Kujto kur Ibrahimi tha: "Zoti im, bëje të sigurt këtë qytet dhe më largo mua dhe bijtë e mi nga adhurimi i idhujve!
আর (হে রাসূল! তুমি) সে সময়ের কথা স্মরণ করো যখন ইবরাহীম (তার সন্তান ও স্ত্রীকে মক্কায় বসবাস করতে দিয়ে) বললো: ‘হে আমার রব! আপনি এ শহরকে (মক্কাকে) নিরাপদ (ও শান্তিময়) করে দিন এবং আমাকে ও আমার সন্তানদেরকে মূর্তি পূজা থেকে দূরে রাখুন।’
A kada Ibrahim reče: "Gospodaru moj, učini ovaj grad sigurnim i sačuvaj i mene i sinove moje od toga da obožavamo kumire.
A kada Abraham reče: "Gospodaru moj, učini ovaj grad sigurnim i sačuvaj i mene i sinove moje od toga da obožavamo kumire.
(Jaŋto) kadi tuma nde Ibraahiima maakunoo: "Joomi am, waɗu ndee saare hooliinde, ndaɗndaa kam e ɓiɗɓe am ɓen nde men ndewata sanamuuji.
და (გაიხსენე) (ო, შენ, შუამავალო) როდესაც იბრაჰიმმა (თავისი ვაჟი ისმაილი და მისი დედა ჰაჯარი მექქის ველზე დაასახლა) თქვა: «ჩემო უფალო! აქციე ეს ქალაქი [მექქა] უსაფრთხოდ და დამიცავი მე და ჩემი შვილები კერპთა თაყვანისცემისგან».
Und (gedenke,) als Ibrahim sagte: „Mein Herr, mache diese Ortschaft sicher, und halte mich und meine Kinder davon fern, den Götzen zu dienen.
Και (ανάφερε, ω, Μωχάμμαντ) όταν ο Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ) είπε: «Κύριέ μου! Κάνε αυτήν την πόλη (τη Μάκκα) ασφαλή, και κράτα εμένα και τα παιδιά μου μακριά από τη λατρεία των ειδώλων.
तथा (याद करो) जब इबराहीम ने कहा : ऐ मेरे पालनहार! इस नगर (मक्का) को शांति एवं सुरक्षा वाला बना दे, तथा मुझे और मेरे बेटों को मूर्तियों की पूजा करने से बचा ले।
E quando Ibrāhīm disse: «Dio mio, rendi pacifico questo paese e preserva me e i miei figli dall’adorazione degli idoli!
35. Ir (prisiminkite) kai Ibrahimas (Abraomas) sakė: „Mano Viešpatie, padaryk šitą miestą (Mekką) taikos ir saugumo (vieta), ir neleisk man ir mano sūnums garbinti stabų.
Yeroo Ibraahiim jedhe [yaadadhu]:“Gooftaa kiyya! Biyya kana (Makkaan) nagaya taasisi. Anaafi ilmaan kiyyaas taabotoota gabbaruu irraa nu fageessi. [10]
Вот Ибрахим сказал: «Господь мой! Сделай этот город безопасным и убереги меня и моих сынов от поклонения идолам.
А када Аврам рече: „Господару мој, учини овај град Мекку сигурним и сачувај и мене и моје синове од тога да обожавамо кипове.
Na Ibrahim aliposema: Ewe Mola wangu Mlezi! Ujaalie mji huu uwe wa amani, na uniepushe mimi na wanangu na kuabudu masanamu.
Minns när Abraham sa: ”Herre! Gör detta land till en trygg plats, och bevara mig och mina söner från att börja dyrka avgudabilder.
Hani İbrahim demişti ki: “Rabbim! Bu şehri güvenli kıl! Beni ve oğullarımı putlara ibadet etmekten uzak tut.''
(ابراہیم کی یہ دعا بھی یاد کرو) جب انہوں نے کہا کہ اے میرے پروردگار! اس شہر کو امن واﻻ بنادے[1] ، اور مجھے اور میری اوﻻد کو بت پرستی سے پناه دے.
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
And He has given you something of all what you asked. And if you were to count God's blessings, you would not be able to enumerate them. The human being is unfair and ungrateful.
And He giveth you of all ye ask of Him, and if ye would count the bounty of Allah ye cannot reckon it. Lo! man is verily a wrong-doer, an ingrate
and brought you of everything ye asked Him: but if ye try to number God's favours, ye cannot count them;- verily, man is very unjust and ungrateful
of everything which ye ask Him, giveth He to you; and if ye would reckon up the favours of God, ye cannot count them! Surely man is unjust, ungrateful
He giveth you of every thing which ye ask him; and of ye attempt to reckon up the favours of God, ye shall not be able to compute the same. Surely man is unjust and ungrateful

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 — 0.54 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.
