Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
And [by] the day when it appears
And the day when it shines in brightness,
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And [by] He who created the male and female,
And the creating of the male and the female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
And believes in the best [reward],
And accepts the best,
und das Beste für wahr hält,
We will ease him toward ease.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
And denies the best [reward],
And rejects the best,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Who had denied and turned away.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
But the righteous one will avoid it -
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
And he is going to be satisfied.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
