Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
By the night when it covers
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And [by] the day when it appears
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
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 he who gives and fears Allah
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believes in the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will ease him toward 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 he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And denies the best [reward],
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will ease him toward difficulty.
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?
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is 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 indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who had denied and turned away.
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
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 not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
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.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he is going to be satisfied.
