Kur thirren tek Allahu dhe i Dërguari i Tij që ai të gjykojë mes tyre, një grup prej tyre kthejnë shpinën.
আর যখন তাদেরকে (মুনাফিকদেরকে) আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলের দিকে ডাকা হয়, যাতে তিনি তাদের মধ্যে বিচার-ফয়সালা করতে পারেন, তখন তাদের একটি দল (তার ফয়সালা থেকে) মুখ ফিরিয়ে নেয়।
Kad budu pozvani Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu da im presudi, neki od njih odjednom leđa okrenu,
Kad budu pozvani Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu da im presudi, neki od njih odjednom leđa okrenu,
Si ɓe noddaama fa'ade ka Alla e Nulaaɗo makko on fii yo o ñaawu hakkunde maɓɓe, tawa fedde goo e maɓɓe ko ɓe ɗuurniiɓe.
და როდესაც მათ ალლაჰისკენ და მისი მოციქულისკენ მოუწოდებენ, რათა მან [ალლაჰის მოციქულმა] მათ შორის განსაჯოს [განაჩენი გამოიტანოს], აი, მაშინ მათი ერთი ნაწილი ზურგს აქცევს.
Und wenn sie zu Allah und Seinem Gesandten gerufen werden, damit er zwischen ihnen richte, wendet sich sogleich eine Gruppe von ihnen ab.
Όταν καλούνται προς τον Αλλάχ (δηλ. στο Βιβλίο Του) και στον Αγγελιαφόρο Του, για να κρίνει (ο Αγγελιαφόρος) μεταξύ τους, μία ομάδα απ' αυτούς απομακρύνεται. [Όπως ο Μπισρ ο υποκριτής που είχε διαφωνία με έναν Εβραίο για ένα οικόπεδο, ο Εβραίος επέμενε να κρίνει μεταξύ τους ο Αγγελιαφόρος Μωχάμμαντ, αλλά ο Μπισρ επέμενε να κρίνει κάποιος άλλος, γνωρίζοντας ότι δεν είχε δίκιο].
और जब वे अल्लाह तथा उसके रसूल की ओर बुलाए जाते हैं, ताकि वह (रसूल) उनके बीच (विवाद का) निर्णय करें, तो अचानक उनमें से एक गिरोह मुँह फेरने वाला होता है।
E se vengono invitati a farsi giudicare da Allāh e dal Suo Messaggero, ecco un gruppo di loro rifiutare.
48. O kai jie kviečiami pas Allahą (t. y. Jo Žodžius, Koraną) ir Jo Pasiuntinį (ﷺ) teismui tarp jų, štai! Dalis jų atsisako (ateiti) ir nusigręžia.
Yeroo akka gidduu isaaniitti murteessuuf gara Allaahafi ergamaa Isaatti waamaman, gareen isaan irraa ta’e yoosuu garagaloodha.
А когда их призывают к Аллаху и Его Посланнику, чтобы он рассудил между ними — часть из них отворачивается.
Кад буду позвани Аллаху и Његовом Посланику да им пресуди, неки од њих одједном леђа окрену.
Na wanapoitwa kumuendea Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake ili ahukumu baina yao, kipo kikundi katika wao kinakataa.
Och när de kallas till Gud och hans sändebud för att han ska döma mellan dem, drar sig några av dem undan.
Aralarında hüküm vermesi için Allah’a ve Rasûlüne çağrıldıkları zaman, onlardan bir grup hemen yüz çevirirler.
جب یہ اس بات کی طرف بلائے جاتے ہیں کہ اللہ اور اس کا رسول ان کے جھگڑے چکا دے تو بھی ان کی ایک جماعت منھ موڑنے والی بن جاتی 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.
shown so it's never read alone

We sent down enlightening revelations, and God guides whomever He wills to a straight path.
Verily We have sent down revelations and explained them. Allah guideth whom He will unto a straight path
Now have we sent down manifest signs, and God guides whom He pleases unto the right way
Now have we sent down distinct signs. - And God guideth whom He will into the right path
Now have We sent down evident signs: And God directeth whom He pleaseth into the right way

And they say, "We have believed in God and the Messenger, and we obey," but some of them turn away afterwards. These are not believers.
And they say: We believe in Allah and the messenger, and we obey; then after that a faction of them turn away. Such are not believers
They will say, 'We believe in God and in the Apostle, and we obey.' Then a sect of them turned their backs after that, and they are not believers
For there are who say "We believe on God and on the Apostle, and we obey;" yet, after this, a part of them turn back. But these are not of the faithful
The hypocrites say, we believe in God, and on his apostle; and we obey them: Yet a part of them turneth back, after this; but these are not really believers

But if justice is on their side, they accept it willingly.
But if right had been with them they would have come unto him willingly
But had the right been on their side they would have come to him submissively enough
But had the truth been on their side, they would have come to Him, obedient
But if the right had been on their side, they would have come and submitted themselves unto Him

Is there sickness in their hearts? Or are they suspicious? Or do they fear that God may do them injustice? Or His Messenger? In fact, they themselves are the unjust.
Is there in their hearts a disease, or have they doubts, or fear they lest Allah and His messenger should wrong them in judgment? Nay, but such are evil-doers
Is there a sickness in their hearts, or do they doubt, or do they fear lest God and His Apostle should deal unfairly by them?- Nay, it is they who are unjust
What! are they diseased of heart? Do they doubt? Are they afraid that God and His Apostles will deal unfairly with them? Nay, themselves are the unjust doers
Is there an infirmity in their hearts? Do they doubt? Or do they fear lest God and his apostle act unjustly towards them? But themselves are the unjust doers

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 — 0.53 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.
