Thuaj: "Zoti im, fal dhe mëshiro, se Ti je më i Miri i mëshiruesve."
আর (হে রাসূল! তুমি) বলো: ‘হে আমাদের রব! আপনি ক্ষমা করুন, দয়া করুন এবং আপনিই সর্বশ্রেষ্ঠ দয়ালু।’
I reci: “Gospodaru moj, oprosti i smiluj se, Ti si najmilostiviji!"
I reci: “Gospodaru moj, oprosti i smiluj se, Ti si najmilostiviji!"
Maaku: "Jooma am, Yaafo Yurmo ko Aan Ɓuri Moƴƴude Yurmeteeɓe ɓen."
და თქვი [ო, შუამავალო]: «უფალო ჩემო, მომიტევე და შემიწყალე. რადგან შენ ხარ შემწყალებელთაგან საუკეთესო».
Und sag: „Mein Herr, vergib und erbarme Dich, denn Du bist der Beste der Barmherzigen.“
Και πες (ω, Μωχάμμαντ): «Κύριέ μου! Συγχώρεσε και Ελέησε (με). Πράγματι, Εσύ είσαι ο Καλύτερος από τους ελεήμονες!»
तथा आप प्रार्थना करें : ऐ मेरे पालनहार! क्षमा कर दे और दया कर, और तू सब दया करने वालों में सबसे अधिक दया करने वाला है।
E di’: “Dio mio, perdona e abbi pietà, e Tu sei il Migliore dei Misericordiosi!”
118. Ir sakyk (Muchammedai ﷺ): „Mano Viešpatie, atleisk ir būk gailestingas, nes Tu esi Geriausias iš tų, kurie rodo gailestingumą!“
“Gooftaa kiyya! Naaf araarami, rahmatas (naaf) godhi, Ati irra caalaa warra rahmata godhaniiti” jedhi.
Скажи: «Господь мой! Прости и помилуй, ибо Ты — наилучший из милующих!»
И реци: „Господару мој, опрости и смилуј се, Ти си најмилостивији!“
Nawe sema, "Mola wangu Mlezi, samehe na urehemu nawe ni Mbora wa wanaorehemu."
Och säg: ”Herre, förlåt oss och förbarma dig över oss - du, den barmhärtigaste av alla!”
De ki: “Rabbim! Bağışla, merhamet et. Çünkü sen merhamet edenlerin en hayırlısısın!”
اور کہو کہ اے میرے رب! تو بخش اور رحم کر اور تو سب مہربانوں سے بہتر مہربانی کرنے واﻻ ہے.
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.

So Exalted is God, the Ruler, the Real. There is no god except He, the Lord of the Noble Throne.
Now Allah be Exalted, the True King! There is no Allah save Him, the Lord of the Throne of Grace
But exalted be God, the true; there is no god but He, the Lord of the noble throne
Wherefore let God be exalted, the King, the Truth! There is no god but He! Lord of the stately throne
Wherefore let GOD be exalted, the King, the Truth! There is no GOD besides him, the LORD of the honourable throne

The translators word this verse differently
Whoever invokes another god besides God-he has no proof thereof-his reckoning rests with his Lord. The disbelievers will not succeed.
He who crieth unto any other god along with Allah hath no proof thereof. His reckoning is only with his Lord. Lo! disbelievers will not be successful
and whoso calls upon another god with God has no proof of it, but, verily, his account is with his Lord; verily, the misbelievers shall not prosper
And whoso, together with God, shall call on another god, for whom he hath no proof, shall surely have to give account to his Lord. Aye, it shall fare ill with the infidels
Whoever together with the true GOD shall invoke another god, concerning whom he hath no demonstrative proof, shall surely be brought to an account for the same before his LORD. Verily the infidels shall not prosper

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 — 0.49 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.
