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