Whoever desires the worldly life and its glitter-We will fully recompense them for their deeds therein, and therein they will not be defrauded.

Atyre që synojnë jetën e kësaj bote dhe bukuritë e saj, ua shpërblejmë plotësisht veprat e tyre në të dhe shpërblimi nuk u pakohet aspak.
যে ব্যক্তি (তার আমলের মাধ্যমে পরকালের প্রতিদান কামনা না করে) দুনিয়ার জীবন ও তার শোভা-সৌন্দর্য চায়, আমি তাদেরকে দুনিয়াতেই তাদের কাজের পূর্ণ প্রতিদান (যেমন স্বাস্থ্য, নিরাপত্তা ও রিজিকের প্রাচুর্য) দিয়ে দিই; আর সেখানে তাদের প্রতি কোনো প্রকার কম করা হয় না।
Onima koji streme životu na ovome svijetu i dunjalučkim ukrasima, Mi ćemo im to zbog njihovih djela – u potpunosti – i dati, i u tome zakinuti neće biti.
Onima koji streme životu na ovome svijetu i ovosvjetskim ukrasima, Mi ćemo im to zbog njihovih djela – u potpunosti – i dati, i u tome zakinuti neće biti.
Kala on tawɗo ko nguurndam aduna e cuɗaari majjam faandii, min humnanay ɓe golle maɓɓe ɗen ton, hara kamɓe ɓe ustantaake ton.
ვისაც ამქვეყნიური ცხოვრება და მისი სილამაზე (სიტკბოება) სურს, ჩვენ სრულად მივუზღავთ მათ თავიანთი საქმეებისთვის მასში და არაფერი დააკლდებათ.
Wer (nun) das diesseitige Leben und seinen Schmuck will, dem lassen wir in ihm (den Lohn für) seine Werke in vollem Maß zukommen, und ihm wird darin nichts abgezogen.
Όποιος αναζητά (με τις καλές πράξεις του) την εγκόσμια ζωή και τα στολίδιά της (από φήμη, χρήματα ή εξουσία κλπ.), (σε τέτοιους ανθρώπους) θα τους ανταποδώσουμε πλήρως για τις πράξεις τους σ' αυτή (τη ζωή, με αγαθά, υγεία, πλούτη κλπ.), και τίποτα (από την αμοιβή τους) δε θα μειωθεί γι' αυτούς σ' αυτήν (τη ζωή).
जो व्यक्ति सांसारिक जीवन तथा उसकी शोभा चाहता हो, हम ऐसे लोगों को उनके कर्मों का बदला इसी (दुनिया) में दे देते हैं और इसमें उनका कोई हक़ नहीं मारा जाता।
Quelli che desiderano la vita terrena e i suoi godimenti, Noi li ricompenseremo delle loro azioni e non gli verrà tolto nulla;
15. Kas trokšta šio pasaulio gyvenimo ir jo blizgėjimo, jiems Mes sumokėsime pilnai (atlyginimus) už jų poelgius jame ir nebus jiems tame jokio sumažinimo.

