إِذَا ٱلشَّمْسُ كُوِّرَتْ

And when the mountains are removed
und wenn die Berge versetzt werden
وَإِذَا ٱلْجِبَالُ سُيِّرَتْ

And when the girl [who was] buried alive is asked
und wenn das lebendig begrabene Mädchen gefragt wird,
وَإِذَا ٱلْمَوْءُۥدَةُ سُئِلَتْ
For what crime she was killed;
For what sin she was killed
wegen welcher Sünde es getötet wurde,
بِأَىِّ ذَنۢبٍ قُتِلَتْ
When the scrolls are laid open;
And when the pages are made public
und wenn die Blätter aufgeschlagen werden
وَإِذَا ٱلصُّحُفُ نُشِرَتْ

A soul will [then] know what it has brought [with it].

عَلِمَتْ نَفْسٌ مَّآ أَحْضَرَتْ
So verily I call to witness the planets - that recede,
So I swear by the retreating stars -
Nein! Ich schwöre bei den sich Verbergenden,
فَلَآ أُقْسِمُ بِٱلْخُنَّسِ
Go straight, or hide;
Those that run [their courses] and disappear -
den Dahinziehenden und sich wieder Zeigenden
ٱلْجَوَارِ ٱلْكُنَّسِ
And the Night as it dissipates;
And by the night as it closes in
und bei der Nacht, wenn sie anbricht,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا عَسْعَسَ
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness; -
And by the dawn when it breathes
und bei dem Morgen, wenn er Atem schöpft:
وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَا تَنَفَّسَ
Verily this is the word of a most honourable Messenger,
[That] indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a noble messenger
Dies sind wahrlich die Worte eines edlen Gesandten,
إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ
Endued with Power, with rank before the Lord of the Throne,
[Who is] possessed of power and with the Owner of the Throne, secure [in position],
Besitzer von Kraft und beim Herrn des Thrones in Ansehen,
ذِى قُوَّةٍ عِندَ ذِى ٱلْعَرْشِ مَكِينٍ
With authority there, (and) faithful to his trust.
Obeyed there [in the heavens] and trustworthy.
dem man dort gehorcht und (der) vertrauenswürdig (ist).
مُّطَاعٍ ثَمَّ أَمِينٍ
And (O people!) your companion is not one possessed;
And your companion is not [at all] mad.
Und euer Gefährte ist kein Besessener.
وَمَا صَاحِبُكُم بِمَجْنُونٍ
And without doubt he saw him in the clear horizon.
And he has already seen Gabriel in the clear horizon.
Er hat ihn ja am deutlichen Gesichtskreis gesehen,
وَلَقَدْ رَءَاهُ بِٱلْأُفُقِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Neither doth he withhold grudgingly a knowledge of the Unseen.
And Muhammad is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen.
und er hält nicht aus Geiz das Verborgene zurück.
وَمَا هُوَ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ بِضَنِينٍ
Nor is it the word of an evil spirit accursed.
And the Qur'an is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens].
Und es sind nicht die Worte eines gesteinigten Satans.
وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوْلِ شَيْطَٰنٍ رَّجِيمٍ
When whither go ye?
So where are you going?
Wo geht ihr denn hin?
فَأَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ
Verily this is no less than a Message to (all) the Worlds:
It is not except a reminder to the worlds
Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner,
إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعَٰلَمِينَ
(With profit) to whoever among you wills to go straight:
For whoever wills among you to take a right course.
für jemanden von euch, der sich recht verhalten will.
لِمَن شَآءَ مِنكُمْ أَن يَسْتَقِيمَ
But ye shall not will except as Allah wills, - the Cherisher of the Worlds.
And you do not will except that Allah wills - Lord of the worlds.
Und ihr könnt nicht wollen, außer daß Allah will, (Er), der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
وَمَا تَشَآءُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ رَبُّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
