Chapter 102, 8 verses
Abundance diverts you,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Until you come to the graves.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Nay! you shall soon know,
Nay! You shall come to know!
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
And again, you shall see it with certainty of sight!
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
