Say, "If you possessed the treasuries of my Lord's mercy, you would have withheld them for fear of spending." The human being has always been stingy.

Thuaj: "Edhe sikur t'i zotëronit thesaret e begative të Zotit tim, do të tregoheshit dorështrënguar nga frika se mos harxhohen. Njeriu është njëmend koprrac."
(হে রাসূল! তুমি এ মুশরিকদেরকে) বলো: ‘যদি তোমরা আমার রবের রহমতের ভাণ্ডারসমূহের মালিক হতে, তবুও নিঃশেষ হয়ে যাওয়ার ভয়ে তোমরা তা (খরচ না করে) আটকে রাখতে। বস্তুত মানুষ তো অতি কৃপণ।’

უთხარი [ო, შუამავალო]: «თუკი თქვენ გექნებოდათ ჩემი უფლის წყალობის საუნჯეები [რომლებიც არასოდეს ამოიწურება], მაშინაც კი თქვენ თავს შეიკავებდით [რაიმის მიცემისგან] იმის შიშით, რომ დაგელიოთ [და გაღარიბდეთ]. ნამდვილად, ადამიანი ძუნწია».
Sag: „Würdet ihr über die Schatzkammern der Barmherzigkeit meines Herrn verfügen, dann würdet ihr aus Furcht vor dem Ausgeben ja zurückhaltend sein. Und der Mensch ist ja sehr geizig.“
Πες (τους, ω, Προφήτη): «Αν κατείχατε τα θησαυροφυλάκια του ελέους του Κυρίου μου (που δεν εξαντλούνται ποτέ), σίγουρα θα απείχατε από το να τα ξοδεύετε από φόβο να τελειώσουν (και να γίνετε φτωχοί)!» Πράγματι, ο άνθρωπος είναι πολύ τσιγκούνης (εκτός απ' αυτόν που τον προστατεύει ο Αλλάχ από τέτοιο χαρακτήρα μέσω της πίστης.)
आप कह दें : यदि तुम मेरे पालनहार की दया के खज़ानों के मालिक होते, तो उस समय तुम (उन्हें) खर्च हो जाने के भय से अवश्य रोक लेते। और इनसान बड़ा ही कंजूस है।
Di’: «Se voi possedeste i tesori della pietà del mio Dio, li terreste per paura di spenderli, e l’uomo è stato sempre avaro.»
100. Sakyk (netikintiesiems): „Jei jūs turėtumėte lobį – mano Viešpaties Gailestingumą (turtą, pinigus, aprūpinimą) – tada jūs tikrai susilaikytumėte (nuo išlaidavimo) iš baimės (išsekinti tai), ir žmogus yra visada šykštus!“

Скажи: «Если бы вы владели сокровищницами милости моего Господа, то непременно удерживали бы их из боязни растратить. И человек крайне скуп».
Реци: „Да ви поседујете ризнице милости мога Господара, и тада бисте шкртарили из страха да не потрошите; човек је заиста тврдица.“
Sema, "Lau kuwa nyinyi mnazimiliki hazina za rehema za Mola wangu Mlezi, basi hapana shaka mngelizuia kwa sababu ya kuhofu kuzitumia. Na mtu tangu hapo tabia yake ni mchoyo mno!"
Säg: ”Om ni så hade min Herres [outsinliga] skatter av nåd i er ägo, skulle ni ändå vägra att dela med er av rädsla för att de skulle ta slut.” Ja, människan är ytterst girig!
De ki: "Eğer siz, Rabbimin rahmet hazinelerine sahip olsaydınız. O zaman tükenir korkusuyla muhakkak cimrilik ederdiniz." Zaten insan çok cimridir.
کہہ دیجیئے کہ اگر بالفرض تم میرے رب کی رحمتوں کے خزانوں کے مالک بن جاتے تو تم اس وقت بھی اس کے خرچ ہوجانے[1] کے خوف سے اس کو روکے رکھتے اور انسان ہے ہی تنگ دل.
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.

This is their repayment for having blasphemed against Our revelations, and having said, "Shall we, when we have become bones and fragments, be resurrected as a new creation?"
That is their reward because they disbelieved Our revelations and said: When we are bones and fragments shall we, forsooth, be raised up as a new creation
That is their reward for that they disbelieved in our signs, and said, 'What! when we are bones and rubbish, shall we then be raised up a new creation
This shall be their reward for that they believed not our signs and said, "When we shall have become bones and dust, shall we surely be raised a new creation
This shall be their reward, because they disbelieve in our signs, and say, when we shall have been reduced to bones and dust, shall we surely be raised new creatures

We gave Moses nine clear signs-ask the Children of Israel. When he went to them, Pharaoh said to him, "I think that you, Moses, are bewitched."
And verily We gave unto Moses nine tokens, clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty). Do but ask the Children of Israel how he came unto them, then Pharaoh said unto him: Lo! I deem thee one bewitched, O Moses
And we did bring Moses nine manifest signs; then ask the children of Israel (about) when he came to them, and Pharaoh said to him, 'Verily, I think thee, O Moses! enchanted
We therefore gave to Moses nine clear signs. Ask thou, therefore, the children of Israel how it was when he came unto them, and Pharaoh said to him, "Verily, I deem thee, O Moses, a man enchanted
We heretofore gave unto Moses the power of working nine evident signs. And do thou ask the children of Israel as to the story of Moses; when he came unto them, and Pharaoh said unto him, verily I esteem thee, O Moses, to be deluded by sorcery

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.56 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.
