Për ta ka dënim në këtë jetë, por dënimi i botës tjetër është më i rëndë dhe askush s'mund t'i mbrojë ata nga Allahu.
তাদের জন্যই রয়েছে দুনিয়ার জীবনে শাস্তি, আর আখিরাতের শাস্তি তো আরো কঠিন। আল্লাহর শাস্তি থেকে তাদের কোন রক্ষাকারী নেই।
Oni će u životu na ovome svijetu patiti, ali će patnja na onome svijetu sigurno teža biti; od Allaha ih niko neće odbraniti.
Oni će u životu na ovome svijetu patiti, ali će patnja na onome svijetu sigurno teža biti; od Allaha ih nitko neće obraniti.
Hino woodani ɓe lepte ka nguurndam aduna. Pellet ko lepte laakara ɗen ɓuri sattude, alanaa ɓe daɗndoowo (ɓe) e Alla.
მათ [ურწმუნოებს] ამქვეყნად სასჯელი ელით, ხოლო აღდგომის დღის სასჯელი უეჭველად, უფრო მძიმე იქნება. და მათ ალლაჰისგან ვერავინ დაიცავს!
Für sie gibt es (eine) Strafe im diesseitigen Leben; aber die Strafe des Jenseits ist fürwahr härter. Und sie haben vor Allah keinen Behüter.
Θα λάβουν τιμωρία στην εγκόσμια ζωή, αλλά η τιμωρία της Μέλλουσας Ζωής είναι πιο αυστηρή, και δε θα έχουν κανέναν προστάτη ενάντια στον Αλλάχ.
उनके लिए एक यातना सांसारिक जीवन में है और निश्चय आख़िरत की यातना अधिक कड़ी है। और उन्हें अल्लाह से कोई भी बचाने वाला नहीं।
C’è per loro una punizione in questa vita, e quella dell’Aldilà è molto più dura, e non avranno chi li salvi dalla punizione di Allāh.”
34. Jiems – kančia šio pasaulio gyvenime ir be abejonės – kančia Amžinybėje. Ir jie neturi Vak (gynėjo arba apsauginio) nuo Allaho.
Isaaniif jireenya addunyaa keessatti adabbiitu jira. adabbiin Aakhiraa immoo akkaan jabaadha. Ammas isaaniif (adabbii) Rabbii irraa ittisaan hin jiru.
Для них — наказание в мирской жизни, а наказание Последней жизни — ещё более тягостно. И нет у них от Аллаха никакого защитника.
Они ће да пате у животу на овом свету, али ће патња на Будућем свету сигурно да буде тежа; нико неће да их одбрани од Аллаха.
Wana adhabu katika uhai wa dunia, na adhabu ya Akhera hakuna shaka ndiyo ngumu zaidi. Na wala hawatakuwa na wa kuwalinda kutokana na Mwenyezi Mungu.
De ska straffas i detta liv, men straffet i det kommande livet är värre, och de har ingen som kan skydda dem från Gud.
Onlara dünya hayatında bir azap vardır. Ahiret azabı ise daha ağırdır ve onları Allah’ın azabından koruyacak kimse de yoktur.
ان کے لئے دنیا کی زندگی میں بھی عذاب ہے[1] ، اور آخرت کا عذاب تو بہت ہی زیاده سخت ہے[2]، انہیں اللہ کے غضب سے بچانے واﻻ کوئی بھی نہیں.
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
Messengers before you were ridiculed, but I granted the disbelievers respite, and then I seized them. What a punishment it was!
And verily messengers (of Allah) were mocked before thee, but long I bore with those who disbelieved. At length I seized them, and how (awful) was My punishment
Before thee have apostles been mocked at; and those who misbelieved have I allowed to range at large; and then it caught them up! How then was my punishment
Before thee indeed have apostles been mocked at; but though I bore long with the unbelievers, at last I seized upon them; - and how severe was my punishment
Apostles before thee have been laughed to scorn; and I permitted the infidels to enjoy a long and happy life: But afterwards I punished them; and how severe was the punishment which I inflicted on them

Is He who is watchful over the deeds of every soul? Yet they ascribe associates to God. Say, "Name them! Or are you informing Him of something on earth He does not know, or is it a show of words?" In fact, the scheming of those who disbelieve is made to appear good to them, and they are averted from the path. Whomever God misguides has no guide.
Is He Who is aware of the deserts of every soul (as he who is aware of nothing)? Yet they ascribe unto Allah partners. Say: Name them. Is it that ye would inform Him of something which He knoweth not in the earth? Or is it but a way of speaking? Nay but their contrivance is made seeming fair for those who disbelieve and they are kept from the right road. He whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide
Shall He who is standing over every soul (to note) what it has earned -? And they join partners with God! Say, 'Name them; can ye inform Him of what He does not know in the earth? or is it for name's sake only (that ye call upon them)? 'Nay, then, stratagem is made seemly to those who misbelieve, and they turn folks from the path of God! But whomsoever God doth lead astray, no guide has he
Who is it then that is standing over every soul to mark its actions? Yet have they set up associates with God. SAY: Name them. What! Would ye inform God of that which He knoweth not on the Earth? Or are they not a mere empty name? But prepared of old for the infidels was this fraud of theirs; and they are turned aside from the path; and whom God causeth to err, no guide shall there be for him
Who is it therefore that standeth over every soul, to observe that which it committeth? They attribute companions unto God. Say, name them: Will ye declare unto Him that which He knoweth not in the earth? Or will ye name them in outward speech only? But the deceitful procedure of the infidels was prepared for them; and they are turned aside from the right path: For he whom God shall cause to err, shall have no director

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 — 0.65 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.
