Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day resplendent
By the Day as it appears in glory;
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And Him Who hath created male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of 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).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believeth in goodness;
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And gives the lie to the best, -
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
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
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
Far removed from it will be the righteous
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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 the desire to seek for the Countenance of their 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 soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
