Chapter 104, 9 verses
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
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 thinks that his wealth will make 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! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
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?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster 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 kindled by Allah,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
