Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the night when it covers
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
And [by] the day when it appears
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day when it shines in brightness,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
And [by] He who created the male and female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
And the creating of the male and the female,
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
As for he who gives and fears Allah
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And believes in the best [reward],
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And accepts the best,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward ease.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
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
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And denies the best [reward],
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And rejects the best,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will ease him toward difficulty.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
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?
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter 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,
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who had denied and turned away.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But the righteous one will avoid it -
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
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 no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
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 the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And he is going to be satisfied.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
