And fight them until there is no oppression, and worship becomes devoted to God alone. But if they cease, then let there be no hostility except against the oppressors.

আর তোমরা তাদের বিরুদ্ধে যুদ্ধ করতে থাকবে যতক্ষণ না ফিতনা চুড়ান্তভাবে নির্মূল হয়ে যায় এবং দ্বীন একমাত্র আল্লাহর জন্য হয়ে যায়। অতঃপর যদি তারা ) থেকে বিরত থাকে, তবে যালিমরা (৩০) ছাড়া আর কারও উপর সীমালঙ্ঘন করা যাবে না।

Und kämpft gegen sie, bis es keine Heimsuchung mehr gibt und die Religion (allein) Allahs ist. Wenn sie jedoch aufhören, dann darf es keine Übertretung geben außer gegen die Ungerechten.
Και πολεμήστε τους μέχρι να μην υπάρχει πια (απ' αυτούς καμία) Φίτνα (δηλ. να σταματήσουν να σας αποτρέπουν από το Ισλάμ μέσω διωγμών, και να σταματήσουν την απιστία και την ειδωλολατρία τους) και να υπερισχύσει η θρησκεία του Αλλάχ. Μα αν παύσουν (την απιστία τους και το να σας πολεμούν), τότε (να μην τους πολεμάτε, γιατί) δεν υπάρχει επίθεση παρά μόνο προς τους άδικους.
तथा उनसे युद्ध करो, यहाँ तक कि कोई फ़ितना शेष न रहे और धर्म अल्लाह के लिए हो जाए। फिर यदि वे बाज़ आ जाएँ, तो अत्याचारियों के सिवा किसी पर कोई ज़्यादती (जायज़) नहीं।
E combatteteli finché non ci sarà più idolatria e la fede sarà quella di Allāh. Ma se desistono, niente ostilità, tranne contro gli ingiusti.
193. Ir kovokite su jais tol, kol daugiau nebelieka Fitnah (netikėjimo ir kitų šalia Allaho garbinimo) ir (visas ir visų rūšių) garbinimas yra tik Allahui (Vieninteliam) [20]. Tačiau jei jie liaunasi, tada nustokite su jais kovoti. Negali būti jokios agresijos, išskyrus prieš Az-Zalimūn (daugiadievius ir nusidėjėlius, kurie slegia ir neleidžia žmonėms eiti Allaho keliu).

И сражайтесь с ними, пока не прекратится смута и религия полностью не будет принадлежать Аллаху. А если они прекратят, то нет вражды, кроме как к несправедливым.
И борите се против њих док смутња не нестане и док вера не буде само Аллаху исказивана. Па, ако се окане, онда непријатељство престаје, а једино против насилника остаје.
Na piganeni nao mpaka pasiwepo fitina, na Dini iwe ya Mwenyezi Mungu tu. Na kama wakiacha, basi usiwepo uadui isipokuwa kwa madhalimu.
Och strid mot dem tills prövningen [med avguderi och förföljelsen av de troende] upphör och dyrkan helt ägnas Gud. Men om de slutar [att strida mot er och lämnar sin otro] ska alla fientligheter upphöra, förutom mot de som begår orätt.
Fitne kalmayıncaya, din/ibadet yalnız Allah'a yapılıncaya kadar, onlarla savaşın. Eğer savaşa son verirlerse zalimlerden başkasına düşmanlık yoktur.
ان سے لڑو جب تک کہ فتنہ نہ مٹ جائے اور اللہ تعالیٰ کا دین غالب نہ آجائے، اگر یہ رک جائیں (تو تم بھی رک جاؤ) زیادتی تو صرف ﻇالموں پر ہی 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 kill them wherever you overtake them, and expel them from where they had expelled you. Oppression is more serious than murder. But do not fight them at the Sacred Mosque, unless they fight you there. If they fight you, then kill them. Such is the retribution of the disbelievers.
And slay them wherever ye find them, and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. And fight not with them at the Inviolable Place of Worship until they first attack you there, but if they attack you (there) then slay them. Such is the reward of disbelievers
Kill them wherever ye find them, and drive them out from whence they drive you out; for sedition is worse than slaughter; but fight them not by the Sacred Mosque until they fight you there; then kill them, for such is the recompense of those that misbelieve
And kill them wherever ye shall find them, and eject them from whatever place they have ejected you; for civil discord is worse than carnage: yet attack them not at the sacred Mosque, unless they attack you therein; but if they attack you, slay them. Such the reward of the infidels
And kill them wherever ye find them, and turn them out of that whereof they have dispossessed you, for temptation to idolatry is more grievous than slaughter: Yet fight not against them in the holy temple, until they attack you therein; but if they attack you, slay them there. This shall be the reward of the infidels

The translators word this verse differently
The sacred month for the sacred month; and sacrilege calls for retaliation. Whoever commits aggression against you, retaliate against him in the same measure as he has committed against you. And be conscious of God, and know that God is with the righteous.
The forbidden month for the forbidden month, and forbidden things in retaliation. And one who attacketh you, attack him in like manner as he attacked you. Observe your duty to Allah, and know that Allah is with those who ward off (evil)
The sacred month for the sacred month; for all sacred things demand retaliation; and whoso transgresses against you, transgress against him like as he transgressed against you; but fear ye God, and know that God is with those who fear
The sacred month and the sacred precincts are under the safeguard of reprisals: whoever offereth violence to you, offer ye the like violence to him, and fear God, and know that God is with those who fear Him
A sacred month for a sacred month, and the holy limits of Mecca, if they attack you therein, do ye also attack them therein in retaliation; and whoever transgresseth against you by so doing, do ye transgress against him in like manner as he hath transgressed against you, and fear God, and know that God is with those who fear him

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.
