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