Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
نار الله الموقدة
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
في عمد ممددة
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
