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 as for those who reject faith, and die rejecting-those-upon them is the curse of God, and of the angels, and of all humanity.

Me të vërtetë, mbi ata që mohuan dhe vdiqën duke qenë jobesimtarë bie mallkimi i Allahut, i melekëve dhe i mbarë njerëzimit.

ჭეშმარიტად, ისინი, ვინც ურწმუნოებად იქცნენ და ურწმუნო მდგომარეობაში გარდაიცვალნენ — მათზეა ალლაჰის, ანგელოზების და ყველა ადამიანის წყევლა (განკითხვის დღეს).
Wahrlich, diejenigen aber, die ungläubig sind und als Ungläubige sterben, auf diesen liegt der Fluch Allahs und der Engel und der Menschen allesamt,
Στ’ αλήθεια, αυτοί που αρνήθηκαν την πίστη και πεθαίνουν παραμένοντας στην απιστία τους, θα πέσει πάνω τους η κατάρα του Αλλάχ, των αγγέλων και όλων των ανθρώπων.
निःसंदेह वे लोग जिन्होंने कुफ़्र किया और इस हाल में मर गए कि वे काफ़िर थे, ऐसे लोग हैं जिनपर अल्लाह की और फ़रिश्तों तथा लोगों की, सब की लानत है।
In verità quelli che hanno negato e sono morti da miscredenti hanno la maledizione di Allāh e degli angeli e dell’intero genere umano,

warri kafaranii kaafirtoota ta’anii du’an, jara sunniin abaarsi Rabbii, kan malaa’ikootaafi kan namoota hundaatuu isaan irratti jiraata.
Воистину, те, которые отвергли веру и умерли, будучи отвергшим веру, такие — на них нисходит проклятие Аллаха, ангелов и всех людей.
Заиста, онима који не верују и који као неверници умру, следи проклетство Аллахово, проклетство анђела и свих људи.
Hakika, waliokufuru na wakafa hali ni makafiri, hao iko juu yao laana ya Mwenyezi Mungu na ya Malaika na ya watu wote.
De som är otrogna och dör som otrogna, över dem vilar Guds fördömelse, liksom änglarnas och människornas allesammans.
İnkâr etmiş ve kâfir olarak can vermiş olanlara gelince, işte Allah'ın, meleklerin ve bütün insanların laneti onların üzerinedir.
یقیناً جو کفار اپنے کفر میں ہی مرجائیں، ان پر اللہ تعالیٰ کی، فرشتوں کی اور تمام لوگوں کی لعنت ہے۔[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.

Those who suppress the proofs and the guidance We have revealed, after We have clarified them to humanity in the Scripture-those-God curses them, and the cursers curse them.
Lo! Those who hide the proofs and the guidance which We revealed, after We had made it clear to mankind in the Scripture: such are accursed of Allah and accursed of those who have the power to curse
Verily, those who hide what we have revealed of manifest signs and of guidance after we have manifested it to men in the Book, them God shall curse, and those who curse shall curse them too
They who conceal aught that we have sent down, either of clear proof or of guidance, after what we have so clearly shewn to men in the Book, God shall curse them, and they who curse shall curse them
They who conceal any of the evident signs, or the direction which we have sent down, after what we have manifested unto men in the scripture, God shall curse them; and they who curse shall curse them

The translators word this verse differently
Except those who repent, and reform, and proclaim. Those-I will accept their repentance. I am the Acceptor of Repentance, the Merciful.
Except those who repent and amend and make manifest (the truth). These it is toward whom I relent. I am the Relenting, the Merciful
Save those who turn and do right and make (the signs) manifest; these will I turn to again, for I am easy to be turned and merciful
But as for those who turn to me, and amend and make known the truth, even unto them will I turn me, for I am He who Turneth, the Merciful
But as for those who repent and amend, and make known what they concealed, I will be turned unto them, for I am easy to be reconciled and merciful

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 — 0.63 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.
