Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
Until ye visit the graves.
Until you visit the graveyards.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
No! You are going to know.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
Again, ye soon shall know!
Then no! You are going to know.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
You will surely see the Hellfire.

Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you will surely see it with the eye of certainty.
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Then you will surely be asked that Day about pleasure.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
