The mutual rivalry for piling up (the good things of this world) diverts you (from the more serious things),
Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you
Die Vermehrung lenkt euch ab,
أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

أَلْهَىٰكُمُ ٱلتَّكَاثُرُ

حَتَّىٰ زُرْتُمُ ٱلْمَقَابِرَ

كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Again, ye soon shall know!
Then no! You are going to know.
Abermals: Keineswegs! Ihr werdet (es noch) erfahren.
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ
Nay, were ye to know with certainty of mind, (ye would beware!)
No! If you only knew with knowledge of certainty...

كَلَّا لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ عِلْمَ ٱلْيَقِينِ
