The Striking Calamity -
The terrible calamity!
Das Verhängnis!
What is the Striking Calamity?
What is the terrible calamity!
Was ist das Verhängnis?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
He will be in a pleasant life.
He shall live a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
But as for one whose scales are light,
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
His refuge will be an abyss.
His abode shall be the abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
And what can make you know what that is?
And what will make you know what it is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
A burning fire.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
