Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the night enshrouding
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day resplendent
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And Him Who hath created male and female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Lo! your effort is dispersed (toward divers ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
As for him who giveth and is dutiful (toward Allah)
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And believeth in goodness;
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
Surely We will ease his way unto the state of ease.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
But as for him who hoardeth and deemeth himself independent,
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And disbelieveth in goodness;
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
Surely We will ease his way unto adversity.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
His riches will not save him when he perisheth.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Lo! Ours it is (to give) the guidance
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And lo! unto Us belong the latter portion and the former.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
Therefor have I warned you of the flaming Fire
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
Which only the most wretched must endure,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
He who denieth and turneth away.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
Far removed from it will be the righteous
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who giveth his wealth that he may grow (in goodness).
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
And none hath with him any favour for reward,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
Except as seeking (to fulfil) the purpose of his Lord Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
He verily will be content.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
