Chapter 79, 46 verses
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence;
By those [angels] who extract with violence
Bei den mit Heftigkeit Entreißenden
By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed);
And [by] those who remove with ease
und den leicht Herausziehenden
And by those who glide along (on errands of mercy),
And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming
und den unbeschwert Dahingleitenden,
Then press forward as in a race,
And those who race each other in a race
den allem Vorauseilenden,
Then arrange to do (the Commands of their Lord),
And those who arrange [each] matter,
den eine Angelegenheit Regelnden!
One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion,
On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation],
Am Tag, da das Zittern einsetzt
Followed by oft - repeated (commotions):
There will follow it the subsequent [one].
und das nächste hinterherfolgt,
Hearts that Day will be in agitation;
Hearts, that Day, will tremble,
(gewisse) Herzen werden an jenem Tag beunruhigt klopfen,
Cast down will be (their owners') eyes.
Their eyes humbled.
und ihre Blicke werden demütig sein.

"What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?"
Even if we should be decayed bones?
Wenn wir zu verrotteten Knochen geworden sind?"
They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!"
They say, "That, then, would be a losing return."
Sie sagen: "Das wäre dann eine verlustreiche Wiederkehr."
But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry,
Indeed, it will be but one shout,
Es wird nur ein einziger erschreckender Schrei sein,

And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface.
und sogleich sind sie auf der Oberfläche.

When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa,

"And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)? -

But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life.
So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression].

And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!
It will be, on the Day they see it, as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an afternoon or a morning thereof.
Am Tag, da sie sie sehen, wird ihnen sein, als hätten sie nur einen Nachmittag verweilt oder seinen (dazugehörigen) Vormittag
