Chapter 100, 11 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
فالموريات قدحا
Striking sparks of fire
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالمغيرات صبحا
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
Then those that make raids at morn,
فأثرن به نقعا
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
Then thereby raise dust,
فوسطن به جمعا
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
وحصل ما في الصدور
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
