Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
