Me të vërtetë, ky Kuran udhëzon në atë që është më e drejta dhe i përgëzon besimtarët që bëjnë vepra të mira se do të kenë shpërblim të madh.
নিশ্চয় এ আলকুরআন এমন একটি পথ দেখায়, যা সবচেয়ে উপযুক্ত (সরল, সুদৃঢ়) এবং সৎকর্মপরায়ণ মু’মিনদেরকে সুসংবাদ দেয় যে, তাদের জন্য রয়েছে মহাপুরস্কার (জান্নাত)।
Ovaj Kur’an vodi jedinom ispravnom putu, i vjernicima koji čine dobra djela donosi radosnu vijest da ih čeka nagrada velika,

ჭეშმარიტად, ეს ყურანი უწინამძღვრებს (ადამიანებს) ყველაზე სწორი გზისკენ (და ეს არის სრული დამორჩილება ალლაჰზე) და ახარებს მორწმუნეებს, რომელნიც აკეთებენ კეთილ საქმეებს (ასრულებენ ალლაჰის ბრძანებებს და თავს იკავებენ მისი აკრძალული საქმისგან), რომ სწორედ მათთვისაა უდიდესი ჯილდო.
Wahrlich, dieser Quran leitet zu dem, was richtiger ist, und verkündet den Gläubigen, die rechtschaffene Werke tun, dass es für sie großen Lohn geben wird,
Πράγματι, αυτό το Κορ’άν καθοδηγεί στον πιο δίκαιο (και πιο ίσιο) δρόμο (το Ισλάμ). Και δίνει χαρμόσυνες ειδήσεις στους πιστούς που πράττουν τις ενάρετες πράξεις, ότι θα έχουν μία τεράστια ανταμοιβή (τον Παράδεισο).
निःसंदेह यह क़ुरआन वह मार्ग दिखाता है, जो सबसे सीधा है और उन ईमान वालों को, जो अच्छे कर्म करते हैं, शुभ सूचना देता है कि उनके लिए बड़ा बदला है।
In verità questo Corano guida al sentiero più retto, e annuncia la Buona Notizia ai credenti, quelli che fanno del bene, ai quali in verità è riservato un grande premio.
9. Iš tiesų, šis Koranas veda į tai, kas teisingiausia ir suteikia geras žinias tikintiesiems (Allaho Vienumą ir Jo Pasiuntinį Muchammedą ﷺ ), kurie daro teisingus darbus, kad jie gaus didį atlyginimą (Rojų).

Воистину, этот Коран ведёт к тому, что является самым верным, и возвещает благую весть верующим, которые совершают праведные деяния, о том, что для них — великая награда,
Овај Кур’ан води једином исправном путу, и верницима који чине добра дела доноси радосну вест да их чека награда велика,
Hakika hii Qur-ani inaongoa kwenye yale yaliyonyooka kabisa, na inawabashiria Waumini ambao wanatenda mema ya kwamba wana malipo makubwa.
Denna Koran leder sannerligen till den rätta [vägen], och den förkunnar glädjande budskap för de troende som handlar rättfärdigt, att en riklig belöning väntar dem.
Şüphesiz bu Kur’an, en doğru yolu gösterir. Salih amel işleyen Müminlere, büyük mükâfat olduğunu müjdeler.
یقیناً یہ قرآن وه راستہ دکھاتا ہے جو بہت ہی سیدھا ہے اور ایمان والوں کو جو نیک اعمال کرتے ہیں اس بات کی خوشخبری دیتا ہے کہ ان کے لئے بہت بڑا اجر 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.

If you work righteousness, you work righteousness for yourselves; and if you commit evil, you do so against yourselves. Then, when the second promise comes true, they will make your faces filled with sorrow, and enter the Temple as they entered it the first time, and utterly destroy all that falls into their power.
(Saying): If ye do good, ye do good for your own souls, and if ye do evil, it is for them (in like manner). So, when the time for the second (of the judgments) came (We roused against you others of Our slaves) to ravage you, and to enter the Temple even as they entered it the first time, and to lay waste all that they conquered with an utter wasting
If ye do well, ye will do well to your own souls; and if ye do ill, it is against them! 'And when the threat for the last came - to harm your faces and to enter the mosque as they entered it the first time, and to destroy what they had got the upper-hand over with utter destruction
We said, "If ye do well, to your own behoof will ye do well: and if ye do evil, against yourselves will ye do it. And when the menace for your latter crime came to be inflicted, then we sent an enemy to sadden your faces, and to enter the temple as they entered it at first, and to destroy with utter destruction that which they had conquered
if ye do well, ye will do well to your own souls; and if ye do evil, ye will do it unto the same. And when the punishment threatened for your latter transgression came to be executed, We sent enemies against you to afflict you, and to enter the temple, as they entered it the first time, and utterly to destroy that which they had conquered

Perhaps your Lord will have mercy on you. But if you revert, We will revert. We have made Hell a prison for the disbelievers.
It may be that your Lord will have mercy on you, but if ye repeat (the crime) We shall repeat (the punishment), and We have appointed hell a dungeon for the disbelievers
It may be that thy Lord will have mercy on you;- but if ye return we will return, and we have made hell a prison for the misbelievers
Haply your Lord will have mercy on you! but if ye return, we will return: and we have appointed Hell - the prison of the infidels
Peradventure your Lord will have mercy on you hereafter: But if ye return to transgress a third time, We also will return to chastise you; and We have appointed hell to be the prison of the unbelievers

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 — 0.63 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.
