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,
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
And [by] the day when it appears
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
And the day when it shines in brightness,
By the Day as it appears in glory;
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,
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
Indeed, your efforts are diverse.
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
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),
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
And believes in the best [reward],
und das Beste für wahr hält,
And accepts the best,
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
We will ease him toward ease.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
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),
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
And denies the best [reward],
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
And rejects the best,
And gives the lie to the best, -
We will ease him toward difficulty.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
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.
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
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.
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
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:
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
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,
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
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.
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
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),
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
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,
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
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.
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
And he is going to be satisfied.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
