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.
Do you not see that God created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He wills, He can do away with you, and bring a new creation.

A nuk e sheh se Allahu krijoi qiejt dhe Tokën me urtësi? Nëse do, Ai ju zhduk ju dhe krijon të tjerë (që e adhurojnë Atë).
(হে মানুষ!) তুমি কি দেখোনি যে আল্লাহ আসমানসমূহ ও যমিনকে যথার্থতার সঙ্গে সৃষ্টি করেছেন? তিনি চাইলে তোমাদেরকে নিশ্চিহ্ন করে দিতে পারেন এবং (তোমাদের স্থলে) নতুন সৃষ্টি নিয়ে আসতে পারেন।(৮)
Zar ne vidiš da je Allah nebesa i Zemlju s Istinom stvorio? Ako htjedne, vas će ukloniti i nova stvorenja dovesti.

განა არ გინახავთ , რომ ალლაჰმა შექმნა ცანი და მიწა (და ყველაფერი მათში) ჭეშმარიტებით [სრულყოფილი სახით]; თუ ის მოისურვებს, წაგართმევთ და მოიყვანს ახალ ქმნილებას [სხვებს, რომლებიც მას სრულიად დაემორჩილებიან].
Hast du denn nicht gesehen, dass Allah die Himmel und die Erde in Wahrheit erschaffen hat? Wenn Er will, lässt Er euch vergehen und bringt eine neue Schöpfung.
Δε βλέπεις (ω, άνθρωπε) ότι ο Αλλάχ δημιούργησε τους ουρανούς και τη Γη με την αλήθεια (και όχι άσκοπα); Αν θέλει, μπορεί να σας αφαιρέσει και να φέρει (αντί εσάς) μία νέα δημιουργία (που θα Τον υπακούει και θα Τον λατρεύει).
क्या तूने नहीं देखा कि अल्लाह ने आकाशों तथा धरती की रचना सत्य के साथ की है? यदि वह चाहे, तो तुम सब को ले जाए और एक नई रचना ले आए।
In verità non vedi che Allāh ha creato i cieli e la terra con la Verità? Se volesse, vi distruggerebbe, e realizzerebbe una nuova creazione.
19. Argi tu nematai, kad Allahas sukūrė dangus ir žemę teisingai? Jei Jis panorės, Jis gali panaikinti jus ir išvesti (jūsų vietoje) naują kūriniją!

Разве ты не видишь, что Аллах сотворил небеса и землю с истиной? Если Он пожелает, то погубит вас и приведёт [вместо вас] новое творение.
Зар не видиш да је Аллах небеса и Земљу створио са Истином? Ако жели вас ће уклонити и нова створења довести.
Je, huoni kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ameziumba mbingu na ardhi kwa Haki? Akitaka, anawaondoa na alete viumbe wapya!
Har du inte insett att Gud skapade himlarna och jorden med ett alldeles visst syfte? Om han vill kan han utplåna er och frambringa en ny skapelse.
Görmez misin ki, Allah gökleri ve yeri hak ile yaratmıştır? Eğer dilerse sizi yok eder ve yerinize yeniden başkalarını yaratır.
کیا تو نے نہیں دیکھا کہ اللہ تعالیٰ نے آسمانوں کو اور زمین کو بہترین تدبیر کے ساتھ پیدا کیا ہے۔ اگر وه چاہے تو تم سب کو فنا کردے اور نئی مخلوق ﻻئے.
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
He will guzzle it, but he will not swallow it. Death will come at him from every direction, but he will not die. And beyond this is relentless suffering.
Which he sippeth but can hardly swallow, and death cometh unto him from every side while yet he cannot die, and before him is a harsh doom
He shall try to swallow it, but cannot gulp it down; and death shall come upon him from every place, and yet he shall not die; and behind him shall be rigorous woe
He shall sup it and scarce swallow it for loathing; and Death shall assail him on every side, but he shall not die: and before him shall be seen a grievous torment
He shall sup it up by little and little, and he shall not easily let it pass his throat, because of its nauseousness; death also shall come upon him from every quarter, yet he shall not die; and before him shall there stand prepared a grievous torment

The likeness of those who disbelieve on their Lord,- their works are as ashes whereon the wind blows fiercely on a stormy day. They have no power at all over that which they have earned.' That is the remote error
A likeness of those who believe not in their Lord. Their works are like ashes which the wind scattereth on a stormy day: no advantage shall they gain from their works. This is the far-gone wandering

The translators word this verse differently
They will emerge before God, altogether. The weak will say to those who were proud, "We were your followers, can you protect us at all against God's punishment?" They will say, "Had God guided us, we would have guided you. It is the same for us; whether we mourn, or are patient; there is no asylum for us."
They all come forth unto their Lord. Then those who were despised say unto those who were scornful: We were unto you a following, can ye then avert from us aught of Allah's doom? They say: Had Allah guided us, we should have guided you. Whether we rage or patiently endure is (now) all one for us; we have no place of refuge
They all come out to God; and the weak say to those who were big with pride, 'We were followers of yours, can ye now avail us aught against God's torment?' They say, 'If God had guided us we would have guided you. It is the same to us if we are agonized or if we are penitent, we have no escape
All mankind shall come forth before God; and the weak shall say to the men of might, "Verily, we were your followers: will ye not then relieve us of some part of the vengeance of God?" They shall say, "If God had guided us, we surely had guided you. It is now all one whether we be impatient, or endure with patience. We have no escape
And they shall all come forth into the presence of God at the last day: And the weak among them shall say unto those who behaved themselves arrogantly, verily we were your followers on earth; will ye not therefore avert from us some part of the divine vengeance? They shall answer, if God had directed us aright, we had certainly directed you. It is equal unto us whether we bear our torments impatiently, or whether we endure them with patience: For we have no way to escape

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 — 0.52 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.
