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.
The Sabbath was decreed only for those who differed about it. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their differences.

შაბათი განისაზღვრა მხოლოდ მათთვის [იუდეველთათვის], რომლებმაც უთანხმოება გამოავლინეს მასთან დაკავშირებით (და აირჩიეს ეს დღე პარასკევის ნაცვლად). და, ჭეშმარიტად, შენი უფალი განიკითხავს მათ აღდგომის დღეს იმასთან დაკავშირებით, რაშიც [რწმენის საკითხებში] ისინი განასხვავდნენ.
Der Sabbat ist ja nur denjenigen auferlegt worden, die über ihn uneinig waren. Und dein Herr wird ja fürwahr am Tag der Auferstehung zwischen ihnen über das richten, worüber sie uneinig zu sein pflegten.
Πράγματι, το Σάββατο ορίστηκε (ως μέρα λατρείας) μόνο γι' εκείνους (τους Εβραίους) που διέφεραν σ' αυτό (παρόλο που ο Μωυσής τους διέταξε να σέβονται την Παρασκευή, αλλά εκείνοι διέφεραν και επέλεξαν το Σάββατο, και έτσι επέβαλε ο Αλλάχ το Σάββατο σ' εκείνους με πιο δύσκολους όρους ως ποινή γι' αυτούς). Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σου (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) θα κρίνει ανάμεσά τους την Ημέρα της Ανάστασης σε ό,τι διέφεραν.
सब्त' (शनिवार के दिन का सम्मान)[58] तो केवल उन लोगों पर अनिवार्य किया गया, जिन्होंने उसके विषय में मतभेद किया। और निःसंदेह आपका पालनहार उनके बीच क़ियामत के दिन निश्चय उस विषय में फ़ैसला करेगा, जिसमें वे मतभेद किया करते थे।
In verità il Sabato fu istituito per quelli che erano discordi su di esso. E in verità il tuo Dio giudicherà tra di loro, il giorno del Giudizio, sulle loro discordie.
124. Šabas buvo paskirtas tik tiems, kurie ginčijosi dėl jo, ir iš tiesų, jūsų Viešpats teis juos Prikėlimo Dieną dėl to, kame jie nesutarė.

Воистину, суббота была предписана лишь тем, которые впали в разногласия о ней. И, воистину, твой Господь рассудит их в День воскресения в том, в чём они пребывали в разногласиях.
Светковање суботе прописано је онима који су имали о њој различита мишљења, и твој Господар ће на Судњем дану да пресуди у вези са оним у чему су се разилазили.
Hakika siku ya Sabato (Jumamosi) waliwekewa wale waliohitilafiana kuhusiana nayo. Na hakika Mola wako Mlezi bila ya shaka atahukumu baina yao Siku ya Kiyama katika yale waliyokuwa wakihitilafiana.
Sabbatsbudet infördes endast för att de tvistat om [vilken dag de skulle helga]. Din Herre kommer förvisso att döma mellan dem på uppståndelsens dag i det de var oense om.
Cumartesi ancak hakkında ihtilafa düşenlere farz kılınmıştı. Şüphesiz Rabbin, ayrılığa düşmekte oldukları şeyler konusunda kıyamet günü aralarında hüküm verecektir.
ہفتے کے دن کی عظمت تو صرف ان لوگوں کے ذمے ہی ضروری کی گئی تھی جنہوں نے اس میں اختلاف کیا تھا[1] ، بات یہ ہے کہ آپ کا پروردگار خود ہی ان میں ان کے اختلاف کا فیصلہ قیامت کے دن کرے گا.
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.

Then We inspired you: "Follow the religion of Abraham, the Monotheist. He was not an idol-worshiper."
And afterward We inspired thee (Muhammad, saying): Follow the religion of Abraham, as one by nature upright. He was not of the idolaters
Then we inspired thee, 'Follow the faith of Abraham, a 'Hanif, for he was not of the idolaters
We have moreover revealed to thee that thou follow the religion of Abraham, the sound in faith. He was not of those who join gods with God
We have also spoken unto thee, O Mohammed, by revelation, saying, follow the religion of Abraham, who was othodox, and was no idolater

If you were to retaliate, retaliate to the same degree as the injury done to you. But if you resort to patience-it is better for the patient.
If ye punish, then punish with the like of that wherewith ye were afflicted. But if ye endure patiently, verily it is better for the patient
But if ye punish, punish (only) as ye were punished; but if ye are patient, it is best for those who are patient
If ye make reprisals, then make them to the same extent that ye were injured: but if ye can endure patiently, best will it be for the patiently enduring
If ye take vengeance on any, take a vengeance proportionable to the wrong which hath been done you; but if ye suffer wrong patiently, verily this will be better for the patient

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 — 0.49 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.
