Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day resplendent
By the Day as it appears in glory;
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And Him Who hath created male and female,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
As for he who gives and fears Allah
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
And believes in the best [reward],
And believeth in goodness;
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
und das Beste für wahr hält,
We will ease him toward ease.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
And denies the best [reward],
And disbelieveth in goodness;
And gives the lie to the best, -
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
Which only the most wretched must endure,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Who had denied and turned away.
He who denieth and turneth away.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Far removed from it will be the righteous
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
And he is going to be satisfied.
He verily will be content.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
