Preise den Namen deines höchsten Herrn,
Exalt the name of your Lord, the Most High,

سَبِّحِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ ٱلْأَعْلَى
Der erschafft und dann zurechtformt
Who created and proportioned
Who hath created, and further, given order and proportion;
ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ فَسَوَّىٰ
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
And who destined and [then] guided
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
وَٱلَّذِى قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
And who brings out the pasture
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,
وَٱلَّذِىٓ أَخْرَجَ ٱلْمَرْعَىٰ
und sie dann zu dunkelbrauner Spreu macht.
And [then] makes it black stubble.
And then doth make it (but) swarthy stubble.
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,
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt 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 as Allah wills: For He knoweth what is 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.

وَنُيَسِّرُكَ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ

فَذَكِّرْ إِن نَّفَعَتِ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
The admonition will be received by those who fear (Allah):
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ
Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,

وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَشْقَى
der dem größten (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein wird;
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
Who will enter the Great Fire,
ٱلَّذِى يَصْلَى ٱلنَّارَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.
Neither dying therein nor living.
In which they will then neither die nor live.
ثُمَّ لَا يَمُوتُ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَىٰ
Wohl ergehen wird es ja jemandem, der sich läutert,
He has certainly succeeded 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 glorify the name of their Guardian - Lord, and (lift their hearts) in prayer.
وَذَكَرَ ٱسْمَ رَبِّهِۦ فَصَلَّىٰ
Nein! Vielmehr zieht ihr das diesseitige Leben vor,
But you prefer the worldly life,
Nay (behold), ye 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.
