E, ata që nuk besuan, thonë: "Sikur t'i zbritej atij një mrekulli nga Zoti i tij!" Thuaju: “Allahu e humb atë që do dhe udhëzon në rrugën e Tij ata që kthehen të penduar tek Ai,
আর যারা কুফরী করেছে তারা বলে: ‘(মুহাম্মাদ যদি নবীই হয় তাহলে) তার নিকট তার রবের পক্ষ থেকে কোনো নিদর্শন কেন নাযিল হয় না। ‘ (হে রাসূল! তুমি তাদেরকে) বলো: ‘নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ যাকে ইচ্ছা পথভ্রষ্ট করেন এবং (তাওবার মাধ্যমে) যে তাঁর অভিমুখী হয়, তাকে তিনি তাঁর পথ দেখান।’(৭)
Oni koji ne vjeruju govore: "Zašto mu od Gospodara njegova nije spušten kakav znak?" Reci: "Allah odvodi na stranputicu onoga koga On hoće, a k Sebi upućuje onoga ko Mu se pokajnički obraća."

Und diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, sagen: „Wenn doch ein Zeichen von seinem Herrn auf ihn hinabgesandt würde!“ Sag: „Wahrlich, Allah lässt in die Irre gehen, wen Er will, und leitet zu Sich, wer sich Ihm reuig zuwendet.“
Οι άπιστοι λένε (από πείσμα και ισχυρογνωμοσύνη): «Αν του στελνόταν (στον Μωχάμμαντ) ένα Σημάδι από τον Κύριό του (απ' αυτά που ζητήσαμε, όπως το να μετατρέψει το λόφο Ασ-Σάφα σε χρυσό ή να αφαιρέσει τα βουνά της Μάκκας και να κάνει στις θέσεις τους κήπους, για να πιστέψουμε)!» Πες: «Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ οδηγεί (με τη Δικαιοσύνη Του) όποιον θέλει στο να παραστρατήσει, και καθοδηγεί προς Αυτόν (με τη Χάρη Του) όποιον στρέφεται προς Αυτόν με μεταμέλεια.»
और जिन लोगों ने कुफ़्र किया, वे कहते हैं : इसपर इसके पालनहार की ओर से कोई निशानी क्यों नहीं उतारी गई? (ऐ नबी!) आप कह दें : निःसंदेह अल्लाह जिसे चाहता है, पथभ्रष्ट कर देता है। और अपनी ओर उसे राह दिखाता है, जो उसकी ओर ध्यानमग्न हो।
E dicono i miscredenti: «Se fosse fatto scendere su di lui un Segno dal suo Dio!» Di’: «In verità Allāh svia chi vuole e guida a Sé chi torna a Lui.”

Na wanasema wale waliokufuru: Kwa nini hakuteremshiwa ishara kutoka kwa Mola wake Mlezi? Sema: Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu humpoteza amtakaye, na humwongoa anayerudi kwake.
De otrogna frågar: ”Varför har han inte fått ett tecken från sin Herre?” Säg: ”Gud vilseleder vem han vill och vägleder till sig den som vänder sig [till honom] i ånger.”
Kâfir olanlar: “Kendisine Rabbinden bir âyet (mûcize) indirilmeli değil miydi?” derler. De ki: “Şüphesiz Allah dilediğini saptırır ve kendisine yönelenleri de doğru yola iletir.”
کافر کہتے ہیں کہ اس پر کوئی نشانی (معجزه) کیوں نازل نہیں کیا گیا؟ جواب دے دیجئے کہ جسے اللہ گمراه کرنا چاہے کر دیتا ہے اور جو اس کی طرف جھکے اسے راستہ دکھا دیتا ہے.
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
As for those who violate the promise to God, after pledging to keep it, and sever what God has commanded to be joined, and spread corruption on earth-these, the curse will be upon them, and they will have the Worst Home.
And those who break the covenant of Allah after ratifying it, and sever that which Allah hath commanded should be joined, and make mischief in the earth: theirs is the curse and theirs the ill abode
And those who break God's covenant after compacting for it, and who cut asunder what God hath bidden to be joined, and who do evil in the earth, these - upon them is the curse of God, and for them is an evil abode
But those who, after having contracted it, break their covenant with God, and cut asunder what God hath bidden to be united, and commit misdeeds on the earth, these, a curse awaiteth them, and an ill abode
But as for those who violate the covenant of God, after the establishment thereof, and who cut in sunder that which God hath commanded to be joined, and act corruptly in the earth, on them shall a curse fall, and they shall have a miserable dwelling in hell

The translators word this verse differently
God dispenses the provisions to whomever He wills, and restricts. And they delight in the worldly life; yet the worldly life, compared to the Hereafter, is only enjoyment.
Allah enlargeth livelihood for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will); and they rejoice in the life of the world, whereas the life of the world is but brief comfort as compared with the Hereafter
God extends his bounty freely to whomsoever He will, or He metes it out; and they rejoice in the life of this world, but the life of this world is naught but a (temporary) provision compared with the next
God is open-handed with supplies to whom he will, or is sparing. They rejoice in the life that now is, but this present life is but a passing good, in respect of the life to come
God giveth provision in abundance unto whom He pleaseth, and is sparing unto whom He pleaseth. Those of Mecca rejoice in the present life; although the present life, in respect of the future, is but a precarious provision

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.

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.
