Chapter 100, 11 verses
By the (Steeds) that run, with panting (breath),
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والعاديات ضبحا
Bei den schnaubend Rennenden,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. By the snorting courses,
And strike sparks of fire,
فالموريات قدحا
den (mit ihren Hufen) Funken Schlagenden,
Striking sparks of fire
And push home the charge in the morning,
فالمغيرات صبحا
den am Morgen Angreifenden,
And scouring to the raid at dawn,
And raise the dust in clouds the while,
فأثرن به نقعا
die darin Staub aufwirbeln,
Then, therewith, with their trail of dust,
And penetrate forthwith into the midst (of the foe) en masse; -
فوسطن به جمعا
die dann mitten in die Ansammlung eindringen!
Cleaving, as one, the centre (of the foe),
Truly man is, to his Lord, ungrateful;
إن الإنسان لربه لكنود
Der Mensch ist seinem Herrn gegenüber wahrlich undankbar,
Lo! man is an ingrate unto his Lord
And to that (fact) he bears witness (by his deeds);
وإنه على ذلك لشهيد
und er (selbst) ist darüber wahrlich Zeuge.
And lo! he is a witness unto that;
And violent is he in his love of wealth.
وإنه لحب الخير لشديد
Und er ist in seiner Liebe zum (eigenen) Besten wahrlich heftig.
And lo! in the love of wealth he is violent.
Does he not know, - when that which is in the graves is scattered abroad
۞ أفلا يعلم إذا بعثر ما في القبور
Weiß er denn nicht? Wenn durchwühlt wird, was in den Gräbern ist,
Knoweth he not that, when the contents of the graves are poured forth
And that which is (locked up) in (human) breasts is made manifest -
وحصل ما في الصدور
und herausgeholt wird, was in den Brüsten ist,...
And the secrets of the breasts are made known,
That their Lord had been Well - acquainted with them, (even to) that Day?
إن ربهم بهم يومئذ لخبير
ihr Herr wird an jenem Tag ihrer wahrlich Kundig sein.
On that day will their Lord be perfectly concerning them.
