So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,

ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ

But the righteous one will avoid it -
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
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 who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he is going to be satisfied.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
