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.
And the horses, and the mules, and the donkeys-for you to ride, and for luxury. And He creates what you do not know.

Edhe kuajt, mushkat e gomarët (i krijoi Ai), për t'u hipur dhe për hijeshi. Ai krijon edhe gjëra që nuk i dini.
আর (তিনি সৃষ্টি করেছেন) ঘোড়া, খচ্চর ও গাধা, তোমাদের আরোহণ ও শোভার জন্য এবং তিনি (আরোহণের মাধ্যম হিসেবে) সৃষ্টি করবেন এমন কিছু, যা তোমরা জানো না।

Und (erschaffen hat Er auch) die Pferde, die Maultiere und die Esel, damit ihr auf ihnen reitet, und (ebenso) als Schmuck. Und Er erschafft, was ihr nicht wisst.
Και (δημιούργησε) τα άλογα, τα μουλάρια και τα γαϊδούρια για να τα καβαλήσετε και ως στολισμό (για σας όταν τα καβαλάτε), και δημιουργεί και άλλα (δημιουργήματα) που δε γνωρίζετε.
तथा घोड़े, खच्चर और गधे पैदा किए, ताकि तुम उनपर सवार हो और शोभा के लिए। तथा वह (अल्लाह) ऐसी चीज़ें पैदा करता है, जो तुम नहीं जानते।[2]
E i cavalli, i muli e gli asini, perché li montiate e per mostra, e crea ciò che voi non sapete.

И коње, и мазге, и магарце - да их јашете, и као украс - а створиће и оно што не знате.

Och [han har skapat] hästar, mulor och åsnor för er att rida på och åt vars skönhet [ni kan glädjas]. Han kommer även att skapa sådant som ni ännu inte känner till.
Hem binesiniz diye, hem de süs olarak atları, katırları ve merkepleri de yarattı. Bilemeyeceğiniz daha nice şeyleri de yaratır.

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 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

And they carry your loads to territory you could not have reached without great hardship. Your Lord is Clement and Merciful.
And they bear your loads for you unto a land ye could not reach save with great trouble to yourselves. Lo! your Lord is Full of Pity, Merciful
And they bear your heavy burdens to towns which ye could not otherwise reach, except with great wretchedness of soul;- verily, your Lord is kind and merciful
And they carry your burdens to lands which ye could not else reach but with travail of soul: truly your Lord is full of goodness, and merciful
And they carry your burdens to a distant country, at which ye could not otherwise arrive, unless with great difficulty to yourselves; for your Lord is compassionate and merciful

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

It is He Who sends down for you from the sky water. From it is drink, and with it grows vegetation for grazing.
He it is Who sendeth down water from the sky, whence ye have drink, and whence are trees on which ye send your beasts to pasture

It is He who sendeth down rain out of Heaven: from it is your drink; and from it are the plants by which ye pasture
It is He who sendeth down from heaven rain water, whereof ye have to drink, and from which plants, whereon ye feed your cattle, receive their nourishment

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 — 0.58 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.
