Chapter 101, 11 verses
The terrible calamity!
Das Verhängnis!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَارِعَةُ
What is the terrible calamity!
Was ist das Verhängnis?
مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْقَارِعَةُ
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
يَوْمَ يَكُونُ النَّاسُ كَالْفَرَاشِ الْمَبْثُوثِ
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
وَتَكُونُ الْجِبَالُ كَالْعِهْنِ الْمَنفُوشِ
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فَأَمَّا مَن ثَقُلَتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
He shall live a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
فَهُوَ فِي عِيشَةٍ رَّاضِيَةٍ
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَفَّتْ مَوَازِينُهُ
His abode shall be the abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
فَأُمُّهُ هَاوِيَةٌ
And what will make you know what it is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا هِيَهْ
A burning fire.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
