Talal Itani· published 2012
And they followed what the devils taught during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but it was the devils who disbelieved. They taught the people witchcraft and what was revealed in Babylon to the two angels Harut and Marut. They did not teach anybody until they had said, "We are a test, so do not losefaith." But they learned from them the means to cause separation between man and his wife. But they cannot harm anyone except with God's permission. And they learned what would harm them and not benefit them. Yet they knew that whoever deals in it will have no share in the Hereafter. Miserable is what they sold their souls for, if they only knew.

And follow that which the devils falselyrelated against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankindmagic and that which was revealed to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy) portion in the Hereafter; and surelyevil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but knew

And they follow that which the devils recited against Solomons kingdom;- it was not Solomon who misbelieved, but the devils who misbelieved, teaching men sorcery,- and what has been revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut; yet these taught no one until they said, 'We are but a temptation, so do not misbelieve.' Men learn from them only that by which they may part man and wife; but they can harm no one therewith, unless with the permission of God, and they learn what hurts them and profits them not. And yet they knew that he who purchased it would have no portion in the future; but sad is the price at which they have sold their souls, had they but known

And they followed what the Satansread in the reign of Solomon: not that Solomon was unbelieving, but the Satans were unbelieving. Sorcery did they teach to men, and what had been revealed to the two angels, Harut and Marut, at Babel. Yet no man did these two teach until they had said, "We are only a temptation. Be not then an unbeliever." From these two did men learn how to cause division between man and wife: but unless by leave of God, no man did they harm thereby. They learned, indeed, what would harm and not profit them; and yet they knew that he who bought that art should have no part in the life to come!

And they followed the device which the devils devised against the kingdom of Solomon; and Solomon was not an unbeliever; but the devils believed not, they taught men sorcery, and that which was sent down to the two angels at Babel, Harut and Marut: Yet those two taught no man until they had said, verily we are a temptation, therefore be not an unbeliever. So men learned from those two a charm by which they might cause division between a man and his wife; but they hurt none thereby, unless by God's permission; and they learned that which would hurt them, and not profit them; and yet they knew that he who bought that art should have no part in the life to come, and woful is the price for which they have sold their souls, if they knew it

Ata ndoqën shpifjet e shejtanëve lidhur me mbretërinë e Sulejmanit. Në të vërtetë, Sulejmani nuk kishte rënë në mosbesim, por shejtanët kishin rënë në mosbesim, duke ua mësuar njerëzve magjinë dhe atë që u zbriti dy melekëve në Babiloni – Harutit dhe Marutit. Ata nuk ia mësonin atë (magjinë) askujt pa i thënë: "Në të vërtetë, ne jemi sprovë, kështu që mos u bëj jobesimtar (duke mësuar magjinë)!" Ata mësonin nga ata të dy si të ndajnë burrin nga gruaja, por ata nuk mund t'i bëjnë dëm përmes saj askujt pa lejen e Allahut. Kështu, ata mësuan atë që u sjell vetëm dëm dhe nuk u bën dobi, ndonëse e dinin mirë se, kushdo që e zgjedh atë (magjinë), nuk do të ketë kurrfarë hiseje në botën tjetër.

A to nije objavljeno dvojici meleka. Njih dvojica nikoga nisu učili dok mu ne bi rekli: "Mi samo iskušavamo, a ti nemoj biti nevjernik!"

Und sie folgten dem, was die Satane unter der Herrschaft Sulaymans (den Menschen) verlasen. Und nicht Sulayman war ungläubig, sondern die Satane waren ungläubig, indem sie die Menschen die Zauberei lehrten und das, was auf die beiden Engel in Babil, Harut und Marut, hinabgesandt worden war. Und sie beide lehrten niemanden (in der Zauberei), ohne zu sagen: „Wir sind nur eine Versuchung; so werde nicht ungläubig!“ So lernten sie von den beiden das, womit sie zwischen dem Mann und seiner Ehegattin spalten. Doch können sie damit niemandem schaden, außer mit Allahs Erlaubnis. Und sie erlernten, was ihnen schadet und nicht nützt. Und sie wussten doch, dass derjenige, der es erkaufte, am Jenseits ja keinen Anteil hätte. Und fürwahr, wie schlimm ist das, wofür sie ihre Seelen verkauft haben, wenn sie (es) nur wüssten!

