Das Verhängnis!
ما القارعة
What is the Striking Calamity?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour 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,
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
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 be like 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, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فهو في عيشة راضية
He will be in a pleasant life.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
وأما من خفت موازينه
But as for one whose scales are light,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
فأمه هاوية
His refuge will be an abyss.
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
وما أدراك ما هيه
And what can make you know what that is?
And what will explain to thee what this is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
نار حامية
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
