They said, "O Noah, you have argued with us, and argued a great deal. Now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are truthful."

Ata thanë: "O Nuh, mjaft u grinde me ne, madje e teprove duke u grindur, prandaj na e sill atë (dënimin) me të cilin po na kërcënon, nëse e thua të vërtetën."
তারা বললো: ‘হে নূহ, তুমি আমাদের সাথে বাক-বিতণ্ডা করছো এবং আমাদের সাথে অতিমাত্রায় বিবাদ করেছো। অতএব যার (যে শাস্তির) প্রতিশ্রুতি তুমি আমাদেরকে দিচ্ছো, তা আমাদের কাছে নিয়ে আসো, যদি তুমি সত্যবাদীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হয়ে থাকো।’
"O Nuh", rekoše oni, "ti si želio da se s nama raspravljaš i dugo si se raspravljao. Daj, neka se ostvari ono što nam prijeteći obećavaš, ako si jedan od iskrenih!"
"O Noa," rekoše oni, "ti si želio da se s nama raspravljaš i dugo si se raspravljao. Daj, neka se ostvari ono što nam prijeteći obećavaš, ako si jedan od iskrenih!"
Ɓe mbi'i: "Ko an yo Nuuhu, gooŋɗii a wenjidii e amen, a ɗuɗɗinii yeddondiral ngal e amen. Addan men ɗuum ko pod-ɗaa amen, si a laatike jeyaaɗo e goonguɓe ɓe".
უთხრეს [ცნობილმა ხალხმა]: «ჰეი, ნუჰ! შენ გვეკამათებოდი და გაახშირე ჩვენი კამათი. მაშ, მოგვივლინე ის, რითაც გვემუქრები, თუკი მართალთაგანი ხარ».
Sie sagten: „O Nuh, du hast bereits mit uns gestritten und dabei den Streit mit uns übertrieben. So bring uns doch her, was du uns androhst, wenn du wirklich zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst!“
Είπαν (οι άπιστοι αλαζονικά): «Ω, Νώε! Συζητούσες μαζί μας και διαφωνούσες πολύ μαζί μας, οπότε φέρε μας αυτό που μας υποσχέθηκες (από την τιμωρία), αν είσαι από τους ειλικρινείς!»
उन लोगों ने कहा : ऐ नूह़! तुमने हमसे झगड़ा किया और बहुत झगड़ लिया। अतः अब वह (यातना) हम पर ले आओ, जिसका तुम हमसे वादा करते हो, यदि तुम सच्चे हो।
Dissero: «O Nūħ, ci hai contestati e hai esagerato nel confronto! Portaci ciò che ci prometti, se sei tra i veritieri!»
32. Jie sakė: „Nūhai (Nojau), tu ginčijaisi su mumis ir labai ištęsei ginčą su mumis, dabar pateik mums tai, kuo mums grasini, jei esi sakantis tiesą.“
[Isaan] nijedhan “yaa Nuuh! Ati dhugumatti nu mormitee jirta. Mormiiwwan keenyas baay’essitee jirta. waan nuun sodaachiftu sana nutti fidi, Yoo warra dhugaa dubbatan irraa taate”.
Они сказали: «О Нух! Ты действительно спорил с нами и множил наши споры. Так яви же нам то, что обещаешь нам, если ты — из правдивых!»
„О Ноје“, рекоше они, „расправљао си са нама и претерао си у расправи. Дај, нека се оствари оно чиме нам претиш, ако си од искрених!“
Wakasema, "Ewe Nuhu! Umejadiliana nasi, na umekithirisha kutujadili. Basi tuletee hayo unayotuahidi, ikiwa wewe ni miongoni mwa wakweli."
De sa: ”Noa! Du har tvistat med oss och dragit ut på det länge. Kom med det du hotar oss med, om du verkligen talar sanning!”
Dediler ki: “Ey Nûh! Bizimle tartıştın ve tartışmayı uzattın. Eğer doğru söyleyenlerden isen, haydi kendisiyle bizi tehdit ettiğin azabı getir.”
(قوم کے لوگوں نے) کہا اے نوح! تو نے ہم سے بحث کر لی اور خوب بحث کر لی۔[1] اب تو جس چیز سے ہمیں دھمکا رہا ہے وہی ہمارے پاس لے آ، اگر تو سچوں میں ہے۔[2]
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.

And I tell you not that with me are the treasures of God: nor do I say, 'I know the things unseen;' nor do I say, 'I am an angel;' nor do I say of those whom you eye with scorn, No good thing will God bestow on them: - God best knoweth what is in their minds - for then should I be one of those who act unjustly

He said, "It is God who will bring it upon you, if He wills, and you will not be able to escape."
He said: Only Allah will bring it upon you if He will, and ye can by no means escape
Said he, 'God will only bring it on you if He pleases, nor can ye make Him helpless
He said, "God will bring it on you at His sole pleasure, and it is not you who can weaken him
Noah said, verily God alone shall bring it upon you, if He pleaseth; and ye shall not prevail against Him, so as to escape the same

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.
