In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
Er blickte düster und kehrte sich ab,
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

أن جاءه الأعمى
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
weil der Blinde zu ihm kam.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)?
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him?
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
oder bedenkt, so daß ihm die Ermahnung nützt.

As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
أما من استغنى
As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,

To him you attend;
فأنت له تصدى
To him dost thou attend;
so widmest du dich ihm,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
وما عليك ألا يزكى
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
obgleich es dich nicht zu kümmern hat, daß er sich nicht läutern will.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as to him who came to you running,
وأما من جاءك يسعى

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,
فأنت عنه تلهى
Of him wast thou unmindful.
von dem läßt du dich ablenken.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an admonition.
كلا إنها تذكرة
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
Keineswegs! Gewiß, es ist eine Erinnerung.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.
فمن شاء ذكره
