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.
And do not mix truth with falsehood, and do not conceal the truth while you know.

Mos e përzieni të vërtetën me të pavërtetën dhe mos e fshihni të vërtetën me vetëdije.
আর তোমরা সত্যকে মিথ্যার সাথে মিশ্রিত করো না এবং জেনে বুঝে সত্যকে গোপন করো না।
I ne miješajte Istinu s neistinom, a i ne tajite Istinu, a vi je znate!
Ne miješajte Istinu s neistinom, i ne tajite Istinu, a vi je znate!
Taa jiiɓindiree goonga he fenaande oɗon cuuɗa goonga oo tawa oɗon nganndi mbo.
და ნუ შემოსავთ ჭეშმარიტებას სიცრუით (რომელიც თქვენ თვითონ გამოიგონეთ), რათა დაფაროთ ჭეშმარიტება [ყურანის აიათები], მაშინ როცა თქვენ (ეს) იცით (იმ წიგნებიდან, რომლებიც თქვენს ხელთაა)!
Und vertuscht nicht das Wahre mit dem Falschen, und verschweigt nicht die Wahrheit, wo ihr (es) doch wisst!
Και μην μπερδεύετε την αλήθεια (που έστειλα στους Αγγελιαφόρους Μου) με το ψεύδος (που επινοήσατε) και μην κρύβετε την αλήθεια (που αναφέρθηκε στις Γραφές σας για τον ερχομό του Μωχάμμαντ) ενώ (τη) γνωρίζετε.
तथा सत्य को असत्य से न मिलाओ और न सत्य को जानते हुए छिपाओ।[22]
E non coprite la verità con la falsità, e non nascondete la verità consapevolmente.
42. Ir nemaišykite tiesos su neteisybe, ir neslėpkite tiesos [ t. y. Muchammedas ﷺ yra Allaho Pasiuntinys ir jo savybės yra įrašytos jūsų Raštuose, Taurate (Toroje) ir Indžylyje (Evangelijoje)], žinodami (tiesą).
Dhugaa sobaan {walitti} hin makinaa; osoo beeytanuu haqa hin dhoksinaas.
И не смешивайте истину с ложью и не скрывайте истину, зная её.
И не мешајте Истину са неистином, и не скривајте Истину кад је знате!
Wala msichanganye haki na batili, na mkaificha haki nanyi mnajua.
Blanda heller inte ihop sanning med falskhet, och dölj inte sanningen när ni egentligen vet bättre!
Hakka batılı karıştırmayın, bile bile hakkı gizlemeyin.
اور حق کو باطل کے ساتھ خَلط مَلط نہ کرو اور نہ حق کو چھپاؤ، تمہیں تو خود اس کا علم 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.

Enjoin ye righteousness upon mankind while ye yourselves forget (to practise it)? And ye are readers of the Scripture! Have ye then no sense
Will ye order men to do piety and forget yourselves? ye read the Book, do ye not then understand
Will ye enjoin what is right upon others, and forget yourselves? Yet ye read the Book: will ye not understand
Will ye command men to do justice, and forget your own souls? Yet ye read the book of the law: Do ye not therefore understand

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 — 0.66 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.
