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.
So do not obey the disbelievers, but strive against them with it, a mighty struggle.

Prandaj, ti mos iu bind jobesimtarëve, por luftoji ata nëpërmjet këtij (Kurani) me një përpjekje të madhe.
সুতরাং তুমি কাফিরদের আনুগত্য করো না এবং তুমি আল কুরআনের মাধ্যমে তাদের বিরুদ্ধে কঠোর সংগ্রাম চালিয়ে যাও।
zato ne čini nevjernicima ustupke i Kur’anom se svim silama protiv njih bori.
zato ne čini nevjernicima ustupke i Kuranom se svim silama protiv njih bori.
Wota a ɗofto yedduɓe ɓe haɓ e maɓɓe hare jihaadi mawnde.
და ნუ დაემორჩილები ურწმუნოებს [თუკი ისინი ცდილობენ, რომ თუნდაც მცირედ უგულებელყო ის, რითაც ალლაჰმა გამოგაგზავნა], და ებრძოლე მათ მისით [ყურანით] დიადი ბრძოლით!
So gehorche nicht den Ungläubigen und mühe dich damit gegen sie ab mit großer Aufwendung.
Έτσι, μην υπακούσεις (ω, Προφήτη) τους άπιστους (που ζητούν να κάνεις παραχωρήσεις στη θρησκεία), αλλά αγωνίσου μ' αυτό (το Κορ’άν) απέναντί τους (μεταδίδοντάς το) με τη μέγιστη προσπάθεια.
अतः आप काफ़िरों की बात न मानें और इस (क़ुरआन) के द्वारा उनसे बड़ा जिहाद[28] करें।
Non obbedire ai miscredenti e combattili con Esso (il Corano) fino allo stremo.
52. Taigi nepakluskite netikintiesiems, tačiau kovokite prieš juos (skelbdami Koraną) didžiausiomis pastangomis.
Kaafirootaaf hin ajajaminii isakanaan (Qur’aana kanaan) qabsoo guddaa isaan irratti qabsaa’i.
Так не повинуйся же отвергшим веру и усердствуй против них посредством него великим усердием!
Зато се не покоравај неверницима и Кур’аном се свим силама против њих бори.
Basi usiwatii makafiri. Na pambana nao kwayo kwa Jihadi kubwa.
Ge inte efter för de otrogna utan kämpa ståndaktigt mot dem med denna [Koran].
O halde kâfirlere itaat etme ve onlara karşı Kur’an’la büyük bir mücadele ver.
پس آپ کافروں کا کہنا نہ مانیں اور قرآن کے ذریعے ان سے پوری طاقت سے بڑا جہاد کریں.[1]
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
We have circulated it among them, that they may reflect, but most people persist in thanklessness.
And verily We have repeated it among them that they may remember, but most of mankind begrudge aught save ingratitude
We have turned it in various ways amongst them that they may remember; though most men refuse aught but to misbelieve
And we distribute it among them on all sides, that they may reflect: but most men refuse to be aught but thankless
and We distribute the same among them at various times, that they may consider: But the greater part of men refuse to consider, only out of ingratitude

And it is He who merged the two seas; this one fresh and sweet, and that one salty and bitter; and He placed between them a barrier, and an impassable boundary.
And He it is Who hath given independence to the two seas (though they meet); one palatable, sweet, and the other saltish, bitter; and hath set a bar and a forbidding ban between them
He it is who has let loose the two seas, this one sweet and fresh, that one bitter and pungent, and has made between them a rigorous prohibition
And He it is who hath let loose the two seas, the one sweet, fresh; and the other salt, bitter; and hath put an interspace between them, and a barrier that cannot be passed
It is He who hath let loose the two seas; this fresh and sweet, and that salt and bitter: And hath placed between them a bar, and a bound which cannot be passed

And it is He who, from fluid, created the human being. Then He made relationships through marriage and mating. Your Lord is Omnipotent.
And He it is Who hath created man from water, and hath appointed for him kindred by blood and kindred by marriage; for thy Lord is ever Powerful
And he it is who has created man from water, and has made for him blood relationship and marriage relationship; for thy Lord is mighty
And it is He who hath created man of water, and established between them the ties of kindred and affinity: and potent is thy Lord
It is He who hath created man of water; and hath made him to bear the double relation of consanguinity and affinity; for thy Lord is powerful

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 — 0.66 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.
