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.
And those who do not bear false witness; and when they come across indecencies, they pass by with dignity.

Ata nuk marrin pjesë në gënjeshtra dhe, kur kalojnë pranë së kotës, kalojnë me denjësi
আর যারা মিথ্যার সাক্ষ্য হয় না(১৭) এবং যখন তারা অনর্থক কথা-কর্মের পাশ দিয়ে চলে তখন (তা পরিহার করে) সসম্মানে চলে যায়।
I oni koji ne svjedoče lažno i koji, prolazeći pored onog što ih se ne tiče, prolaze dostojanstveno,
i oni koji ne svjedoče lažno i koji, prolazeći pored onog što ih se ne tiče, prolaze dostojanstveno;
E ɓeen ɓe seeditotaako penaale ɗen si ɓe rewii ka rayrayti ɗin [wowletee] ɓe feƴƴay ko tedduɓe
და ისინი, რომლებიც არ ესწრებიან სიცრუეს [სადაც სიცრუეს ამბობენ], ხოლო როდესაც ფუჭს [ფუჭ ლაპარაკსა და უსარგებლო საქმეებს] შეხვდებიან, ღირსეულად ჩაუვლიან.
Und (sie sind auch) diejenigen, die keine Falschaussage bezeugen und, wenn sie im Vorbeigehen unbedachte Rede (hören), würdevoll weitergehen.
Και οι οποίοι (ενάρετοι) δεν παρευρίσκονται όπου λέγεται το ψέμα (η πλάνη, τα τραγούδια και οι γιορτές των ειδωλολατρών, ούτε δίνουν ψευδή μαρτυρία), και όταν περνάνε και ακούνε μάταια λόγια (ή βλέπουν μία μάταιη πράξη, ή πλάνη), περνάνε χωρίς να εμπλέκονται σ' αυτά.
तथा जो झूठ में भाग नहीं लेते और जब व्यर्थ के काम के पास से गुज़रते हैं, तो सज्जन बनकर गुज़र जाते हैं।
E quelli che non testimoniano il falso e che, se passano davanti ai vaniloqui, passano con dignità.

(gabrooni Rabbii) isaan ragaa cubbuu hin baaneefi yeroo tapha bira qaxxaamuran kabajaadhaan qaxxaamuraniidha. [7]
И те, которые не присутствуют при ложном, а когда проходят мимо пустословия — проходят с достоинством.
И они који не сведоче лажно и који, пролазећи поред оног што их се не тиче, пролазе достојанствено.
Na wale ambao hawatoi ushahidi wa uongo, na pindi wapitapo penye upuuzi, hupita kwa heshima yao.
[Den Nåderikes tjänare är även] de som inte vittnar falskt, och när de möter meningslöst prat går de därifrån med värdighet.
Onlar yalancı şahitlik etmezler ve yararsız bir şeye rastladıklarında onurlu bir şekilde (yüz çevirip) geçerler.
اور جو لوگ جھوٹی گواہی نہیں دیتے[1] اور جب کسی لغو چیز پر ان کا گزر ہوتا ہے تو شرافت سے گزر جاتے ہیں.[2]
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

Except for those who repent, and believe, and do good deeds. These-God will replace their bad deeds with good deeds. God is ever Forgiving and Merciful.
Save him who repenteth and believeth and doth righteous work; as for such, Allah will change their evil deeds to good deeds. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
Save he who turns again and believes and does a righteous work; for, as to those, God will change their evil deeds to good, for God is ever forgiving, merciful
Save those who shall repent and believe and do righteous works - for them God will change their evil things into good things, for God is Gracious, Merciful

The translators word this verse differently
Whoever repents and acts righteously-has inclined towards God with repentance.
And whosoever repenteth and doeth good, he verily repenteth toward Allah with true repentance
And he who turns again and does right, verily, he turns again to God repentant
And whose turneth to God and doeth what is right, he verily will convert with a true conversion
And whoever repenteth, and doth that which is right; verily he turneth unto God with an acceptable conversion

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 — 0.59 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.
