Woe to those that deal in fraud, -
Woe to the defrauders,
Waylun lilmutaffifeena
Wehe den das Maß Kürzenden,
Those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, exact full measure,
Who, when they take the measure (of their dues) from men take it fully,
Allatheena itha iktaloo AAala alnnasi yastawfoona
die, wenn sie sich von den Menschen zumessen lassen, sich volles Maß geben lassen,
But when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due.
But when they measure out to others or weigh out for them, they are deficient.

wenn sie ihnen aber zumessen oder wägen, Verlust zufügen.

Do not these think that they shall be raised again
