Atëherë, Ne do të bënim të shijoje dënim të dyfishtë, si në këtë jetë, ashtu dhe pas vdekjes. Pastaj nuk do të gjeje asnjë ndihmës kundër Nesh.
(তুমি যদি তাদের প্রতি ঝুঁকে পড়তে) তাহলে আমি অবশ্যই তোমাকে দুনিয়ার জীবনে দ্বিগুণ শাস্তি এবং মৃত্যুর পরও দ্বিগুণ শাস্তি আস্বাদন করাতাম; তারপর আমাদের বিরুদ্ধে তোমার জন্য কোনো সাহায্যকারী পেতে না।
i tada bismo ti, doista, dali da iskusiš dvostruku muku u životu i dvostruku patnju poslije smrti; tada ne bi nikog našao ko bi ti protiv Nas pomogao.
i tada bismo ti, doista, dali da iskusiš dvostruku muku u životu i dvostruku patnju poslije smrti; tada ne bi nikog našao tko bi ti protiv Nas pomogao.
On tuma min meeɗinteno cowale [lepte] ka nguurndam e cowale [lepte] kumayde refti heɓantaake ma ballo e hoore Amen.
მაშინ [თუკი მცირედით მაინც გადაიხრებოდი მრავალღმერთიანებისაკენ], უთუოდ გაგემებდით შენ ორმაგ სასჯელს სიცოცხლეშივე და ორმაგს სიკვდილის შემდეგ. და ვერავის ნახავდი ჩვენს წინააღმდეგ შემწეს.
Dann hätten Wir dich fürwahr ein Mehrfaches (an Strafe) im Leben und ein Mehrfaches (an Strafe) im Tod kosten lassen, und hierauf würdest du für dich keinen Helfer gegen Uns finden.
Τότε (αν το έκανες), θα σε είχαμε κάνει να γευτείς διπλή τιμωρία, τόσο σ' αυτή τη ζωή όσο και μετά θάνατον. Έπειτα, δε θα έβρισκες για σένα κανέναν υποστηρικτή εναντίον Μας.
तब हम आपको जीवन में भी दोहरा तथा मरने के बाद भी दोहरा (अज़ाब) चखाते। फिर आप अपने लिए हमारे विरुद्ध कोई सहायक न पाते।
Allora ti avremmo fatto assaggiare una punizione doppia in vita e in morte, e poi non avresti trovato contro di Noi un sostenitore.
75. Tokiu atveju Mes būtume privertę tave paragauti dvigubą bausmės porciją šiame gyvenime ir dvigubą bausmės porciją po mirties. O tada tu nebūtum radęs nė vieno padedančio tau prieš Mus.

Тогда Мы дали бы тебе вкусить двойное [в этой] жизни и двойное [после] смерти, — и тогда ты не нашёл бы себе против Нас помощника.
и тада бисмо ти, заиста, дали да искусиш двоструку патњу у животу и двоструку патњу после смрти; тада не би никога нашао да те од Нас спаси.
Hapo basi bila ya shaka, tungelikuonjesha adhabu maradufu ya uhai, na adhabu maradufu ya kifo. Kisha usingepata yeyote wa kukunusuru kutokana nasi.
Men då hade vi pålagt dig dubbelt så hårt straff i detta liv och dubbelt så hårt efter döden, och du hade inte hittat någon att försvara dig mot oss.
O zaman ise, sana hayatın da ve ölümün de azabını kat kat tattırırdık. Hem de bize karşı bir yardımcı da bulamazdın.
پھر تو ہم بھی آپ کو دوہرا عذاب دنیا کا کرتے اور دوہرا ہی موت کا[1] ، پھر آپ تو اپنے لئے ہمارے مقابلے میں کسی کو مددگار بھی نہ پاتے.
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.

The translators word this verse differently
They almost lured you away from what We have revealed to you, so that you would invent something else in Our name. In that case, they would have taken you for a friend.
And they indeed strove hard to beguile thee (Muhammad) away from that wherewith We have inspired thee, that thou shouldst invent other than it against Us; and then would they have accepted thee as a friend
They had well-nigh beguiled thee from what we inspired thee with, that thou shouldst forge against us something else, and then they would have taken thee for a friend
And, verily, they had well nigh beguiled thee from what we revealed to thee, and caused thee to invent some other thing in our name: but in that case they would surely have taken thee as a friend
It wanted little but the unbelievers had tempted thee to swerve from the instructions which We had revealed unto thee, that thou shouldest devise concerning Us a different thing; and then would they have taken thee for their friend

The translators word this verse differently
Had We not given you stability, you might have inclined towards them a little.
And if We had not made thee wholly firm thou mightest almost have inclined unto them a little
and had it not been that we established thee, thou wouldst have well-nigh leant towards them a little
And had we not settled thee, thou hadst well nigh leaned to them a little
And unless We had confirmed thee, thou hadst certainly been very near inclining unto them a little

The translators word this verse differently
They almost provoked you, to expel you from the land. In that case, they would not have lasted after you, except briefly.
And they indeed wished to scare thee from the land that they might drive thee forth from thence, and then they would have stayed (there) but a little after thee
And they well-nigh enticed thee away from the land, to turn thee out therefrom; but then - they should not have tarried after thee except a little
And truly they had almost caused thee to quit the land, in order wholly to drive thee forth from it: but then, themselves should have tarried but a little after thee
The unbelievers had likewise almost caused thee to depart the land, that they might have expelled thee thence: But then should they not have tarried therein after thee, except a little while

The tradition of the messengers We sent before you-you will find no change in Our rules.
(Such was Our) method in the case of those whom We sent before thee (to mankind), and thou wilt not find for Our method aught of power to change
[This is] the course of those of our prophets whom we have sent before thee; and thou shalt find no change in our course
This was our way with the Apostles we have already sent before thee, and in this our way thou shalt find no change
This is the method of dealing which We have prescribed our selves in respect to our apostles, whom We have already sent before thee: And thou shalt not find any change in our prescribed method

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 — 0.54 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.
