Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The mutual rivalry (for piling up of worldly things) diverts you,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until you visit the graveyards.
Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die).
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
No! You are going to know.
Nay! You shall come to know!
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Then no! You are going to know.
Again nay! You shall come to know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
You will surely see the Hellfire.
Verily, You shall see the blazing Fire (Hell)!
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
And again, you 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 you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
