And when we change one (sign) verse for another, and God knoweth best what He revealeth, they say, "Thou art only a fabricator." Nay! but most of them have no knowledge

Kur Ne zëvendësojmë një ajet me ndonjë tjetër, - ndërkohë Allahu e di mirë çfarë shpall, - ata thonë: "Ti je njëmend trillues!" Jo, por shumica e tyre nuk dinë.
আর আমি যখন (আল-কুরআনের) একটি আয়াতের স্থানে পরিবর্তন করে আরেকটি আয়াত দেই- আল্লাহই ভালো জানেন সে সম্পর্কে, যা তিনি নাযিল করবেন- তখন তারা বলে: ‘তুমি তো কেবল মিথ্যা রটনাকারী।’ রবং (আয়াত রহিত হওয়ার ব্যাপারে আল্লাহর চূড়ান্ত হিকমত সম্পর্কে) তাদের অধিকাংশই জানে না।
Kad Mi ajet dokinemo drugim – a Allah najbolje zna što objavljuje – oni govore: “Ti samo izmišljaš!” A nije tako, nego većina njih ne zna.

და როდესაც ჩვენ ვცვლით (ყურანში) ერთ აიათს მეორით (როდესაც გაუქმდება ერთი აიათის კითხვა ან დებულება), – ხოლო ჭეშმარიტად ალლაჰმა უკეთ იცის, რას ავლენს [მან იცის, რა არის უკეთესი მისი მონებისთვის], – ისინი [ურწმუნონი] ამბობენ: «შენ (ო, მუჰამმად) მხოლოდ მომგონებელი ხარ (რომელიც იგონებს იმას, რაც ალლაჰს არ უთქვამს)!» (მაგრამ) მათმა უმრავლესობამ არ იცის [ალლაჰმა კი იცის ამ ცვლილების მიზეზი და სიბრძნე]!
Und wenn Wir einen Vers anstelle eines (anderen) Verses austauschen - und Allah weiß sehr wohl, was Er offenbart -, sagen sie: „Wahrlich, du ersinnst nur Lügen.“ Vielmehr wissen die meisten von ihnen nicht.
Όταν αντικαθιστούμε έναν κανόνα που αναφέρεται σε ένα Εδάφιο με έναν άλλον – και ο Αλλάχ γνωρίζει καλύτερα τι στέλνει (από τους κανόνες και τι αλλάζει απ' αυτούς σύμφωνα με τη σοφία Του και για το καλό των δούλων Του) – τότε λένε (οι άπιστοι σε σένα, ω, Μωχάμμαντ): «Στ' αλήθεια, είσαι ψεύτης (που αποδίδεις στον Αλλάχ λόγια που δεν τα είπε).» Όχι (δεν ισχύει αυτό που λένε), αλλά οι περισσότεροι απ' αυτούς δε γνωρίζουν (καλά τον Αλλάχ, τους κανόνες της θρησκείας Του, και τη Σοφία Του).
और जब हम किसी आयत के स्थान पर कोई आयत बदलकर लाते हैं, और अल्लाह अधिक जानने वाला है, जो वह उतारता है, तो वे कहते हैं : तू तो गढ़कर लाने वाला है, बल्कि उनके अधिकतर लोग नहीं जानते।
E se cambiamo un versetto con un altro – e Allāh sa meglio ciò che fa scendere – dicono: «In verità sei un impostore!» Ma gran parte di loro non sa.
101. Ir kai Mes pakeičiame (Korano) Eilutę kita – ir Allahas žino geriausiai tai, ką Jis nuleidžia – jie (netikintieji) sako: „Tu (Muchammedai ﷺ ) esi (ne kas kitas kaip) tik Muftari (klastotojas, melagis)!“ Ne, tačiau dauguma jų nežino.
Yeroo keeyyata tokko bakka keeyyata biraa jijjiirre, Rabbiin waan buusu beekaadha; “Ati (yaa Muhammad!) sobaadha” jedhu. Dhugumatti irra baay’een isaanii hin beekanu. [7]
И когда Мы заменяем один аят другим — а Аллах лучше знает, что Он ниспосылает, — они говорят: «Воистину, ты лишь измышляешь». Нет, напротив, большинство из них не знает.
Када Ми пропис заменимо другим - а Аллах најбоље зна шта објављује - они говоре: „Ти само измишљаш!“ А није тако, него већина њих не зна.
Na tunapobadilisha Ishara pahala pa Ishara, na Mwenyezi Mungu anayajua anayoyateremsha, wanasema: "Wewe si chochote ila ni mzushi tu", lakini wengi wao hawajui tu.
När vi ersätter en vers med en annan – och Gud vet mycket väl vad han sänder ner – säger de att du bara hittar på. Nej, de flesta av dem förstår inte.
Biz bir ayeti değiştirip yerine başka bir ayet getirdiğimiz zaman -ki Allah, neyi indireceğini gayet iyi bilir- onlar Peygamber’e, “Sen ancak uyduruyorsun” derler. Hayır! Onların çoğu bilmezler.
اور جب ہم کسی آیت کی جگہ دوسری آیت بدل دیتے ہیں اور جو کچھ اللہ تعالیٰ نازل فرماتا ہے اسے وه خوب جانتا ہے تو یہ کہتے ہیں کہ تو تو بہتان باز ہے۔ بات یہ ہے کہ ان میں سے اکثر جانتے ہی نہیں.[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.

He has no authority over those who believe and trust in their Lord.
Lo! he hath no power over those who believe and put trust in their Lord
Verily, he has no power over those who believe and who upon their Lord rely
For no power hath he over those who believe, and put their trust in their Lord
He hath no power over those who believe, and who put their confidence in their Lord
إِنَّمَا سُلْطَٰنُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَهُۥ وَٱلَّذِينَ هُم بِهِۦ مُشْرِكُونَ

His authority is only over those who follow him, and those who associate others with Him.
His power is only over those who make a friend of him, and those who ascribe partners unto Him (Allah)
His power is only over those who take him for a patron, and over the idolaters
But only hath he power over those who turn away from God, and join other deities with Him
but his power is over those only, who take him for their patron, and who give companions unto God

Say, 'The Holy Spirit brought it down from thy Lord in truth, to stablish those who believe, and for a guidance and glad tidings to those who are resigned

We are well aware that they say, "It is a human being who is teaching him." But the tongue of him they allude to is foreign, while this is a clear Arabic tongue.
And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech
We knew that they said, 'It is only some mortal who teaches him.' - The tongue of him they lean towards is barbarous, and this is plain Arabic
We also know that they say, "Surely a certain person teacheth him." But the tongue of him at whom they hint is foreign, while this Koran is in the plain Arabic
We also know that they say, verily, a certain man teacheth him to compose the Koran. The tongue of the person unto whom they incline, is a foreign tongue; but this, wherein the Koran is written, is the perspicuous Arabic tongue

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 — 0.60 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.
