Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which rises above the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
In columns outstretched.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
