Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
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,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
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,
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Lo! it is closed in on them
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In columns outstretched.
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
