The translators word this verse differently
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.
Whatever argument they come to you with, We provide you with the truth, and a better exposition.

Sa herë që ata të sjellin ndonjë shembull, Ne ta sjellim të vërtetën dhe shpjegimin më të mirë.
আর তারা (মুশরিকরা) তোমার কাছে (যেকোনো সময়ে) যেকোনো বিষয় নিয়েই আসুক না কেন, আমি এর সঠিক সমাধান ও (তার চেয়ে) সুন্দর ব্যাখ্যা তোমার কাছে নিয়ে এসেছি।

Und sie bringen dir kein Beispiel, außer dass Wir dir die Wahrheit und eine bessere Erklärung brächten.
Δε θα παρουσιάσουν σε σένα ένα παράδειγμα (για να σε διαψεύσουν), εκτός να στείλουμε μετά σε σένα την αλήθεια (που θα τους απαντήσει), και την καλύτερη εξήγηση.
और (ऐ रसूल!) जब भी वे आपके पास कोई उदाहरण लाते हैं, तो हम आपके पास सत्य और उत्तम व्याख्या ले आते हैं।
E non ti porteranno un esempio che noi non ti abbiamo già portato, con la verità e migliore spiegazione.
33. Ir jokio pavyzdžio ar panašumo jie nepristato (kad pasipriešintų arba rastų tavyje ar šiame Korane kokią klaidą), tačiau Mes apreiškiame tau tiesą (prieš tokį panašumą ar pavyzdį) ir geresnį to paaiškinimą.

Они неће ниједан приговор да ти упуте, а да Ми нећемо одговор и најлепше објашњење да ти наведемо.
Wala hawatakuletea mfano wowote, isipokuwa na Sisi tutakuletea (jawabu) kwa haki, na tafsiri iliyo bora zaidi.

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.

Likewise, to every prophet We assign enemies from among the wicked. But your Lord suffices as a Guide and Savior.
Even so have We appointed unto every prophet an opponent from among the guilty; but Allah sufficeth for a Guide and Helper
Thus have we made for every prophet an enemy from among the sinners; but thy Lord is good guide and helper enough
Thus have we given to every Prophet an enemy from among the wicked ones - But thy Lord is a sufficient guide and helper
In like manner did We ordain unto every prophet an enemy from among the wicked: But thy Lord is a sufficient director, and defender

The translators word this verse differently
Those who disbelieve say, "Why was the Quran not revealed to him at once?" Thus in order to strengthen your heart thereby, and We revealed it in stages.
And those who disbelieve say: Why is the Qur'an not revealed unto him all at once? (It is revealed) thus that We may strengthen thy heart therewith; and We have arranged it in right order
Those who misbelieve said, 'Unless the Qur'an be sent down to him all at once...!' - thus - that we may stablish thy heart therewith, did we reveal it piecemeal
And the infidels say, "Unless the Koran be sent down to him all at once. . . ." But in this way would we stablish thy heart by it; in parcels have we parcelled it out to thee
The unbelievers say, unless the Koran be sent down unto him entire at once, we will not believe. But in this manner have We revealed it, that We might confirm thy heart thereby, and We have dictated it gradually, by distinct parcels
25:33 — the verse above
ٱلَّذِينَ يُحْشَرُونَ عَلَىٰ وُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَىٰ جَهَنَّمَ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا وَأَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا

Those who are herded into Hell on their faces-those are in a worse position, and further astray from the way.
Those who will be gathered on their faces unto hell: such are worse in plight and further from the right road
They who shall be gathered upon their faces to hell,- these are in the worst place, and err most from the path
They who shall be gathered upon their faces into hell, shall have the worst place, and be farthest from the path of happiness
They who shall be dragged on their faces into hell, shall be in the worst condition, and shall stray most widely from the way of salvation

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 — 0.69 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.
