Ha, pi dhe gëzohu! Nëse sheh ndonjë njeri, thuaji: "Unë jam zotuar para të Gjithëmëshirshmit se do të përmbahem nga të folurit, prandaj nuk do t'i flas sot asnjë njeriu."
‘অতঃপর তুমি (তাজা খেজুর) খাও, (পানি) পান করো এবং (নিজ সন্তানকে দেখে) চোখ জুড়াও। আর যদি তুমি কোনো লোককে দেখতে পাও তাহলে বলে দিও, ‘আমি পরম করুণাময়ের জন্য চুপ থাকার মানত করেছি। অতএব আজ আমি কোনো মানুষের সাথে কিছুতেই কথা বলবো না।’
pa jedi i pij i budi vesela! A ako vidiš čovjeka kakva, ti reci: ‘Ja sam se zavjetovala Milostivom da ću šutjeti, i danas ni s kim neću govoriti.’ ”

ჭამე (ფინიკი), სვი (წყალი) და დამშვიდდი [გული დაიმშვიდე და კმაყოფილი იყავი]! ხოლო თუ რომელიმე ადამიანს დაინახავ, მაშინ უთხარი: "ჭეშმარიტად, მე აღთქმა მივეცი მოწყალეს (ალლაჰს) დუმილისა, ამიტომ დღეს არცერთ ადამიანს არ დაველაპარაკები».
(Und es wurde zu ihr gesagt:) „So iss und trink und sei frohen Mutes.“ Und wenn du nun jemanden von den Menschen sehen solltest, dann sag: „Ich habe dem Allerbarmer Fasten gelobt, so werde ich heute mit keinem Menschenwesen sprechen.“
Φάε και πιες, λοιπόν, και να είσαι χαρούμενη. Και αν δεις κανέναν άνθρωπο, πες: «Στ’ αλήθεια, έχω ορκιστεί νηστεία για τον Αρ-Ραχμάν (Παντελεήμονα), έτσι δε θα μιλήσω σε κανέναν σήμερα.».»
अतः खा और पी और आँख ठंडी कर। फिर यदि तू किसी आदमी को देखे, तो कह दे : मैंने तो रहमान के लिए रोज़े की मन्नत मानी है। अतः आज मैं कदापि किसी मनुष्य से बात नहीं करूँगी।
mangiane e bevine e stai serena. E se tu dovessi vedere qualcuno degli umani, di’: «In verità ho fatto voto al Compassionevole di osservare il digiuno[71], oggi non parlo a nessun umano».
26. Taigi valgyk ir gerk ir būk laiminga. O jei pamatysi kokį nors žmogų, sakyk: „Iš tiesų, aš prisiekiau Maloningiausiajam (Allahui) pasninkauti, taigi šią dieną aš nekalbėsiu su jokiu žmogumi.”

Так ешь же и пей, и утешься. А если увидишь кого-либо из людей, то скажи: “Воистину, я дала Всемилостивому обет поста, и потому не буду говорить сегодня ни с одним человеком”».
па једи и пиј и буди весела! А ако видиш неког човека, ти реци: 'Ја сам се заветовала Свемилосном да ћу да ћутим, и данас ни са ким нећу да говорим.'“
Basi kula, na kunywa, na litulize jicho lako. Na pindi ukimwona mtu yeyote, basi sema: Hakika mimi nimeweka nadhiri kwa Mwingi wa rehema, ya kufunga; kwa hivyo leo sitasema na mtu yeyote.
Ät och drick och var vid gott mod! Möter du någon, ska du säga: 'Jag har lovat den Nåderike att avhålla mig [från samtal], och talar därför inte med någon i dag.'”
Ye, iç, gözün aydın olsun. İnsanlardan birini görecek olursan; “Şüphesiz ben Rahmân’a susmayı adadım. Bugün hiçbir insan ile konuşmayacağım.” de!
اب چین سے کھا پی اور آنکھیں ٹھنڈی رکھ[1] ، اگر تجھے کوئی انسان نظر پڑ جائے تو کہہ[2] دینا کہ میں نے اللہ رحمنٰ کے نام کا روزه مان رکھا ہے۔ میں آج کسی شخص سے بات نہ کروں گی.
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 — 0.58 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.
