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.
In order to make Satan's suggestions a trial for those whose hearts are diseased, and those whose hearts are hardened. The wrongdoers are in profound discord.

(Allahu lejon një gjë të tillë) që Ai ta bëjë atë (pështjellim) që hedh shejtani sprovë për ata që kanë sëmundje në zemrat e tyre dhe për ata, zemrat e të cilëve janë të ngurtësuara. Me të vërtetë, keqbërësit janë në kundërshtim të thellë.
এটা এজন্য যে, শয়তান (নবীর পড়ার মধ্যে) যা নিক্ষেপ করে, তা যাতে তিনি তাদের জন্য পরীক্ষার বস্তু বানিয়ে দেন, যাদের অন্তরসমূহে ব্যাধি রয়েছে এবং যাদের হৃদয়সমূহ পাষাণ। আর নিশ্চয় যালিমরা অনেক মতভেদে লিপ্ত রয়েছে।(২৩)
To je zato da ono što šejtan ubaci učini iskušenjem za one u čijim srcima je bolest i za one čija su srca okrutna – a nepravedni su, zaista, u rascjepu i na stranputici dalekoj,
To je zato da ono što sotona ubaci učini iskušenjem za one u čijim srcima je bolest i za one čija su srca okrutna – a nepravedni su, zaista, u rascjepu i na stranputici dalekoj,

(ეს კი სატანისგან დამოუკიდებლად არ ხდება, არამედ ალლაჰი ამის ნებას რთავს), რათა ის, რასაც სატანა აგდებს [ჩაგონებებსა და ეჭვებს], გამოცდად აქციოს მათთვის, რომელთა გულებშიც სნეულებაა [ეჭვი და თვალთმაქცობა], და მათთვისაც, რომელთა გულები გამქვავებულია. და ჭეშმარიტად, უსამართლოები უეჭველად შორსმყოფ განხეთქილებაში არიან (ჭეშმარიტებისგან).
(Das ist so,) damit Er das, was der Satan dazwischenwirft, zu einer Versuchung für diejenigen macht, in deren Herzen Krankheit ist und deren Herzen verhärtet sind. Und die Ungerechten befinden sich fürwahr in tiefem Widerstreit.
Για να κάνει (ο Αλλάχ) αυτά που έριξε ο Σατανάς (από ψιθύρους και παρανοήσεις) ως δοκιμασία γι' εκείνους (τους υποκριτές) που έχουν στις καρδιές τους την αρρώστια (της υποκρισίας), και γι' εκείνους (τους άπιστους) των οποίων οι καρδιές είναι σκληρές. Πράγματι, οι άδικοι βρίσκονται σε ακραία εναντίωση (προς τον Αλλάχ και τους Αγγελιαφόρους Του), μακριά από την αλήθεια.
ताकि वह (अल्लाह) शैतान के डाले हुए संशय को उनके लिए परीक्षण बना दे, जिनके दिलों में रोग है और जिनके दिल कठोर हैं। और निःसंदेह अत्याचारी लोग विरोध में बहुत दूर चले गए हैं।
per fare, di ciò che Satana sussurra, una tentazione per quelli che hanno in cuore una malattia, e per quelli che hanno un cuore duro – e in verità gli ingiusti sono in un’eterna discordia –
53. Kad Jis (Allahas) padaro tai, kas yra Šaitan (Šėtono) įmetama, išbandymu tiems, kurių širdyse liga (veidmainystės ir netikėjimo) ir kurių širdys kietos. Ir be abejonės, Zalimūn (daugiadieviai ir bloga darantys) yra nutolę priešininkai (nuo tiesos prieš Allaho Pasiuntinį ir tikinčiuosius).

[Это для того], чтобы сделать подброшенное шайтаном искушением для тех, чьи сердца поражены недугом и чьи сердца ожесточены. Воистину, несправедливые — в глубоком расколе.
Да би оно што је Сотона убацио учинио искушењем за оне у чијим срцима је болест и за оне чија су срца окорела. А заиста су неверници у бескрајној неслози.
Hayo ni ili alifanye lile analolitia Shetani liwe ni majaribu kwa wale wenye maradhi ndani ya nyoyo zao, na wale ambao nyoyo zao ni ngumu. Na hakika madhalimu wako katika upinzani wa mbali.
Detta fick ske för att Satans försök till förvrängning skulle bli en prövning för dem med sjuka hjärtan och för de hårdhjärtade. Ja, de orättfärdiga är djupt försjunkna i sin förvillelse.
Allah, Şeytan'ın attığı o vesveseyi kalplerinde hastalık bulunan ve kalpleri kaskatı olan kimseler için bir fitne kılmıştır. Muhakkak zalimler uzak bir ayrılık içindedirler.
یہ اس لئے کہ شیطانی ملاوٹ کو اللہ تعالیٰ ان لوگوں کی آزمائش کا ذریعہ بنا دے جن کے دلوں میں بیماری ہے اور جن کے دل سخت ہیں[1] ۔ بیشک ﻇالم لوگ گہری مخالفت میں ہیں.
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
We never sent a messenger before you, or a prophet, but when he had a desire Satan interfered in his wishes. But God nullifies what Satan interjects, and God affirms His revelations. God is Omniscient and Wise.
Never sent We a messenger or a prophet before thee but when He recited (the message) Satan proposed (opposition) in respect of that which he recited thereof. But Allah abolisheth that which Satan proposeth. Then Allah establisheth His revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise
We have not sent before thee any apostle or prophet, but that when he wished, Satan threw not something into his wish; but God annuls what Satan throws; then does God confirm his signs, and God is knowing, wise
We have not sent any apostle or prophet before thee, among whose desires Satan injected not some wrong desire, but God shall bring to nought that which Satan had suggested. Thus shall God affirm His revelations for God is Knowing, Wise
We have sent no apostle, or prophet, before thee, but, when he read, Satan suggested some error in his reading. But God shall make void that which Satan hath suggested: Then shall God confirm his signs; for God is knowing and wise

And so that those endowed with knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord, and so believe in it, and their hearts soften to it. God guides those who believe to a straight path.
And that those who have been given knowledge may know that it is the truth from thy Lord, so that they may believe therein and their hearts may submit humbly unto Him. Lo! Allah verily is guiding those who believe unto a right path
and that those who have been given 'the knowledge' may know that it is the truth from thy Lord, and may believe therein, and that their hearts may be lowly; for, verily, God surely will guide those who believe into a right way
And that they to whom "the Knowledge" hath been given, may know that the Koran is the truth from thy Lord, and may believe in it, and their hearts may acquiesce in it: for God is surely the guider of those who believe, into the straight path
And that they on whom knowledge hath been bestowed, may know that this book is the truth from thy Lord, and may believe therein; and that their hearts may acquiesce in the same: For God is surely the director of those who believe, into the right way

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.
