Chapter 101, 11 verses
The (Day) of Noise and Clamour:
The Striking Calamity -
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم القارعة
Das Verhängnis!
What is the (Day) of Noise and Clamour?
What is the Striking Calamity?
ما القارعة
Was ist das Verhängnis?
And what will explain to thee what the (Day) of Noise and Clamour is?
And what can make you know what is the Striking Calamity?
وما أدراك ما القارعة
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das Verhängnis ist?
(It is) a Day whereon men will be like moths scattered about,
It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
يوم يكون الناس كالفراش المبثوث
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden
And the mountains will be like carded wool.
And the mountains will be like wool, fluffed up.
وتكون الجبال كالعهن المنفوش
und die Berge wie zerflockte gefärbte Wolle sein werden.
Then, he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) heavy,
Then as for one whose scales are heavy [with good deeds],
فأما من ثقلت موازينه
Was nun jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen schwer sind,
Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will be in a pleasant life.
فهو في عيشة راضية
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -
But as for one whose scales are light,
وأما من خفت موازينه
Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,
Will have his home in a (bottomless) Pit.
His refuge will be an abyss.
فأمه هاوية
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
And what will explain to thee what this is?
And what can make you know what that is?
وما أدراك ما هيه
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
نار حامية
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
