If We give the human being a taste of mercy from Us, and then withdraw it from him, he becomes despairing and ungrateful.

Nëse ia mundësojmë njeriut të shijojë një pjesë të mëshirës Sonë e pastaj ia heqim atë, ai bëhet krejtësisht i dëshpëruar dhe mosmirënjohës.
আর যদি আমি মানুষকে আমার পক্ষ থেকে রহমত(২) আস্বাদন করাই, অতঃপর তার থেকে তা ছিনিয়ে নেই, নিশ্চয় তখন সে হয়ে পড়ে হতাশ ও অকৃতজ্ঞ।
Ako čovjeku damo da osjeti milost Našu, pa mu je poslije uskratimo, tada on, zaista, pravi očajnik i nezahvalnik postaje.
Ako čovjeku damo da osjeti milost Našu, pa mu je poslije uskratimo, tada on, zaista, pravi očajnik i nezahvalnik postaje.
Si tawii min meeɗinii neɗɗaŋke on dokke immornde ka amen, refti min ɓoori nde e makko, kaŋko ko otaƴiido, yeddoowo.
და თუ ჩვენ ადამიანს ვაგრძნობინებთ წყალობას ჩვენგან, შემდეგ კი წავართმევთ მას, უეჭველად, იგი სასოწარკვეთილი და უმადურია.
Und wenn Wir dem Menschen von Uns (aus) Barmherzigkeit kosten lassen und sie ihm hierauf entziehen, ist er ja äußerst verzweifelt und (äußerst) undankbar.
Αν δίναμε στον άνθρωπο από το έλεός Μας (και τις χάρες Μας), και έπειτα του το αφαιρούσαμε, τότε γινόταν απελπισμένος και αχάριστος.
और यदि हम मनुष्य को अपनी तरफ़ से किसी दया (नेमत) का स्वाद चखा दें, फिर उसे उससे छीन लें, तो निश्चय ही वह अति निराश, बड़ा नाशुक्रा हो जाता है।
E se facessimo assaggiare all’uomo, da parte Nostra, della benevolenza, e poi gliela togliessimo, in verità lui sarebbe un disperato rinnegatore.
9. Ir jei Mes suteiksime žmogui Mūsų Gailestingumo skonį, ir tada atimsime jį iš jo, iš tiesų! Jis yra kupinas nevilties, nedėkingas.
Yoo Nuti rahmata Nu biraa ta’e Nama dhandhamsiifnee ergasii ishee isa irraa mulqine, (abdii muratee itti kafara). inni akkaan abdii murataa, akkaan kafaraadha.
И если Мы дадим человеку вкусить милость от Нас, а затем отнимем её у него, то, воистину, он — отчаивающийся, крайне неблагодарный.
Ако човеку дамо да осети Нашу милост, па му је после ускратимо, тада он, заиста, постаје прави очајник и незахвалник.
Na tukimwonjesha mtu rehema kutoka kwetu, kisha tukaiondoa kwake, yeye hakika ni mwenye kukata tamaa, mwingi wa kukufuru.
Om vi skänker människan av våra välsignelser och sedan tar dem ifrån henne blir hon djupt otröstlig och otacksam.
Eğer insanlara tarafımızdan bir rahmet tattırıp, sonra onu kendisinden geri alırsak, o artık ümitsiz bir nankör olur.
اور اگر ہم انسان کو اپنی کسی نعمت کا ذائقہ چکھا کر پھر اسے اس سے لے لیں تو وه بہت ہی ناامید اور بڑا ہی ناشکرا بن جاتا 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.

The translators word this verse differently
And if We postponed their punishment until a stated time, they would say, "What holds it back?" On the Day when it reaches them, it will not be averted from them, and what they used to ridicule will besiege them.
And if We delay for them the doom until a reckoned time, they will surely say: What withholdeth it? Verily on the day when it cometh unto them, it cannot be averted from them, and that which they derided will surround them
and if we keep back from them the torment to a stated generation, they will surely say, 'What hinders it?' - Aye! on the day it comes to them there is no turning it away from them, but that shall close in on them at which they mocked
And if we defer their chastisement to some definite time, they will exclaim, "What keepeth it back?" What! will it not come upon them on a day when there shall be none to avert it from them? And that at which they scoffed shall enclose them in on every side
And verily if We defer their punishment unto a determined season, they will say, what hindreth it from falling on us? Will it not come upon them on a day, wherein there shall be none to avert it from them; and that which they scoffed at shall encompass them

And if We give him a taste of prosperity, after some adversity has afflicted him, he will say, "Troubles have gone away from me." He becomes excited and proud.
And if We cause him to taste grace after some misfortune that had befallen him, he saith: The ills have gone from me. Lo! he is exultant, boastful
and if we make him taste of comfort after distress has touched him, he will surely say, 'The evils have gone away from me;' verily, then he is joyful and boasting
And if after trouble hath befallen him we cause him to taste our favour, he will surely exclaim, "The evils are passed away from me." Verily, he is joyous, boastful
And if we cause him to taste favour, after an affliction hath befallen him, he will surely say, the evils which I suffered are passed from me; and he will become joyful and insolent

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 — 0.53 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.
