Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Lo! it is closed in on them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
