Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
Then those that produce fire striking,
فالموريات قدحا
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
Striking sparks of fire
Then those that make raids at morn,
فالمغيرات صبحا
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
فأثرن به نقعا
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
فوسطن به جمعا
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And most surely he is a witness of that.
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
وحصل ما في الصدور
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
