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.
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
And so it sailed with them amidst waves like hills. And Noah called to his son, who had kept away, "On my son! Embark with us, and do not be with the disbelievers."

Ndërkohë që ajo po lundronte me ta nëpër dallgë sa malet, Nuhu thirri birin e tij, i cili ishte i veçuar: "O biri im, hip me ne e mos u bëj me jobesimtarët!"
আর নৌকাটি পাহাড় সদৃশ ঢেউয়ের মধ্যে তাদেরকে নিয়ে চলছিলো এবং নূহ তার পুত্রকে ডাক দিলো, আর সে ছিল আলাদা স্থানে, ‘হে আমার পুত্র, আমাদের সাথে নৌকায় আরোহণ করো এবং কাফিরদের সঙ্গী হয়ো না।’

და მიედინებოდა იგი [გემი] მათთან ერთად ტალღებზე, რომლებიც მთებს ჰგავდა. და მიმართა ნუჰმა თავის შვილს, რომელიც განცალკევებით იყო [მორწმუნეთაგან]: «ო, შვილო ჩემო, ამოდი ჩვენთან ერთად (გემში) და ნუ იქნები ურწმუნოებთან (რომლებიც ყველა დაიხრჩვებიან)».
Und es fuhr mit ihnen dahin inmitten von Wellen wie Berge. Und Nuh rief seinem Sohn zu, der sich abseits hielt: „O mein lieber Sohn, steig mit uns ein und sei nicht mit den Ungläubigen!“
Και αυτή (η Κιβωτό) έπλεε μ' αυτούς (τους πιστούς) μέσα από κύματα σαν τα βουνά, και ο Νώε φώναξε στον (άπιστο) γιο του, ο οποίος απομονώθηκε σε ένα μέρος (μακριά από τον πατέρα του και τον λαό του): «Γιε μου! Μπες μαζί μας και μην είσαι μαζί με τους άπιστους.»
और वह उन्हें लिए पर्वतों जैसी ऊँची लहरों में चलती रही। और नूह़ ने अपने बेटे को, जो (उनसे) अलग-थलग था, पुकारा : ऐ मेरे बेटे! मेरे साथ सवार हो जा और काफ़िरों के साथ न रह।
E navigò con loro a bordo, tra onde simili a montagne. E Nūħ chiamò suo figlio, che era in un luogo isolato: «O figlio mio, sali insieme a noi e non restare con i miscredenti!»
42. Taigi jis (laivas) išplaukė su jais tarp bangų kaip kalnai, ir Nūhas (Nojus) sušuko savo sūnui, kuris atsiskyrė: „Mano sūnau, laipinkis su mumis ir nebūk su netikinčiaisiais.“

И он плыл с ними среди волн, подобных горам. И Нух воззвал к своему сыну, который держался в стороне: «О мой сын! Садись с нами и не будь с отвергшими веру».
И лађа их је понела на валовима великим као брда; и Ноје дозва свога сина који је био издвојен: „О синко мој, укрцај се са нама, не буди са неверницима!“
Ikawa inakwenda nao katika mawimbi kama milima. Na Nuhu akamwita mwanawe, naye alikuwa mbali: Ewe mwanangu! Panda pamoja nasi, wala usiwe pamoja na makafiri.
Och den seglade med dem bland vågor som berg. Noa ropade till sin son som höll sig avsides: ”Min son! Gå ombord med oss och bli inte kvar bland de otrogna!”
Gemi dağlar gibi dalgalar arasında akıp onları götürüyordu. Nûh, bir kenara çekilmiş oğluna: "Yavrucuğum, bizimle bin, kâfirlerle olma!" diye seslendi.
وه کشتی انہیں پہاڑوں جیسی موجوں میں لے کر جا رہی تھی[1] اور نوح (علیہ السلام) نے اپنے لڑکے کو جو ایک کنارے پر تھا، پکار کر کہا کہ اے میرے پیارے بچے ہمارے ساتھ سوار ہو جا اور کافروں میں شامل نہ ره۔[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.

Until, when Our command came, and the volcano erupted, We said, "Board into it a pair of every kind, and your family-except those against whom the sentence has already been passed-and those who have believed." But those who believed with him were only a few.
(Thus it was) till, when Our commandment came to pass and the oven gushed forth water, We said: Load therein two of every kind, a pair (the male and female), and thy household, save him against whom the word hath gone forth already, and those who believe. And but a few were they who believed with him
Until at length when our order came, and the oven boiled, we said, 'Load therein of every kind two, and likewise thy family,- save those on whom the sentence has already been passed - likewise those who believe;' but there believed not with him save a few
Thus was it until our sentence came to pass, and the earth's surface boiled up. We said, "Carry into it one pair of every kind, and thy family, except him on whom sentence hath before been passed, and those who have believed." But there believed not with him except a few
Thus were they employed until our sentence was put in execution, and the oven poured forth water. And We said unto Noah, carry into the ark of every species of animals one pair; and thy family, -- except him on whom a previous sentence of destruction hath passed, -- and those who believe. But there believed not with him, except a few

He said, "I will take refuge on a mountain-it will protect me from the water." He said, "There is no protection from God's decree today, except for him on whom He has mercy." And the waves surged between them, and he was among the drowned.
He said: I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me from the water. (Noah) said: This day there is none that saveth from the commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy. And the wave came in between them, so he was among the drowned
Said he, 'I will betake me to a mountain that shall save me from the water.' Said he, 'There is none to save today from the command of God, except for him on whom He may have mercy.' And the wave came between them, and he was amongst the drowned
He said, "I will betake me to a mountain that shall secure me from the water." He said, "None shall be secure this day from the decree of God, save him on whom He shall have mercy." And a wave passed between them, and he was among the drowned
He answered, I will get on a mountain, which will secure me from the water. Noah replied, there is no security this day from the decree of God, except for him on whom He shall have mercy. And a wave passed between them, and he became one of those who were drowned

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 — 0.58 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.
