In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Allathee jamaAAa malan waAAaddadahu
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Yahsabu anna malahu akhladahu
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Kalla layunbathanna fee alhutamati
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Wama adraka ma alhutamatu
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
Naru Allahi almooqadatu
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Allatee tattaliAAu AAala alafidati
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Lo! it is closed in on them
lnnaha AAalayhim musadatun
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In outstretched columns.
Fee AAamadin mumaddadatin
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
in langgestreckten Säulen.
