It is the Day when people will be like moths, dispersed,
Am Tag, da die Menschen wie flatternde Motten sein werden

Will be in a life of good pleasure and satisfaction.
He will be in a pleasant life.
so wird er in einem zufriedenen Leben sein.
But he whose balance (of good deeds) will be (found) light, -

Was aber jemanden angeht, dessen Waagschalen leicht sind,

His refuge will be an abyss.
dessen Mutter wird ein Abgrund sein.
And what will explain to thee what this is?
And what can make you know what that is?
Und was läßt dich wissen, was das ist?
(It is) a Fire Blazing fiercely!
It is a Fire, intensely hot.
Ein sehr heißes Feuer.
