بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
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 will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
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 (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
