Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
By the day as it appears in brightness.
And the day when it shines in brightness,
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
By Him Who created male and female.
And the creating of the male and the female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
And believes in Al-Husna.
And accepts the best,
und das Beste für wahr hält,
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
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
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
And rejects the best,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Who denies and turns away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
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,
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
