Kështu, ata të dy u nisën derisa, kur hipën në një anije, ai bëri një çarje në të. Musai tha: "Mos e shqeve atë që të fundosen udhëtarët e saj?! Ke bërë vërtet një punë të rëndë!"
অতঃপর তারা দুইজন চলতে লাগল। অবশেষে যখন তারা (বিনা ভাড়ার) নৌকায় চড়লো, সে (খাদির) তা ফুটো করে দিলো। সে (মূসা) বললো: ‘আপনি কি তার আরোহীদের ডুবানোর জন্য তা ফুটো করে দিলেন? আপনি অবশ্যই গুরুতর অন্যায় কাজ করলেন।’
I njih dvojica krenuše. I kad se u lađu ukrcaše, onaj je probuši. “Zar je probuši da potopiš one koji na njoj plove? Učinio si, doista, nešto vrlo krupno!”

Ɓe njahi haa de ɓe mbaɗɗnoo ka laana o yulika, [Muusaa] maaki: "A yulii ka fii yo ka yoolu yimɓe makka?! gooŋɗii a addii hu'unde mawnde".
და ისინი (მუსა და ხიდრი) კვლავ გზას გაუდგნენ ზღვის სანაპიროს გასწვრივ. როდესაც ისინი გემზე ავიდნენ, მან [ხიდრმა] გემი გახვრიტა (ერთ-ერთი ფიცრის ამოგლეჯით). მუსამ (მშვიდობა მას) უთხრა: «ნუთუ ეს გემი იმისთვის გახვრიტე, რომ მასზე მყოფი ადამიანები დაგეღუპა? ნამდვილად, შენ ძალიან მძიმე საქმე ჩაიდინე!»
Da zogen sie beide los. Als sie dann ein Schiff bestiegen, machte er darin ein Loch. Er (also Musa) sagte: „Hast du ein Loch darin gemacht, um seine Besatzung ertrinken zu lassen? Du hast da ja eine grauenhafte Sache begangen!“
Αναχώρησαν λοιπόν και οι δύο, ώσπου όταν επιβιβάστηκαν σε ένα πλοίο, το τρύπησε (ο Αλ-Χάντιρ, παρόλο που οι ιδιοκτήτες του πλοίου, τους μετέφεραν δωρεάν ως σεβασμό για τον Αλ-Χάντιρ). (Ο Μωυσής) είπε: «Το τρύπησες για να πνίξεις τους επιβάτες του; Πράγματι, έχεις κάνει κάτι τρομερό!»
फिर वे दोनों चले, यहाँ तक कि जब वे नौका पर सवार हुए, तो उस (ख़ज़िर) ने उसे फाड़ दिया। मूसा ने कहा : क्या आपने इसे इसलिए फाड़ दिया है कि इसके सवारों को डुबो दें? निश्चित रूप से आपने एक गंभीर काम कर डाला।
E, imbarcatosi su una nave, la perforò. Disse: «L’hai perforata per far naufragare la sua gente? Hai fatto in verità una brutta azione.»
71. Taigi jie abu keliavo tol, kol, jiems įlipus į laivą, jis (Khidr) pramušė skyles jame. Mūsa (Mozė) tarė: „Ar tu pramušei jame skyles tam, kad paskandintum jo žmones? Iš tiesų, tu padarei Imr (Munkar – blogą, baisų dalykas).“
Isaan lamaanuu hanga doonii tokko yaabbatanitti ni deeman, Inni (namichi) ishee ure (Muusaan) ni jedhe: “Sila namoota ishee keessa jiran bishaan nyaachisuuf ishee urtee? Dhugumatti, ati waan guddaa (hamaa) fidde (hojjatte)!”
Они отправились в путь, а когда они взошли на корабль, он сделал в нём пробоину. [Муса] воскликнул: «Неужели ты сделал в нём пробоину, чтобы потопить тех, кто на нём? Действительно, ты совершил нечто страшное!»
И њих двојица кренуше. И кад се у лађу укрцаше, он је пробуши. Мојсије рече: „Зар је пробуши да потопиш оне који на њој плове? Учинио си нешто, заиста, крупно.“
Basi wawili hao wakatoka, hata walipoabiri jahazi (yule mtu), akalitoboa. (Musa) akasema: Unalitoboa ili uwazamishe watu wake? Hakika umefanya jambo baya mno.
Därefter gav de sig av och nådde slutligen en båt som de klev ombord på. Mannen gjorde ett hål i den och [Mose] sa: ”Har du gjort ett hål i den för att dess passagerare ska drunkna? Du har verkligen gjort något förfärligt!”
Derken yola koyuldular. Nihayet bir gemiye bindiklerinde (adam) gemiyi deldi. Mûsâ: “Sen onu içindekileri boğmak için mi deldin? Doğrusu, sen büyük bir iş yaptın.” dedi.
پھر وه دونوں چلے، یہاں تک کہ ایک کشتی میں سوار ہوئے، تو اس نے کشتی کے تختے توڑ دیئے، موسیٰ نے کہا کیا آپ اسے توڑ رہے ہیں تاکہ کشتی والوں کو ڈبو دیں، یہ تو آپ نے بڑی (خطرناک) بات کردی.[1]
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.

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 — 0.69 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.
