Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
