In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
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,
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the day as it appears in brightness.
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By Him Who created male and female.
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (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
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in Al-Husna.
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
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?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
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 most surely Ours is the hereafter 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,
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who denies and turns away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
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,
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
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 no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
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 the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
