I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the day as it appears in brightness.
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
By Him Who created male and female.
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
And believes in Al-Husna.
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who denies and turns away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
