Whether We show you some of what We promise them, or take you, to Us is their return. God is witness to everything they do.

Pavarësisht nëse të tregojmë diçka nga ajo me të cilën i kemi kërcënuar apo ta marrim shpirtin (para se t'i dënojmë), ata gjithsesi do të kthehen te Ne, pastaj Allahu është dëshmitar për çdo gjë që bëjnë ata.
আর (হে রাসূল!) আমি তাদেরকে যে (শাস্তির) প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছি, তার কিছু যদি তোমাকে (তোমার মৃত্যুর পূর্বেই) দেখিয়ে দেই, অথবা (এর পূর্বেই যদি) তোমাকে মৃত্যু দেই, তবে (উভয় অবস্থায়ই কিয়ামতের দিন) তাদেরকে আমার কাছেই ফিরে আসতে হবে। অতঃপর আল্লাহই তাদের কর্মকাণ্ড সম্পর্কে সাক্ষী।
Bilo da ti pokažemo dio onoga što im prijeteći obećavamo, bilo da te usmrtimo, Nama će se sve vratiti, a povrh toga Allah je svjedok onoga što oni rade.

და ჩვენ გიჩვენებთ შენ (ო, მოციქულო) იმ სასჯელთაგან ნაწილს, რასაც ვპირდებით მათ, ანდა მოგაკვდინებთ შენ (სანამ ამას იხილავ), მათი დაბრუნება ჩვენთან იქნება. შემდეგ კი ალლაჰი იქნება მოწმე იმისა, რასაც ისინი აკეთებდნენ.
Und ob Wir dich nun einen Teil dessen, was Wir ihnen androhen, sehen lassen oder dich (vorher) abberufen, zu Uns wird (auf jeden Fall) ihre Rückkehr sein. Hierauf ist Allah Zeuge über das, was sie tun.
Είτε σου δείξουμε (ω, Προφήτη) κάτι απ' αυτό που τους υποσχεθήκαμε (από την τιμωρία), είτε αφαιρέσουμε τη ζωή σου (χωρίς να το δεις αυτό), (στις δύο περιπτώσεις) σε Μας είναι η επιστροφή τους (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως), και ο Αλλάχ είναι Μάρτυρας όσων κάνουν.
और अगर कभी हम आपको उसका कुछ हिस्सा दिखा दें, जो हम उनसे वादा करते हैं, या आपको उठा ही लें, तो उनकी वापसी हमारी ही ओर है, फिर जो कुछ वे कर रहे हैं अल्लाह उसका गवाह है।
E sia che Noi ti lasciamo vedere alcune delle punizioni che abbiamo riservato loro, o che ti facciamo morire, loro torneranno a Noi, poi Allāh è testimone di ciò che fanno.
46. Ar Mes parodytume tau (tavo gyvenimo metu, Muchammedai ﷺ) šiek tiek iš to, ką Mes pažadame jiems (kančią), ar Mes priverstume tave mirti – vis tiek Mums priklauso jų sugrįžimas ir dar daugiau, Allahas yra Liudytojas to, ką jie darydavo.

Либо Мы покажем тебе часть того, что обещаем им, либо заберём тебя, и тогда к Нам будет их возвращение, а затем Аллах — свидетель тому, что они совершают.
Било да ти покажемо део казне коју смо им припремили, било да те пре тога усмртимо, Нама ће сви да се врате, а Аллах је сведок ономе што они раде.
Na ima tutakuonyesha baadhi ya yale tunayowaahidi, au tukufishe kabla yake, basi marejeo yao ni kwetu. Kisha Mwenyezi Mungu ni Shahidi wa wanayoyafanya.
Vare sig vi visar dig en del av det vi har varnat dem för eller låter dig dö, är det till oss de till slut ska återvända. Sedan ska Gud vittna om vad de gjort.
Onlara vadettiğimizin bir kısmını sana (sen hayattayken) gösteririz, ya da seni vefat ettiririz. Onların dönüşü bizedir. Sonra Allah, onların yaptıklarına da şahittir.
اور جس کا ان سے ہم وعده کر رہے ہیں اس میں سے کچھ تھوڑا سا اگر ہم آپ کو دکھلا دیں یا (ان کے ﻇہور سے پہلے) ہم آپ کو وفات دے دیں، سو ہمارے پاس تو ان کو آنا ہی ہے۔ پھر اللہ ان کے سب افعال پر گواه ہے.[1]
5 cleared translations, newest first, by year of publication, so the modern English comes before the historical ones. That is an ordering by date, not a judgement. Each is shown complete — this platform never excerpts a translation — and each renders under its translator's name. No translation here is marked as the correct one.
Which translations appear here is set by copyright: they are the ones whose rights could be documented and cleared. The selection is not a judgement that these are the best.
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The translators word this verse differently
God does not wrong the people in the least, but the people wrong their own selves.
Lo! Allah wrongeth not mankind in aught; but mankind wrong themselves
Verily, God wrongs not man at all, but men do wrong themselves
Verily, God will not wrong men in aught, but men will wrong themselves
Verily God will not deal unjustly with men in any respect: But men deal unjustly with their own souls

