O you who wraps himself [in clothing],
O you who have wrapped up in your garments!
O du Eingehüllter,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمُزَّمِّلُ
Arise [to pray] the night, except for a little -
Rise to pray in the night except a little,
steh (zum Gebet) die (ganze) Nacht auf- bis auf einen kleinen Teil,
قُمِ ٱلَّيْلَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا
Half of it - or subtract from it a little
Half of it, or lessen it a little,
ihre Hälfte, oder verringere sie um einen kleinen Teil
نِّصْفَهُۥٓ أَوِ ٱنقُصْ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا
Or add to it, and recite the Qur'an with measured recitation.

Indeed, We will cast upon you a heavy word.
Surely We will make to light upon you a weighty Word.
Gewiß, Wir werden dir gewichtige Worte offenbaren.
إِنَّا سَنُلْقِى عَلَيْكَ قَوْلًا ثَقِيلًا
Indeed, the hours of the night are more effective for concurrence [of heart and tongue] and more suitable for words.
Surely the rising by night is the firmest way to tread and the best corrective of speech.
Das Aufstehen in der Nacht hat stärkeren Einfluß (auf die Seele) und bringt eher aufklärende Worte.
إِنَّ نَاشِئَةَ ٱلَّيْلِ هِىَ أَشَدُّ وَطْـًٔا وَأَقْوَمُ قِيلًا
Indeed, for you by day is prolonged occupation.
Surely you have in the day time a long occupation.

إِنَّ لَكَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ سَبْحًا طَوِيلًا
And remember the name of your Lord and devote yourself to Him with [complete] devotion.

Und gedenke des Namens deines Herrn und widme dich Ihm ganz allein.
وَٱذْكُرِ ٱسْمَ رَبِّكَ وَتَبَتَّلْ إِلَيْهِ تَبْتِيلًا
[He is] the Lord of the East and the West; there is no deity except Him, so take Him as Disposer of [your] affairs.
The Lord of the East and the West - - there is no god but He - - therefore take Him for a protector.
(Er ist) der Herr des Ostens und des Westens. Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. So nimm Ihn dir zum Sachwalter.
رَّبُّ ٱلْمَشْرِقِ وَٱلْمَغْرِبِ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَٱتَّخِذْهُ وَكِيلًا

وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا
Indeed, with Us [for them] are shackles and burning fire
Surely with Us are heavy fetters and a flaming fire,
Gewiß, bei Uns gibt es schwere Fesseln und einen Höllenbrand
إِنَّ لَدَيْنَآ أَنكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا
And food that chokes and a painful punishment -
And food that chokes and a painful punishment,

On the Day the earth and the mountains will convulse and the mountains will become a heap of sand pouring down.
On the day when the earth and the mountains shall quake and the mountains shall become (as) heaps of sand let loose.

يَوْمَ تَرْجُفُ ٱلْأَرْضُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَكَانَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ كَثِيبًا مَّهِيلًا
Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
Surely We have sent to you an Apostle, a witness against you, as We sent an apostle to Firon.
Wir haben zu euch ja einen Gesandten als Zeugen über euch gesandt, so wie Wir zu Fir'aun einen Gesandten sandten.
إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا شَٰهِدًا عَلَيْكُمْ كَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَآ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ رَسُولًا
But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
But Firon disobeyed the apostle, so We laid on him a violent hold.
Es widersetzte sich Fir'aun dem Gesandten. Da ergriffen Wir ihn mit hartem Griff.
فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُ أَخْذًا وَبِيلًا
Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white - haired?
How, then, will you guard yourselves, if you disbelieve, on the day which shall make children grey - headed?
Wie wollt ihr euch denn, wenn ihr ungläubig seid, vor einem Tag bewahren, der die Kinder weißhaarig (wie Greise) macht?
فَكَيْفَ تَتَّقُونَ إِن كَفَرْتُمْ يَوْمًا يَجْعَلُ ٱلْوِلْدَٰنَ شِيبًا
The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.
The heaven shall rend asunder thereby; His promise is ever brought to fulfillment.
Der Himmel wird an ihm zerbrechen. Sein Versprechen wird ausgeführt.
ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرٌۢ بِهِۦ كَانَ وَعْدُهُۥ مَفْعُولًا
Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.
Surely this is a reminder, then let him, who will take the way to his Lord.
Gewiß, dies ist eine Erinnerung; wer nun will, (der) nimmt (so diesen) einen Weg zu seinem Herrn.
إِنَّ هَٰذِهِۦ تَذْكِرَةٌ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ سَبِيلًا
Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muhammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allah determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur'an. He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allah and others fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakah and loan Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allah. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
Surely your Lord knows that you pass in prayer nearly two - thirds of the night, and (sometimes) half of it, and (sometimes) a third of it, and (also) a party of those with you; and Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that you are not able to do it, so He has turned to you (mercifully), therefore read what is easy of the Quran. He knows that there must be among you sick, and others who travel in the land seeking of the bounty of Allah, and others who fight in Allah's way, therefore read as much of it as is easy (to you), and keep up prayer and pay the poor - rate and offer to Allah a goodly gift, and whatever of good you send on beforehand for yourselves, you will find it with Allah; that is best and greatest in reward; and ask forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
Gewiß, dein Herr weiß, daß du etwas weniger als zwei Drittel der Nacht (zum Gebet) aufstehst, oder die Hälfte oder ein Drittel davon, und (ebenso) ein Teil von denjenigen, die mit dir sind. Und Allah setzt das Maß der Nacht und des Tages fest. Er weiß, daß ihr es nicht erfassen würdet'. Da wandte Er Sich euch zu und erließ es euch. So lest (bei Nacht), was euch vom Qur'an leichtfällt. Er weiß, daß es unter euch Kranke geben wird und andere, die im Land umherreisen, wo sie nach (etwas) von Allahs Huld trachten, und (wieder) andere, die auf Allahs Weg kämpfen. So lest davon, was euch leichtfällt, und verrichtet das Gebet und entrichtet die Abgabe und gebt Allah ein gutes Darlehen. Und was ihr für euch selbst an Gutem vorausschickt, das werdet ihr noch besser und großartiger belohnt bei Allah finden. Und bittet Allah um Vergebung. Gewiß, Allah ist Allvergebend und Barmherzig.
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تَقُومُ أَدْنَىٰ مِن ثُلُثَىِ ٱلَّيْلِ وَنِصْفَهُۥ وَثُلُثَهُۥ وَطَآئِفَةٌ مِّنَ ٱلَّذِينَ مَعَكَ وَٱللَّهُ يُقَدِّرُ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ عَلِمَ أَن لَّن تُحْصُوهُ فَتَابَ ع
