Chapter 84, 25 verses
When the sky is rent asunder,
Wenn der Himmel sich spaltet
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ
And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -
und auf seinen Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für ihn -,
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
And when the earth is flattened out,
und wenn die Erde ausgedehnt wird
And when the earth is stretched forth,
وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ
And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,
und herauswirft, was in ihr ist, und sich entleert
And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.
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).
und auf ihren Herrn hört - und es ist ja rechtens für sie ...
And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.
وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ
O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.
O du Mensch, du mühst dich hart zu deinem Herrn hin, und so wirst du Ihm begegnen.
O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ إِنَّكَ كَادِحٌ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكَ كَدْحًا فَمُلَٰقِيهِ
Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dem dann sein Buch in seine Rechte gegeben wird.
Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ بِيَمِينِهِۦ
Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,
He surely will receive an easy reckoning,
فَسَوْفَ يُحَاسَبُ حِسَابًا يَسِيرًا
And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!
und er wird erfreut zu seinen Angehörigen zurückkehren.
And will return to his family in joy!
وَيَنقَلِبُ إِلَىٰٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
But he who is given his Record behind his back, -
Was aber jemanden angeht, dem sein Buch hinter seinem Rücken gegeben wird,
But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ أُوتِىَ كِتَٰبَهُۥ وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِۦ
Soon will he cry for perdition,
der wird nach Vernichtung rufen
He will invoke (for his) destruction,
فَسَوْفَ يَدْعُوا۟ ثُبُورًا
And he will enter a Blazing Fire.
und der Feuerglut ausgesetzt sein.
And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.
وَيَصْلَىٰ سَعِيرًا
Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!
Er war ja froh inmitten seiner Angehörigen.
Verily, he was among his people in joy!
إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فِىٓ أَهْلِهِۦ مَسْرُورًا
Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!
Er meinte ja, daß er nicht zurückkehren würde.
Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!
إِنَّهُۥ ظَنَّ أَن لَّن يَحُورَ
Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!
Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!
بَلَىٰٓ إِنَّ رَبَّهُۥ كَانَ بِهِۦ بَصِيرًا
So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;
Nein! Ich schwöre beim Abendrot
So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلشَّفَقِ
The Night and its Homing;
und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,
وَٱلَّيْلِ وَمَا وَسَقَ
And the Moon in her fullness:
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.
And by the moon when it is at the full.
وَٱلْقَمَرِ إِذَا ٱتَّسَقَ
Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.
Ihr werdet eine Schicht nach der anderen besteigen.
You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقًا عَن طَبَقٍ
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -
Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben

وَإِذَا قُرِئَ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْقُرْءَانُ لَا يَسْجُدُونَ
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).
Aber nein! Diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, erklären (ihn) für Lüge.
Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).
بَلِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ يُكَذِّبُونَ
But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),
وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا يُوعُونَ
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So announce to them a painful torment.
فَبَشِّرْهُم بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍۭ
