The translators word this verse differently
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.
God condemns usury, and He blesses charities. God does not love any sinful ingrate.

Allahu zhduk kamatën (dhe përfitimet prej saj), kurse e rrit lëmoshën (duke shtuar bereqetin dhe shpërblimet e saj). Allahu nuk e do asnjë mohues gjynahqar.
আল্লাহ সুদকে ধ্বংস করেন (৯৪) এবং দানকে বর্ধিত করেন। আর আল্লাহ কোনো অধিক অকৃতজ্ঞ পাপিষ্ঠ ব্যক্তিদেরকে ভালোবাসেন না।
Allah uništava kamatu, a umnožava sadake. Allah ne voli nijednog nevjernika, grešnika.
Allah uništava kamatu, a umnožava milostinje. Allah ne voli ni jednog nevjernika, grešnika.
Alla na momta riba na ɓamta sadakuuji Alla yiɗaa kala keewɗo keefeeru e bakkadinoowo sanne.
ალლაჰი ანადგურებს მევახშეობას (ანადგურებს მევახშის ქონებას და ართმევს მას ბარაქას), ხოლო მოწყალებებს ზრდის. და ალლაჰს არ უყვარს ყოველი ურწმუნო ცოდვილი.
Allah lässt den Zins dahinschwinden und Er vermehrt die Almosen. Und Allah liebt keinen, der ein beharrlicher Ungläubiger und Sünder ist.
Ο Αλλάχ καταστρέφει (τα κέρδη από) την Αρ-Ρέμπα (λήψη τόκων, αφαιρώντας τους κάθε ευλογία και μειώνοντάς τα) και πολλαπλασιάζει (τις αμοιβές για) τις ελεημοσύνες (και ευλογεί τα χρήματα αυτών που δίνουν ελεημοσύνες). Και ο Αλλάχ δεν αγαπά κάθε αμαρτωλό άπιστο (που επιμένει στην απιστία και την αμαρτία του καθιστώντας επιτρεπτά αυτά που απαγόρεψε ο Αλλάχ).
अल्लाह ब्याज को मिटाता है और दान को बढ़ाता है और अल्लाह किसी ऐसे व्यक्ति को पसंद नहीं करता जो बहुत अकृतज्ञ, घोर पापी हो।
Allāh vanifica l’usura e moltiplica le elemosine (Sadeqāt الصَّدَقَاتِ), e Allāh non ama i miscredenti peccatori.
276. Allahas sunaikins Riba (palūkanas) ir padidins Sadakat (labdaringus veiksmus, išmaldą ir t. t.). Ir Allahas nemėgsta netikinčiųjų, nuodėmingųjų.
Rabbiin dhala (keessaa barakaa) ni haqa; sadaqaawwan immoo ni guddisa. Rabbiin warra akkaan kafaraa, dilaawaa hunda hin jaalatu.
Аллах уничтожает лихву и приумножает пожертвования. Аллах не любит всякого упорно отвергающего веру [и] погрязшего в грехе.
Аллах уништава камату, а умножава милостињу. Аллах не воли ниједног неверника, грешника.
Mwenyezi Mungu huondoa baraka katika riba, na huzibariki sadaka. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hampendi kila mwenye kukufuru mno na afanyae dhambi nyingi.
Gud utplånar [vinsten från] ränta och låter allmosorna växa. Gud tycker inte om någon som är djupt syndig och otrogen.
Allah, faizi yok eder, sadakaları ise bereketlendirir. Allah, hiçbir günahkâr kâfiri sevmez.
اللہ تعالیٰ سود کو مٹاتا ہے اور صدقہ کو بڑھاتا ہے[1] اور اللہ تعالیٰ کسی ناشکرے اور گنہگار سے محبت نہیں کرتا۔
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
Those who swallow usury will not rise, except as someone driven mad by Satan's touch. That is because they say, "Commerce is like usury." But God has permitted commerce, and has forbidden usury. Whoever, on receiving advice from his Lord, refrains, may keep his past earnings, and his case rests with God. But whoever resumes-these are the dwellers of the Fire, wherein they will abide forever.
Those who swallow usury cannot rise up save as he ariseth whom the devil hath prostrated by (his) touch. That is because they say: Trade is just like usury; whereas Allah permitteth trading and forbiddeth usury. He unto whom an admonition from his Lord cometh, and (he) refraineth (in obedience thereto), he shall keep (the profits of) that which is past, and his affair (henceforth) is with Allah. As for him who returneth (to usury) - Such are rightful owners of the Fire. They will abide therein
Those who devour usury shall not rise again, save as he riseth whom Satan hath paralysed with a touch; and that is because they say 'selling is only like usury,' but God has made selling lawful and usury unlawful; and he to whom the admonition from his Lord has come, if he desists, what has gone before is his: his matter is in God's hands. But whosoever returns (to usury) these are the fellows of the Fire, and they shall dwell therein for aye
They who swallow down usury, shall arise in the resurrection only as he ariseth whom Satan hath infected by his touch. This, for that they say, "Selling is only the like of usury:" and yet God hath allowed selling, and forbidden usury. He then who when this warning shall come to him from his Lord, abstaineth, shall have pardon for the past, and his lot shall be with God. But they who return to usury, shall be given over to the fire; therein shall they abide for ever
They who devour usury shall not arise from the dead, but as he ariseth whom Satan hath infected by a touch: This shall happen to them because they say. Truly selling is but as usury: And yet God hath permitted selling and forbidden usury. He therefore who when there cometh unto him an admonition from his Lord, abstaineth from usury for the future, shall have what is past forgiven him, and his affair belongeth unto God. But whoever returneth to usury, they shall be the companions of hell fire, they shall continue therein for ever

Those who believe, and do good deeds, and pray regularly, and give charity-they will have their reward with their Lord; they will have no fear, nor shall they grieve.

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 — 0.84 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.
