Chapter 101, 11 verses
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَارِعَةُ
Das Verhängnis!
What is the Calamity ?
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Was ist das Verhängnis?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
He will live a pleasant life.
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
But as for him whose scales are light,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
Raging Fire.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
