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