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.
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
When they went further, he said to his servant, "Bring us our lunch; we were exposed in our travel to much fatigue."

Kur e kaluan atë vend, Musai i tha shërbëtorit të vet: "Na e sill drekën tonë, se jemi lodhur shumë nga ky udhëtim."
অতঃপর যখন তারা সে জায়গা অতিক্রম করলো তখন সে (মূসা) তার সঙ্গী যুবককে বললো: ‘আমাদের দুপুরের খাবার নিয়ে আসো। আমাদের এই সফরে আমরা অনেক ক্লান্তির সম্মুখীন হয়েছি।’
A kad se udaljiše, Musa reče pomoćniku svom: “Daj nam užinu našu, jer smo se od ovog našeg putovanja umorili.”
A kad se udaljiše, Mojsije reče pomoćniku svom: “Daj nam užinu našu, jer smo se od ovog našeg putovanja umorili.”
Nde ɓe lummbunoo o [Muusaa] maakani sagataa makko on: "Addan en sojjaari=bottaari men ndi, gooŋɗii en kawrii e nduu yahdu men ɗoo tampere.
და როცა გადალახეს [მუსამ და იუშამ] (ის ადგილი სადაც თევზი დაავიწყდათ) უთხრა თავის მსახურს: «მოგვართვი ჩვენი სადილი. ამ მგზავრობით ძალიან დავიღალეთ».
Als sie (beide) dann vorbeigegangen waren, sagte er zu seinem Burschen: „Bringe uns unser Mittagessen. Wir haben ja durch diese unsere Reise (viel) Mühsal erlitten.“
Όταν (ξύπνησε ο Μωυσής και) ξεπέρασαν εκείνο το μέρος, είπε (ο Μωυσής) στον υπηρέτη του: «Φέρε μας το πρωινό μας. Στ' αλήθεια, έχουμε πολλή κούραση απ' αυτό το ταξίδι μας.»
फिर जब दोनों आगे बढ़ गए, तो मूसा ने अपने सेवक से कहा कि हमारा खाना लाओ। हम अपनी इस यात्रा से काफ़ी थक गए हैं।
Dopo aver camminato a lungo, disse al suo aiutante: «Portaci il pasto, perché ci ha colti in questo nostro viaggio una pesante stanchezza.»
62. Taigi, kai jie toliau keliavo (už tos paskirtos vietos) Mūsa (Mozė) tarė savo tarnui: „Atnešk mums mūsų ryto maistą. Iš tiesų, mes kentėme didelį nuovargį šioje mūsų kelionėje.“
Yeroma isaan lamaan (iddoo san) qaxxaamuran, (Muusaan) dargaggicha isaatiin ni jedhe: “Laaqana keenya nuuf fidi Dhugumatti, nuti imala keenya kana irraa dadhabbii guddaa qunnamnee jirra.”
Когда же они прошли дальше, он сказал своему юноше: «Принеси нам наш обед, воистину, мы уже ощутили усталость от нашего пути».
А кад се удаљише, Мојсије рече своме помоћнику: „Дај нам нашу ужину, уморили смо се од овог нашег путовања.“
Walipokwishapita, alimwambia kijana wake: Tupe chakula chetu cha mchana. Kwa hakika tumepata machovu kweli kwa hii safari yetu.
När de gått vidare sa han till sin tjänare: ”Ta fram vårt middagsmål; denna resa tog verkligen på krafterna!”
O yeri geçtikleri zaman genç arkadaşına: "Kahvaltımızı getir, bu yolculuğumuzda bir hayli yorgun düştük." dedi.
جب یہ دونوں وہاں آگے بڑھے تو موسیٰ نے اپنے نوجوان سے کہا کہ ﻻ ہمارا کھانا دے ہمیں تو اپنے اس سفر سے سخت تکلیف اٹھانی پڑی.
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.

Recall when Moses said to his servant, "I will not give up until I reach the junction of the two rivers, even if it takes me years."
And when Moses said unto his servant: I will not give up until I reach the point where the two rivers meet, though I march on for ages
And when Moses said to his servant, 'I will not cease until I reach the confluence of the two seas, or else I will go on for years
Remember when Moses said to his servant, "I will not stop till I reach the confluence of the two seas, or for years will I journey on
And remember when Moses said unto his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, I will not cease to go forward, until I come to the place where the two seas meet; or I will travel for a long space of time

Then, when they reached the junction between them, they forgot about their fish. It found its way into the river, slipping away.
And when they reached the point where the two met, they forgot their fish, and it took its way into the waters, being free
But when they reached the confluence of the two they forgot their fish, and it took its way in the sea with a free course
But when they reached their confluence, they forgot their fish, and it took its way in the sea at will
But when they were arrived at the meeting of the two seas, they forgot their fish, which they had taken with them; and the fish took its way freely in the sea

He said, "Do you remember when we rested by the rock? I forgot about the fish. It was only the devil who made me forget it. And so it found its way to the river, amazingly."
He said: Didst thou see, when we took refuge on the rock, and I forgot the fish - and none but Satan caused me to forget to mention it - it took its way into the waters by a marvel
Said he, 'What thinkest thou? when we resorted to the rock, then, verily, I forgot the fish, but it was only Satan who made me forget it, lest I should remember it; and it took its way in the set wondrously
He said, "What thinkest thou? When we repaired to the rock for rest I forgot the fish; and none but Satan made me forget it, so as not to mention it; and it hath taken its way in the sea in a wondrous sort
His servant answered, dost thou know what has befallen me? When we took up our lodging at the rock, verily I forgot the fish: And none made me to forget it, except Satan, that I should not remind thee of it. And the fish took its way in the sea, in a wonderful manner

He said, "This is what we were seeking." And so they turned back retracing their steps.
He said: This is that which we have been seeking. So they retraced their steps again
Said he, 'This is what we were searching for.' So they turned back upon their footsteps, following them up
He said, "It is this we were in quest of." And they both went back retracing their footsteps
Moses said, this is what we sought after. And they both went back, returning by the way they came

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 — 0.61 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.
