Chapter 93, 11 verses
Bei der Morgenhelle
I swear by the early hours of the day,
By the Glorious Morning Light,
وَٱلضُّحَىٰ
und der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) umhüllt!
And the night when it covers with darkness.
And by the Night when it is still, -
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
Dein Herr hat sich weder von dir verabschiedet noch haßt Er (dich).
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Und das Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für dich als das Diesseits.
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
وَلَلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
Und dein Herr wird dir wahrlich geben, und dann wirst du zufrieden sein.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰٓ
Hat Er dich nicht als Waise gefunden und (dir) dann Zuflucht verschafft
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَـَٔاوَىٰ
und dich irregehend gefunden und dann rechtgeleitet
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَآلًّا فَهَدَىٰ
und dich arm gefunden und dann reich gemacht?
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
وَوَجَدَكَ عَآئِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Was nun die Waise angeht, so unterjoche (sie) nicht,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
فَأَمَّا ٱلْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
und was den Bettler angeht, so fahre (ihn) nicht an,
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
وَأَمَّا ٱلسَّآئِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
und was die Gunst deines Herrn angeht, so erzähle (davon).
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
