Verily we believe on our Lord, that he may forgive us our sins, and the sorcery which thou hast forced us to exercise: For God is better to reward, and more able to prolong punishment than thou

Ne, pa dyshim, besojmë në Zotin tonë, që Ai të na i falë gabimet tona dhe magjinë që na e ke detyruar. Allahu është më i miri (në shpërblim) dhe më i përhershmi (në ndëshkim)."
‘নিশ্চয় আমরা আমাদের রবের প্রতি ঈমান এনেছি, যাতে তিনি আমাদের অপরাধসমূহ এবং যে যাদু তুমি আমাদেরকে করতে বাধ্য করেছো, তা ক্ষমা করে দেন। আর আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ ও চিরস্থায়ী।’(১১)

Wahrlich, wir glauben an unseren Herrn, damit Er uns unsere Verfehlungen vergebe und (auch) die Zauberei, zu der du uns gezwungen hattest. Und Allah ist besser und beständiger.“
Πράγματι, πιστεύουμε στον Κύριό μας, και είθε να μας συγχωρήσει τις αμαρτίες μας και τη μαγεία που μας ανάγκασες να κάνουμε (εναντίον του Μωυσή). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ έχει μία καλύτερη ανταμοιβή (από ό,τι μας υποσχέθηκες), και μία τιμωρία που διαρκεί περισσότερο (από ό,τι μας απείλησες).»
निःसंदेह हम अपने पालनहार पर ईमान लाए हैं, ताकि वह हमारे लिए हमारे पापों और जादू के उन कामों को क्षमा कर दे, जो तूने हमें करने के लिए मजबूर किया है और अल्लाह सर्वोत्तम और सदा रहने वाला है।[20]
Noi abbiamo creduto in verità nel nostro Dio, e che voglia perdonarci i nostri errori e la magia a cui ci hai costretto, e Allāh è il Migliore e l’Eterno!»
73. Iš tiesų mes patikėjome mūsų Viešpačiu, kad Jis atleistų mums mūsų kaltes, ir už magiją, į kurią tu mus patraukei. Ir Allahas yra geriau dėl atlygio, lyginant su tavo [Firauno (Faraono)] atlygiu, ir ilgiau besitęsiantis (kalbant apie bausmes, lyginant su tavo bausmėmis).“

Ми верујемо у нашег Господара да би нам наше грехе опростио и враџбине на које си нас ти приморао. А Аллах најбоље награђује и казна Његова је вечна.”
Hakika sisi tumemuamini Mola wetu Mlezi ili atusamehe makosa yetu na uchawi uliotulazimisha kuufanya. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mbora na Mwenye kudumu zaidi (katika kuadhibu).
Vi tror på vår Herre för att han ska förlåta oss våra synder och den magi du tvingade oss att utföra. Guds [belöning] är bättre och [hans straff] varaktigare.”
"Gerçekten biz, günahlarımızı ve bizi işlemeye zorladığın büyüyü bağışlayarak bizi affetsin diye Rabbimize iman ettik. Allah’ın vereceği mükâfat daha hayırlı ve daha kalıcıdır."

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 believe in him before I have given you permission? He must be your chief, who has taught you magic. I will cut off your hands and your feet on alternate sides, and I will crucify you on the trunks of the palm-trees. Then you will know which of us is more severe in punishment, and more lasting."
(Pharaoh) said: Ye put faith in him before I give you leave. Lo! he is your chief who taught you magic. Now surely I shall cut off your hands and your feet alternately, and I shall crucify you on the trunks of palm trees, and ye shall know for certain which of us hath sterner and more lasting punishment

Therefore will I surely cut off your hands and feet on alternate sides, and I will surely crucify you on the trunks of palm trees; and ye shall surely know which of us is keenest at torment and more lasting
Said Pharaoh, "Believe ye on him ere I give you leave? He, in sooth, is your Master who hath taught you magic. I will therefore cut off your hands and your feet on opposite sides, and I will crucify you on trunks of the palm, and assuredly shall ye learn which of us is severest in punishing, and who is the more abiding
Pharaoh said unto them, do ye believe in him before I give you permission? Verily this is your master, who hath taught you magic. But I will surely cut off your hands and your feet on the opposite sides; and I will crucify you on trunks of palm-trees: And ye shall know which of us is more severe in punishing, and can longer protract your pains

The translators word this verse differently
They said, "We will not prefer you to the proofs that have come to us, and Him who created us. So issue whatever judgment you wish to issue. You can only rule in this lowly life.
They said: We choose thee not above the clear proofs that have come unto us, and above Him Who created us. So decree what thou wilt decree. Thou wilt end for us only this life of the world
Said they, 'We will never prefer thee to what has come to us of manifest signs, and to Him who originated us. Decide then what thou canst decide; thou canst only decide in the life of this world
They said, "We will not have more regard to thee than to the clear tokens which have come to us, or than to Him who hath made us: doom the doom thou wilt: Thou canst only doom as to this present life
They answered, we will by no means have greater regard unto thee, than unto those evident miracles which have been shewn us, or than unto him who hath created us. Pronounce therefore that sentence against us which thou art about to pronounce: For thou canst only give sentence as to this present life

Whoever comes to his Lord guilty, for him is Hell, where he neither dies nor lives.
Lo! whoso cometh guilty unto his Lord, verily for him is hell. There he will neither die nor live
Verily, he who comes to his Lord a sinner,- verily, for him is hell; he shall not die therein, and shall not live

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 — 0.50 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.
