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