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.
Those before them planned, but the entire plan is up to God. He knows what every soul earns. Those who disbelieve will know to whom the Ultimate Home is.

Edhe ata që ishin para tyre bënin kurthe, por Allahu i zotëron të gjitha kurthet. Ai e di se çfarë bën çdo njeri, ndërsa jobesimtarët do ta kuptojnë se për kë do të jetë fundi i mirë.
আর তাদের পূর্ববর্তীরাও (নবীদেরকে ধোঁকা দিয়েছিল ও তাদের বিরুদ্ধে) ষড়যন্ত্র করেছিল; অথচ সকল কৌশলই আল্লাহর নিয়ন্ত্রণে। প্রতিটি ব্যক্তি যা অর্জন করে, তিনি তা জানেন।(১২) আর কাফিররা শীঘ্রই জানবে আখিরাতের শুভ পরিণতি (জান্নাত) কাদের জন্য।

და მათზე ადრე მყოფნიც ხრიკებს მიმართავდნენ, მაგრამ ყველა ხრიკი ალლაჰს ეკუთვნის. მან იცის, რას მოიხვეჭს ყოველი სული. და ურწმუნონი მალე გაიგებენ, ვისია საბოლოო (კარგი) სამყოფელი.
Diejenigen vor ihnen haben bereits Ränke geschmiedet. Aber alles an Ränken ist Allahs. Er weiß, was jede Seele erwirbt. Und die Ungläubigen werden zu wissen bekommen, für wen die letztendliche Wohnstätte sein wird.
Πράγματι, εκείνοι που ήταν πριν απ' αυτούς έκαναν σχέδια συνωμοτώντας (εναντίον των Αγγελιαφόρων τους, και τα σχέδιά τους ήταν μάταια). Ο Αλλάχ κυριαρχεί πάνω απ' όλα τα σχέδια (και κυριαρχεί πάνω απ' όλες τις αιτίες επίτευξής τους, και έτσι, δεν μπορεί κανένα σχέδιο να βλάψει κανέναν εκτός αν θέλει ο Αλλάχ, και το σχέδιο του Αλλάχ είναι το ισχυρότερο εναντίον των άπιστων και τίποτε δεν μπορεί να το αποτρέψει). Ξέρει τι κάνει κάθε ψυχή, και οι άπιστοι θα μάθουν ποιος θα έχει την καλύτερη τελική κατοικία (όταν αυτοί θα μπουν στη Φωτιά, ενώ οι πιστοί θα μπουν στον Παράδεισο στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή).
तथा निःसंदहे उन लोगों ने (भी) उपाय किए, जो इनसे पहले थे, किंतु वास्तविक योजना तो पूरी की पूरी अल्लाह के हाथ में है। वह जानता है जो कुछ प्रत्येक प्राणी कर रहा है। और काफ़िरों को शीघ्र ही पता चल जाएगा कि उस घर का अच्छा परिणाम किसके लिए है?
E tramarono quelli che hanno vissuto prima di loro, ma ad Allāh torna ogni trama. Lui sa ciò che ogni anima commette, e i miscredenti sapranno a chi appartiene l’Ultima Dimora.
42. Ir iš tiesų, tie anksčiau jų rengė sąmokslus, tačiau visas planavimas priklauso Allahui. Jis žino ką kiekvienas žmogus įgija, ir netikintieji sužinos, kas pasieks gerą pabaigą (paskutinį tikslą).

Уже строили хитрые замыслы те, которые были до них; но все замыслы — у Аллаха. Он знает, что приобретает каждая душа, и те, которые отвергли веру, ещё узнают, кому достанется исход Обители.
Сплетке су плели и они пре њих, само, Аллах је Господар свих сплетки, и Он зна шта свако заслужује. А неверници ће сигурно да сазнају коме ће леп исход да припадне на крају.
Na walipanga njama wale waliokuwa kabla yao, lakini Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mwenye njama zote. Yeye anajua kile inachochuma kila nafsi. Na makafiri watakuja jua ni ya nani nyumba (njema) ya mwisho (huko Akhera)!
Deras föregångare smidde också planer, men Gud råder över alla planer. Han vet vad var och en gör, och de otrogna kommer att få veta vem som ska få den goda, slutliga hemvisten.
Onlardan öncekiler de tuzak kurmuşlardı. Oysa tuzak tümüyle Allah'a aittir. O, her nefsin kazandığını bilir. Kâfirler de dünya yurdunun sonunun kime ait olduğunu bileceklerdir.

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
Whether We show you some of what We have promised them, or We cause you to die-your duty is to inform, and Ours is the reckoning.
Whether We let thee see something of that which We have promised them, or make thee die (before its happening), thine is but conveyance (of the message). Ours the reckoning
Either we will let thee see a part of what we threaten them with, or we will take thee to Ourself; but thy duty is only to deliver thy message, and ours to reckon up
Moreover, whether we cause thee to see the fulfilment of part of our menaces, or whether we take thee hence, verily, thy work is preaching only, and ours to take account
Moreover, whether We cause thee to see any part of that punishment wherewith we have threatened them, or whether We cause thee to die before it be inflicted on them, verily unto thee belongeth preaching only, but unto us inquisition

Do they not see how We deal with the earth, diminishing it at its edges? God judges; and nothing can hold back His judgment. And He is quick to settle accounts.
See they not how we aim to the land, reducing it of its outlying parts? (When) Allah doometh there is none that can postpone His doom, and He is swift at reckoning
Did they not see that we come to the land and diminish the borders thereof? God judges, and there is none to reverse His judgment, and He is swift at reckoning up
See they not that we come into their land and cut short its borders? God pronounceth a doom, and there is none to reverse his doom. And swift is He to take account
Do they not see that We come into their land, and straiten the borders thereof, by the conquests of the true believers? When God judgeth, there is none to reverse his judgment; and He will be swift in taking an account
13:42 — the verse above
وَيَقُولُ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ لَسْتَ مُرْسَلًا قُلْ كَفَىٰ بِٱللَّهِ شَهِيدًۢا بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَكُمْ وَمَنْ عِندَهُۥ عِلْمُ ٱلْكِتَٰبِ

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 — 0.70 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.
