Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Chapter 102, 8 verses
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
Competition in [worldly] increase 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 visit the graveyards.
Until ye visit the graves.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
No! You are going to know.
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Then no! You are going to know.
Again, ye soon shall 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, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
You will surely see the Hellfire.
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Then you will surely 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 you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
