O populli im! Kjo është deveja e Allahut, si shenjë për ju. Pra, lëreni atë të kullosë në tokën e Allahut dhe mos i bëni ndonjë të keqe, se ju kap një dënim i menjëhershëm.
‘আর হে আমার সম্প্রদায়! এটি আল্লাহর উটনী, (আমার নবুওয়াতের সত্যতার ওপর) তোমাদের জন্য একটি নিদর্শন। তাই তোমরা একে (নিজের মতো করে চলতে-ফিরতে) ছেড়ে দাও, সে আল্লাহর জমিনে (বিচরণ করে) খাবে এবং (ক্ষতি সাধনের উদ্দেশ্য) কোনোরূপ মন্দভাবে তাকে স্পর্শ করো না, তাহলে তোমাদেরকে আশু শাস্তি পাকড়াও করবে।’

Und, o mein Volk, dies ist die Kamelstute Allahs, (und) ein Zeichen für euch. So lasst sie auf der Erde Allahs weiden und fügt ihr nichts Böses zu, denn sonst überkommt euch eine baldige Strafe.“
Ω, λαέ μου! Αυτή είναι μία καμήλα που σας έστειλε ο Αλλάχ ως Σημάδι για σας. Αφήστε την λοιπόν να βοσκήσει στη γη του Αλλάχ και μην την αγγίξετε με κακό, για να μην πέσει σε σας ένα μαρτύριο σύντομα.»
और ऐ मेरी जाति के लोगो! यह अल्लाह की ऊँटनी[22] तुम्हारे लिए एक निशानी है। अतः इसे छोड़ दो, अल्लाह की धरती में चरती फिरे और इसे कोई कष्ट न पहुँचाओ, अन्यथा तुम्हें अति शीघ्र यातना पकड़ लेगी।
O popolo mio, questa è la cammella di Allāh, in essa c’è un Segno per voi! E lasciate che pascoli per la terra di Allāh e non fatele del male, altrimenti andrete incontro a un’incombente punizione.”

И, о народ мой! Вот эта верблюдица Аллаха — знамение для вас. Так оставьте же её питаться на земле Аллаха и не причиняйте ей зла, иначе вас постигнет близкое наказание».
О мој народе, ево, ова Аллахова камила је знак вама, па је пустите нека пасе по Аллаховој земљи и не чините јој никакво зло, да вас не би убрзо задесила казна.“
Na enyi kaumu yangu! Huyu ni ngamia wa Mwenyezi Mungu awe Ishara kwenu. Basi mwacheni ale katika ardhi ya Mwenyezi Mungu, wala msimguse kwa ubaya, ikaja kuwaangamiza adhabu iliyo karibu.
Mitt folk! Här är Guds kamelsto, ett tecken för er. Låt det beta fritt på Guds jord och gör det inget ont, för då kommer ett nära förestående straff att drabba er.”
“Ey kavmim! İşte size mucize olarak Allah’ın dişi bir devesi. Bırakın onu, Allah’ın arzında yayılıp otlasın. Ona kötülük dokundurmayın, yoksa sizi yakında bir azap yakalar.”
اور اے میری قوم والو! یہ اللہ کی بھیجی ہوئی اونٹنی ہے جو تمہارے لئے ایک معجزه ہے اب تم اسے اللہ کی زمین میں کھاتی ہوئی چھوڑ دو اور اسے کسی طرح کی ایذا نہ پہنچاؤ ورنہ ايک قریب عذاب تمہیں پکڑ لے گا .[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
They said, "O Saleh, we had hopes in you before this. Are you trying to prevent us from worshiping what our parents worship? We are in serious doubt regarding what you are calling us to."
They said: O Salih! Thou hast been among us hitherto as that wherein our hope was placed. Dost thou ask us not to worship what our fathers worshipped? Lo! we verily are in grave doubt concerning that to which thou callest us
They said, 'O Zalih! thou wert amongst us one we hoped in before this: dost thou forbid us to worship what our fathers worshipped? verily, we are in hesitating doubt as to that to which thou callest us
They said, "O Saleh! our hopes were fixed on thee till now: forbiddest thou us to worship what our fathers worshipped? Truly we misdoubt the faith to which thou callest us, as suspicious
They answered, oh, thou wast a person on whom we placed our hopes before this. Dost thou forbid us to worship that which our fathers worshipped? But we are certainly in doubt concerning the religion to which thou dost invite us, as justly to be suspected

He said, "O my people, have you considered? If I stand upon clear evidence from my Lord, and He has given me mercy from Him, who would protect me from God, if I disobeyed Him? You add nothing for me except loss."
He said: O my people! Bethink you: if I am (acting) on clear proof from my Lord and there hath come unto me a mercy from Him, who will save me from Allah if I disobey Him? Ye would add to me naught save perdition
He said, 'O my people! let us see; if I stand upon a manifest sign from my Lord, and there come from Him mercy, who will help me against God if I rebel against Him? Ye will add only to my loss
He said, "O my people! what think ye? If I have a revelation from my Lord to support me, and if He hath shewed his mercy on me, who could protect me from God if I rebel against him? Ye would only confer on me increase of ruin
Saleh said, O my people, tell me; if I have received an evident declaration from my Lord, and He hath bestowed on me mercy from Himself; who will protect me from the vengeance of God, if I be disobedient unto Him? For ye shall not add unto me, other than loss

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 — 0.57 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.