Тем, кто желает мирской жизни и её украшений, Мы сполна воздадим в ней за их деяния, и они не будут в ней обделены.
Онима који желе само живот на овоме свету и овосветске украсе, Ми ћемо то наспрам њихових дела - у потпуности - да им дамо, и у томе неће да буду закинути.
Yule ambaye anataka uhai wa dunia na mapambo yake, tutawalipa humo matendo yao kamili. Na wao humo hawatapunjwa.
De som endast vill ha det jordiska livet och dess prakt ska belönas för sina handlingar i detta [liv], och inget ska de berövas därutav.
Kim yalnız dünya hayatını ve onun ziynetini isterse, biz onlara yaptıklarının karşılığını orada tastamam öderiz. Orada onlar bir eksikliğe uğratılmazlar.
جو شخص دنیا کی زندگی اور اس کی زینت پر فریفتہ ہوا چاہتا ہو ہم ایسوں کو ان کے کل اعمال (کا بدلہ) یہی بھرپور پہنچا دیتے ہیں اور یہاں انہیں کوئی کمی نہیں کی جاتی.
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
Or do they say, "He invented it?" Say, "Then produce ten chapters like it, invented, and call upon whomever you can, besides God, if you are truthful."
Or they say: He hath invented it. Say: Then bring ten surahs, the like thereof, invented, and call on everyone ye can beside Allah, if ye are truthful
Or they will say, 'He hath devised it;' say, 'Bring ten surahs like it devised; and call upon whom ye can beside God, if ye do tell the truth
If they shall say, "The Koran is his own device," SAY: Then bring ten Suras like it of your devising, and call whom ye can to your aid beside God, if ye are men of truth
Will they say, he hath forged the Koran? Answer, bring therefore ten chapters like unto it, forged by your selves; and call on whomsoever ye may to assist you, except God, if ye speak truth
فَإِلَّمْ يَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لَكُمْ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّمَآ أُنزِلَ بِعِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَأَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّسْلِمُونَ

But if they fail to answer you, know that it was revealed with God's knowledge, and that there is no god but He. Will you then submit?
And if they answer not your prayer, then know that it is revealed only in the knowledge of Allah; and that there is no Allah save Him. Will ye then be (of) those who surrender
And if they do not answer, then know that it is revealed by the knowledge of God, and that there is no god but He - are ye then resigned
But if they answer you not, then know that it hath been sent down to you in the wisdom of God only, and that there is no God but He. Are ye then Muslims
But if they whom ye call to your assistance hear you not; know that this book hath been revealed by the knowledge of God only, and that there is no God, but He. Will ye therefore become Moslems

The translators word this verse differently
These-they will have nothing but the Fire in the Hereafter. Their deeds are in vain therein, and their works are null.
Those are they for whom is naught in the Hereafter save the Fire. (All) that they contrive here is vain and (all) that they are wont to do is fruitless
These are those for whom there is nothing in the hereafter save the Fire; and void is what they made therein, and vain what they were doing
These are they for whom there is nothing in the next world but the Fire: all that they have wrought in this life shall come to nought, and vain shall be all their doings
These are they for whom no other reward is prepared in the next life, except the fire of hell: That which they have done in this life shall perish; and that which they have wrought shall be vain

Is he who possesses a clear proof from his Lord, recited by a witness from Him, and before it the Book of Moses, a guide and a mercy? These believe in it. But whoever defies it from among the various factions, the Fire is his promise. So have no doubt about it. It is the truth from your Lord, but most people do not believe.
Is he (to be counted equal with them) who relieth on a clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him reciteth it, and before it was the Book of Moses, an example and a mercy? Such believe therein, and whoso disbelieveth therein of the clans, the Fire is his appointed place. So be not thou in doubt concerning it. Lo! it is the Truth from thy Lord; but most of mankind believe not
Is he (like them) who stands upon a manifest sign from his Lord, which is a witness from Him, and recites it, with the book of Moses before him for a model and a mercy? These believe in it; and whosoever of the crews disbelieves in him, the Fire is his promise. Be not thou in doubt about it; verily, it is truth from thy Lord, though most men do not believe
With such can they be compared who rest upon clear proofs from their Lord? to whom a witness from him reciteth the Koran, and who is preceded by the Book of Moses, a guide and mercy? These have faith in it: but the partisans of idolatry, who believe not in it, are menaced with the fire! Have thou no doubts about that Book, for it is the very truth from thy Lord. But most men will not believe
Shall he therefore be compared with them, who followeth the evident declaration of his Lord, and whom a witness from him attendeth, preceded by the book of Moses, which was revealed for a guide, and out of mercy to mankind? These believe in the Koran: But whosoever of the confederate infidels believeth not therein, is threatened with the fire of hell, which threat shall certainly be executed: Be not therefore in a doubt concerning it; for it is the truth from thy Lord: But the greater part of men will not believe

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 — 0.63 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.
