Chapter 93, 11 verses
Bei der Morgenhelle
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
I swear by the early hours of the day,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
und der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) umhüllt!
And by the night when it is stillest,
And the night when it covers with darkness.
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Dein Herr hat sich weder von dir verabschiedet noch haßt Er (dich).
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Und das Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für dich als das Diesseits.
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Und dein Herr wird dir wahrlich geben, und dann wirst du zufrieden sein.
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Hat Er dich nicht als Waise gefunden und (dir) dann Zuflucht verschafft
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
und dich irregehend gefunden und dann rechtgeleitet
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
und dich arm gefunden und dann reich gemacht?
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Was nun die Waise angeht, so unterjoche (sie) nicht,
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
und was den Bettler angeht, so fahre (ihn) nicht an,
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
und was die Gunst deines Herrn angeht, so erzähle (davon).
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
