In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I swear by this city (Makkah);
Nein, Ich schwöre bei dieser Ortschaft
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا أُقْسِمُ بِهَٰذَا الْبَلَدِ

وَوَالِدٍ وَمَا وَلَدَ

Does he think that none sees him?
Meint er etwa, daß niemand ihn gesehen hat?
أَيَحْسَبُ أَن لَّمْ يَرَهُ أَحَدٌ

أَلَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ عَيْنَيْنِ
And a tongue and two lips?
eine Zunge und zwei Lippen
وَلِسَانًا وَشَفَتَيْنِ
And shown him the two ways (good and evil)?
und ihn beide Hochebenen geleitet?
وَهَدَيْنَاهُ النَّجْدَيْنِ
But he has not attempted to pass on the path that is steep (i.e. the path which will lead to goodness and success).
Aber er ist nicht den steilen Paßweg hinaufgestürmt.
فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ
And what will make you know the path that is steep?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was der steile Paßweg ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْعَقَبَةُ
(It is) freeing a neck (slave)
(Es ist) die Freilassung eines Sklaven10
فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ
Or giving food in a day of hunger (famine),

أَوْ إِطْعَامٌ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ

Then he became one of those who believed (in the Islamic Monotheism) and recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion.
Und daß man hierauf zu denjenigen gehört, die glauben, einander die Standhaftigkeit eindringlich empfehlen und einander die Barmherzigkeit eindringlich empfehlen.

They are those on the Right Hand (i.e. the dwellers of Paradise),
Das sind die Gefährten der rechten Seite.
أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ
But those who disbelieved in Our Ayat (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), they are those on the Left Hand (the dwellers of Hell).
Diejenigen aber, die Unsere Zeichen verleugnen, sie sind die Gefährten der unglückseligen Seite.
وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِنَا هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ
