وَأَخْرَجَتِ ٱلْأَرْضُ أَثْقَالَهَا
Waakhrajati alar d u athq a lah a
and [when] the earth yields up her burdens,1
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., all that was hitherto hidden in it, including the bodies - or the remnants - of the dead.

and the earth shall bring out all her inner burdens,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
and when the earth throws out 'all' its contents,1
  - Mustafa Khattab

 lit., burdens (i.e., treasures and dead bodies).

And Earth yieldeth up her burdens,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
And the Earth throws up her burden (from within) 6236
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

An earthquake, if accompanied by a volcanic eruption, throws up enormous boulders and lava from beneath the crust of the earth. They are thrown up as if they were a burden to the Earth personified. They may be all kinds of minerals, or treasures buried for secrecy. So in the great and final Convulsion, the dead who had been buried and forgotten will rise; and will be brought to the light of day, and justice will be done in the full glare of absolute Truth.
