Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
By the night when it covers
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And [by] the day when it appears
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And [by] He who created the male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
As for he who gives and fears Allah
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believes in the best [reward],
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will ease him toward ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And denies the best [reward],
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will ease him toward difficulty.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Which only the most wretched must endure,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who had denied and turned away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
But the righteous one will avoid it -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
He verily will be content.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he is going to be satisfied.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
