Chapter 92, 21 verses
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
By the night when it covers
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day resplendent
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
As for he who gives and fears Allah
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
und das Beste für wahr hält,

And believes in the best [reward],
And believeth in goodness;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.

We will ease him toward ease.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And gives the lie to the best, -
And denies the best [reward],
And disbelieveth in goodness;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Which only the most wretched must endure,
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who had denied and turned away.
He who denieth and turneth away.
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Far removed from it will be the righteous
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he is going to be satisfied.
He verily will be content.
