We have honored the Children of Adam, and carried them on land and sea, and provided them with good things, and greatly favored them over many of those We created.

আর নিশ্চয়ই আমি আদম সন্তানদেরকে সম্মানিত করেছি এবং আমি তাদেরকে স্থলে ও সমুদ্রে চলাচলের বাহন দিয়েছি(২৮) এবং তাদেরকে দিয়েছি উত্তম রিযক। আর আমি যাদেরকে সৃষ্টি করেছি তাদের অনেকের ওপর তাদের শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব দিয়েছি।

Und Wir haben ja bereits die Kinder Adams geehrt; Wir haben sie auf dem Festland und auf dem Meer getragen und sie mit den guten Dingen versorgt, und Wir haben sie vor vielen von denen, die Wir erschaffen haben, eindeutig bevorzugt.
Πράγματι, τιμήσαμε τα παιδιά του Αδάμ (με ότι τους δώσαμε μυαλό, καλή μορφή, Θεία Βιβλία, υποτάξαμε τα πάντα στο σύμπαν να τους υπηρετούν, και διατάξαμε τους Αγγέλους να πέσουν σε Σιτζούντ στάση με το μέτωπο στο έδαφος ενώπιον του Αδάμ ως τιμή και χαιρετισμό), και τα μεταφέραμε στη στεριά (πάνω στα ζώα) και στη θάλασσα (στα πλοία), και τους παρείχαμε καλά αγαθά, και τα προτιμήσαμε πάνω από πολλά από ό,τι δημιουργήσαμε με αξιοσημείωτη προτίμηση.
निश्चय ही हमने आदम की संतान को सम्मान प्रदान किया, और उन्हें थल और जल में सवार[44] किया, और उन्हें अच्छी-पाक चीज़ों की रोज़ी दी, तथा हमने अपने पैदा किए हुए बहुत-से प्राणियों पर उन्हें श्रेष्ठता प्रदान की।
E abbiamo già onorato i figli di Ādem e li abbiamo portati per terra e per mare, e abbiamo donato loro delle delizie, e li abbiamo preferiti su molte Nostre creature.

Действительно, Мы оказали честь сынам Адама и переносили их по суше и по морю, и наделили их из благого, и отдали им предпочтение над многими из тех, кого Мы сотворили, — явным предпочтением.
Ми смо Адамовом потомству почаст указали: дали смо им да копном и морем путују, и опскрбили смо их укусним јелима, и дали Смо им посебну предност над многим створењима које смо створили.
Na hakika tumewatukuza wanadamu, na tukawabeba katika nchi kavu na baharini, na tukawaruzuku katika vitu vizuri vizuri, na tukawafadhilisha kwa fadhila kubwa kuliko wengi miongoni mwa wale tuliowaumba.
Vi har sannerligen visat Adams avkomma stor ära. Vi har låtit dem färdas över land och hav och försett dem med goda ting och gett dem stort företräde framför många av våra skapelser.
Andolsun ki Âdemoğullarını şereflendirdik. Onları karada ve denizde taşıdık. Onları temiz rızıklarla rızıklandırdık. Yarattığımız şeylerin çoğuna onları üstün kıldık.

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.

Feel ye then secure that He will not cause a slope of the land to engulf you, or send a sand-storm upon you, and then ye will find that ye have no protector

What! are ye sure, then, that he will not cleave the sides of the earth for you? or that he will not send against you a whirlwind charged with sands? Then shall ye find no protector
Are ye therefore secure that He will not cause the dry land to swallow you up, or that He will not send against you a whirlwind driving the sands to overwhelm you? Then shall ye find none to protect you

But whoever is blind in this, he will be blind in the Hereafter, and further astray from the way.
Whoso is blind here will be blind in the Hereafter, and yet further from the road
But he who in this life is blind shall be blind in the next too, and err farther from the way
And he who has been blind here, shall be blind hereafter, and wander yet more from the way
And whoever hath been blind in this life, shall be also blind in the next, and shall wander more widely from the path of salvation

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.
