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.
Do not ever think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only defers them until a Day when the sights stare.

Kurrsesi mos mendo se Allahu është i pavëmendshëm ndaj asaj që bëjnë zullumqarët. Ai thjesht po i lë ata deri në një Ditë kur sytë e tyre do të shtangen,
আর যালিমরা যেসব আমল করছে, আল্লাহকে তুমি সে বিষয়ে(১৭) মোটেই গাফিল মনে করো না। আসলে তিনি (আল্লাহ) তো তাদের অবকাশ দিচ্ছেন, ঐ দিন পর্যন্ত যেদিন (শাস্তির ভয়াবহতা প্রত্যক্ষ করে ) চোখসমূহ পলকহীন তাকিয়ে থাকবে।
A ti nikako ne misli da Allah ne mari za onim što rade nepravedni! On ih samo pušta do Dana kada će im oči ostati otvorene!
A ti nikako ne misli da Allah ne mari za onim što rade nepravedni! On ih samo pušta do Dana kada će im oči ostati otvorene!
Wata sikku Alla ko belsindiiɗo e ko tooñooɓe ɓeen ngollata. Anndu ko o neeɓniranta ɓe, ko haa e ñalaande nde gite saafotoo e mun.
და არ გეგონოს (ო, შუამავალო), რომ ალლაჰი უყურადღებოა იმის მიმართ, თუ რას აკეთებენ უსამართლოები [ურწმუნოები]. ის მხოლოდ აყოვნებს მათ [სასჯელს] იმ დღემდე, როდესაც (შიშისგან) თვალები გაუცეცდებათ.
Und meine ja nicht, Allah sei unachtsam dessen, was die Ungerechten tun. Vielmehr stellt Er sie nur zurück bis zu einem Tag, an dem die Blicke starr werden.
Μην νομίζεις (ω, Προφήτη) ότι ο Αλλάχ αγνοεί ό,τι κάνουν οι άδικοι (όταν αναβάλλει την τιμωρία τους)! [Εδώ είναι μία προειδοποίηση για τον άδικο και παρηγοριά για τον αδικημένο]. Τους αναβάλλει μόνο για μια Ημέρα που τα μάτια θα κοιτούν ορθάνοιχτα προς τα πάνω (με φρίκη και χωρίς να ανοιγοκλείνουν).
और तुम अल्लाह को उससे हरगिज़ असावधान न समझो, जो अत्याचारी लोग कर रहे हैं! वह तो उन्हें उस दिन[16] के लिए विलंबित कर रहा है, जिस दिन आँखें खुली रह जाएँगी।
in verità li rimanderà a un giorno in cui gli uomini avranno gli occhi spalancati.
42. Nemanykite, kad Allahas nežino, ką daro Zalimūn (daugiadieviai ir nusidėjėliai), tačiau Jis suteikia jiems atokvėpį iki Dienos, kai akys žiūrės su siaubu.
Rabbiin Waan zaalimtoonni hojjatanirraa dagataa hin sehin. Kan Rabbiin booda isaan aansuuf guyyaa isa keessa ijoowwan banamtee ol fuudhamtuufi. [12]
Ни в коем случае не думай, что Аллах беспечен к тому, что совершают несправедливые. Воистину, Он лишь даёт им отсрочку до Дня, когда застынут взоры.
А ти никако не мисли да Аллах не мари за оним што раде неверници! Он им само одгађа до Дана када ће очи да им остану отворене!
Wala kamwe usidhani Mwenyezi Mungu ameghafilika mbali na wanayoyafanya madhalimu. Hakika Yeye anawaahirisha tu mpaka siku yatakapokodoka macho yao.
Tro aldrig att Gud är omedveten om vad de orättfärdiga gör; han skjuter bara upp deras [straff] till en dag då deras ögon ska stirra [av skräck],
Sakın, Allah’ı zalimlerin yaptıklarından habersiz sanma! Allah, onları ancak gözlerin dehşetle yerinden fırlayacağı bir güne erteliyor.
ناانصافوں کے اعمال سے اللہ کو غافل نہ سمجھ وه تو انہیں اس دن تک مہلت دیے ہوئے ہے جس دن آنکھیں پھٹی کی پھٹی ره جائیں گی.[1]
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.

Their necks outstretched, their heads upraised, their gaze unblinking, their hearts void.
As they come hurrying on in fear, their heads upraised, their gaze returning not to them, and their hearts as air
Hurrying on, raising up their heads, with their looks not turned back to them, and their hearts void
They hasten forward in fear; their heads upraised in supplication; their looks riveted; and their hearts a blank. Warn men therefore of the day when the punishment shall overtake them
They shall hasten forward, at the voice of the angel calling to judgment, and shall lift up their heads; they shall not be able to turn their sight from the object whereon it shall be fixed, and their hearts shall be void of sense, through excessive terror

And warn mankind of the Day when the punishment will come upon them, and the wicked will say, "Our Lord, defer us for a little while, and we will answer Your call and follow the messengers." Did you not swear before that there will be no passing away for you?
And warn mankind of a day when the doom will come upon them, and those who did wrong will say: Our Lord! Reprieve us for a little while. We will obey Thy call and will follow the messengers. (It will be answered): Did ye not swear before that there would be no end for you
and warn men of the day when the torment shall come! And those who have done wrong shall say, 'O our Lord! respite us until an appointed time nigh at hand, and we will respond to Thy call, and follow the apostles!' - 'What! did ye not swear before, ye should have no decline
And when the evil doers shall say, "O our Lord! respite us yet a little while: To thy call will we make answer; thine Apostles will we follow." "Did ye not once swear that no change should befal you
Wherefore do thou threaten men with the day, whereon their punishment shall be inflicted on them, and whereon those who have acted unjustly shall say, O Lord, give us respite unto a term near at hand; and we will obey thy call, and we will follow thy apostles.

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.
