Chapter 102, 8 verses
The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Abundance diverts you,
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ
Until ye visit the graves.
Until you come to the graves.
bis ihr die Friedhöfe besucht.
حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ
But nay, ye soon shall know (the reality).
Nay! you shall soon know,
Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, ye soon shall know!
Nay! Nay! you shall soon know.
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
Nay! if you had known with a certain knowledge,
Keineswegs! Wenn ihr es nur mit dem Wissen der Gewißheit wüßtet!
كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Ye shall certainly see Hell - Fire!
You should most certainly have seen the hell;
Ihr werdet ganz gewiß den Höllenbrand sehen.
لَتَرَوُنَّ ٱلْجَحِيمَ
Again, ye shall see it with certainty of sight!
Then you shall most certainly see it with the eye of certainty;
Abermals: Ihr werdet ihn mit dem Auge der Gewißheit sehen.
ثُمَّ لَتَرَوُنَّهَا عَيْنَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
Then, shall ye be questioned that Day about the joy (ye indulged in!).
Then on that day you shall most certainly be questioned about the boons.
Hierauf werdet ihr an jenem Tag ganz gewiß nach der Wonne gefragt werden.
ثُمَّ لَتُسْـَٔلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ ٱلنَّعِيمِ
