Chapter 100, 11 verses
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
By the racers, panting,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And strike sparks of fire,
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
Then those that make raids at morn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
And the chargers at dawn,
Then thereby raise dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And that within the breasts is obtained,
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
