An imp of the sprites said, "I will bring it to you before you rise from your seat. I am strong and reliable enough to do it."

Një i fuqishëm nga xhinët tha: "Unë ta sjell atë para se të ngrihesh nga vendi. Unë kam fuqi për këtë dhe jam i besueshëm."
এক শক্তিশালী জিন উত্তরে বললো: ‘আপনি আপনার স্থান থেকে উঠার পূর্বেই আমি তা এনে দিবো। আমি নিশ্চয়ই এই ব্যাপারে শক্তিমান, বিশ্বস্ত।’
“Ja ću ti ga donijeti”, reče Ifrit, jedan od džina, “prije nego sa svog mjesta ustaneš, ja sam za to, zaista, snažan i povjerljiv.”
“Ja ću ti ga donijeti”, reče Ifrit, jedan od džina, “prije nego sa svog mjesta ustaneš, ja sam za to, zaista, snažan i povjerljiv.”
Ngaari jinna ndin wi'i: "Min, mi addante nde ko adii a immaade e darnde maaɗa nden, e pellet, min e dow ɗum ko mi cemmbuɗo koolaaɗo".
უთხრა ერთერთმა 'იფრითმა ჯინთაგან: «მე მოგიტან [მის ტახტს], ვიდრე ადგილიდან წამოდგებოდე [შუამავალო, სულაიმან]. და ჭეშმარიტად, მე ამისთვის ძლიერი ვარ და სანდო».
Ein derber von den Jinn sagte: „Ich bringe ihn dir, bevor du dich von deiner Stelle erhebst. Und ich bin wahrlich stark (genug) dazu und vertrauenswürdig.“
Ένα ισχυρό τζινν είπε: «Θα σου το φέρω πριν σηκωθείς από τη θέση σου (δηλ. από το θρόνο σου, ή από το συμβούλιό σου όπου κάθεσαι να κρίνεις μεταξύ των ανθρώπων μέχρι το μεσημέρι), και είμαι δυνατός και αξιόπιστος να τον φέρω.»
जिन्नों में से एक शक्तिशाली शरारती कहने लगा : मैं उसे आपके पास ले आऊँगा, इससे पूर्व कि आप अपने स्थान से उठें और निःसंदेह मैं इसकी निश्चय पूरी शक्ति रखने वाला, अमानतदार हूँ।
Disse uno dei demoni: «Te lo porto io, prima che ti alzi dal tuo trono, e in verità ne sono pienamente capace e affidabile».
39. Ifrit (stiprusis) iš džinų tarė: „Aš atnešiu jį tau anskčiau nei tu pakilsi iš savo vietos (tarybos). Ir iš tiesų, aš esu tikrai stiprus, ir patikimas tokiam darbui.“
Jabaan Jinnoota irraa ta’e tokko ni jedhe: “Ani isaan sitti dhufa (siifin fida) odoo ati iddoo teessuma keetii irraa hin ka'in dura. Ani kana irratti cimaa amanamaadha.”
Ифрит[55] из числа джиннов сказал: «Я принесу тебе его, прежде чем ты встанешь со своего места. И, воистину, я для этого силен и надёжен».
„Ја ћу да ти га донесем“, рече Ифрит, један од духова, „пре него што са свог места устанеш, ја сам за то, заиста, снажан и поуздан.“
Akasema Afriti mmoja katika majini: Mimi nitakuletea kabla hujainuka pahala pako hapo. Na mimi kwa hakika katika hilo nina nguvu na muaminifu.
En mäktig jinn sa: ”Jag kan hämta den till dig innan du rest dig från din plats. Jag är stark nog och pålitlig för detta.”
Cinlerden bir ifrit; ”Sen yerinden kalkmadan ben onu sana getiririm ve şüphesiz ben, buna güç yetirecek güvenilir biriyim.” dedi.
ایک قوی ہیکل جن کہنے لگا آپ اپنی اس مجلس سے[1] اٹھیں اس سے پہلے ہی پہلے میں اسے آپ کے پاس ﻻدیتا[2] ہوں، یقین مانیے کہ میں اس پر قادر ہوں اور ہوں بھی امانت دار.[3]
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.

He who had knowledge from the Book said, "I will bring it to you before your glance returns to you." And when he saw it settled before him, he said, "This is from the grace of my Lord, to test me, whether I am grateful or ungrateful. He who is grateful, his gratitude is to his own credit; but he who is ungrateful-my Lord is Independent and Generous."
One with whom was knowledge of the Scripture said: I will bring it thee before thy gaze returneth unto thee. And when he saw it set in his presence, (Solomon) said: This is of the bounty of my Lord, that He may try me whether I give thanks or am ungrateful. Whosoever giveth thanks he only giveth thanks for (the good of) his own soul; and whosoever is ungrateful (is ungrateful only to his own soul's hurt). For lo! my Lord is Absolute in independence, Bountiful
He who had the knowledge of the Book said, 'I will bring it to thee before thy glance can turn.'

And one who had the knowledge of Scripture said, "I will bring it to thee in the twinkling of an eye." And when he saw it set before him, he said, "This is of the favour of my Lord, to try me whether I will be thankful or unthankful. And he who is thankful is thankful to his own behoof; and as for him who is unthankful - truly my Lord is self-sufficient, bounteous
And one with whom was the knowledge of the scriptures said, I will bring it unto thee, in the twinkling of an eye.

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 — 0.62 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.
