And those who say, "Our Lord, grant us delight in our spouses and our children, and make us a good example for the righteous."

Ata thonë: "Zoti ynë, na dhuro bashkëshorte e pasardhës që janë gëzim për sytë tanë dhe na bëj shembull për të devotshmit."
আর যারা বলে: ‘হে আমাদের রব! আপনি আমাদেরকে এমন স্ত্রী ও সন্তানাদি দান করুন, যারা (তাকওয়া ও সত্যের ওপর অটল থাকার কারণে) আমাদের চক্ষু শীতল করবে। আর আপনি আমাদেরকে মুত্তাকীদের নেতা বানিয়ে দিন।’

და ისინი, რომლებიც ამბობენ: «უფალო ჩვენო! გვიბოძე ჩვენი მეუღლეებისა და შთამომავლობისგან თვალთა სიხარული და გვაქციე ღვთისმოშიშთათვის წინამძღოლებად [მისაბაძ მაგალითად]!»
Und (sie sind) diejenigen, die sagen: „Unser Herr, schenke uns an unseren Gattinnen und unseren Nachkommenschaften eine Augenweide (also ein Grund zur Freude), und mache uns für die Rechtschaffenen zu einem (vorbildlichen) Führer.“
Και οι οποίοι (ενάρετοι) λένε: «Κύριέ μας! Χάρισε μας από τους συζύγους μας και τα παιδιά μας, αυτό που να είναι πηγή χαράς των ματιών μας (όταν τους βλέπουμε να Σε υπακούν και να Σε λατρεύουν), και κάνε εμάς να είμαστε ένα καλό παράδειγμα για τους ευσεβείς (που φυλάσσονται από την τιμωρία Σου, τηρώντας τις εντολές Σου).»
तथा जो कहते हैं : ऐ हमारे पालनहार! हमें हमारी पत्नियों तथा संतानों से आँखों की ठंडक प्रदान कर और हमें परहेज़गारों का 'इमाम' बना दे।
E quelli che dicono: «Dio nostro, fa delle nostre mogli e dei nostri figli la gioia dei nostri occhi e fa di noi guide per i devoti»:

Na wale wanaosema: "Mola wetu Mlezi! Tupe katika wake zetu na wana wetu yaburudishayo macho, na utujalie tuwe waongozi kwa wacha Mungu."
Och de säger: ”Herre! Låt våra makar och barn bli en källa till glädje för oss, och gör oss till föredömen för de gudfruktiga.”
Onlar: “Ey Rabbimiz! Eşlerimizi ve çocuklarımızı bize göz aydınlığı kıl ve bizi Allah’a karşı gelmekten sakınanlara önder eyle!” diyenlerdir.
اور یہ دعا کرتے ہیں کہ اے ہمارے پروردگار! تو ہمیں ہماری بیویوں اور اوﻻد سے آنکھوں کی ٹھنڈک عطا فرما [1] اور ہمیں پرہیزگاروں کا پیشوا بنا.[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.

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 — 0.64 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.
