بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
The Striking Calamity -
Das Verhängnis!
ما القارعة
What is the Calamity ?
What is the Striking Calamity?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فهو في عيشة راضية
He will live a pleasant life.
He will be in a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
وأما من خفت موازينه
But as for him whose scales are light,
But as for one whose scales are light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
فأمه هاوية
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
His refuge will be an abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
وما أدراك ما هيه
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
And what can make you know what that is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
نار حامية
Raging Fire.
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
