Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist

And denies the best [reward],
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
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 indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,

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,

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

And he is going to be satisfied.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
