Ndërkohë, ajo e shmang dënimin nga vetja nëse betohet katër herë në Allahun se ai po gënjen.
তবে তারা স্ত্রীলোকটি থেকে শাস্তি রহিত করবে, যদি সে মহিলা আল্লাহর নামে চারবার শপথ করে বলে যে, নিশ্চয় তার স্বামী (তাকে ব্যভিচারের অপবাদ দেয়ার ব্যাপারে) মিথ্যাবাদীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।
A ona će kazne biti pošteđena, ako se četiri puta Allahom zakune da on, doista, laže,
A ona će kazne biti pošteđena, ako se četiri puta Allahom zakune da on, doista, laže,
Ɓe nduñira e [sonnaajo on] lepte ɗen, nde o seedotoo seedeeji nayi [o woondira] Alla, pellet [gorko on] ko e fenooɓe ɓen o jeyaa.
და დაშორდება [ასცდება] ქალს სასჯელი, თუ ოთხჯერ დაამოწმა ალლაჰის წინაშე, რომ კაცი მატყუართაგანია.
Und es wehrt von ihr die Strafe ab, wenn sie viermal bei Allah bezeugt, er gehöre gewiss zu den Lügnern.
Αλλά θα αποτρέψει από την ίδια την τιμωρία (της μοιχείας), το να δώσει τέσσερις καταθέσεις ορκιζόμενη στο Όνομα του Αλλάχ, ότι αυτός (ο άνδρας της) είναι ψεύτης,
और उस (स्त्री) से दंड[9] को यह बात हटाएगी कि वह अल्लाह की क़सम खाकर चार बार गवाही दे कि निःसंदेह वह (व्यक्ति) झूठों में से है।
E quella viene sottratta alla punizione giurando quattro volte per Allāh che in verità lui è bugiardo.
8. Tačiau atitrauks bausmę (užmėtymą akmenimis) nuo jos, jei ji paliudys keturis kartus, prisiekdama Allahą, kad jis (jos sutuoktnis) sako melą.
Adabbii (addunyaa) ishee irraa deebisa "Inni sobdoota irraayyi” jettee yeroo afur Rabbiin kakachaa rageessuun.
И отведёт от неё наказание то, что она четырежды поклянётся Аллахом, что он, воистину, из числа лжецов.
А она ће казне бити поштеђена, ако се четири пута Аллахом закуне да он, уистину, лаже.
Na mke itamwondokea adhabu kwa kutoa shahada mara nne kwa kiapo cha Mwenyezi Mungu, ya kwamba huyu mume ni miongoni mwa waongo.
Men hustrun undgår straffet om hon fyra gånger avlägger ed vid Gud att mannen ljuger,
Kadının; kocasının yalan söylediğine dair dört defa Allah’ı şahit tutması kadından cezayı kaldırır.
اور اس عورت سے سزا اس طرح دور ہوسکتی ہے کہ وه چار مرتبہ اللہ کی قسم کھا کر کہے کہ یقیناً اس کا مرد جھوٹ بولنے والوں میں سے 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.

As for those who accuse their own spouses, but have no witnesses except themselves, the testimony of one of them is equivalent to four testimonies, if he swears by God that he is truthful.
As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves; let the testimony of one of them be four testimonies, (swearing) by Allah that he is of those who speak the truth
And those who cast (imputation) on their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, then the testimony of one of them shall be to testify four times that, by God, he is of those who speak the truth
And they who shall accuse their wives, and have no witnesses but themselves, the testimony of each of them shall be a testimony by God four times repeated, that he is indeed of them that speak the truth
They who shall accuse their wives of adultery, and shall have no witnesses thereof besides themselves; the testimony which shall be required of one of them shall be, that he swear four times by God that he speaketh the truth

and the fifth testimony shall be that the curse of God shall be on him if he be of those who lie
And the fifth time that the malison of God be upon him, if he be of them that lie
And the fifth time that he imprecate the curse of God on him, if he be a liar

Were it not for God's grace upon you, and His mercy, and that God is Conciliatory and Wise.
And had it not been for the grace of Allah and His mercy unto you, and that Allah is Clement, Wise, (ye had been undone)
And were it not for God's grace upon you and His mercy, and that God is relenting, wise

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 — 0.51 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.
