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.
Abraham was an exemplary leader, devoted to God, a monotheist, and was not of the polytheists.

Vërtet, Ibrahimi ishte shembull i përkryer, i përkushtuar ndaj Allahut, besimtar i drejtë dhe nuk ishte idhujtar.
নিশ্চয় ইবরাহীম ছিলো একাই একটি উম্মাহ(৩৯), আল্লাহর একান্ত অনুগত ও একনিষ্ঠ। সে কখনো মুশরিকদের অন্তর্ভূক্ত ছিলো না।
Ibrahim je, doista, bio predvodnik, pokoran Allahu, pravi vjernik, nije bio od onih koji Allahu druge u obožavanju pridružuju.
Abraham je, doista, bio predvodnik, pokoran Allahu, pravi vjernik, nije bio od onih koji Allahu druge u obožavanju pridružuju.
Pellet, Ibraahiima woniino ɗowro koykinaniiɗo Alla, ooñiiɗo [e ɗiya diinaaji], o wonaana jeyaaɗo e sirkooɓe ɓeen.
ჭეშმარიტად, იბრაჰიმი იყო წინამძღოლი, ღვთისმოშიში [სრულიად დამორჩილებული და მორჩილი] ალლაჰის წინაშე, ჰანიფი [ერთი ღმერთის მორწმუნე], და არ ყოფილა იგი მრავალღმერთიანთაგან.
Wahrlich, Ibrahim war eine Gemeinschaft, Allah demütig ergeben, (und) ein Anhänger des rechten Glaubens, und er gehörte nicht zu den Götzendienern;
Πράγματι, ο Αβραάμ ήταν Ιμάμης (και παράδειγμα καλού χαρακτήρα για να ακολουθούν οι άνθρωποι της καθοδήγησης), υποταγμένος στη βούληση του Αλλάχ και απέκλινε από όλα τα μάταια δόγματα ακολουθώντας την αληθινή πίστη, και δεν ήταν απ' εκείνους που απέδιδαν στον Αλλάχ εταίρους στη λατρεία.
निःसंदेह इबराहीम एक समुदाय[57] थे। वह अल्लाह के आज्ञाकारी, उसकी ओर एकाग्र थे। और बहुदेववादियों (मुश्रिकों) में से नहीं थे।
In verità Ibrāhīm era un Imam, (Ummah[65]) obbediente ad Allāh, tendente alla retta via contro la perdizione, e non fu tra gli idolatri,
120. Iš tiesų, Ibrahimas (Abraomas) buvo Umma (lyderis, turintis visas geras, teisingas savybes) arba tauta, paklusni Allahui, Hanifa (t. y. negarbinti nieko kito, tik Allahą), ir nebuvo jis iš tų, kurie yra al-Mušrikūn (daugiadieviai, stabmeldžiai, netikintys Allaho Vienumą ir tie, kurie priskiria Allahui partnerius).
Ibraahiim hogganaa Rabbiif ajajamaa, qajeelaa ture. Mushrikoota irraa hin taane.
Воистину, Ибрахим был целой общиной, покорным Аллаху, приверженцем единобожия, и он не был из числа придающих Аллаху сотоварищей.
Аврам је био пример честитости, покоран Аллаху, прави верник, и није био од оних који су друге поред Аллаха обожавали.
Hakika Ibrahim alikuwa mfano mwema, mnyenyekevu kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, mnyoofu kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, wala hakuwa miongoni mwa washirikina.
Abraham var en exemplarisk förebild, helt hängiven Gud och en sann monoteist; han hörde inte till avgudadyrkarna.
Gerçekten İbrahim başlı başına bir ümmetti. Allah’a itaatkârdı, hanifdi, o müşriklerden olmamıştır.
بےشک ابراہیم پیشوا[1] اور اللہ تعالیٰ کے فرمانبردار اور یک طرفہ مخلص تھے۔ وه مشرکوں میں سے نہ تھے.
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.

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.
And unto those who are Jews We have forbidden that which We have already related unto thee. And We wronged them not, but they were wont to wrong themselves
For those who are Jews we have forbidden what we have narrated to thee before; we did not wrong them, but it was themselves they wronged
To the Jews we have forbidden that of which we before told thee; we injured them not, but they injured themselves
Unto the Jews did We forbid that which we have told thee formerly: And We did them no injury in that respect; but they injured their own souls

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

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 — 0.69 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.
