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