The Striking Calamity -
Das Verhängnis!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
The terrible calamity!
What is the Striking Calamity?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
ما القارعة
What is the terrible calamity!
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
And what will make you comprehend what the terrible calamity is?
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
The day on which men shall be as scattered moths,
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
And the mountains shall be as loosened wool.
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Then as for him whose measure of good deeds is heavy,
He will be in a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
فهو في عيشة راضية
He shall live a pleasant life.
But as for one whose scales are light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
وأما من خفت موازينه
And as for him whose measure of good deeds is light,
His refuge will be an abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
فأمه هاوية
His abode shall be the abyss.
And what can make you know what that is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
وما أدراك ما هيه
And what will make you know what it is?
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
نار حامية
A burning fire.
