Chapter 92, 21 verses
By the Night as it conceals (the light);
I swear by the night when it draws a veil,
Bei der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) überdeckt,
وَٱلَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ
By the Day as it appears in glory;
And the day when it shines in brightness,
und dem Tag, wenn er (in seiner Helligkeit) erscheint,
وَٱلنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ
By (the mystery of) the creation of male and female; -
And the creating of the male and the female,
und Dem, Der das Männliche und das Weibliche erschaffen hat!
وَمَا خَلَقَ ٱلذَّكَرَ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰٓ
Verily, (the ends) ye strive for are diverse.
Your striving is most surely (directed to) various (ends).
Euer Bemühen ist wahrlich verschieden.
إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ
So he who gives (in charity) and fears (Allah),
Then as for him who gives away and guards (against evil),
Was nun jemanden angeht, der gibt und gottesfürchtig ist
فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَٱتَّقَىٰ
And (in all sincerity) testifies to the best, -
And accepts the best,
und das Beste für wahr hält,
وَصَدَّقَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Bliss.
We will facilitate for him the easy end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Leichteren leicht machen.
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ
But he who is a greedy miser and thinks himself self - sufficient,
And as for him who is niggardly and considers himself free from need (of Allah),
Was aber jemanden angeht, der geizt und sich für unbedürftig hält
وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
And gives the lie to the best, -
And rejects the best,
und das Beste für Lüge erklärt,
وَكَذَّبَ بِٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
We will indeed make smooth for him the path to Misery;
We will facilitate for him the difficult end.
so werden Wir ihm den Weg zum Schwereren leicht machen;
فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُۥ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ
Nor will his wealth profit him when he falls headlong (into the Pit).
And his wealth will not avail him when he perishes.
und was soll sein Besitz ihm nützen, wenn er sich ins Verderben stürzt?
وَمَا يُغْنِى عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥٓ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰٓ
Verily We take upon Ourselves to guide,
Surely Ours is it to show the way,
Uns obliegt wahrlich die Rechtleitung.
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ
And verily unto Us (belong) the End and the Beginning.
And most surely Ours is the hereafter and the former.
Und Uns gehört wahrlich das Jenseits und das Diesseits.
وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْءَاخِرَةَ وَٱلْأُولَىٰ
Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely;
Therefore I warn you of the fire that flames:
So habe Ich euch gewarnt vor einem Feuer, das lodert,
فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ
None shall reach it but those most unfortunate ones
None shall enter it but the most unhappy,
dem nur der Unseligste ausgesetzt sein wird,
لَا يَصْلَىٰهَآ إِلَّا ٱلْأَشْقَى
Who give the lie to Truth and turn their backs.
Who gives the lie (to the truth) and turns (his) back.
der (die Botschaft) für Lüge erklärt und sich abkehrt.
ٱلَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
But those most devoted to Allah shall be removed far from it, -
And away from it shall be kept the one who guards most (against evil),
Doch davon ferngehalten wird der Gottesfürchtigste werden,
وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا ٱلْأَتْقَى
Those who spend their wealth for increase in self - purification,
Who gives away his wealth, purifying himself
der seinen Besitz hingibt, um sich zu läutern,
ٱلَّذِى يُؤْتِى مَالَهُۥ يَتَزَكَّىٰ
And have in their minds no favour from anyone for which a reward is expected in return,
And no one has with him any boon for which he should be rewarded,
und niemand hat bei ihm eine Gunst (anzurechnen), die vergolten werden müßte,
وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُۥ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰٓ
But only the desire to seek for the Countenance of their Lord Most High;
Except the seeking of the pleasure of his Lord, the Most High.
sondern (er handelt) im Trachten nach dem Angesicht seines höchsten Herrn.
إِلَّا ٱبْتِغَآءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ ٱلْأَعْلَىٰ
And soon will they attain (complete) satisfaction.
And he shall soon be well - pleased.
Und er wird wahrlich zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ
