Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم ويل لكل همزة لمزة
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
الذي جمع مالا وعدده
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
يحسب أن ماله أخلده
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
نار الله الموقدة
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
In columns outstretched.
In outstretched columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
في عمد ممددة
