Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
Waallayli itha yaghsha
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
And [by] the day when it appears
Waalnnahari itha tajalla
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day resplendent
And [by] He who created the male and female,
Wama khalaqa alththakara waalontha
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And Him Who hath created male and female,
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Inna saAAyakum lashatta
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Faamma man aAAta waittaqa
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
And believes in the best [reward],
Wasaddaqa bialhusna
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believeth in goodness;
We will ease him toward ease.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilyusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
Waamma man bakhila waistaghna
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
And denies the best [reward],
Wakaththaba bialhusna
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
We will ease him toward difficulty.
Fasanuyassiruhu lilAAusra
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
Wama yughnee AAanhu maluhu itha taradda
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Inna AAalayna lalhuda
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Wainna lana lalakhirata waaloola
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Faanthartukum naran talaththa
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
La yaslaha illa alashqa
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
Who had denied and turned away.
Allathee kaththaba watawalla
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
He who denieth and turneth away.
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Wasayujannabuha alatqa
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
Allathee yutee malahu yatazakka
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
Wama liahadin AAindahu min niAAmatin tujza
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Illa ibtighaa wajhi rabbihi alaAAla
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
And he is going to be satisfied.
Walasawfa yarda
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
He verily will be content.
