Musai tha: "Takimi me ju le të jetë në ditën e festës, kur të tubohen njerëzit paradite."
মূসা বললেন: ‘তোমাদের নির্ধারিত সময় হলো উৎসবের দিন এবং সে দিনে মানুষদের পূর্বাহ্নে (সকালে) একত্র করা হবে।’
Reče: "Neka ročište bude za praznik i neka se narod izjutra sakupi.”
Reče: "Neka ročište bude za praznik i neka se narod izjutra sakupi.”
[Muusaa] maaki: fodoore mooɗon nden ko ñande saɗɗugol ngol, yo yimɓe ɓen mooɓindire mbeetaa(fenynyaange).
[მუსამ] უთხრა [ფარაონს]: «თქვენთან შეხვედრის დრო იყოს მორთულობის დღე [დღესასწაული], და ხალხი შეიკრიბოს შუადღის წინა ჟამს (დუჰა)».
Er sagte: „Eure Verabredung(szeit) soll der Tag des Schmuckfestes sein, und die Menschen sollen am Vormittag versammelt werden.“
(Ο Μωυσής) είπε: «Η ώρα συνάντησης μαζί σας θα είναι η ημέρα της γιορτής, όταν συγκεντρώνονται οι άνθρωποι το πρωί.»
(मूसा ने) कहा : तुम्हारे वादे का समय उत्सव का दिन[15] है तथा यह कि लोग दिन चढ़े इकट्ठे हो जाएँ।
Disse: «Sia l’appuntamento per il giorno della festa e che la gente si raduni nel meriggio».
59. [Mūsa (Mozė)] tarė: „Tavo paskirtas susitikimas yra šventės dieną, ir lai žmonės susirenka, kai saulė pakils (priešpiet).“
(Muusaanis) ni jedhe: “Beellamni keessan guyyaa bareechifannaati, (ayyaanaati); namoonnis (yeroo) waaree walitti qabamuudha”
Он сказал: «Ваш срок — День Украшения, и пусть люди будут собраны в дополуденное время».
„Нека време сусрета буде на дан вашег празника“, рече Мојсије, „и нека се народ ујутру сакупи.“
Akasema: Miadi yenu ni siku ya Sikukuu ya mapambo; na watu wakusanywe kabla ya adhuhuri.
[Mose] sa: ”Låt vår sammankomst ske på högtidsdagens förmiddag då människorna samlas.”
Mûsâ da: "Buluşma zamanımız bayram günü ve insanların bir araya toplandığı kuşluk vaktidir." dedi.
موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) نے جواب دیا کہ زینت اور جشن کے دن[1] کا وعده ہے اور یہ کہ لوگ دن چڑھے ہی جمع ہو جائیں.
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.

He said, "Did you come to us to drive us out of our land with your magic, O Moses?
He said: Hast come to drive us out from our land by thy magic, O Moses
Said he, 'Hast thou come to us, to turn us out of our land with thy magic, O Moses
He said, "Hast thou come, O Moses, to drive us from our land by thine enchantments
and he said, art thou come unto us that thou mayest dispossess us of our land by thy enchantments, O Moses

We will produce for you magic like it; so make an appointment between us and you, which we will not miss-neither us, nor you-in a central place."
But we surely can produce for thee magic the like thereof; so appoint a tryst between us and you, which neither we nor thou shall fail to keep, at a place convenient (to us both)
Then we will bring you magic like it; and we will make between us and thee an appointment; we will not break it, nor do thou either;-a fair place
Therefore will we assuredly confront thee with like enchantments: so appoint a meeting between us and you - we will not fail it, we, and do not thou - in a place alike for both
Verily we will meet thee with the like enchantments: Wherefore fix an appointment between us and thee; we will not fail it, neither shalt thou, in an equal place

The translators word this verse differently
Pharaoh turned away, put together his plan, and then came back.
Then Pharaoh went and gathered his strength, then came (to the appointed tryst)
But Pharaoh turned his back, and collected his tricks, and then he came
And Pharaoh turned away, and collected his craftsmen and came
And Pharaoh turned away from Moses, and gathered together the most expert magicians, to execute his stratagem; and then came to the appointment

Moses said to them, "Woe to you. Do not fabricate lies against God, or He will destroy you with a punishment. He who invents lies will fail."
Moses said unto them: Woe unto you! Invent not a lie against Allah, lest He extirpate you by some punishment. He who lieth faileth miserably
Said Moses to them, 'Woe to you! do not forge against God a lie; lest He destroy you by torment; for disappointed has ever been he who has forged
Said Moses to them, "Woe to you! devise not a lie against God: For then will he destroy you by a punishment. They who have lied have ever perished
Moses said unto them, woe be unto you! Do not devise a lie against God, lest he utterly destroy you by some judgment: For he shall not prosper who deviseth lies

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 — 0.63 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.
