Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
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,
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
