Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
نار الله الموقدة
The fire of Allah kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which leaps up over the hearts,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In columns outstretched.
في عمد ممددة
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
in langgestreckten Säulen.
