Chapter 80, 42 verses
The Prophet frowned and turned away
He frowned and turned (his) back,
Er blickte düster und kehrte sich ab,
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
Because there came to him the blind man.
weil der Blinde zu ihm kam.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
oder bedenkt, so daß ihm die Ermahnung nützt.
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der sich für unbedürftig hält,
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
To him you give attention.
To him do you address yourself.
so widmest du dich ihm,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
obgleich es dich nicht zu kümmern hat, daß er sich nicht läutern will.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der zu dir geeilt kommt
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
While he fears [Allah],
And he fears,
und dabei gottesfürchtig ist,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
From him you are distracted.
From him will you divert yourself.
von dem läßt du dich ablenken.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
Keineswegs! Gewiß, es ist eine Erinnerung.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
So whoever wills may remember it.
So let him who pleases mind it.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Woraus hat Er ihn erschaffen?
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ

Of a small seed; He created him, then He made him according to a measure,

مِن نُّطْفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
Then He eased the way for him;
Then (as for) the way - - He has made it easy (for him)

Then when He pleases, He will raise him to life again.
Hierauf, wenn Er will, läßt Er ihn auferstehen.
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him.

Keineswegs! Er hat noch nicht ausgeführt, was Er ihm befohlen hat.
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقْضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
Then let mankind look at his food -
