By the night when it covers
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ

By the night when it covers
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. By the night as it envelops.
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والليل إذا يغشى
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
By the day as it appears in brightness.
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
والنهار إذا تجلى
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
By Him Who created male and female.
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
وما خلق الذكر والأنثى
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Certainly, your efforts and deeds are diverse (different in aims and purposes);
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إن سعيكم لشتى
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
As for him who gives (in charity) and keeps his duty to Allah and fears Him,
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فأما من أعطى واتقى
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
And believes in Al-Husna.
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وصدق بالحسنى
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
We will make smooth for him the path of ease (goodness).
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
فسنيسره لليسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
But he who is greedy miser and thinks himself self-sufficient.
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وأما من بخل واستغنى
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
And belies Al-Husna (See the footnote of the Verse No.6)

وكذب بالحسنى
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
We will make smooth for him the path for evil.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فسنيسره للعسرى
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
And what will his wealth avail him when he goes down (in destruction)?.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
وما يغني عنه ماله إذا تردى
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Truly! On Us is (to give) guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إن علينا للهدى
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ

Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وإن لنا للآخرة والأولى
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire (Hell).
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فأنذرتكم نارا تلظى
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لا يصلاها إلا الأشقى
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
Who denies and turns away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
الذي كذب وتولى
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
And Al-Muttaqun (the pious - See V.2:2) will be far removed from it (Hell).
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وسيجنبها الأتقى
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
He who spends his wealth for increase in self-purification,
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
الذي يؤتي ماله يتزكى
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
And who has (in mind) no favour from anyone to be paid back,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
وما لأحد عنده من نعمة تجزى
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
Except to seek the Countenance of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
إلا ابتغاء وجه ربه الأعلى
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
He surely will be pleased (when he enters Paradise).
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
ولسوف يرضى
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
