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