Say, "Whoever is hostile to Gabriel-it is he who revealed it to your heart by God's leave, confirming what preceded it, and guidance and good news for the believers."

Thuaj: "Kushdo që e armiqëson Xhibrilin, le ta dijë se ai e ka zbritur atë (Kuranin) në zemrën tënde me lejen e Allahut, si vërtetues të shpalljeve të mëhershme dhe si udhërrëfyes e përgëzues për besimtarët."
বলো: ‘যে কেউ জিবরীলের সাথে শত্রুতা করবে, শুধু এজন্যে যে, নিশ্চয় সে আল্লাহর হুকুমেই তোমার হৃদয়ে কুরআন নাযিল করেছে, যা পূর্ববর্তী কিতাবসমূহেরও সত্যায়নকারী এবং যা মুমিনদের জন্য পথপ্রদর্শক ও সুসংবাদ।’
Reci: "Ko je neprijatelj Džibrilu, neka zna da on Allahovom dozvolom tebi na srce stavlja Kur'an potvrdujući istinitost onoga otprije, kao putokaz i radosnu vijest vjernicima."

უთხარი (ო, მოციქულო) (იუდეველებს, როცა ისინი ამბობენ, რომ ჯიბრილი მათი მტერია ანგელოზთაგან): «ვინ არის ჯიბრილის მტერი?» – რადგან მან ჩამოავლინა იგი [ყურანი] შენს გულზე ალლაჰის ნებართვით, იმის დასადასტურებლად, რაც მისამდე იყო [ალლაჰის წიგნები, რომლებიც ყურანამდე იქნა გარდმოსული], როგორც გზამკვლევი (ჭეშმარიტებისკენ) და სასიხარულო ამბავი მორწმუნეთათვის.
Sag: „Wer (auch immer) ein Feind von Jibril ist, so hat er ihn (also den Quran) fürwahr mit Allahs Erlaubnis auf dein Herz herabkommen lassen, das bestätigend, was vor ihm (offenbart) war, und als Rechtleitung und frohe Botschaft für die Gläubigen.“
Πες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ, στους Εβραίους που έλεγαν ότι ο Τζιμπρίλ -Γαβριήλ- είναι ο εχθρός τους) ότι όποιος είναι εχθρός του Τζιμπρίλ, (ας μάθει ότι ο Τζιμπρίλ) είναι αυτός που το έφερε (το Κορ'άν) κάτω στην καρδιά σου, με την άδεια του Αλλάχ, το οποίο (Κορ'άν) επιβεβαιώνει αυτά που υπήρχαν πριν από αυτό (από Θεία Βιβλία) και αποτελεί καθοδήγηση και χαρμόσυνη είδηση για τους πιστούς.
(ऐ नबी!)[46] कह दीजिए कि जो व्यक्ति जिबरील का शत्रु हो, तो निःसंदेह उसने इसे आपके दिल पर अल्लाह के आदेश से उतारा है, उसकी पुष्टि करने वाला है, जो इससे पूर्व है तथा ईमान वालों के लिए मार्गदर्शन एवं शुभ समाचार है।
Di’: “Chi è stato nemico di Jibrīl, in verità è stato lui a farlo discendere sul tuo cuore, con il permesso di Allāh, a conferma di quello che ha già tra le mani, e Guida e Buon Annuncio per i credenti.
97. Sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ ): „Kas bebūtų Džibrilio (Gabrielio) priešas (lai miršta savo įtūžyje), nes iš tiesų, Allaho leidimu jis apreiškė jį (šį Koraną) į tavo širdį, patvirtinantį tai, kas atėjo iki jo [t. y. Tauratą (Torą) ir Indžylį (Evangeliją)], ir (duodantį) teisingą vedimą bei gerą žinią tikintiesiems.

Скажи: «Кто является врагом Джибрилу — а воистину, это он низвёл его [Коран] на твоё сердце с дозволения Аллаха, как подтверждение истинности того, что было прежде, и как руководство и благую весть для верующих.
Реци: "Онај ко је непријатељ анђелу Гаврилу, нека зна да он Аллаховом дозволом теби на срце ставља Кур' ан потврдујући истинитост онога од пре, као путоказ и радосну вест верницима."
Sema: Aliyekuwa ni adui wa Jibril, basi huyo ndiye aliyeiteremsha Qur'ani moyoni mwako kwa idhini ya Mwenyezi Mungu, inayothibitisha yaliyokuwa kabla yake, na ni uongofu na bishara njema kwa Waumini.
Säg: ”Den som är fiende till Gabriel [ska veta] att det är han som har förmedlat denna [Koran] till ditt hjärta, med Guds tillåtelse, som en bekräftelse på vad som fanns före den [från tidigare uppenbarelser] och som vägledning och glädjebudskap till de troende.
De ki: “Her kim Cebrâîl’e düşman ise, bilsin ki o, Allah’ın izni ile Kur’an’ı; önceki kitapları doğrulayıcı, Müminler için de bir hidayet rehberi ve müjde verici olarak senin kalbine indirmiştir.”
(اے نبی!) آپ کہہ دیجیئے : جو شخص جبریل کا دشمن ہے، تو بے شک اس نے اس (قرآن) کو آپ کے دل پر اللہ کے حکم سے اتارا ہے، جو اپنے سے پہلے کی کتاب کی تصدیق کرنے واﻻ اور مومنوں کو ہدایت اور خوشخبری دینے واﻻ ہے[1] (تو اللہ بھی اس کا 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.

You will find them, of all mankind, the most eager for life, even more than the polytheists. Every one of them wishes he could live a thousand years; but to be granted a long life will not nudge him from the punishment. God is Seeing of what they do.
And thou wilt find them greediest of mankind for life and (greedier) than the idolaters. (Each) one of them would like to be allowed to live a thousand years. And to live (a thousand years) would be no means remove him from the doom. Allah is Seer of what they do
Why, thou wilt find them the greediest of men for life; and of those who associate others with God one would fain live for a thousand years,- but he will not be reprieved from punishment by being let live, for God seeth what they do
And thou wilt surely find them of all men most covetous of life, beyond even the polytheists. To be kept alive a thousand years might one of them desire: but that he may be preserved alive, shall no one reprieve himself from the punishment! And God seeth what they do
and thou shalt surely find them of all men the most covetous of life, even more than the idolaters: One of them would desire his life to be prolonged a thousand years, but none shall reprieve himself from punishment, that his life may be prolonged: God seeth that which they do

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.60 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.
