And We inspired Moses: "Travel by night with My servants, and strike for them a dry path across the sea, not fearing being overtaken, nor worrying."

Ne i shpallëm Musait: "Udhëto natën me robërit e Mi dhe hapu atyre një rrugë të tharë në det, ku nuk do të frikësohesh se ju zënë, as do të kesh frikë (nga mbytja)."
আর অবশ্যই আমি মূসার প্রতি ওহী করেছি যে, তুমি আমার বান্দাদের নিয়ে রাত্রিতে বের হয়ে যাও; তারপর (লাঠি দিয়ে আঘাত করে) তাদের জন্য সমুদ্রের মধ্যে শুকনো পথ তৈরি করো। তুমি (পিছনে) ধরা পড়ার ভয় করবে না এবং (সামনে ডুবে যাওয়ার) কোনো আশঙ্কাও করবে না।
I Mi objavismo Musau: “Noću izvedi robove Moje i s njima suhim putem kroz more prođi, ne strahujući da će te oni stići i da ćeš se utopiti.”
I Mi objavismo Mojsiju: “Noću izvedi robove Moje i s njima suhim putem kroz more prođi, ne strahujući da će te oni stići i da ćeš se utopiti.”

და ვფიცავ, ზეშთავაგონეთ მუსას რომ: «ღამით წაიყვანე ჩემი მსახურები [ისრაილის შთამომავალთაგან] [ეგვიპტიდან] და გაუკვალე მათ მშრალი გზა ზღვაში. არ შეუშინდე მდევარს [ფარაონსა და მის ჯარს] და არც შეძრწუნდე». [და შუმავალმა მუსამ ისრაილის შთამომავლებთან ერთად დატოვა ეგვიპტე]
Und Wir gaben ja bereits Musa (als Offenbarung) ein: „Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort und schlage ihnen einen trockenen Weg durch das Meer; du befürchtest weder, eingeholt zu werden, noch hast du Angst.“
Πράγματι, εμπνεύσαμε στον Μωυσή: «Βγες τη νύχτα (απ' εκείνη τη χώρα) με τους δούλους Μου, και κάνε γι' αυτούς ένα ξερό μονοπάτι μέσα στο νερό (χτυπώντας το με τη ράβδό σου). Μην φοβάσαι να σας προλάβουν (ο Φαραώ και οι στρατιώτες του), και μη φοβάσαι (να πνιγείτε).»
और निश्चय ही हमने मूसा की ओर वह़्य की कि मेरे बंदो को रातों-रात ले जा, फिर उनके लिए समुद्र में एक सूखा मार्ग बना,[21] न तू पकड़े जाने से भय खाएगा और न डरेगा।
E ispirammo a Mūsā: «Parti di notte a capo dei Nostri servi e apri loro nel mare una strada asciutta, e non temere persecuzione e non avere paura».
77. Ir iš tiesų Mes apreiškėme Mūsai (Mozei) (sakydami): „Keliauk naktį su ibadi (Mano vergais) ir suduok sausą kelią jiems jūroje, nesibaimindamas nei būti pasivytas [Firauno (Faraono)] nei bijodamas (paskęsti jūroje).“

Действительно, Мы внушили Мусе: «Выведи Моих рабов ночью и проложи им в море сухой путь, не опасаясь преследования и не страшась».
И Ми објависмо Мојсију: „Ноћу изведи Моје слуге и с њима сувим путем кроз море прођи, и не страхуј да ће те они стићи, нити се плаши утапања.“
Na tulimfunulia Musa: Toka usiku na waja wangu, na uwapigie njia kavu baharini. Usihofu kukamatwa, wala usiogope.
Vi uppenbarade till Mose: ”Bege dig av med mina tjänare under natten, och bered dem en torr passage genom havet. Oroa dig inte för att de ska hinna ifatt dig, och var inte rädd.”
Şüphesiz Mûsâ'ya, yetişilmesinden korkmadan ve (boğulmaktan) endişe duymaksızın kullarımı geceleyin yürüyüşe geçir ve onlara denizde kuru bir yol aç diye vahyettik.
ہم نے موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کی طرف وحی نازل فرمائی کہ تو راتوں رات میرے بندوں کو لے چل[1] ، اور ان کے لئے دریا میں خشک راستہ بنا لے[2]، پھر نہ تجھے کسی کے آپکڑنے کا خطره ہوگا نہ ڈر.[3]
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.

But whoever comes to Him a believer, having worked righteousness-these will have the highest ranks.

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 — 0.55 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.
