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