Kujtoni kur Ibrahimi e Ismaili po ngrinin themelet e Qabesë, duke u lutur: "Zoti ynë, pranoje prej nesh, sepse Ti je Gjithëdëgjuesi, i Gjithëdituri!
(আর স্মরণ করো) যখন ইবরাহীম ও ইসমা‘ঈল কা‘বা ঘরের ভিত্তি স্থাপন করেছিলো, তখন: ‘হে আমাদের রাব! আমাদের পক্ষ থেকে কবুল করুন। নিশ্চয় আপনি সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞ।’
I dok su Ibrahim i Ismail temelje Kabe podizali, molili su: "Gospodaru naš, primi to od nas, Ti si, uistinu, Svečujući i Sveznajući.
I dok su Abraham i Išmaie temelje Kabe podizali, molili su: "Gospodaru naš, primi to od nas, Ti si, uistinu, Svečujući i Sveznajući.
Nde Ibrahiima e Isma'iila ɓamtatnoo dosɗe suudu ndu eɓe mbi'a Jooma amen jaɓan min ko Aan woni nanoowo gannduɗo fof.
და (შეახსენე მათ ისე, რომ მათ თვალწინ წარმოიდგინონ), როგორ აღმართავს იბრაჰიმი სახლის [ქააბის] საძირკვლებს, და ისმაილი. (და ორივემ მიმართა ალლაჰს ვედრებით): «უფალო ჩვენო! მიიღე ჩვენგან (ეს საქმე), რადგან ჭეშმარიტად, შენ ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნე ხარ!»
Und (gedenkt,) als Ibrahim und Isma'il die Grundmauern des Hauses (also der Ka'bah) errichteten (und sagten): „Unser Herr, nimm von uns an. Du bist fürwahr der (All)hörende und (All)wissende.
Και (ανάφερε, ω, Μωχάμμαντ) όταν ο Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ) και ο Ισμαήλ σήκωναν τα θεμέλια του Οίκου, (λέγοντας): «Κύριέ μας! Δέξου από μας (τις καλές μας πράξεις, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της οικοδόμησης αυτού του Οίκου). Στ’ αλήθεια, Εσύ είσαι ο Ασ-Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
और (याद करो) जब इबराहीम और इसमाईल इस घर की बुनियादें उठा रहे थे (और कह रहे थे :) ऐ हमारे पालनहार! हमसे स्वीकार कर ले। निःसंदेह तू ही सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
E quando Ibrāhīm fondò con Ismā’īl le basi della Casa e disse: “Nostro Dio, accettala da parte nostra; in verità Tu sei l’Ascoltatore, il Sapiente!
127. Ir (atminkite), kai Ibrahimas (Abraomas) ir (jo sūnus) Ismailis (Izmaelis) kėlė Namo (Kaabos Mekkoje) pamatus, (sakydami): „Mūsų Viešpatie, priimk (šį tarnavimą) iš mūsų. Iš tiesų, Tu esi Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.“
Yeroo Ibraahiimiifi (ilmi isaa) Ismaa’iil bu’uura manaa (Ka’abaa) (ijaaraa)ol fuudhan (ummataaf himi). "Yaa Rabbi Ati dhagahaa beekaa dhaa! nurraa qeebali" (jedhaa).
И вот Ибрахим и Исма‘ил возводили основания Дома, [говоря]: «Господь наш! Прими от нас, воистину, Ты — Слышащий, Знающий.
И док су Аврам и Јишмаил темеље Кабе подизали, молили су: "Господару наш, прими то од нас, Ти си, уистину, Свечујући и Свезнајући.
Na kumbukeni Ibrahim na Ismail walipokuwa wanainyanyua misingi ya ile Nyumba wakaomba: Ewe Mola Mlezi wetu! Tukubalie! Hakika Wewe ndiye Mwenye kusikia mno, Mwenye kujua zaidi.
Och kom ihåg när Abraham och Ismael lade grunden för helgedomen: ”Herre! Acceptera detta från oss; du är sannerligen den som hör allt, vet allt.
Hani İbrahim, İsmail’le birlikte Kâbe’nin temellerini yükseltiyor (ve şöyle dua ediyorlardı): "Rabbimiz! Bizden bu (amelimizi) kabul buyur. Şüphesiz sen hakkıyla işitensin, hakkıyla bilensin."
ابراہیم ﴿علیہ السلام﴾ اور اسماعیل ﴿علیہ السلام﴾ کعبہ کی بنیادیں اور دیواریں اٹھاتے جاتے تھے اور کہتے جارہے تھے کہ ہمارے پروردگار! تو ہم سے قبول فرما، تو ہی سننے واﻻ اور جاننے واﻻ 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.

And We made the House a focal point for the people, and a sanctuary. Use the shrine of Abraham as a place of prayer. And We commissioned Abraham and Ishmael, "Sanctify My House for those who circle around it, and those who seclude themselves in it, and those who kneel and prostrate."
And when We made the House (at Makka) a resort for mankind and sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship)
And when we made the House a place of resort unto men, and a sanctuary, and (said) take the station of Abraham for a place of prayer; and covenanted with Abraham and Ishmael, saying, 'Do ye two cleanse my house for those who make the circuit, for those who pay devotions there, for those who bow down, and for those too who adore
And remember when we appointed the Holy House as man's resort and safe retreat, and said, "Take ye the station of Abraham for a place of prayer:" And we commanded Abraham and Ismael, "Purify my house for those who shall go in procession round it, and those who shall abide there for devotion, and those who shall bow down and prostrate themselves
And when we appointed the holy house of Mecca to be a place of resort for mankind, and a place of security; and said, take the station of Abraham for a place of prayer; and we covenanted with Abraham and Ismael, that they should cleanse my house for those who should compass it, and those who should be devoutly assiduous there, and those who should bow down and worship

When Abraham said, "O My Lord, make this a peaceful land, and provide its people with fruits-whoever of them believes in God and the Last Day." He said, "And whoever disbelieves, I will give him a little enjoyment, then I will consign him to the punishment of the Fire; how miserable the destiny!"
And when Abraham prayed: My Lord! Make this a region of security and bestow upon its people fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day, He answered: As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of Fire - a hapless journey's end
When Abraham said, 'Lord, make this a town of safety, and provide the dwellers there with fruits, such as believe in God and the last day!' (God) said, ' And he who misbelieves, I will give him but little to enjoy, then will drive him to the torment of the fire, an evil journey will it be
And when Abraham said, "Lord! make this secure land, and supply its people with fruits, such of them as believe in God and in the last day:" He said, "And whoso believeth not, for a little while will I bestow good things on him; then will I drive him to the torment of the Fire!" An ill passage
And when Abraham said, Lord, make this a territory of security, and bounteously bestow fruits on its inhabitants, such of them as believe in God and the last day; God answered, and whoever believeth not, I will bestow on him little, afterwards I will drive him to the punishment of hellfire; an ill journey shall it be

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.
