The Striking Calamity -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
Das Verhängnis!
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
What is the Striking Calamity?
ما القارعة
Was ist das Verhängnis?
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
He will be in a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
But as for one whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
His refuge will be an abyss.
فأمه هاوية
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
And what can make you know what that is?
وما أدراك ما هيه
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
And what will explain to thee what this is?
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نار حامية
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
