Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),

Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Again, ye soon shall know!

Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Nay! If you knew with a sure knowledge (the end result of piling up, you would not have been occupied yourselves in worldly things).

Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!

Then on that Day you shall be asked about the delights (you indulged in, in this world)!
