Chapter 104, 9 verses
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every scorner and mocker
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
In columns outstretched.
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In extended columns.
