For those who are Jews, We have prohibited what We related to you before. We did not wrong them, but they used to wrong their own selves.

Jevrejima smo zabranili ono o čemu smo ti prije kazivali; Mi njima nismo nepravedni bili, oni su sami sebi nepravdu nanijeli.

Und denjenigen, die dem Judentum angehören, haben Wir das verboten, worüber Wir dir zuvor berichtet haben. Und nicht Wir haben ihnen Unrecht getan, sondern sie haben sich selbst Unrecht zugefügt.
Στους Εβραίους, έχουμε απαγορεύσει αυτά (τα φαγητά) που σε έχουμε πληροφορήσει (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) πριν. Πράγματι, δεν τους αδικήσαμε (μ' αυτό), αλλά εκείνοι αδίκησαν τον εαυτό τους (με τις αμαρτίες, και έτσι τους απαγορέψαμε αυτά ως ποινή).
और यहूदियों पर हमने वे चीज़ें हराम कीं, जिनका वर्णन हम इससे पहले[56] आपके सामने कर चुके हैं। और हमने उनपर अत्याचार नहीं किया, परन्तु वे अपने आप ही पर अत्याचार करते थे।
E proibimmo agli ebrei ciò che ti abbiamo raccontato prima. E non abbiamo fatto loro torto, ma fecero torto a loro stessi.
118. O tiems, kurie yra judėjai, Mes uždraudėme tokius dalykus, kuriuos Mes paminėjome tau (Muchammedai ﷺ ) anksčiau [žr. eilutę 6:146]. Ir nenuskriaudėme jų, tačiau jie patys save nuskriaudė.

А тем, которые исповедуют иудаизм, Мы запретили то, о чём рассказали тебе прежде. И не Мы были к ним несправедливы, а они продолжали поступать несправедливо с самими собой.
Јеврејима смо забранили оно о чему смо ти пре казивали; Ми према њима нисмо неправедни били, они су сами себи неправду нанели.

Vi förbjöd judarna [att äta] vissa saker som vi tidigare berättat för dig om. Men vi gjorde dem ingen orätt; de gjorde endast orätt mot sig själva.
Sana anlattıklarımızı daha önce Yahudilere de haram kılmıştık. Biz onlara zulmetmemiştik, ama onlar kendilerine zulmediyorlardı.
اور یہودیوں پر جو کچھ ہم نے حرام کیا تھا اسے ہم پہلے ہی سے آپ کو سنا چکے ہیں[1] ، ہم نے ان پر ﻇلم نہیں کیا بلکہ وه خود اپنی جانوں پر ﻇلم کرتے رہے.
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 do not say of falsehood asserted by your tongues, "This is lawful, and this is unlawful," in order to invent lies and attribute them to God. Those who invent lies and attribute them to God will not succeed.
And speak not, concerning that which your own tongues qualify (as clean or unclean), the falsehood: "This is lawful, and this is forbidden," so that ye invent a lie against Allah. Lo! those who invent a lie against Allah will not succeed
And say not of the lie your tongues pronounce, 'This is lawful, and this is unlawful,' forging against God a lie; verily, those who forge against God a lie shall not prosper
And say not with a lie upon your tongue, "This is lawful and this is forbidden:" for so will ye invent a lie concerning God: but they who invent a lie of God shall not prosper
And say not that wherein your tongues utter a lie; this is lawful, and this is unlawful; that ye may devise a lie concerning God: For they who devise a lie concerning God, shall not prosper

A brief enjoyment-then they will have a painful punishment.

Brief their enjoyment, but sore their punishment
They shall have small enjoyment in this world, and in that which is to come they shall suffer a grievous torment

But towards those who do wrongs in ignorance, and then repent afterwards and reform, your Lord thereafter is Forgiving and Merciful.
Then lo! thy Lord - for those who do evil in ignorance and afterward repent and amend - lo! (for them) thy Lord is afterward indeed Forgiving, Merciful
Then, verily, thy Lord to those who have done evil in ignorance and then repented after that and done aright,- verily, thy Lord afterwards is forgiving and merciful
To those who have done evil in ignorance, then afterwards have repented and amended, verily thy Lord is in the end right gracious, merciful
Moreover thy Lord will be favourable unto those who do evil through ignorance; and afterwards repent and amend: Verily unto these will thy Lord be gracious and merciful, after their repentance

Abraham was an exemplary leader, devoted to God, a monotheist, and was not of the polytheists.
Lo! Abraham was a nation obedient to Allah, by nature upright, and he was not of the idolaters

Verily, Abraham was a leader in religion: obedient to God, sound in faith: he was not of those who join gods with God

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 — 0.63 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.
