Mandej, pasi i panë provat (e pafajësisë së Jusufit), atyre iu duk e udhës që ta burgosnin për një kohë.[4]
তারপর (ইউসুফের নির্দোষ প্রমাণের ও নারীদের ছলচাতুরীর) বিভিন্ন নিদর্শনাবলি দেখার পরে তাদের কাছে মনে হলো যে, তাকে কিছু কাল পর্যন্ত অবশ্যই কারাগারে রাখতে হবে, (যাতে উক্ত অপমানজনক খবর প্রকাশ না পায়)।
A potom, kada su vidjeli dokaze da je nedužan, donesoše odluku da ga za neko vrijeme smjeste u tamnicu.

მას შემდეგ, რაც იხილეს ნიშნები (არგუმენტები იუსუფის უდანაშაულობის), მათ გადაწყვიტეს, რომ იგი გარკვეული დროით ჩაესვათ ციხეში.
Dann, nachdem sie die Zeichen (seiner Unschuld) gesehen hatten, waren sie (trotzdem) der Ansicht, ihn für eine gewisse Zeit im Gefängnis einzusperren.
Έπειτα φάνηκε σ' αυτούς (στον υπουργό και στους βοηθούς του) αφού είδαν τις αποδείξεις (της αθωότητας του Ιωσήφ) ότι θα πρέπει να τον φυλακίσουν για κάποιο χρόνο (για να μην αποκαλυφθεί το σκάνδαλο).
फिर उन लोगों[9] ने निशानियाँ[10] देख लेने के बाद यही उचित समझा कि उस (यूसुफ़) को एक अवधि तक के लिए जेल में रखें।
Dopo aver visto le prove, decisero di metterlo in prigione per un periodo.

Затем, после того как они увидели знамения, им показалось уместным непременно заключить его в темницу до поры.
После им на памет паде, иако су се били уверили да је недужан, да га за неко време баце у тамницу.
Kisha ikawadhihirikia baada ya kuona Ishara mbalimbali kuwa lazima wamfunge kwa muda.
Men därefter ansåg de, trots att de sett bevisen [för hans oskuld], att de borde sätta honom i fängelse för en tid.
Sonra onlara (Yûsuf'un iffetine ilişkin) delilleri görmelerinin ardından, onu belli bir vakte kadar zindana atma (görüşü) belirdi.
پھر ان تمام نشانیوں کے دیکھ لینے کے بعد بھی انہیں یہی مصلحت معلوم ہوئی کہ یوسف کو کچھ مدت کے لئے قید خانہ میں رکھیں.[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.

He said, "My Lord, prison is more desirable to me than what they call me to. Unless You turn their scheming away from me, I may yield to them, and become one of the ignorant."
He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish
Said he, 'My Lord! Prison is dearer to me than what they call on me to do; and unless Thou turn from me their craftiness I shall feel a passion for them and shall be among the ignorant
He said, "O my Lord! I prefer the prison to compliance with their bidding: but unless thou turn away their snares from me, I shall play the youth with them, and become one of the unwise
Joseph said, O Lord, a prison is more eligible unto me than the crime to which they invite me; but unless thou turn aside their snares from me, I shall youthfully incline unto them, and I shall become one of the foolish

Thereupon his Lord answered him, and diverted their scheming away from him. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
So his Lord heard his prayer and fended off their wiles from him. Lo! He is Hearer, Knower
And his Lord answered him and turned from him their craftiness; verily, He both hears and knows
And his Lord heard him and turned aside their snares from him: for he is the Hearer, the Knower
Wherefore his Lord heard him, and turned aside their snare from him, for He both heareth and knoweth

Two youth entered the prison with him. One of them said, "I see myself pressing wine." The other said, "I see myself carrying bread on my head, from which the birds are eating. Tell us their interpretation-we see that you are one of the righteous."
And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good (at interpretation)
And there entered the prison with him two young men. Said one of them, 'Verily, I see myself pressing wine.' And the other said, 'Verily, I see myself bearing on my head loaves from which the birds do eat; inform us of the interpretation thereof; verily, we see that thou art of those who do good

And there entered into the prison with him two of the king's servants. One of them said, it seemed to me in my dream that I pressed wine out of grapes.

He said, "No food is served to you, but I have informed you about it before you have received it. That is some of what my Lord has taught me. I have forsaken the tradition of people who do not believe in God; and regarding the Hereafter, they are deniers."

He said, 'There shall not come to you any food with which ye are provided, but I will inform you both of its interpretation before it comes to you.

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.43 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.
