And they carry your loads to territory you could not have reached without great hardship. Your Lord is Clement and Merciful.

Ato bartin barrët tuaja deri në vende në të cilat ju s'do të mund të arrinit, përveçse me vështirësi të madhe. Me të vërtetë, Allahu është Përdëllimtar e Mëshirëplotë.
আর এগুলো তোমাদের (পণ্য-সামগ্রীর) বোঝা বহন করে এমন দেশে নিয়ে যায়, ভীষণ কষ্ট ছাড়া যেখানে তোমরা পৌঁছতে পারতে না। নিশ্চয় তোমাদের রব বড়ই দয়াশীল, পরম দয়ালু।
A nosi vam i terete u mjesta u koja bez velike muke ne biste stigli – Gospodar vaš je, uistinu, blag i milostiv.

და ზიდავენ თქვენს ტვირთს ისეთ ქვეყანაში, რომელსაც ვერ მიაღწევდით, უდიდესი წვალების გარეშე. უეჭველად, თქვენი ღმერთი მართლაც შემწყნარებელი, მწყალობელია.
Und sie tragen eure Lasten in ein Land, das ihr (sonst) nur mit größter Mühe hättet erreichen können. Wahrlich, euer Herr ist ja gnädig und barmherzig.
Και μεταφέρουν τα βαριά σας φορτία σε άλλη πόλη που δε θα μπορούσατε να τη φτάσατε παρά με μεγάλη δυσκολία. Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σας είναι Ρα’ούφ (Πολυεπιεικής) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).
और वे तुम्हारे बोझ, उस नगर तक लादकर ले जाते हैं, जहाँ तक तुम बिना कठोर परिश्रम के कभी पहुँचने वाले न थे। निःसंदेह तुम्हारा पालनहार अति करुणामय, अत्यंत दयावान् है।
E trasportano i vostri carichi a certi paesi che non raggiungereste se non con grandissima fatica: in verità il vostro Dio è Tenero, Misericordioso.
7. Ir jie neša jūsų krovinius į žemę, kurios jūs negalėtumėte pasiekti, išskyrus su dideliu sunkumu jums. Iš tiesų, jūsų Viešpats yra kupinas Gerumo, Galestingiausiasis.

И он несёт на себе ваши грузы в край, которого вы не достигли бы иначе как с большим трудом. Воистину, ваш Господь — сострадательный, милующий.
А носи вам и терете у места у која, осим уз велике муке, не бисте стигли. Ваш Господар је, уистину, благ и милостив.
Nao hubeba mizigo yenu kupeleka kwenye miji msiyoweza kuifikia isipokuwa kwa mashaka ya nafsi. Hakika Mola wenu Mlezi ni Mpole mno, Mwingi wa kurehemu.
De bär er tunga last till platser som ni annars inte skulle ha nått utan stor möda. Er Herre är sannerligen förbarmande, barmhärtig.
Kendisine ancak ağır sıkıntıya katlanarak varabileceğiniz uzaklıktaki beldelere, yüklerinizi taşırlar. Hiç kuşkusuz Rabbiniz pek şefkatlidir, merhametlidir.
اور وه تمہارے بوجھ ان شہروں تک اٹھالے جاتے ہیں جہاں تم بغیر آدھی جان کیے پہنچ ہی نہیں سکتے تھے۔ یقیناً تمہارا رب بڑا ہی شفیق اور نہایت مہربان ہے.
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.

And the cattle! for you hath He created them: in them ye have warm garments and gainful uses; and of them ye eat
He hath likewise created the cattle for you: From them ye have wherewith to keep your selves warm, and other advantages; and of them do ye also eat

And they beseem you well when ye fetch them home and when ye drive them forth to pasture
And they are likewise a credit unto you, when ye drive them home in the evening, and when ye lead them forth to feed in the morning

It is for God to point out the paths, but some of them are flawed. Had He willed, He could have guided you all.
And Allah's is the direction of the way, and some (roads) go not straight. And had He willed He would have led you all aright
God's it is to show the path; from it some turn aside: but had He pleased He would have guided you one and all
Of God it is to point out "the Way." Some turn aside from it: but had He pleased, He had guided you all aright
It appertaineth unto God, to instruct men in the right way; and there is who turneth aside from the same: But if He had pleased, He would certainly have directed you all

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.
