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