Chapter 93, 11 verses
Bei der Morgenhelle
By the Glorious Morning Light,
I swear by the early hours of the day,
und der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) umhüllt!
And by the Night when it is still, -
And the night when it covers with darkness.
Dein Herr hat sich weder von dir verabschiedet noch haßt Er (dich).
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
Und das Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für dich als das Diesseits.
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
Und dein Herr wird dir wahrlich geben, und dann wirst du zufrieden sein.
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
Hat Er dich nicht als Waise gefunden und (dir) dann Zuflucht verschafft
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter?
und dich irregehend gefunden und dann rechtgeleitet
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
And find you lost (that is, unrecognized by men) and guide (them to you)?
und dich arm gefunden und dann reich gemacht?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
And find you in want and make you to be free from want?
Was nun die Waise angeht, so unterjoche (sie) nicht,
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Therefore, as for the orphan, do not oppress (him).
und was den Bettler angeht, so fahre (ihn) nicht an,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
And as for him who asks, do not chide (him),
und was die Gunst deines Herrn angeht, so erzähle (davon).
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
And as for the favor of your Lord, do announce (it).
