The translators word this verse differently
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.
But they were succeeded by generations who lost the prayers and followed their appetites. They will meet perdition.

Por, pas tyre erdhën breza që lanë pas dore namazin dhe ndoqën epshet e veta, kështu që ata do të gjejnë dënimin,
তাদের (এসব মনোনীত নবীদের) পরে আসলো এমন এক অসৎ বংশধর যারা সালাত বিনষ্ট করলো এবং কুপ্রবৃত্তির অনুসরণ করলো। সুতরাং শীঘ্রই তারা জাহান্নামে অনিষ্ট ও ব্যর্থতার সাক্ষাৎ পাবে(১৭)।
A njih smijeniše zli potomci, koji namaz napustiše i za požudama pođoše – oni će sigurno zlo proći,
A njih smijeniše zli potomci, koji molitvu napustiše i za požudama pođoše – oni će sigurno zlo proći,
Lomtii ɓaawo maɓɓe lomtotooɓe, ɓe njeeebi Juulde nden ɓe njokki welamuuji ɗin aray ɓe kawroya e bone.
მათ შემდგომ მოვიდნენ შთამომავლები, რომელთაც მიატოვეს ლოცვა და აჰყვნენ ვნებებს, მალე კი გადაეყრებიან წარუმატებლობას და დაღუპვას [ჯოჯოხეთში].
Dann folgten nach ihnen Nachfolger, die das Gebet vernachlässigten und den Begierden folgten. So werden sie (den Lohn für ihre) Verirrung vorfinden.
Αλλά ήρθαν μετά απ' αυτούς άλλοι άνθρωποι (και γενιές) που παραμέλησαν την προσευχή και ακολούθησαν τους πόθους τους, έτσι θα λάβουν απώλεια και καταστροφή (στην Κόλαση),
फिर उनके बाद उनके स्थान पर ऐसे अयोग्य उत्तराधिकारी आए, जिन्होंने नमाज़ की उपेक्षा की और अपनी इच्छाओं का पालन किया, तो वे जल्द ही पथभ्रष्टता का सामना करेंगे।
ma dopo di loro vennero generazioni che negarono la preghiera e che seguirono i vizi. Quelli avranno come ricompensa la perdizione,
59. Tada, po jų sekė palikuonys, kurie apleido As-Salat (maldas) [t. y. prarado savo Salat (maldas) arba nebeatlikdami jų arba neatlikdami jų tobulai arba neatlikdami jų tiksliai nustatytu laiku] ir pasekė geiduliais. [4] Taigi jie susidurs su pražūtimi.
Isaan boodaas bakka bu’oota (hamaatu) bakka bu'e. kan salaata miidhaniifi fedhaalee lubbuu isaanii hordofan. Hallayyaa jahannam quunnamuuf jiru.
А после них пришло [иное] поколение, которое пренебрегло молитвой и последовало страстям, — и вскоре они встретят заблуждение.
А њих сменише зли потомци, који молитву напустише и за пожудама пођоше – они ће сигурно зло проћи.
Lakini wakaja baada yao wafuatizi walioipoteza Swala, na wakafuata matamanio. Basi watakujakuta malipo ya ubaya.
Efter dem följde ett uselt släkte som försummade bönen och drevs av sina begär. De ska snart möta sin undergång.
Ama onların ardından namazı zayi eden ve şehvetlerine uyan bir nesil geldi. İşte onlar gayy ile karşılaşacaklardır.
پھر ان کے بعد ایسے ناخلف پیدا ہوئے کہ انہوں نے نماز ضائع کردی اور نفسانی خواہشوں کے پیچھے پڑ گئے، سو ان کا نقصان ان کے آگے آئے گا.[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 are some of the prophets God has blessed, from the descendants of Adam, and from those We carried with Noah, and from the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from those We guided and selected. Whenever the revelations of the Most Gracious are recited to them, they would fall down, prostrating and weeping.
These are they unto whom Allah showed favour from among the prophets, of the seed of Adam and of those whom We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and of the seed of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom We guided and chose.

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 — 0.77 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.
