He said, "My Lord, judge with justice." And, "Our Lord is the Gracious, Whose help is sought against what you allege."

(I Dërguari) tha: "Zoti im, gjyko (mes nesh) me drejtësi. Zoti ynë është i Gjithëmëshirshmi, nga i Cili kërkojmë ndihmë kundër asaj që thoni."
রাসূল (তার রবকে ডেকে) বলেছিল: ‘হে আমার রব! আপনি (আমাদের ও আমাদের জাতির মাঝে) ন্যায়সঙ্গতভাবে ফয়সালা করে দিন।’ আর (হে মানুষ!) আমাদের রব তো পরম করুণাময়। তোমরা যা বলছ, সে বিষয়ে তিনিই একমাত্র সহায়স্থল।
“Gospodaru moj, presudi onako kako su zaslužili”, reče on, “a Gospodar naš Svemilosni jeste Onaj od Kojega treba tražiti pomoć protiv onoga čime Ga opisujete.”

Maaku: "Jooma, Ñaawir Goonga kan ko Joomi amen jurmotooɗo o woni ballitorteeɗo On e dow ko cifotoɗon".
თქვა [შუამავალმა]: «უფალო ჩემო! განსაჯე ჭეშმარიტებით [ჩვენსა და ურწმუნოებს შორის]. და ჩვენი უფალი — მოწყალეა, რომლისგანაც ვითხოვთ დახმარებას ყველაფრის წინააღმდეგ, რასაც თქვენ, (ო, ურწმუნოებო), ცრუდ მიაწერთ».
Er sagte: „Mein Herr, richte der Wahrheit entsprechend.“ Und unser Herr ist der Allerbarmer, bei Dem Hilfe zu ersuchen ist gegen das, was ihr beschreibt.
(Ο Προφήτης) είπε: «Κύριέ μου! Κρίνε (ανάμεσα σε μας τους Μουσουλμάνους, και σ' αυτούς τους άπιστους) με την αλήθεια.» (Και είπε στους άπιστους): «Από τον Κύριό μας, τον Αρ-Ραχμάν (Παντελεήμονα), ζητάμε βοήθεια ενάντια σε ό,τι περιγράφετε (από απιστία και διάψευση).»
उस (नबी) ने कहा : ऐ मेरे पालनहार! सत्य के साथ फ़ैसला कर दे। और हमारा पालनहार ही वह अत्यंत दयावान् है, जिससे उन बोतों पर सहायता माँगी जाती है, जो तुम बयान करते हो।
Di’: “Dio mio, giudica con giustizia”. E il nostro Dio è il Compassionevole, di Cui si implora sostegno contro ciò che descrivete».
112. Jis (Muchammedas ﷺ) tarė: „Mano Viešpatie, Teisk teisingai! Mūsų Viešpats yra Maloningiausias, Kurio Pagalbos reikia siekti prieš tai, ką jūs priskiriate (Allahui, t. y. kad Jis turi palikuonių, ir Muchammedui ﷺ, t. y. kad jis yra burtininkas, ir Koranui, t. y. kad tai yra poezija)!“
(Muhammad) ni jedhe: “(Yaa) Rabbi! (Anaafi warra ana sobsiisan giddutti) dhugaan murtii godhi, Gooftaan keenya Rahmaani, waan isin jettan irratti gargaarsifatamaadha.
Он сказал: «Господь мой! Рассуди с истиной! Наш Господь — Всемилостивый, у Которого ищут помощи против того, что вы приписываете».
“Господару мој, пресуди онако како су заслужили!” Рече он. “А од Господара нашег, Милостивог, треба тражити помоћ против оног што ви износите.”
Sema: Mola wangu Mlezi! Hukumu kwa haki. Na Mola wetu Mlezi ndiye Mwingi wa rehema, aombwaye msaada juu ya mnayoyazua.
[Muhammed] sa: ”Herre! Döm [mellan oss] med rättvisa! Vår Herre är förvisso den Nåderike, vars stöd vi söker mot era påståenden.”
(Peygamber): “Ey Rabbim! Hak ile hüküm ver. Bizim Rabbimiz, sizin türlü nitelemelerinize karşı yardımı istenecek olan Rahman’dır.” dedi.
خود نبی نے کہا[1] اے رب! انصاف کے ساتھ فیصلہ فرما اور ہمارا رب بڑا مہربان ہے جس سے مدد طلب کی جاتی ہے ان باتوں پر جو تم بیان کرتے ہو.[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.

The translators word this verse differently
He knows what is said openly, and He knows what you conceal.
Lo! He knoweth that which is said openly, and that which ye conceal
Verily, He knows what is spoken openly, and He knows what ye hide
God truly knoweth what is spoken aloud, and He also knoweth that which ye hide
Verily God knoweth the discourse which is spoken in public; and He also knoweth that which ye hold in private

"And I do not know whether it is perhaps a trial for you, and an enjoyment for a while."
And I know not but that this may be a trial for you, and enjoyment for a while
I know not, haply, it is a trial for you and a provision for a season
And I know not whether haply this delay be not for your trial, and that ye may enjoy yourselves for a time
I know not but peradventure the respite granted you is for a trial of you; and that ye may enjoy the prosperity of this world for a time

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 — 0.64 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.
