And who destined and [then] guided
und Der das Maß festsetzt und dann rechtleitet
وَالَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَىٰ
Who hath ordained laws. And granted guidance;
And who brings out the pasture
und Der die Weide hervorbringt
وَالَّذِي أَخْرَجَ الْمَرْعَىٰ
And Who bringeth out the (green and luscious) pasture,

We will make you recite, [O Muhammad], and you will not forget,
Wir werden dich lesen lassen, und dann wirst du nichts vergessen,
سَنُقْرِئُكَ فَلَا تَنسَىٰ
By degrees shall We teach thee to declare (the Message), so thou shalt not forget,
Except what Allah should will. Indeed, He knows what is declared and what is hidden.
außer dem, was Allah will. Er weiß ja, was laut vernehmbar geäußert wird und was verborgen bleibt.
إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ۚ إِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْجَهْرَ وَمَا يَخْفَىٰ

He who fears [Allah] will be reminded.
Bedenken wird jemand, der gottesfürchtig ist.
سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخْشَىٰ

But the wretched one will avoid it -
Meiden aber wird es der Unseligste,
وَيَتَجَنَّبُهَا الْأَشْقَى
But it will be avoided by those most unfortunate ones,
[He] who will [enter and] burn in the greatest Fire,
der dem größten (Höllen)feuer ausgesetzt sein wird;
الَّذِي يَصْلَى النَّارَ الْكُبْرَىٰ
Who will enter the Great Fire,
Neither dying therein nor living.
darin wird er hierauf weder sterben noch leben.

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن تَزَكَّىٰ
