Chapter 80, 42 verses
(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,
He frowned and turned (his) back,
Er blickte düster und kehrte sich ab,
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).
Because there came to him the blind man.
weil der Blinde zu ihm kam.
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)? -
And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?
Or become reminded so that the reminder should profit him?
oder bedenkt, so daß ihm die Ermahnung nützt.
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As to one who regards Himself as self - sufficient,
As for him who considers himself free from need (of you),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der sich für unbedürftig hält,
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
To him dost thou attend;
To him do you address yourself.
so widmest du dich ihm,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
obgleich es dich nicht zu kümmern hat, daß er sich nicht läutern will.
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,
And as to him who comes to you striving hard,
Was aber jemanden angeht, der zu dir geeilt kommt
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
And with fear (in his heart),
And he fears,
und dabei gottesfürchtig ist,
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
Of him wast thou unmindful.
From him will you divert yourself.
von dem läßt du dich ablenken.
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:
Nay! surely it is an admonishment.
Keineswegs! Gewiß, es ist eine Erinnerung.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
Therefore let whoso will, keep it in remembrance.
So let him who pleases mind it.
Wer nun will, gedenkt seiner.
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

Woraus hat Er ihn erschaffen?
مِنْ أَىِّ شَىْءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
