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.
Thus We have revealed it an Arabic Quran, and We have diversified the warnings in it, that perhaps they would become righteous, or it may produce a lesson for them.

Kështu pra, Ne e zbritëm Kuranin në gjuhën arabe dhe i shpjeguam paralajmërimet, në mënyrë që ata të kenë frikë Allahun ose të marrin mësim.
এভাবেই(২০) আমি এটিকে আরবী কুরআন হিসেবে নাযিল করেছি এবং এতে বিভিন্নভাবে শাস্তির সতর্কবাণী বর্ণনা করেছি, যাতে তারা তাকওয়া অবলম্বন করে অথবা এই কুরআন তাদের জন্য একটি উপদেশ সৃষ্টি করবে।
I eto tako, Mi Kur’an na arapskom jeziku objavljujemo i u njemu opomene ponavljamo da bi se oni grijeha klonili ili da bi ih na poslušnost pobudio.
I eto tako, Mi Kuran na arapskom jeziku objavljujemo i u njemu opomene ponavljamo da bi se oni grijeha klonili ili da bi ih na poslušnost pobudio.

ამგვარად, ჩვენ გარდმოვავლინეთ იგი არაბულ ყურანად და დაწვრილებით განვმარტეთ მასში შეგონებანი, რათა მათ ღვთის სასჯელისა ეშინოდეთ და თავს არიდებდნენ მას, ან რათა იგი [ყურანი] მათთვის შეგონების წყაროდ ქცეულიყო.
Und auf diese Weise haben Wir ihn als einen arabischen Quran hinabgesandt, und darin verschiedene Androhungen dargelegt, auf dass sie (Allah) fürchten werden mögen oder er bei ihnen Gedenken (Allahs) hervorrufe.
Και έτσι το στείλαμε ως ένα αραβικό Κορ’άν, και δώσαμε μέσα του διάφορες προειδοποιήσεις, ίσως να φυλάσσονται (οι άνθρωποι) από την τιμωρία Μας (τηρώντας τις εντολές Μας) ή να τους δώσει (το Κορ’άν) μία νουθεσία.
और इसी प्रकार हमने इसे अरबी क़ुरआन बनाकर अवतरित किया तथा इसमें चेतावनी की बातें विभिन्न प्रकार से वर्णन कीं, शायद कि वे डर जाएँ, अथवा यह उनके लिए कोई उपदेश पैदा कर दे।
E così lo abbiamo fatto discendere come Corano arabo, nel quale abbiamo formulato (ripetuto in vari modi) ammonimenti, affinché abbiano timore o ne ricavino un monito.
113. Ir taip Mes nuleidome tai kaip Koraną arabų kalba, ir paaiškinome jame detaliai perspėjimus tam, kad jie bijotų Allaho arba kad jis priverstų juos pasimokyti iš savęs (arba turėti garbę tikėti ir elgtis pagal jo mokymus).
Akkanatti qur'aana Afaan Arabaa goonee isa (Qur’aana) buufne; isa keessatti akeekkachiisa irraa addeessine. akka isaan sodaataniif yookiin akka gorsa isaaniif haaromsuuf.
И так Мы ниспослали его как арабский Коран и разными способами разъяснили в нём угрозу, — быть может, они будут богобоязненны или это послужит им напоминанием.
И Ми тако Кур’ан на арапском језику објављујемо и у њему опомене понављамо да би се они греха клонили или да би их на послушност подстакао.
Na namna hivi tumeiteremsha Qur-ani kwa Kiarabu, na tumekariri humo vitisho ili wapate kuogopa na kujilinda na iwaletee makumbusho.
Sålunda har vi uppenbarat denna Koran på arabiska och framställt dess varningar på olika sätt, för att de må frukta Gud eller ta lärdom.
Böylece onu Arapça bir Kur’ân olarak indirdik ve onda tehditlerimizi tekrar ettik. Olur ki korkarlar yahut o onlara bir ibret ve öğüt olur.
اسی طرح ہم نے تجھ پر عربی قرآن نازل فرمایا ہے اور طرح طرح سے اس میں ڈر کا بیان سنایا ہے تاکہ لوگ پرہیز گار بن[1] جائیں یا ان کے دل میں سوچ سمجھ تو پیدا کرے.[2]
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.

Faces will be humbled before the Living, the Eternal. Whoever carries injustice will despair.
And faces humble themselves before the Living, the Eternal. And he who beareth (a burden of) wrongdoing is indeed a failure (on that day)
Faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self-subsistent; and he who bears injustice is ever lost
And humble shall be their faces before Him that Liveth, the Self-subsisting: and undone he, who shall bear the burden of iniquity
And their faces shall be humbled before the living, the self-subsisting God; and he shall be wretched who shall bear his iniquity

The translators word this verse differently
But whoever has done righteous deeds, while being a believer-will fear neither injustice, nor grievance.
And he who hath done some good works, being a believer, he feareth not injustice nor begrudging (of his wage)
But he who does righteous acts and is a believer, he shall fear neither wrong nor diminution
But he who shall have done the things that are right and is a believer, shall fear neither wrong nor loss
But whosoever shall do good works, being a true believer, shall not fear any injustice, or any diminution of his reward from God

Exalted is God, the True King. Do not be hasty with the Quran before its inspiration to you is concluded, and say, "My Lord, increase me in knowledge."
Then exalted be Allah, the True King! And hasten not (O Muhammad) with the Qur'an ere its revelation hath been perfected unto thee, and say: My Lord! Increase me in knowledge
Exalted then be God, the king, the truth! Hasten not the Qur'an before its inspiration is decided for thee; but say, 'O Lord! increase me in knowledge
Exalted then be God, the King, the Truth! Be not hasty in its recital while the revelation of it to thee is incomplete. Say rather, "O my Lord, increase knowledge unto me
Wherefore let God be highly exalted, the king, the truth! Be not overhasty in receiving or repeating the Koran, before the revelation thereof be completed unto thee; and say, Lord, increase my knowledge

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 — 0.65 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.
