Në qoftë se të përgënjeshtrojnë, (ta dish se) para tyre përgënjeshtruan edhe populli i Nuhut dhe adët e themudët,
আর (হে রাসূল!) তারা (তোমার সম্প্রদায়) যদি তোমাকে মিথ্যারোপ করে, তবে (অবাক হওয়ার কিছু নেই। কারণ ) তাদের পূর্বে ( এভেবেই রাসূলদেরকে ) মিথ্যারোপ করেছিল নূহ, ‘আদ ও ছামূদের জাতি।
A to što te oni smatraju lažnim – pa i prije njih su narod Nuhov, i Ad, i Semud poslanike smatrali lažnim,
A to što te oni smatraju lažnim – pa i prije njih su narod Noin i Ad, i Semud poslanike smatrali lažnim,

ხოლო თუ ისინი [შენი ხალხი] ცრუდ შეგრაცხავენ [ო, მუჰამმად], მაშინ მათ წინაც შერაცხვეს ცრუდ [თავიანთი შუამავალები] ნუჰის/ნოეს ხალხმა, ადიანელებმა [ჰუდის ხალხმა] და სამუდიანელებმა [სალიჰის ხალხმა],
Und wenn sie dich der Lüge bezichtigen, so haben auch schon vor ihnen das Volk Nuhs, die 'Ad und die Thamud (ihre Gesandten) der Lüge bezichtigt,
Αν σε διαψεύσουν (οι άπιστοι, ω, Προφήτη), πράγματι, και πριν απ' αυτούς, ο λαός του Νώε, η φυλή ‘Αντ και η φυλή Θαμούντ είχαν διαψεύσει (τους Προφήτες τους, τον Νώε, τον Χουντ και τον Σάλιχ),
और (ऐ रसूल!) यदि वे आपको झुठलाएँ, तो निःसंदेह इनसे पहले नूह की जाति और आद तथा समूद (भी अपने रसूलों को) झुठला चुके हैं।
E se ti smentiscono, sappi che smentirono, prima di te, i popoli di Nūħ, di ‘Ad e di Themùd,
42. Ir jei jie neigia tave (Muchammedai ﷺ), taip pat neigė ir anksčiau jų Nūho (Nojaus), Ad ir Samud žmonės (savo Pranašus).
Yoo si kijibsiisan, isaaniin duras ummanni Nuuh, Aadiifi Samuud (nabiyyoota isaanii) kijibsiisanii jiru.
Если они сочтут тебя лжецом, то до них уже сочли [пророков] лжецами и народ Нуха, и племя ‘ад, и племя самуд,
А ако те они буду угонили у лаж, па и пре њих су народ Нојев, и Ад, и Семуд посланике угонили у лаж,
Na wakikukanusha, basi walikwishakanusha kabla yao watu wa Nuhu, na kina 'Aad na kina Thamud.
Om de anklagar dig för lögn, [tänk på att] så gjorde även Noas folk, [stammarna] 'Ᾱd och Thamūd,
Ey Muhammed! Eğer seni yalanlarlarsa bil ki, onlardan önce Nûh, Âd ve Semûd kavimleri de (peygamberlerini) yalanlamışlardı.
اگر یہ لوگ آپ کو جھٹلائیں (تو کوئی تعجب کی بات نہیں) تو ان سے پہلے نوح کی قوم اور عاد اور ﺛمود.
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.

Those who were unjustly evicted from their homes, merely for saying, "Our Lord is God." Were it not that God repels people by means of others: monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques-where the name of God is mentioned much-would have been demolished. God supports whoever supports Him. God is Strong and Mighty.
Those who have been driven from their homes unjustly only because they said: Our Lord is Allah - For had it not been for Allah's repelling some men by means of others, cloisters and churches and oratories and mosques, wherein the name of Allah is oft mentioned, would assuredly have been pulled down. Verily Allah helpeth one who helpeth Him. Lo! Allah is Strong, Almighty
who have been driven forth from their homes undeservedly, only for that they said, 'Our Lord is God;' and were it not for God's repelling some men with others, cloisters and churches and synagogues and mosques, wherein God's name is mentioned much, would be destroyed. But God will surely help him who helps Him; verily, God is powerful, mighty
Those who have been driven forth from their homes wrongfully, only because they say "Our Lord is the God." And if God had not repelled some men by others, cloisters, and churches, and oratories, and mosques, wherein the name of God is ever commemorated, would surely have been destroyed. And him who helpeth God will God surely help: for God is right Strong, Mighty
Who have been turned out of their habitations injuriously, and for no other reason than because they say, our Lord is God. And if God did not repel the violence of some men by others, verily monasteries, and churches, and synagogues, and the temples of the Moslems, wherein the name of God is frequently commemorated, would be utterly demolished. And God will certainly assist him who shall be on his side: For God is strong and mighty

Those who, when We empower them in the land, observe the prayer, and give regular charity, and command what is right, and forbid what is wrong. To God belongs the outcome of events.
Those who, if We give them power in the land, establish worship and pay the poor-due and enjoin kindness and forbid iniquity. And Allah's is the sequel of events
Who, if we establish them in the earth, are steadfast in prayer, and give alms, and bid what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and God's is the future of affairs
Those who, if we establish them in this land, will observe prayer, and pay the alms of obligation, and enjoin what is right, and forbid what is evil. And the final issue of all things is unto God
And He will assist those who, if We establish them in the earth, will observe prayer, and give alms, and command that which is just, and forbid that which is unjust. And unto God shall be the end of all things

The translators word this verse differently
And the inhabitants of Median. And Moses was denied. Then I reprieved those who disbelieved, but then I seized them. So how was My rejection?
(And) the dwellers in Midian. And Moses was denied; but I indulged the disbelievers a long while, then I seized them, and how (terrible) was My abhorrence
and the fellows of Midian; and Moses was called a liar too: but I let the misbelievers range at large, and then I seized on them, and how great was the change
and the dwellers in Madian, have charged their prophets with imposture! Moses, too, was charged with imposture! And I bore long with the unbelievers; then seize on them: and how great was the change I wrought
and the inhabitants of Madian, accused their prophets of imposture: And Moses was also charged with falsehood. And I granted a long respite unto the unbelievers: But afterwards I chastised them; and how different was the change I made in their condition

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 — 0.63 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.