Και (όταν άφησαν την Τορά) ακολούθησαν (αντί αυτής) αυτά που είχαν απαγγείλει οι δαίμονες (από μαγεία) κατά τη βασιλεία του Σολομώντα (και είπαν ψευδώς, αφού πέθανε, ότι η βασιλεία του βασίστηκε στη μαγεία). Δεν ήταν ο Σολομώντας που απίστησε (δηλ. δεν χρησιμοποιούσε τη μαγεία), μα οι δαίμονες απίστησαν, διδάσκοντας στους ανθρώπους τη μαγεία και ό,τι στάλθηκε κάτω (από μαγεία) στους δύο αγγέλους, τον Χαρούτ και τον Μαρούτ, στη Βαβυλώνα (ως δοκιμασία για τους ανθρώπους). Μα, δεν δίδαξαν (οι δύο άγγελοι τη μαγεία) σε κανέναν, εκτός να του έλεγαν (προειδοποιώντας τον): «Στ’ αλήθεια, είμαστε μόνο για δοκιμασία (για τους ανθρώπους), έτσι, μην απιστήσεις (μαθαίνοντας τη μαγεία από μας).» Και (όμως, όποιοι αρνήθηκαν τη συμβουλή τους, άρχισαν να) μαθαίνουν απ’ αυτούς αυτό με το οποίο προκαλούν χωρισμό μεταξύ ενός άνδρα και της συζύγου του. Και δεν μπορούν να βλάψουν κανέναν μέσω αυτού, παρά με την άδεια του Αλλάχ (δηλ. αν ήθελε ο Αλλάχ θα τους εμπόδιζε, αλλά τους άφησε ως δοκιμασία). Και στ’ αλήθεια, μαθαίνουν αυτό που τους βλάπτει και δεν τους ωφελεί.

Но не Сулейман отверг веру, а шайтаны отвергли веру, обучая людей колдовству и тому, что было ниспослано двум ангелам в Вавилоне — Харуту и Маруту. Но эти двое не обучали никого, не сказав прежде: «Воистину, мы лишь испытание, так не отвергай же веру!» И обучались они от них тому, чем разлучают мужа с женой, однако они не могли навредить этим никому, иначе как с дозволения Аллаха. Люди обучались у них тому, что приносило им вред и не приносило им пользы. И они, конечно, знали, что у того, кто приобретал это — в Последней жизни нет удела.

De undervisade människorna i magi och det som hade sänts ned till de två änglarna i Babylon, Hārūt och Mārūt. Men dessa två undervisade ingen utan att först säga: ”Vi är endast en prövning, så häda inte [genom att lära er magi från oss]!” Trots det lärde de sig av dem sådant som kan separera mellan en man och hans hustru. De kan emellertid inte skada någon med det, förutom med Guds tillåtelse. De lärde sig sådant som skadade dem och som inte gav dem någon nytta.

Edward Henry Palmer1880 Or every time they make a covenant, will a part of them repudiate it? Nay, most of them do not believe
John Medows Rodwell1861 Oft as they have formed an engagement with thee, will some of them set it aside? But most of them believe not
George Sale1734 Whenever they make a covenant, will some of them reject it? Yea the greater part of them do not believe

Talal Itani2012 O you who believe! Do not say ambiguous words, but say words of respect, and listen. The disbelievers will have a painful torment.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 O ye who believe, say not (unto the Prophet): "Listen to us" but say "Look upon us," and be ye listeners. For disbelievers is a painful doom

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 —
0.57 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.

Source Tanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) · Uthmani, Version 1.1
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
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.
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.
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.
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 verses, keyed to mushaf order. The
bismillah is not fused into ayah 1: 1:1 carries it and no other verse
does. Verified against content check C3 at ingest.
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.

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
