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