Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the night when it covers
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And the day when it shines in brightness,
And [by] the day when it appears
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
And [by] He who created the 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).
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
And believes in the best [reward],
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will ease him toward ease.
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 as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And rejects the best,
And denies the best [reward],
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will ease him toward difficulty.
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 falls?
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,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who had denied and turned 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),
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
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 not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
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.
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, 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.
And he is going to be satisfied.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
