Chapter 92, 21 verses
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Waallayli itha yaghsha
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day when it shines in brightness,
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
And the day resplendent
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And the creating of the male and the female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And accepts the best,
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
And believeth in goodness;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
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),
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And rejects the best,
Wakaththaba bialhusna
And disbelieveth in goodness;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
La yaslaha illa alashqa
Which only the most wretched must endure,
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
He who denieth and turneth away.
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Far removed from it will be the righteous
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
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,
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Walasawfa yarda
He verily will be content.
