Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
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.
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
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,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
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?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
Which rises above the hearts.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In extended columns.
In extended columns.
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
