Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make 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! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster 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 kindled by Allah,
نار الله الموقدة
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which rises above the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In extended columns.
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
in langgestreckten Säulen.
