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.
Whoever comes to his Lord guilty, for him is Hell, where he neither dies nor lives.

Sigurisht, atë që vjen te Zoti i tij si keqbërës, e pret Xhehenemi, ku as do të vdesë e as do të jetojë.
নিশ্চয়ই (কিয়ামতের দিবসে) যে তার রবের নিকট অপরাধী অবস্থায় আসবে, তার জন্য রয়েছে জাহান্নাম। সেখানে সে মরবেও না, বাঁচবেও না।
Zaista, onoga koji pred Gospodara svoga kao prestupnik dođe – čeka Džehennem; u njemu neće ni umrijeti ni živjeti;
Zaista, onoga koji pred Gospodara svoga kao prestupnik dođe – čeka Pakao; u njemu neće ni umrijeti ni živjeti;
Pellet on mo ari ka Joomi mu'un hara ko o bonɗo; haray pellet, no woodani mo Jahannama o maayataa e nder magge o wuurataa kadi .
ჭეშმარიტად, იმას, ვინც ცოდვილი [ურწმუნო] წარსდგება თავისი უფლის წინაშე, მიეგება ჯოჯოხეთი. მასში არც მოკვდება [რათა დაისვენოს] და არც იცოცხლებს [კარგი სიცოცხლით].
Wahrlich, wer zu seinem Herrn als Übeltäter kommt, so steht ihm die Hölle zu; darin wird er weder sterben noch leben.
Πράγματι, όποιος έρχεται στον Κύριό του (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως) ως άπιστος, θα έχει την Κόλαση (ως τιμωρία του), όπου δε θα πεθάνει εκεί μέσα, ούτε θα ζήσει.
निःसंदेह तथ्य यह है कि जो अपने पालनहार के पास अपराधी बनकर आएगा, तो निश्चित रूप से उसी के लिए नरक है, जिसमें न वह मरेगा और न जिएगा।
In verità chi verrà al suo Dio da criminale, in verità avrà l’Inferno, dove non potrà mai né morire né vivere,
74. Iš tiesų, kas atvyks pas savo Viešpatį, būdamas Mudžrim (nusikaltėliu, daugiadieviu, nuodėmiautoju, netikinčiuoju Allaho Vienumą ir Jo Pasiuntinius), tada tikrai jam yra Pragaras, kuriame jis nei mirs, nei gyvens.
Namni badii hojjataa ta’ee gara Rabbii isaa dhufe, isaaf jahannamtu jira; ishee keessatti hin du’u, (jiruu gaarii) hin jiraatus.
Воистину, тот, кто придёт к своему Господу будучи преступным, тому — Геенна: в ней он не умрёт и не будет жить.
Заиста, онога који пред својим Господарем дође као неверник - чека Пакао; у њему неће ни да умре ни да живи;
Hakika atakayemjia Mola wake Mlezi naye ni mhalifu, basi kwa yakini, yake huyo ni Jahannamu. Hafi humo wala haishi.
För den som kommer till sin Herre som obotfärdig syndare väntar helvetet; där får han varken dö eller leva.
Gerçek şu ki, kim Rabbine günahkâr olarak gelirse onun için cehennem vardır. Orada ne ölür, ne de (güzel bir hayat) yaşar.
بات یہی ہے کہ جو بھی گنہگار بن کر اللہ تعالیٰ کے ہاں حاضر ہوگا اس کے لئے دوزخ ہے، جہاں نہ موت ہوگی اور نہ زندگی.[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.

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

We have believed in our Lord, so that He may forgive us our sins, and the magic you have compelled us to practice. God is Better, and more Lasting."

Verily, we believe in our Lord, that He may pardon us our sins, and the magic thou hast forced us to use; and God is better and more lasting

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 — 0.67 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.
