He said, "This is a mercy from my Lord. But when the promise of my Lord comes true, He will turn it into rubble, and the promise of my Lord is always true."

Ai tha: "Kjo është mëshirë nga Zoti im. Por, kur të vijë premtimi i Zotit tim, Ai do ta bëjë rrafsh atë. Premtimi i Zotit tim është i vërtetë."
সে (যুলকারনাইন) বললো: ‘এটা আমার রবের পক্ষ থেকে অনুগ্রহ। অতঃপর যখন আমার রবের ওয়াদাকৃত সময় আসবে(৩৭) তখন তিনি তা চূর্ণ-বিচূর্ণ করে দিবেন। আর আমার রবের ওয়াদা সত্য।’
“Ovo je blagodat Gospodara moga!”, reče on, “a kad se prijetnja Gospodara moga ispuni, On će ga sa zemljom sravniti, a prijetnja Gospodara moga će se, sigurno, ispuniti.”
“Ovo je blagodat Gospodara moga,” reče on, “a kad se prijetnja Gospodara moga ispuni, On će ga sa zemljom sravniti, a prijetnja Gospodara moga će se sigurno ispuniti.”
O wi'i: ɗum ɗoo ko Yurmeende immornde e Joomi am, si Fodoore Joomi am nden arii o waɗat [heedo] ngo ɗiggungo, Fodoore Joomi am nde laatike ko nde Goonga".
[ზულ-ყარნაინმა] თქვა: «ეს არის წყალობა ჩემი ღმერთისგან [ადამიანებზე]. და როცა აღსრულდება აღთქმა ჩემი ღმერთისა [იაჯუჯისა და მაჯუჯის გამოსვლაზე], იგი მას მიწასთან გაასწორებს, და ჩემი ღმერთის აღთქმა ჭეშმარიტებაა».
Er sagte: „Das ist eine Barmherzigkeit von meinem Herrn. Wenn nun das Versprechen meines Herrn eintrifft, lässt Er ihn (also den Wall) in sich zusammensinken; und das Versprechen meines Herrn ist wahr.“
Είπε (ο Δου-Αλ-Καρνάιν): «Αυτό (το φράγμα) είναι έλεος από τον Κύριό μου. Αλλά όταν θα έρθει η ώρα που όρισε ο Κύριος μου, θα το ισοπεδώσει (το φράγμα). Πράγματι, η υπόσχεση του Κυρίου μου είναι πάντα αληθινή (που οπωσδήποτε θα πραγματοποιηθεί).»
उस (ज़ुलक़रनैन) ने कहा : यह मेरे पालनहार की ओर से एक दया है। फिर जब मेरे पालनहार का वादा[33] आ जाएगा, तो वह इसे पृथ्वी के बराबर कर देगा, और मेरे पालनहार का वादा हमेशा से सच्चा है।
Disse: «Questa è una grazia da parte del mio Dio! Quando arriverà l’ordine del mio Dio, la renderà terra spoglia, e la promessa del mio Dio è veritiera.»
98. (Zul-Karnain) tarė: „Tai yra mano Viešpaties malonė, tačiau kai mano Viešpaties Pažadas išsipildys, Jis sulygins tai su žemės. Ir mano Viešpaties Pažadas yra visada tiesa.“
(Zulqarnayn) ni jedhe: “Kun rahmata Gooftaa kiyya irraa ta’e, Yeroo waadaan Gooftaa kiyyaa dhufe, bittinnaa’aa isa godha, Waadaan Gooftaa kiyyaa dhugaa ta’eera.”
Он сказал: «Это — милость от моего Господа. А когда придёт обещание моего Господа, Он обратит её в прах. И обещание моего Господа истинно».
„Ово је благодат Господара мога!“ Рече он. „А кад се претња мога Господара испуни, Он ће са земљом да је сравни, а обећање мога Господара ће сигурно да се испуни.“
Akasema, "Hii ni rehema kutoka kwa Mola wangu Mlezi. Na itakapokuja ahadi ya Mola wangu Mlezi, atakivunjavunja. Na ahadi ya Mola wangu Mlezi ni ya kweli."
Han sa: ”Denna [mur] är en nåd från min Herre. Men när min Herres löfte infrias ska han jämna den med marken. Min Herres löfte blir alltid verklighet.”
“İşte bu, Rabbimden bir rahmettir. Rabbimin vaadi gelince onu dümdüz eder, Rabbimin vaadi haktır.” dedi.
کہا یہ صرف میرے رب کی مہربانی ہے ہاں جب میرے رب کا وعده آئے گا تو اسے زمین بوس کر دے گا[1] ، بیشک میرے رب کا وعده سچا اور حق 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.

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 — 0.42 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.
