আর (হে রাসূল!) স্মরণ করো, যেদিন আমি প্রত্যেক উম্মত থেকে একজন (রাসূলকে) সাক্ষী হিসেবে উত্থিত করবো। তারপর যারা কুফরী করেছে, তাদেরকে (ওযর পেশের) অনুমতি দেয়া হবে না এবং তাদেরকে (দুনিয়াতে ফিরে আমল করে আল্লাহকে সন্তুষ্ট করার জন্য) তাওবা করতে বলা হবে না।

და იმ დღეს [სასჯელის დღეს] ჩვენ გამოვგზავნით [გამოვიყვანთ] ყოველი თემიდან მოწმედ [მათ შუამავალს], (რომელიც დაამოწმებს მორწმუნეთა რწმენას და ურწმუნოთა ურწმუნოებას). შემდეგ კი არ მიეცემა ნებართვა იმათ, ვინც გახდა ურწმუნო, (რათა თავი იმართლოს) და არ მოითხოვენ მათგან გამართლებას.
Und (gedenke) jenem Tag, da Wir von jeder Gemeinschaft einen Zeugen erwecken. Dann wird denjenigen, die ungläubig sind, keine Erlaubnis gegeben (, sich zu entschuldigen), und es wird von ihnen keine entschuldigende Umkehr (mehr) angenommen.
Την Ημέρα που θα φέρουμε από κάθε έθνος έναν μάρτυρα (τον Αγγελιαφόρο, για να μαρτυρήσει για την πίστη των πιστών και την απιστία των άπιστων), έπειτα δε θα επιτραπεί στους άπιστους να δικαιολογηθούν, ούτε θα γυρίσουν στην εγκόσμια ζωή για να στραφούν με μεταμέλεια (και να πράξουν τις πράξεις που ευχαριστούν τον Κύριό τους).
और जिस दिन[37] हम प्रत्येक समुदाय से एक गवाह खड़ा[38] करेंगे, फिर काफ़िरों को अनुमति नहीं दी जाएगी और न उनसे क्षमा की याचना स्वीकार की जाएगी।
E il giorno che invieremo da ogni popolo un testimone, poi non sarà permesso ai miscredenti, e non avranno una proroga.
84. Ir (prisiminkite) Dieną, kai Mes prikelsime iš kiekvienos tautos liudytoją (jų Pasiuntinį), tada, tiems, kurie nepatikėjo, nebus suteiktas leidimas (pateikti pasiteisinimus), nei jiems bus leista (grįžti į pasaulį) atgailauti ir prašyti Allaho Atleidimo (už jų nuodėmes).

В День, когда Мы воскресим из каждой общины свидетеля, затем тем, которые отвергли веру, не будет позволено [оправдаться], и не будет им позволено снискать прощение.
А на Дан када из сваког народа доведемо сведока, неверницима неће да буде допуштено да се правдају, нити ће им се пружити прилика да се врате на Земљу, како би постали верници.
Na siku tutakapomtoa shahidi kutoka katika kila umma, kisha hawataruhusiwa wale waliokufuru wala hawataachiliwa kutaka radhi.
Och den dag då vi låter ett vittne stiga fram från varje folk ska de otrogna inte tillåtas [framföra undanflykter] eller ges någon chans till gottgörelse.
Kıyamet günü her ümmetten bir şahit göndereceğiz; sonra o kâfirlere ne (özür dilemeleri için) izin verilecek, ne de Allah’ın rızasını kazandıracak amelleri işleme istekleri kabul edilecek.
اور جس دن ہم ہر امت میں سے گواه کھڑا کریں گے[1] پھر کافروں کو نہ اجازت دی جائے گی اور نہ ان سے توبہ کرنے کو کہا جائے 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, if they turn away, thy duty (O Muhammad) is but plain conveyance (of the message)
But if they turn their backs,- thine is only to preach thy plain message
But if they turn their backs, still thy office is only plain spoken preaching
But if they turn back; verily thy duty is public preaching only

The translators word this verse differently
They recognize God's blessing, but then deny it, as most of them are ungrateful.
They know the favour of Allah and then deny it. Most of them are ingrates
They recognise the favours of God, and yet they deny them, for most men are ungrateful
They own the goodness of God - then they disown it - and most of them are infidels
They acknowledge the goodness of God, and afterwards they deny the same; but the greater part of them are unbelievers

And when the idolaters see their associates, they will say, "Our Lord, these are our associates whom we used to invoke besides You." They will strike back at them with the saying, "Surely you are liars."
And when those who ascribed partners to Allah behold those partners of theirs, they will say: Our Lord! these are our partners unto whom we used to cry instead of Thee. But they will fling to them the saying: Lo! ye verily are liars
And when those who join their partners with God say, 'Our Lord! these be our partners on whom we used to call beside Thee.' And they shall proffer them the speech, 'Verily, ye are liars

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 — 0.67 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.
