Pa dyshim, jemi Ne që e trashëgojmë Tokën dhe çdo gjë që gjendet në të dhe ata te Ne do të kthehen.
নিশ্চয় আমি জমিন ও এর ওপরে যারা আছে, তাদের সবাইর চূড়ান্ত মালিক হবো এবং আমারই নিকট তাদের ফিরিয়ে আনা হবে।
Mi ćemo Zemlju i one koji žive na njoj naslijediti i Nama će se oni vratiti.
Mi ćemo Zemlju i one koji žive na njoj naslijediti i Nama će se oni vratiti.
Minen min ndonat lesdi ndi e ɓen wonɓe e dow mayri, ko ka amen ɓe nduttetee.
ჭეშმარიტად, ჩვენ დავიმკვიდრებთ მიწას და იმათ, ვინც მასზეა, და ისინი ჩვენთან იქნებიან დაბრუნებულნი [განკითხვის დღეს].
Wahrlich, Wir sind es, die Wir die Erde und (all die,) die auf ihr sind, erben werden. Und zu Uns werden sie zurückgebracht.
Πράγματι, Εμείς είμαστε που θα κληρονομήσουμε τη Γη και όσους βρίσκονται πάνω της (δηλ. Εμείς που θα μείνουμε ενώ όλοι θα έχουν πεθάνει), και σε Μας θα επιστραφούν.
निःसंदेह हम ही धरती के उत्तराधिकारी होंगे और उनके भी जो उसपर हैं और वे हमारी ही ओर लौटाए जाएँगे।
In verità Noi erediteremo la terra e quelli che ci abitano, e torneranno a Noi.
40. Iš tiesų, Mes paveldėsime žemę ir viską, kas joje. Ir pas Mus jie bus sugrąžinti.
Nuti Numatu dachiifi waan ishee irra jiru dhaala; garuma keenya deebifamus.
Воистину, Мы унаследуем землю и тех, кто на ней, и к Нам они будут возвращены.
Ми ћемо Земљу и оне који живе на њој да наследимо и Нама ће они да се врате.
Hakika Sisi ndio tutairithi ardhi na wale walio juu yake. Na kwetu watarejeshwa.
Vi ska förbli när jorden och dess invånare [har förgått], och det är till oss de ska föras åter.
Arza ve üzerindekilere elbet biz mirasçı oluruz ve yalnız bize döndürülürler.
خود زمین کے اور تمام زمین والوں کے وارث ہم ہی ہوں گے اور سب لوگ ہماری ہی طرف لوٹا کر ﻻئے جائیں گے.
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.

Listen to them and watch for them the Day they come to Us. But the wrongdoers today are completely lost.
See and hear them on the Day they come unto Us! yet the evil-doers are to-day in error manifest
they can hear and they can see, on the day when they shall come to us; but the evildoers are today in obvious error
Make them hear, make them behold the day when they shall come before us! But the offenders this day are in a manifest error
Do Thou cause them to hear, and do Thou cause them to see, on the day whereon they shall come unto Us to be judged: But the ungodly are this day in a manifest error

And warn them of the Day of Regret, when the matter will be concluded. Yet they are heedless, and they do not believe.
And warn them of the Day of anguish when the case hath been decided. Now they are in a state of carelessness, and they believe not
And warn them of the day of sighing, when the matter is decreed while they are heedless, and while they do not believe
Warn them of the day of sighing when the decree shall be accomplished, while they are sunk in heedlessness and while they believe not
And do thou forewarn them of the day of sighing, when the matter shall be determined, while they are now sunk in negligence and do not believe

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 — 0.50 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.
