079.034 Y:  Therefore, when there comes the great, overwhelming (Event),-

P:  But when the great disaster cometh,

S:  But when the great predominating calamity comes;

079.035 Y:  The Day when man shall remember (all) that he strove for,

P:  The day when man will call to mind his (whole) endeavour,

S:  The day on which man shall recollect what he strove after,

079.036 Y:  And Hell-Fire shall be placed in full view for (all) to see,-

P:  And hell will stand forth visible to him who seeth,

S:  And the hell shall be made manifest to him who sees

079.037 Y:  Then, for such as had transgressed all bounds,

P:  Then, as for him who rebelled

S:  Then as for him who is inordinate,

079.038 Y:  And had preferred the life of this world,

P:  And chose the life of the world,

S:  And prefers the life of this world,

079.039 Y:  The Abode will be Hell-Fire;

P:  Lo! hell will be his home.

S:  Then surely the hell, that is the abode.

079.040 Y:  And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord’s (tribunal) and had restrained (their) soul from lower desires,

P:  But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust,

S:  And as for him who fears to stand in the presence of his Lord and forbids the soul from low desires,

079.041 Y:  Their abode will be the Garden.

P:  Lo! the Garden will be his home.

S:  Then surely the garden—­ that is the abode.

079.042 Y:  They ask thee about the Hour,-’When will be its appointed time?

P:  They ask thee of the Hour:  when will it come to port?

S:  They ask you about the hour, when it will come.

079.043 Y:  Wherein art thou (concerned) with the declaration thereof?

P:  Why (ask they)?  What hast thou to tell thereof?

S:  About what!  You are one to remind of it.

079.044 Y:  With thy Lord in the Limit fixed therefor.

P:  Unto thy Lord belongeth (knowledge of) the term thereof.

S:  To your Lord is the goal of it.

079.045 Y:  Thou art but a Warner for such as fear it.

P:  Thou art but a warner unto him who feareth it.

S:  You are only a warner to him who would fear it.

079.046 Y:  The Day they see it, (It will be) as if they had tarried but a single evening, or (at most till) the following morn!

P:  On the day when they behold it, it will be as if they had but tarried for an evening or the morn thereof.

S:  On the day that they see it, it will be as though they had not tarried but the latter part of a day or the early part of it.
