Chapter 87, 19 verses
Preise den Namen deines höchsten Herrn,
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,
Glorify the name of your Lord, the Most High,
سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
Who created and proportioned
Who creates, then makes complete,
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
And who destined and [then] guided
And Who makes (things) according to a measure, then guides (them to their goal),
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
And who brings out the pasture
And Who brings forth herbage,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
und sie dann zu dunkelbrauner Spreu macht.
And [then] makes it black stubble.
Then makes it dried up, dust - colored.
فَجَعَلَهُۥ غُثَآءً أَحْوَىٰ
Wir werden dich lesen lassen, und dann wirst du nichts vergessen,
We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
We will make you recite so you shall not forget,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰٓ
außer dem, was Allah will. Er weiß ja, was laut vernehmbar geäußert wird und was verborgen bleibt.
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
Except what Allah pleases, surely He knows the manifest, and what is hidden.
إِلَّا مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ إِنَّهُۥ يَعْلَمُ ٱلْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ
Und Wir werden dir den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
And We will ease you toward ease.
And We will make your way smooth to a state of ease.
وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
So ermahne -, wenn die Ermahnung nützt.
So remind, if the reminder should benefit;
Therefore do remind, surely reminding does profit.
فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
He who fears will mind,
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,
But the wretched one will avoid it -
And the most unfortunate one will avoid it,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
der dem größten (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein wird;
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
Who shall enter the great fire;
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.
Neither dying therein nor living.
Then therein he shall neither live nor die.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sich läutert,
He has certainly succeeded who purifies himself
He indeed shall be who purifies himself,
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
und des Namens seines Herrn gedenkt; so betet er.
And mentions the name of his Lord and prays.
And magnifies the name of his Lord and prays.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Nein! Vielmehr zieht ihr das diesseitige Leben vor,
But you prefer the worldly life,
Nay! you prefer the life of this world,
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ ٱلْحَيَوٰةَ ٱلدُّنْيَا
während das Jenseits besser und beständiger ist.
While the Hereafter is better and more enduring.
While the hereafter is better and more lasting.
وَٱلْءَاخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰٓ
Dies ist wahrlich in den früheren Blättern (enthalten),
Indeed, this is in the former scriptures,
Most surely this is in the earlier scriptures,
إِنَّ هَٰذَا لَفِى ٱلصُّحُفِ ٱلْأُولَىٰ
den Blättern Ibrahims und Musas.
The scriptures of Abraham and Moses.
The scriptures of Ibrahim and Musa.
صُحُفِ إِبْرَٰهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ
