He said, "You know that none sent these down except the Lord of the heavens and the earth-eye openers; and I think that you, Pharaoh, are doomed."

Ai (Musai) tha: "Ti e di tashmë se ato (mrekulli) nuk i ka zbritur askush tjetër përveç Zotit të qiejve e të Tokës, si prova të qarta, ndërsa unë jam i bindur se ti, o Faraon, je i shkatërruar!"
তিনি বললেন, ‘নিশ্চয়ই তুমি জানো, এগুলোকে (এই নিদর্শনগুলোকে) আকাশমণ্ডলী ও পৃথিবীর রব ছাড়া আর কেউ নাযিল করেননি, (তাঁর মহান কুদরত ও আমার সততার উপর) স্পষ্ট প্রমাণ হিসেবে। আর হে ফিরআউন! আমি তো মনে করি তুমি ধ্বংসপ্রাপ্ত।’
A Musa odgovori: “Ti znaš da ovo nije dao niko drugi nego Gospodar nebesa i Zemlje, kao očigledna znamenja, i ja mislim da ćeš ti, o faraone, sigurno, nastradati.”
A Mojsije odgovori: “Ti znaš da ovo nije dao nitko drugi nego Gospodar nebesa i Zemlje, kao očigledna znamenja, i ja mislim da ćeš ti, o faraone, sigurno, nastradati.”
Maaku: "Gooŋɗii haɗa anndi jippinaani ɗee si wonaa Jeyɗo kammuuji ɗi e leydi ndi aayeeje [yi'eteeɗi]. Min dey miɗo sikkumaa ko an yo Fir'awna ko a kalkiiɗo".
[მუსა] თქვა: «შენ [ფარაონო] თავად იცი, რომ ეს (სასწაულები) გარდამოავლინა მხოლოდ ცათა და მიწის უფალმა, როგორც ნათელი მტკიცებულებები. და მე ნამდვილად ვფიქრობ, რომ შენ, ფარაონო, დაიღუპები».
Er sagte: „Du weißt ja, niemand außer dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde hat diese als einsichtbringende Zeichen hinabgesandt. Und wahrlich, ich glaube - o Fir'aun- ja, dass du der Vernichtung verfallen bist.“
(Ο Μωυσής) είπε: «Πράγματι, ξέρεις με βεβαιότητα ότι κανένας δεν έστειλε αυτά (τα Σημάδια) εκτός από τον Κύριο των ουρανών και της Γης, (τα έστειλε) ως ξεκάθαρες αποδείξεις. Στ' αλήθεια, πιστεύω ότι εσύ, ω, Φαραώ, είσαι αποκομμένος από κάθε καλό!»
मूसा ने उत्तर दिया : निःसंदेह तुम जान चुके हो कि इन (निशानियों) को आकाशों और धरती के पालनहार ही ने (समझाने के लिए) स्पष्ट प्रमाण बनाकर पर उतारा है। और निश्चय ही मैं जानता हूँ कि ऐ फ़िरऔन! तेरा विनाश हुआ।
Disse: «Tu sai bene che li ha fatti discendere il Dio dei cieli e della terra come Evidenze, e in verità io credo che tu sia dannato, o Faraone!»
102. [Mūsa (Mozė)] tarė: „Iš tiesų, tu žinai, kad šie ženklai buvo nuleisti ne ko kito, tačiau dangų ir žemės Viešpaties. Ir manau, kad esi tu iš tiesų, Firaun (Faraone), pasmerktas sunaikinimui (nuo viso gero)!“
(Muusaanis) ni jedhe: “Ati dhugumatti isaan kana (aayatoowwan kana) haala ragaa ifa ba’aa ta’aniin Gooftaa samiileefii dachii malee homtuu hin buusin sirritti beektee jirta. Ani yaa Fir’awn! ati halaakamaa ta’uun si yaada.”
Он сказал: «Он сказал: «Ты ведь знаешь, что ниспослал их не кто иной, как Господь небес и земли — как наглядные доказательства. И я думаю, о Фараон, что ты обречён на гибель».
а Мојсије одговори: „Ти знаш да ово није дао нико други него Господар небеса и Земље, као очигледна знамења, и ја мислим да ћеш ти, о фараоне, сигурно да настрадаш.“
Musa akasema, "Wewe unajua bila ya shaka kuwa haya hakuyateremsha isipokuwa Mola Mlezi wa mbingu na ardhi ili kuwa ni ushahidi wa kuonekana. Na hakika mimi bila ya shaka nakuona wewe, Firauni, kuwa utaangamizwa."
[Mose] svarade: ”Du vet mycket väl att ingen annan än himlarnas och jordens Herre har sänt ner dessa [tecken] – som ögonöppnande bevis. Farao! Jag är övertygad om att du är på väg mot din undergång.”
Mûsâ ise, “İyi biliyorsun ki, bunları ancak, göklerin ve yerin Rabbi apaçık deliller olarak indirmiştir. Ey Firavun! Ben de seni kesinlikle helâk olmuş bir kişi olarak görüyorum." demişti.
موسیٰ نے جواب دیا کہ یہ تو تجھے علم ہوچکا ہے کہ آسمان وزمین کے پروردگار ہی نے یہ معجزے دکھانے، سمجھانے کو نازل فرمائے ہیں، اے فرعون! میں تو سمجھ رہا ہوں کہ تو یقیناً برباد وہلاک کیا گیا 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.

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.
Say (unto them): If ye possessed the treasures of the mercy of my Lord, ye would surely hold them back for fear of spending, for man was ever grudging
Say, 'Did ye control the treasuries of the mercy of my Lord, then ye would hold them through fear of expending; for man is ever niggardly
SAY: If ye held the treasures of my Lord's mercy ye would certainly refrain from them through fear of spending them: for man is covetous

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

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 — 0.55 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.
