Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which rises above the hearts.
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
In extended columns.
In columns outstretched.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In extended columns.
