Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
Itha alssamao inshaqqat
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And attentive to her Lord in fear,
And when the earth is flattened out,
Waitha alardu muddat
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is spread out
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
Waalqat ma feeha watakhallat
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And hath cast out all that was in her, and is empty
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).
Waathinat lirabbiha wahuqqat
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And attentive to her Lord in fear!
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
Ya ayyuha alinsanu innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqeehi
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
Thou, verily, O man, art working toward thy Lord a work which thou wilt meet (in His presence).
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Then whoso is given his account in his right hand
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
Fasawfa yuhasabu hisaban yaseeran
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He truly will receive an easy reckoning
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
Wayanqalibu ila ahlihi masrooran
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And will return unto his folk in joy.
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Waamma man ootiya kitabahu waraa thahrihi
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
But whoso is given his account behind his back,
Soon will he cry for perdition,
Fasawfa yadAAoo thubooran
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He surely will invoke destruction
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
Wayasla saAAeeran
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And be thrown to scorching fire.
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Innahu kana fee ahlihi masrooran
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
He verily lived joyous with his folk,
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Innahu thanna an lan yahoora
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
He verily deemed that he would never return (unto Allah).
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Bala inna rabbahu kana bihi baseeran
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Nay, but lo! his Lord is ever looking on him!
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Fala oqsimu bialshshafaqi
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
Oh, I swear by the afterglow of sunset,
The Night and its Homing;
Waallayli wama wasaqa
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
And the Moon in her fullness:
Waalqamari itha ittasaqa
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And by the moon when she is at the full,
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Latarkabunna tabaqan AAan tabaqin
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
That ye shall journey on from plane to plane.
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
Fama lahum la yuminoona
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben
What aileth them, then, that they believe not
And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,
Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona
und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
And, when the Qur'an is recited unto them, worship not (Allah) ?
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Nay, but those who disbelieve will deny;
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
WaAllahu aAAlamu bima yooAAoona
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
And Allah knoweth best what they are hiding.
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Save those who believe and do good works, for theirs is a reward unfailing.
