Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And gives the lie to the best, -
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
