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