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