Ndërkaq, Nuhu e thirri Zotin e vet, duke thënë: "O Zot! Biri im është nga familja ime, ndërkohë që premtimi Yt është i vërtetë dhe Ti je Gjykatësi më i drejtë!"
আর নূহ তার রবকে ডেকে বললো: ‘হে আমার রব, নিশ্চয় আমার সন্তান আমার পরিবারভুক্ত(১৩) এবং আপনার প্রতিশ্রুতি নিশ্চয় সত্য। আর আপনি বিচারকদের মধ্যে শ্রেষ্ঠ বিচারক।’
A Nuh se prije toga obrati Gospodaru svome i reče: "Gospodaru moj, sin moj je, uistinu, iz porodice moje, a obećanje Tvoje je, zaista, istinito i Ti si Sudija najpravedniji!"
A Noa se prije toga obrati Gospodaru svome i reče: "Gospodaru moj, sin moj je, uistinu, iz porodice moje, a obećanje Tvoje je, zaista, istinito i Ti si Sudac najpravedniji!"
Nuuhu noddi Joomi makko, o maaki: "Joomi am, pellet ɓiɗɗo am on ko jeyaaɗo e ɓeynguure am, pellet fodoore maa nde ko goonga. Ko aan ɓuri nuunɗude ñaawoore ñaawooɓe".
და მოუხმო ნუჰმა თავის ღმერთს და უთხრა: «ღმერთო ჩემო! ჭეშმარიტად, ჩემი შვილი ჩემი ოჯახიდანაა, და შენი აღთქმა ჭეშმარიტია, და შენ ხარ ყველაზე ბრძენი მსაჯულთაგან».
Und Nuh rief zu seinem Herrn und so sagte er: „Mein Herr, mein Sohn gehört zu meinen Angehörigen, und Dein Versprechen ist gewiss die Wahrheit, und Du bist der Weiseste derer, die richten.“
Ο Νώε φώναξε τον Κύριό του, λέγοντας: «Κύριέ μου! Ο γιος μου είναι ένας από την οικογένειά μου (και μου υποσχέθηκες να σώσεις την οικογένεια μου), και η υπόσχεσή Σου είναι αληθινή και Εσύ είσαι ο Δικαιότερος (και ο Σοφότερος) των κριτών!»
तथा नूह़ ने अपने पालनहार को पुकारा और कहा : मेरे पालनहार! मेरा बेटा मेरे घर वालों में से है और निःसंदेह तेरा वचन सत्य है तथा तू ही सबसे अच्छा निर्णय करने वाला है।
E Nūħ invocò il suo Dio. Disse: «Dio mio! In verità mio figlio è parte della mia famiglia, e in verità la tua promessa è vera, e Tu sei il migliore dei Giudici!»
45. Ir Nūhas (Nojus) šaukėsi savo Viešpaties ir sakė: „Mano Viešpatie, iš tiesų, mano sūnus yra iš mano šeimos! Ir be abejonės, Tavo Pažadas yra tiesa, ir Tu esi Teisingiausias iš teisėjų.“
Nuuh Gooftaa isaatti lallabee, nijedhe “Gooftaa kiyya! dhugumatti, ilmi kiyya maatii kiyya irraayi. Waadaan kee dhugaadha. Ati irra haqa murteessaa abbootii murtiiti”.
Нух воззвал к своему Господу и сказал: «Господь мой! Воистину, мой сын — из моей семьи, и, воистину, Твоё обещание — истина, а Ты — самый справедливый из судей».
А Ноје се пре тога обрати своме Господару и рече: „Мој Господару, мој син је, уистину, из моје породице, а обећање Твоје је, заиста, истинито и Ти си Судија најправеднији!“
Na Nuhu alimwomba Mola wake Mlezi: Ee Mola wangu Mlezi! Hakika mwanangu ni katika ahali zangu, na hakika ahadi yako ndiyo ya haki. Na Wewe ndiye hakimu bora zaidi ya wote wanaohukumu.
Och Noa anropade sin Herre och sa: ”Herre! Min son hör ju till min familj, och ditt löfte är sant, och du är den rättvisaste av domare.”
Nûh, Rabbine seslenip şöyle dedi: “Rabbim! Şüphesiz oğlum da ailemdendir. Senin vaadin elbette gerçektir. Sen de hükmedenlerin en iyi hükmedenisin.”
نوح ﴿علیہ السلام﴾ نے اپنے پروردگار کو پکارا اور کہا کہ میرے رب میرا بیٹا تو میرے گھر والوں میں سے ہے، یقیناً تیرا وعده بالکل سچا ہے اور تو تمام حاکموں سے بہتر حاکم 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.

And it was said: O earth! Swallow thy water and, O sky! be cleared of clouds! And the water was made to subside. And the commandment was fulfilled. And it (the ship) came to rest upon (the mount) Al-Judi and it was said: A far removal for wrongdoing folk

He said, "O Noah, he is not of your family. It is an unrighteous deed. So do not ask Me about something you know nothing about. I admonish you, lest you be one of the ignorant."
He said: O Noah! Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge. I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant
He said, 'O Noah! he is not of thy people; verily, it is a work that is not right. Then, ask me not for that of which thou knowest naught. Verily, I admonish thee that thou shouldst not be of the ignorant
He said, "O Noah! verily, he is not of thy family: in this thou actest not aright. Ask not of me that whereof thou knowest nought: I warn thee that thou become not of the ignorant
God answered, O Noah, verily he is not of thy family: This intercession of thine for him, is not a righteous work. Ask not of me therefore that wherein thou hast no knowledge: I admonish thee that thou become not one of the ignorant

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 — 0.50 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.
