Ne i dhamë Musait Librin dhe bashkë me të caktuam vëllanë e tij, Harunin, ndihmës.
আর আমি তো মূসাকে কিতাব (তাওরাত) দিয়েছিলাম এবং তার সাথে তার ভাই হারূনকে (রাসূল করে) সাহায্যকারী বানিয়েছিলাম।
Mi smo Musau Knjigu dali i brata mu Haruna pomoćnikom učinili,
Mi smo Mojsiju Knjigu dali i brata mu Arona pomoćnikom učinili,
Gooŋɗii Min ngokkii Muusaa deftere nden, Min mbaɗi wond'ude e makko Musiɗɗo makko on Haaruuna ballo.
და [ვფიცავ, რომ] ჩვენ ვუბოძეთ მუსას წიგნი [თორა] და დავადგინეთ მასთან ერთად მისი ძმა ჰარუნი, [მის] დამხმარედ.
Und Wir gaben ja bereits Musa die Schrift und machten ihm seinen Bruder Harun zum Unterstützer.
Πράγματι, δώσαμε στον Μωυσή το Βιβλίο και κάναμε τον αδελφό του, τον Ααρών, να είναι μαζί του ως υποστηρικτής.
तथा निःसंदेह हमने मूसा को किताब दी और उसके साथ उसके भाई हारून को उसका सहायक बनाया।
E abbiamo rivelato a Mūsā il Libro e abbiamo stabilito suo fratello Hārūn come suo ministro.
35. Ir iš tiesų, Mes suteikėme Mūsai (Mozei) Raštą [Tauratą (Torą)] ir padarėme jo brolį Harūną (Aroną) su juo padėjėju.
Dhugumatti, Nuti Muusaaf kitaaba (Tawraatiin) kenninee, Obboleessa isaa Haaruun isa waliin gargaraa taasifnee jirra.
Действительно, Мы даровали Мусе Писание и сделали ему его брата Харуна помощником.
Ми смо Мојсију дали Књигу и његовог брата Арона му учинили помоћником,
Na hakika tulimpa Musa Kitabu na tukamuweka pamoja naye kakaye, Harun, kuwa msaidizi.
Vi gav Mose skriften och utsåg hans broder Aron att vara hans stöd.
Andolsun, biz, Mûsâ'ya ’ya Kitabı (Tevrat’ı) verdik ve kardeşi Harun’u da ona yardımcı kıldık.
اور بلاشبہ ہم نے موسیٰ کو کتاب دی اور ان کے ہمراه ان کے بھائی ہارون کو ان کا وزیر بنادیا.
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
Whatever argument they come to you with, We provide you with the truth, and a better exposition.
And they bring thee no similitude but We bring thee the Truth (as against it), and better (than their similitude) as argument
Nor shall they come to thee with a parable without our bringing thee the truth and the best interpretation
Nor shall they come to thee with puzzling questions, but we will come to thee with the truth, and their best solution
They shall not come unto thee with any strange question; but We will bring thee the truth in answer, and a most excellent interpretation

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

We said, "Go to the people who rejected Our signs," and We destroyed them completely.
Then We said: Go together unto the folk who have denied Our revelations. Then We destroyed them, a complete destruction

And we said, "Go ye to the people who treat our signs as lies." And them destroyed we with utter destruction
And We said unto them, go ye to the people who charge our signs with falsehood. And We destroyed them with a signal destruction

And the people of Noah: when they rejected the messengers, We drowned them, and made them a lesson for mankind. We have prepared for the wrongdoers a painful retribution.
And Noah's folk, when they denied the messengers, We drowned them and made of them a portent for mankind. We have prepared a painful doom for evil-doers
And the people of Noah, when they said the apostles were liars, we drowned them, and we made them a sign for men; and we prepared for the unjust a grievous woe
And as to the people of Noah! when they treated their Apostles as impostors, we drowned them; and we made them a sign to mankind: - A grievous chastisement have we prepared for the wicked
And remember the people of Noah, when they accused our apostles of imposture: We drowned them, and made them a sign unto mankind. And We have prepared for the unjust a painful torment

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 — 0.57 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.
