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.
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
As the caravan set out, their father said, "I sense the presence of Joseph, though you may think I am senile."

Kur u nis karvani (nga Egjipti), babai i tyre tha: "Po e ndiej erën e Jusufit, edhe pse ju mund të mendoni se më kanë lënë mendtë."
আর (ইউসুফের ভাইদের ) কাফিলাটি যখন (মিসর থেকে) বের হলো, তাদের পিতা (ইয়া‘কূব নিজ বাড়ীর নিকটস্থ লোকদেরকে) বললো: ‘নিশ্চয় আমি ইউসুফের ঘ্রাণ পাচ্ছি; যদি তোমরা আমাকে নির্বোধ বৃদ্ধ মনে না করো।’
I kad karavan napusti Misir, otac njihov reče: "Ja zbilja osjećam miris Jusufov, samo ne recite da sam omatuhio."
I kad karavana napusti Egipat, otac njihov reče: "Ja zbilja osjećam miris Josipov, samo ne recite da sam omatuhio."
Nde seteeɓe ɓen ceerti [yalti Misra]ben maɓɓe maaki: "miin miɗo heɓa balangol Yuusufa, sinno wanaa fii yo on ɗaaytinam".
და როცა ქარავანი გაეშურა (ეგვიპტიდან), მათმა მამამ [იაყუბმა, რომელიც პალესტინაში იმყოფებოდა], გარშემომყოფებს უთხრა: «ჭეშმარიტად, მე ვგრძნობ იუსუფის სურნელს. ნეტავ, თქვენ არ გეგონოთ, რომ მე გონება დამეკარგა (და რაც არ ვიცი იმას ვლაპარაკობ)!»
Als nun die Karawane (von Ägypten aus) aufgebrochen war, sagte ihr Vater: „Wahrlich, ich nehme Yusufs Geruch war. Wenn ihr mich nur nicht bezichtigen würdet, Unsinn zu reden!“
Όταν ξεχώρησε το καραβάνι, ο πατέρας τους είπε (σε όσους ήταν μαζί του από τα παιδιά του και από την οικογένειά του): «Πράγματι, μυρίζω τη μυρωδιά του Ιωσήφ, αν και με χλευάζετε (λέγοντας ότι είμαι ηλικιωμένος που λέει αυτά που δεν ξέρει και χωρίς να αισθάνεται).»
और जब क़ाफ़िला चल पड़ा, तो उनके पिता ने कहा : निःसंदेह मुझे यूसुफ़ की सुगंध आ रही है, यदि तुम मुझे बहका हुआ न समझो।
E quando arrivò la carovana, loro padre disse: «In verità io sento l’odore di Yūsuf, anche se ora penserete che non dico il vero.»
94. Ir kai karavanas išvyko, jų tėvas tarė: „Aš iš tiesų jaučiu Jusufo (Juozapo) kvapą, jei tik jūs nemanote mane esant senu kvailiu (žmogumi, turinčiu silpną protą dėl seno amžiaus).“
Yeroma daldaltoonni (Misrarraa) achibaatee, (gara galaa deemte), abbaan isaanii nijedhe “ani foolii yuusufin argaa (hafuurri yuusuf natti urgaaye), Odoo isin totorra’aatti na yaaduu dhabdanii ”.
Когда караван тронулся в путь, их отец сказал: «Я действительно ощущаю запах Юсуфа — если только вы не сочтёте меня выжившим из ума».
И кад каравана напусти Мисир, њихов отац рече: „Ја заиста осећам Јосифов мирис, иако ви то поричете.“
Na ulipoondoka tu msafara, baba yao akasema: Hakika mimi ninaipata harufu ya Yusuf, lau kuwa hamtanituhumu.
När karavanen gav sig av sa deras far: ”Jag känner Josefs doft. Tro inte att jag yrar!”
Kafile (Mısır’dan) ayrılınca babaları (etrafındakilere) dedi ki: "Bana bunak demeyecekseniz, inanın ki Yûsuf’un kokusunu alıyorum."
جب یہ قافلہ جدا ہوا تو ان کے والد نے کہا کہ مجھے تو یوسف کی خوشبو آرہی ہے اگر تم مجھے سٹھیایا ہوا قرار نہ دو.[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.

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 — 0.63 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.
