Chapter 93, 11 verses
By the Glorious Morning Light,
Bei der Morgenhelle
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَالضُّحَىٰ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the morning hours
And by the Night when it is still, -
und der Nacht, wenn sie (alles) umhüllt!
وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
And by the night when it is stillest,
Thy Guardian - Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased.
Dein Herr hat sich weder von dir verabschiedet noch haßt Er (dich).
مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
Thy Lord hath not forsaken thee nor doth He hate thee,
And verily the Hereafter will be better for thee than the present.
Und das Jenseits ist wahrlich besser für dich als das Diesseits.
وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ
And verily the latter portion will be better for thee than the former,
And soon will thy Guardian - Lord give thee (that wherewith) thou shalt be well - pleased.
Und dein Herr wird dir wahrlich geben, und dann wirst du zufrieden sein.
وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ
And verily thy Lord will give unto thee so that thou wilt be content.
Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)?
Hat Er dich nicht als Waise gefunden und (dir) dann Zuflucht verschafft
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ
Did He not find thee an orphan and protect (thee) ?
And He found thee wandering, and He gave thee guidance.
und dich irregehend gefunden und dann rechtgeleitet
وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ
Did He not find thee wandering and direct (thee) ?
And He found thee in need, and made thee independent.
und dich arm gefunden und dann reich gemacht?
وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ
Did He not find thee destitute and enrich (thee) ?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness,
Was nun die Waise angeht, so unterjoche (sie) nicht,
فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ
Therefor the orphan oppress not,
Nor repulse the petitioner (unheard);
und was den Bettler angeht, so fahre (ihn) nicht an,
وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ
Therefor the beggar drive not away,
But the bounty of the Lord - rehearse and proclaim!
und was die Gunst deines Herrn angeht, so erzähle (davon).
وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ
Therefor of the bounty of thy Lord be thy discourse.
