Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the racers, panting,
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
I swear by the runners breathing pantingly,
And the producers of sparks [when] striking
And strike sparks of fire,
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
Then those that produce fire striking,
And the chargers at dawn,
And push home the charge in the morning,
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
Then those that make raids at morn,
Stirring up thereby [clouds of] dust,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
Then thereby raise dust,
Arriving thereby in the center collectively,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
Then rush thereby upon an assembly:
Indeed mankind, to his Lord, is ungrateful.
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Most surely man is ungrateful to his Lord.
And indeed, he is to that a witness.
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And most surely he is a witness of that.
And indeed he is, in love of wealth, intense.
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And most surely he is tenacious in the love of wealth.
But does he not know that when the contents of the graves are scattered
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
Does he not then know when what is in the graves is raised,
And that within the breasts is obtained,
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And what is in the breasts is made apparent?
Indeed, their Lord with them, that Day, is [fully] Acquainted.
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
Most surely their Lord that day shall be fully aware of them.
