Chapter 92, 21 verses
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
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 glory;
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And the creating of the male and the female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of 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).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And accepts the best,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
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 a 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 gives the lie to the best, -
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
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,
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
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 those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Those who spend their 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 have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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 the desire to seek for the Countenance of their 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 soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
