Faama man ootiya kitabahu biyameenihi

Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,
der wird einer leichten Abrechnung unterzogen,

Ja doch! Gewiß, sein Herr sieht ihn wohl.
So I swear by the twilight glow

So what is [the matter] with them [that] they do not believe,
Fama lahum la yuminoona
What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

Waitha quria AAalayhimu alquranu la yasjudoona

und, wenn ihnen der Qur'an vorgelesen wird, sich nicht niederwerfen?
But those who have disbelieved deny,
Bali allatheena kafaroo yukaththiboona
But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)
Doch Allah weiß sehr wohl, was sie (in ihren Herzen) für sich behalten.
So give them tidings of a painful punishment,
Fabashshirhum biAAathabin aleemin
So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati lahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.
außer denjenigen, die glauben und rechtschaffene Werke tun; für sie wird es einen Lohn geben, der nicht aufhört.
