The translators word this verse differently
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.
It is the same; whether one of you conceals his speech, or declares it; whether he goes into hiding by night, or goes out by day.

Është njëlloj (për Të) si ai nga ju që i mban të fshehta fjalët e tij dhe ai që i thotë sheshazi, si ai që fshihet natën dhe ai që del hapur ditën.
তোমাদের মধ্যে কেউ কথা গোপন রাখুক বা প্রকাশ করুক, আর রাতে লুকিয়ে করুক বা দিনে প্রকাশ্যে করুক, সবই তাঁর নিকট সমান (তিনি সবার সকল অবস্থা সম্পর্কে অবগত আছেন )।

თქვენ შორის (ადამიანებს შორის) თანასწორნი არიან: ისინი, ვინც დამალავს საუბარს და ის, ვინც ღიად საუბრობს, და ისიც, ვინც (თავის საქმეებს) ღამით მალავს და დღისით ღიად მოქმედებს (ფარულიც და აშკარაც ალლაჰის წინაშე ერნაირია).
Es ist gleich, ob jemand von euch die Worte geheimhält oder sie laut vernehmbar äußert und ob jemand sich bei Nacht verbirgt oder bei Tag offen (mit seinen Taten) hervortritt.
Είναι το ίδιο (ενώπιόν Του και στη γνώση Του), όποιος από σας μιλάει κρυφά και όποιος μιλάει φωναχτά, και όποιος κρύβεται τη νύχτα και όποιος φαίνεται την ημέρα.
तुममें से जो चुपके से बात करे और जो ऊँची आवाज़ में बोले तथा जो रात के अंधेरे में छिपा हुआ है और जो दिन के उजाले में चलने वाला है, (उसके लिए) बराबर है।
Tra di voi è pari chi ha parlato in segreto e chi apertamente, o chi si è nascosto di notte e chi andava in giro di giorno:

Равны перед Ним и тот из вас, кто скрывает речь, и тот, кто произносит её вслух; и тот, кто таится ночью, и тот, кто свободно движется днём.
За Њега је једнак онај од вас који тихо говори и онај који то гласно чини, онај који се ноћу скрива и онај који по дану хода.

För honom gör det ingen skillnad om någon talar tyst eller öppet, eller om någon gömmer sig i nattens mörker eller visar sig i dagens ljus.
(O’na göre) içinizden sözü gizleyen ile açığa vuran, geceleyin gizlenenle gündüz ortaya çıkan birdir.
تم میں سے کسی کا اپنی بات کو چھپا کر کہنا اور بﺂواز بلند اسے کہنا اور جو رات کو چھپا ہوا ہو اور جو دن میں چل رہا ہو، سب اللہ پر برابر ویکساں ہیں.
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.

God knows what every female bears, and every increase and decrease of the wombs. With Him, everything is by measure.
Allah knoweth that which every female beareth and that which the wombs absorb and that which they grow. And everything with Him is measured
God knows what each female bears, and what the wombs fall short of or add; for dimensions of every thing are with Him
God knoweth the burden of every female, and how much their wombs lessen and enlarge: with Him everything is by measure
God knoweth what every female beareth in her womb; and what the wombs want or exceed of their due time, or number of young. With him is every thing regulated according to a determined measure

He has a succession; before him and behind him, protecting him by God's command. God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is within themselves. And if God wills any hardship for a people, there is no turning it back;, and apart from Him they have no protector.
For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, who guard him by Allah's command. Lo! Allah changeth not the condition of a folk until they (first) change that which is in their hearts; and if Allah willeth misfortune for a folk there is none that can repel it, nor have they a defender beside Him
Each of them has pursuers before him and behind him, to keep guard over him at the command of God; verily, God changes not what a people has until they change it for themselves. And when God wishes evil to a people there is no averting it, nor have they a protector beside Him
Each hath a succession of Angels before him and behind him, who watch over him by God's behest. Verily, God will not change his gifts to men, till they change what is in themselves: and when God willeth evil unto men, there is none can turn it away, nor have they any protector beside Him
Each of them hath angels mutually succeeding each other, before him, and behind him; they watch him by the command of God. Verily God will not change his grace which is in men, until they change the disposition in their souls by sin. When God willeth evil on a people, there shall be none to avert it; neither shall they have any protector beside Him

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 — 0.72 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.
