Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
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! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
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 kindled by Allah,
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which rises above the hearts.
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
In columns outstretched.
In extended columns.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
