O besimtarë! Hyni në Islam tërësisht e mos ndiqni gjurmët e shejtanit, ngaqë ai është armik juaji i hapur.
হে মুমিনগণ! তোমরা পুর্ণাঙ্গভাবে ইসলামে প্রবেশ করো (৪২) এবং শয়তানের পদাঙ্কসমূহ অনুসরণ করো না। নিশ্চয়ই সে তোমাদের প্রকাশ্য শক্ৰ।
O vi koji vjerujete, uđite u islam potpuno i ne idite stopama šejtanovim; on vam je, doista, neprijatelj otvoreni!
O vi koji vjerujete, uđite u islam potpuno i ne idite stopama đavoljim; on vam je, doista, neprijatelj otvoreni!

ჰეი, თქვენ, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! სრულად შედით მორჩილებაში[1] და ნუ გაჰყვებით სატანის კვალს, როდესაც ის ურჩობისკენ მოგიწოდებთ! ჭეშმარიტად, ის თქვენთვის აშკარა მტერია.
O die ihr glaubt, tretet allesamt in den Islam ein und folgt nicht den Fußstapfen des Satans! Wahrlich, er ist euch ein deutlicher Feind.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Εισέλθετε στο Ισλάμ πλήρως (τηρώντας όλους τους νόμους του). Και μην ακολουθείτε τα βήματα του Σατανά. Στ’ αλήθεια, αυτός είναι για εσάς ένας προφανής εχθρός.
ऐ ईमान वालो! इस्लाम में पूर्ण रूप से प्रेश[127] कर जाओ और शैतान के पदचिह्नों पर न चलो। निश्चय वह तुम्हारा खुला दुश्मन है।
O credenti, entrate nella pace[24] tutti e non seguite le orme del demonio: in verità lui è il vostro nemico evidente.
208. O jūs, kurie tikite! Priimkite islamą visiškai (paklusdami visiems islamo tikėjimo taisyklėms ir nurodymams) ir nesekite Šaitan (Šėtono) pėdomis. Tikrai! Jis jums yra akivaizdus priešas.
Isin yaa warra amantan! Islaamummaa keessa guutuun guutuutti seenaa; tarkaanfilee shayxaanaa hin hordofinaa. inni (shayxaanni) isiniif diina mul'ataadha.
О вы, которые уверовали! Войдите в покорность (ислам) всецело и не следуйте по стопам шайтана. Воистину, он для вас — явный враг.
О ви који верујете, уђите у Ислам потпуно и не идите стопама ђавољим; он вам је, заиста, непријатељ отворени!
Enyi mlioamini! Ingieni katika Uislamu kwa ukamilifu, wala msifuate nyayo za Shetani. Hakika, yeye kwenu ni adui wa wazi.
Troende! Träd in i islam till fullo och följ inte Satans spår; han är utan tvekan er uppenbara fiende.
Ey iman edenler! Hep birden İslam dinine tümüyle eksiksiz girin, Şeytan'ın adımlarına uymayın! O sizin apaçık düşmanınızdır.
ایمان والو! اسلام میں پورے پورے داخل ہوجاؤ اور شیطان کے قدموں کی تابعداری نہ کرو[1] وه تمہارا کھلا دشمن 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.

The translators word this verse differently
And when he is told, "Beware of God," his pride leads him to more sin. Hell is enough for him-a dreadful abode.
And when it is said unto him: Be careful of thy duty to Allah, pride taketh him to sin. Hell will settle his account, an evil resting-place
And when it is said to him, 'Fear God,' then pride takes hold upon him in sin; but hell is enough for him! surely an evil couch is that
And when it is said to him, "Fear God," the pride of sin seizeth him: but he shall have his fill of Hell; and right wretched the couch
And if one say unto him, fear God; pride seizeth him, together with wickedness; but hell shall be his reward, and an unhappy couch shall it be

The translators word this verse differently
And among the people is he who sells himself seeking God's approval. God is kind towards the servants.
And of mankind is he who would sell himself, seeking the pleasure of Allah; and Allah hath compassion on (His) bondmen
And there is among men one who selleth his soul craving, those things that are pleasing unto God and God is kind unto His servants
A man, too, there is who selleth his very self out of desire to please God: and God is good to his servants
There is also a man who selleth his soul for the sake of those things which are pleasing unto God; and God is gracious unto his servants

But if ye lapse after that our clear signs have come to you, know that God is Mighty, Wise
If ye have slipped after the declarations of our will have come unto you, know that God is mighty and wise

The translators word this verse differently
Are they waiting for God Himself to come to them in the shadows of the clouds, together with the angels, and thus the matter is settled? All things are returned to God.
Wait they for naught else than that Allah should come unto them in the shadows of the clouds with the angels? Then the case would be already judged. All cases go back to Allah (for judgment)
What can they expect but that God should come unto them in the shadow of a cloud, and the angels too? But the thing is decreed, and unto God do things return
What can such expect but that God should come down to them overshadowed with clouds, and the angels also, and their doom be sealed? And to God shall all things return
Do the infidels expect less than that God should come down to them overshadowed with clouds, and the angels also? But the thing is decreed, and to God shall all things return

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 — 0.54 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.
