In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
The fire of Allah kindled,
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
