Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day resplendent
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believeth in goodness;
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
He who denieth and turneth away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
He verily will be content.
