Chapter 83, 36 verses
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
Woe to those who give less [than due],
Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
وَيْلٌ لِّلْمُطَفِّفِينَ
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
Who, when they take a measure from people, take in full.
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ٱكْتَالُوا۟ عَلَى ٱلنَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ
wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.
But if they give by measure or by weight to them, they cause loss.
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
وَإِذَا كَالُوهُمْ أَو وَّزَنُوهُمْ يُخْسِرُونَ
Glauben jene nicht, daß sie auferweckt werden
Do they not think that they will be resurrected
Do they not think that they will be called to account? -
أَلَا يَظُنُّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ أَنَّهُم مَّبْعُوثُونَ
zu einem gewaltigen Tag,
For a tremendous Day -
On a Mighty Day,
لِيَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ
am Tag, da die Menschen sich um des Herrn der Weltenbewohner willen aufstellen werden?
The Day when mankind will stand before the Lord of the worlds?

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed.

إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ أَجْرَمُوا۟ كَانُوا۟ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يَضْحَكُونَ
und, wenn sie an ihnen vorbeikamen, einander zuzuzwinkern.

Dabei waren sie doch nicht als Hüter über sie gesandt worden.
But they had not been sent as guardians over them.
