Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
