Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
When the heaven bursts asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is flattened out,
And when the earth is stretched,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
And casts forth what is in it and becomes empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
And obeys its Lord and it must.
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
O man! surely you must strive (to attain) to your Lord, a hard striving until you meet Him.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Then as to him who is given his book in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
He shall be reckoned with by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
And he shall go back to his people joyful.
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
And as to him who is given his book behind his back,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
Soon will he cry for perdition,
He shall call for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
And enter into burning fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Surely he was (erstwhile) joyful among his followers.
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Surely he thought that he would never return.
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Yea! surely his Lord does ever see him.
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
But nay! I swear by the sunset redness,
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
The Night and its Homing;
And the night and that which it drives on,
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the Moon in her fullness:
And the moon when it grows full,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
That you shall most certainly enter one state after another.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
But what is the matter with them that they do not believe,
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
فَمَا لَهُمْ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
And when the Quran is recited to them they do not make obeisance?
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Nay! those who disbelieve give the lie to the truth.
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
And Allah knows best what they hide,
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Except those who believe and do good; for them is a reward that shall never be cut off.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
