Chapter 102, 8 verses
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Abundance diverts you,
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until you come to the graves.
Until ye visit the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! you shall soon know,
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Again, ye soon shall know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