On the Day when He rounds them up-as if they had tarried only one hour of a day-they will recognize one another. Those who denied the meeting with God will be the losers. They were not guided.
And on the day when He shall gather them together, (when it will seem) as though they had tarried but an hour of the day, recognising one another, those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided
And on the day when we will gather them together it will be as though they had not tarried save an hour of the day, they shall know each other. Lost are those who called the meeting with God a lie, and were not guided
Moreover, on that day, He will gather them all together: They shall seem as though they had waited but an hour of the day! They shall recognise one another! Now perish they who denied the meeting with God, and were not guided aright
On a certain day He will gather them together, as though they had not tarried above an hour of a day: They shall know one another. Then shall they perish who have denied the meeting of God; and were not rightly directed

The translators word this verse differently
Every community has a messenger. When their messenger has come, judgment will be passed between them with fairness, and they will not be wronged.
And for every nation there is a messenger. And when their messenger cometh (on the Day of Judgment) it will be judged between them fairly, and they will not be wronged
Every nation has its apostle; and when their apostle comes to them, it is decided between them with justice, and they are not wronged
And every people hath had its apostle. And when their apostle came, a rightful decision took place between them, and they were not wronged
Unto every nation hath an apostle been sent: And when their apostle came, the matter was decided between them with equity; and they were not treated unjustly

These figures count the words the translations share. They measure wording, not meaning, and they do not say which translation is right.
Derived measure: mean pairwise Jaccard distance over the lowercased word sets of the 5 renderings above — 0.60 on a scale where 0 means identical wording and 1 means no shared words. It is computed, not judged.
The page says a verse is worded differently only above the cut below. The cut is a stated convention, not a property of the text, and it can be changed.
One bar per pair of renderings, longest bar for the pair sharing fewest words. Every pair is shown; none is singled out.
The platform does not say which is right, and does not characterise what the difference means. The renderings are placed together so the difference is visible; reading it is the reader's work.

7 sources stand behind this page. Each is listed once, in the order the page first cites it, with the licence it was cleared under and what was actually read. Nothing on this page rests on a source that is not here.
CLEARED. Licence read verbatim from the block embedded in this very file. Ingested exactly as shipped: no normalisation, no stripping of marks, no Unicode recomposition.
CLEARED on a licence read first-hand from the translator's own download page, not from an aggregator. Tanzil also hosts this translation, but under a blanket "non-commercial purposes only" term that directs the user to the translator or publisher for permission - a hosting disclaimer, not a grant - so the grant was taken from the licensor directly. The "God" edition was ingested; ClearQuran also publishes an "Allah" edition, differing in how the divine name is rendered, which is not ingested.
CLEARED ON THE WORK, WITH TWO RECORDED CAVEATS ON THIS COPY. (1) Rights basis is the expired copyright term, NOT the redistributing repository's licence. That repository dedicates its contents to the public domain under the Unlicense while also redistributing plainly in-copyright translations (Abdel Haleem, Saheeh International, The Study Quran), so it is dedicating rights it cannot hold and its blanket grant is not relied upon here. (2) The file declares its own upstream as tanzil.net, and Tanzil attaches a non-commercial condition to its TRANSLATION distributions, though not to its Qur'anic text. Since Pickthall's copyright has expired, nobody holds rights in these words and no licence is required from anyone; Tanzil's terms are a contract binding those who download from Tanzil, which we did not. The chain is nonetheless not spotless and Anwar may prefer a clean digitisation of the 1930 printing. NOT VERIFIED: that this digital text matches the 1930 first printing rather than a later revised edition. No page images were collated. Recorded as unverified rather than presented as established. SERVED TEXT DIFFERS FROM THE CITED FILE AT ONE VERSE, 37:97: the file reads "red-hotfire" (a glued token, also in Gutenberg #16955); the served row reads "red-hot fire", restored 2026-09-13 from Pickthall, The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (London: George Allen & Unwin, printed for Alfred A. Knopf; 1930), p. 460, XXXVII 97 - scan archive.org in.ernet.dli.2015.216140, PDF page 475; banked data/derivation-sources/pickthall-1930-dli-2015.216140-text.pdf (sha256 70e81146c97fa3a590243a82e04e349108546074787e2551a78c616202138870) on Anwar Malik's grant.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is not stated by the redistributor and the printing is unverified. No statement of purpose is recorded for Palmer because none was sourced from his own preface in this pass; nothing is asserted on his behalf.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. TWO edition caveats. (1) The upstream is not stated by the redistributor. (2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface. This digital text is keyed to mushaf order, so it derives from a restored-order printing (such as the Everyman edition) rather than from Rodwell's own arrangement. Which printing is not stated and has not been established.
CLEARED ON THE WORK. Term expired by every measure. The digital edition's upstream is NOT STATED by the redistributor, so the printing it represents is unverified; Sale's text was reprinted and re-edited many times between 1734 and 1900. Recorded as unverified rather than assumed to be the first edition.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
