"O Ibrahim, hiq dorë nga kjo, sepse urdhri i Zotit tënd tashmë ka ardhur dhe ata do t'i godasë një dënim i pashmangshëm."
(ফিরিশতাগণ বললো) হে ইবরাহীম! তুমি এ থেকে(২৯) বিরত হও। নিশ্চয় (শাস্তি পতিত হওয়ার ব্যাপারে) তোমার রবের সিদ্ধান্ত এসে গেছে । নিশ্চয় তাদের উপর মহা শাস্তি আসছে , যা প্রতিহত হবার নয়।
"O Ibrahime, prođi se toga, naređenje od Gospodara tvoga je stiglo; njih će stići patnja neizbježna!"
"O Abrahame, prođi se toga, naređenje od Gospodara tvoga je stiglo; njih će stići patnja neizbježna!"
Eheyma Ibraahiima, ɗuurno ga e ɗum; gooŋɗii yamiroore Joomi maa nden arii, e pellet, lepte aray e maɓɓe lepte ɗe nduuttetaake.
(ანგელოზებმა უთხრეს): «ჰეი, იბრაჰიმ, თავი დაანებე ამას! რამეთუ, უკვე მოვიდა შენი უფლის ბრძანება და უეჭველად, მათ გარდაუვალი სასჯელი ეწევათ».
„O Ibrahim, lasse davon ab! Wahrlich, der Befehl deines Herrn ist nun gekommen und über sie kommt eine Strafe, die nicht zurückzuweisen ist.“
(Οι Άγγελοι είπαν): «Ω, Αβραάμ! Άφησέ το αυτό (το θέμα και τη συζήτηση για την τιμωρία του λαού του Λωτ), γιατί πράγματι η εντολή του Κυρίου σου έχει ήδη έρθει, και θα τους έρθει μία τιμωρία που δε θα αποτραπεί (ούτε με συζήτηση, ούτε με επικλήσεις).»
(फ़रिश्तों ने कहा :) ऐ इबराहीम! इस बात को रहने दो। निःसंदेह तुम्हारे पालनहार का आदेश[28] आ चुका तथा उनपर ऐसी यातना आने वाली है, जो हटाई जाने वाली नहीं।
”O Ibrāhīm, rinuncia a ciò! In verità l’ordine del tuo Dio è arrivato, e sta per arrivare loro una punizione inevitabile.”
76. „Ibrahimai (Abraomai), palik tai. Iš tiesų, tavo Viešpaties Įsakymas buvo paskelbtas. Iš tiesų, ateis pas juos bausmė, kuri negali būti grąžinta.“
Yaa Ibraahiim! (Falmii) kana irraa gara gali. Dhugumatti, ajajni Gooftaa keetii dhufee jira. Isaan adabbiin hin deebifamne isaanitti dhufa. [16]
О Ибрахим! Оставь это. Воистину, веление твоего Господа уже пришло, и, воистину, придёт к ним наказание, которого не отвратить.
„О Авраме, прођи се тога, стигло је наређење од твога Господара; њих ће да стигне неизбежна патња!“
(Akaambiwa): Ewe Ibrahim! Achilia mbali haya! Hakika amri ya Mola wako Mlezi imekwishakuja, na hakika hao itawafikia adhabu isiyorudishwa nyuma.
[Budbärarna sa:] ”Abraham, upphör med detta! Din Herres befallning har redan kommit, och ett straff som inte kan avvändas ska drabba dem.”
Elçilerimiz: “Ey İbrahim bundan vazgeç! Çünkü Rabbinin emri kesin olarak gelmiştir. Şüphesiz onlara geri döndürülemeyecek bir azap gelecektir.” dediler.
اے ابراہیم! اس خیال کو چھوڑ دیجئے، آپ کے رب کا حکم آپہنچا ہے، اور ان پر نہ ٹالے جانے واﻻ عذاب ضرور آنے واﻻ 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.

Verily, Abraham was right kind, pitiful, relenting
For Abraham was a pitiful, compassionate, and devout person

And his people came rushing towards him-they were in the habit of committing sins. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear God, and do not embarrass me before my guests. Is there not one reasonable man among you?"
And his people came unto him, running towards him - and before then they used to commit abominations - He said: O my people! Here are my daughters! They are purer for you. Beware of Allah, and degrade me not in (the person of) my guests. Is there not among you any upright man
And his people came to him, rushing at him, for before that they used to work evil. He said, 'O my people! here are my daughters, they are purer for you; then, fear God, and do not disgrace me through my guests;- is there not among you one right-thinking man
And his people came rushing on towards him, for aforetime had they wrought this wickedness. He said, "O my people! these my daughters will be purer for you: fear God, and put me not to shame in my guests. Is there no rightminded man among you
And his people came unto him, rushing upon him: And they had formerly been guilty of wickedness. Lot said unto them, O my people, these my daughters are more lawful for you: Therefore fear God, and put me not to shame by wronging my guests. Is there not a man of prudence among you

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 — 0.77 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.
