand ausgesetzt sein.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ لَصَالُوا۟ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Further, it will be said to them: "This is the (reality) which ye rejected as false!
Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى كُنتُم بِهِۦ تُكَذِّبُونَ
Nay, verily the record of the Righteous is (preserved) in 'Illiyin.

And what will explain to thee what 'Illiyun is?
And what will make you know what the highest Iliyin is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was 'Illiyyun ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا عِلِّيُّونَ
(There is) a Register (fully) inscribed,
It is a written book,

يَشْهَدُهُ ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ

The sealing of it is (with) musk; and for that let the aspirers aspire.
dessen Siegel Moschus ist -, und darum sollen die Wettbewerber wettkämpfen -,
خِتَٰمُهُۥ مِسْكٌ وَفِى ذَٰلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ ٱلْمُتَنَٰفِسُونَ
With it will be (given) a mixture of Tasnim:
And the admixture of it is a water of Tasnim,

A fountain from which drink they who are drawn near (to Allah).
aus einer Quelle, aus der die (Allah) Nahegestellten trinken.
عَيْنًا يَشْرَبُ بِهَا ٱلْمُقَرَّبُونَ
Those in sin used to laugh at those who believed,
Surely they who are guilty used to laugh at those who believe.
Gewiß, diejenigen, die Übeltaten begingen, pflegten über diejenigen zu lachen, die glauben,
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
And whenever they passed by them, used to wink at each other (in mockery);
And when they passed by them, they winked at one another.
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.
وَإِذَا مَرُّوا۟ بِهِمْ يَتَغَامَزُونَ
And when they returned to their own people, they would return jesting;
And when they returned to their own followers they returned exulting.
Und, wenn sie zu ihren Angehörigen zurückkehrten, kehrten sie zurück, indem sie es sich wohl sein ließen.
وَإِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِمُ ٱنقَلَبُوا۟ فَكِهِينَ
And whenever they saw them, they would say, "Behold! These are the people truly astray!"
And when they saw them, they said: Most surely these are in error;
Und, wenn sie sie sahen, sagten sie: "Diese gehen fürwahr in die Irre."
وَإِذَا رَأَوْهُمْ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَضَآلُّونَ
But they had not been sent as keepers over them!
And they were not sent to be keepers over them.
Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
وَمَآ أُرْسِلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِمْ حَٰفِظِينَ
But on this Day the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
So today those who believe shall laugh at the unbelievers;
Heute aber lachen diejenigen, die glauben, über die Ungläubigen,
