Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,

And [by] the day when it appears
And the day resplendent
By the Day as it appears in glory;
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist

And believeth in goodness;
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält

But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,

And denies the best [reward],
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And gives the lie to the best, -
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will ease him toward difficulty.

We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,

And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.

So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,

Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who had denied and turned away.
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,

Far removed from it will be the righteous
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.

Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.

He verily will be content.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
