Das Verhängnis!
ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
What is the Calamity ?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?

مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْقَارِعَةُ
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ ٱلنَّاسُ كَٱلْفَرَاشِ ٱلْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
And the mountains will be like 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),
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
He will live a pleasant life.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
فَهُوَ فِى عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
But as for him whose scales are light,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَٰزِينُهُۥ
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
فَأُمُّهُۥ هَاوِيَةٌ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
And what will explain to thee what this is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا هِيَهْ
Raging Fire.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌۢ
