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