Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كَلَّا لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ
