The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Calamity!
Das Verhängnis!
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
What is the Calamity ?
Was ist das Verhängnis?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Calamity is!
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
A day wherein mankind will be as thickly - scattered moths
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will become as carded wool.
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then, as for him whose scales are heavy (with good works),
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will live a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
But as for him whose scales are light,
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
A bereft and Hungry One will be his mother,
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
And what will explain to thee what this is?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what she is! -
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
Raging Fire.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
