Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
And the day resplendent
By the day as it appears in brightness.
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
By Him Who created male and female.
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
And believeth in goodness;
And believes in Al-Husna.
und das Beste für wahr hält,
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who denies and turns away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Far removed from it will be the righteous
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
He verily will be content.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
