Translation
When the earth is shaken with its earthquake (1)
And the earth discharges its cargo(of masses, burdens, and all contents) (2)
And the human says, "What is with it?" - (3)
That Day, it will report its news (4)
Because your Lord has commanded it. (5)
That Day, the people will depart separated to be shown their deeds. (6)
So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it, (7)
And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it. (8)

Famous quotes containing the word translation:
“Translation is the paradigm, the exemplar of all writing.... It is translation that demonstrates most vividly the yearning for transformation that underlies every act involving speech, that supremely human gift.”
—Harry Mathews (b. 1930)
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“The Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People.”
—General prologue, Wycliffe translation of the Bible (1384)
