بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
The Striking Calamity -
Das Verhängnis!
ما القارعة
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
What is the Striking Calamity?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فهو في عيشة راضية
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will be in a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
وأما من خفت موازينه
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
But as for one whose scales are light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
فأمه هاوية
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
His refuge will be an abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
وما أدراك ما هيه
And what will explain to thee what this is?
And what can make you know what that is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
نار حامية
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
