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 has set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. They will have a severe torment.

Allahu ua ka vulosur zemrat dhe veshët, kurse në sytë e tyre ka perde. Ata i pret një dënim i madh.
আল্লাহ তাদের অন্তরে এবং তাদের কানে মোহর লাগিয়ে দিয়েছেন এবং তাদের চোখসমূহে রয়েছে (অবাধ্যতার) আবরণ। আর তাদের জন্য রয়েছে মহাশাস্তি।
Allah je zapečatio srca njihova i uši njihove, a pred očima njihovim je koprena; njih čeka patnja golema.
Zapečatio je Allah srca njihova i uši njihove, a na njihovim očima je koprena; njima pripada patnja golema.
Alla muppi ɓerɗe maɓɓe, wirngallo woni e noppi e gite maɓɓe lette mawɗe na woodani ɓe.
(იმის გამო, რომ მათ ზურგი აქციეს ჭეშმარიტებას), ალლაჰმა დაადო ბეჭედი მათ გულებსა და მათ სმენას, ხოლო მათ თვალებზე — საფარველი. და მათთვის არის უდიდესი სასჯელი (ჯოჯოხეთში)!
Allah hat ihre Herzen versiegelt und (auch) ihr Gehör, und über ihrem Augenlicht befindet sich eine Hülle. Und für sie wird es eine gewaltige Strafe geben.
Ο Αλλάχ έχει σφραγίσει τις καρδιές τους και την ακοή τους, και στα μάτια τους υπάρχει κάλυμμα (λόγω της αλαζονείας και της τυραννίας τους), και θα έχουν (κατά την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως) ένα τεράστιο μαρτύριο.
अल्लाह ने उनके दिलों पर तथा उनके कानों पर मुहर लगा दी और उनकी आँखों पर भारी पर्दा है तथा उनके लिए बहुत बड़ी यातना है।
Allāh ha sigillato i loro cuori e il loro udito, e sulla loro vista c’è un velo, e avranno una grande punizione.
7. Allahas užantspaudavo jų širdis ir klausą (t. y. jie negali priimti Allaho Vedimo) ir ant jų žvilgsnių – uždangalas. Jiems bus didžiulė kančia.
Rabbiin onneewwan isaaniirrattiifi dhageettuu (gurra) isaanii irratti cufe; agartuulee (ija) isaanii irras haguuggiitu jira. Isaaniif azaaba guddaatu jira. [5]
Аллах запечатал их сердца и их слух, а на их взорах — пелена. Для них — великое наказание.
Аллах је запечатио срца њихова и уши њихове, а пред очима њиховим је застор; њих чека патња огромна.
Mwenyezi Mungu ameziziba nyoyo zao na kusikia kwao, na juu ya kuona kwao kuna pazia. Nao wana adhabu kubwa.
Gud har förseglat deras hjärtan och deras öron, och han har täckt över deras ögon. De ska få ett oerhört straff.
Allah, onların kalplerini ve kulaklarını mühürlemiştir, gözlerinde de perde vardır. Onlar için büyük bir azap vardır.
اللہ تعالیٰ نے ان کے دلوں پر اور ان کے کانوں پر مہر کر دی ہے اور ان کی آنکھوں پر پرده ہے اور ان کے لئے بڑا عذاب 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.

As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not

As to the infidels, alike is it to them whether thou warn them or warn them not - they will not believe

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 — 0.70 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.
