Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
And the day when it shines in brightness,
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
And accepts the best,
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And rejects the best,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
He verily will be content.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
