Was nun den Menschen angeht, wenn sein Herr ihn prüft und ihn da(bei) freigebig behandelt und ihm ein wonnevolles Leben verschafft, so sagt er: "Mein Herr behandelt mich freigebig."
Faamma alinsanu itha ma ibtalahu rabbuhu faakramahu wanaAAAAamahu fayaqoolu rabbee akramani
And as for man, when his Lord tries him, then treats him with honor and makes him lead an easy life, he says: My Lord honors me.
As for man, whenever his Lord trieth him by honouring him, and is gracious unto him, he saith: My Lord honoureth me.
Was (ihn) aber angeht, wenn Er ihn prüft und ihm da(bei) seine Versorgung bemißt, so sagt er: "Mein Herr setzt mich der Schmach aus."
Waamma itha ma ibtalahu faqadara AAalayhi rizqahu fayaqoolu rabbee ahanani
But when He tries him (differently), then straitens to him his means of subsistence, he says: My Lord has disgraced me.
But whenever He trieth him by straitening his means of life, he saith: My Lord despiseth me.
Keineswegs! Vielmehr behandelt ihr die Waise nicht freigebig
Kalla bal la tukrimoona alyateema
Nay! but you do not honor the orphan,
Nay, but ye (for your part) honour not the orphan
und haltet euch nicht gegenseitig zur Speisung des Armen an.
Wala tahaddoona AAala taAAami almiskeeni

And urge not on the feeding of the poor.
Und ihr verzehrt das Erbe, ja ihr verzehrt es ganz und gar.
Watakuloona altturatha aklan lamman
And you eat away the heritage, devouring (everything) indiscriminately,
And ye devour heritages with devouring greed.
Und ihr liebt den Besitz, ja ihr liebt ihn voll und ganz.
Watuhibboona almala hubban jamman
And you love wealth with exceeding love.
And love wealth with abounding love.
Keineswegs! Wenn die Erde eingeebnet, ja platt eingeebnet wird
Kalla itha dukkati alardu dakkan dakkan

Nay, but when the earth is ground to atoms, grinding, grinding,
und dein Herr kommt und die Engel, Reihe um Reihe,
Wajaa rabbuka waalmalaku saffan saffan
And your Lord comes and (also) the angels in ranks,
And thy Lord shall come with angels, rank on rank,
und herbeigebracht wird an jenem Tag die Hölle, an jenem Tag wird der Mensch bedenken. Wie soll ihm dann die Selbstbesinnung (nützen)?
Wajeea yawmaithin bijahannama yawmaithin yatathakkaru alinsanu waanna lahu alththikra
And hell is made to appear on that day. On that day shall man be mindful, and what shall being mindful (then) avail him?
And hell is brought near that day; on that day man will remember, but how will the remembrance (then avail him) ?
Er wird sagen: "O hätte ich doch für mein (jenseitiges) Leben (etwas) vorausgeschickt!"
Yaqoolu ya laytanee qaddamtu lihayatee
He shall say: O! would that I had sent before for (this) my life!

None bindeth as He then will bind.
O du Seele, die du Ruhe gefunden hast,
Ya ayyatuha alnnafsu almutmainnatu

But ah! thou soul at peace!
kehre zu deinem Herrn zufrieden und mit Wohlgefallen zurück.
