und der Nacht und dem, was sie zusammentreibt,
And by the night and all that it enshroudeth,
The Night and its Homing;
And the night and that which it drives on,
und dem Mond, wenn er voll geworden ist.

Was ist denn mit ihnen, daß sie nicht glauben

So verkünde ihnen schmerzhafte Strafe,
So give them tidings of a painful doom,
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,
So announce to them a painful punishment~
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
