In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
Chapter 92, 21 verses
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the day as it appears in brightness.
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By Him Who created male and female.
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in Al-Husna.
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And truly, unto Us (belong) the last (Hereafter) and the first (this world).
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who denies and turns away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
