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.
It is they who will receive the grievous punishment-and in the Hereafter they will be the greatest losers.

Këta janë ata që do të kenë dënim të rëndë (në këtë botë), kurse në botën tjetër do të jenë më të humburit.
এরাই তারা, যাদের জন্য রয়েছে কঠিন শাস্তি; আর আখিরাতে তারাই হবে সবচেয়ে ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত।
njih čeka zla kob, a na onom svijetu će biti posve izgubljeni,
njih čeka zla kob, a na onom svijetu će biti posve izgubljeni,
Ko ɓeen ngoni ɓen, ɓe woodani ɗum Lepte bonɗe ɗen, kamɓe ka Laakara ko kamɓe ngoni hayruɓe ɓeen.
სწორედ მათთვისაა ამქვეყნად მძიმე სასჯელი, ხოლო ისინი უკანასკნელ ცხოვრებაში ყველაზე მეტად წაგებულნი იქნებიან.
Jene sind es, für die es böse Strafe geben wird, und im Jenseits sind sie die größten Verlierer.
Εκείνοι είναι αυτοί που θα έχουν μία τρομερή τιμωρία (στην εγκόσμια ζωή), και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή θα είναι οι πιο χαμένοι!
यही लोग हैं, जिनके लिए बुरी यातना है तथा आख़िरत में यही सबसे अधिक घाटा उठाने वाले हैं।
Quelli sono coloro ai quali è riservata la peggiore punizione, e nell’Aldilà saranno loro i perdenti.
5. Jie yra tie, kuriems bus bloga kančia (šiame pasaulyje). Ir Amžinybėje jie bus iš didžiausių pralaimėtojų.
Isaan sun warra (addunyaa keessatti) adabbiin hamaan isaaniif jiruudha. Isaan Aakhiraatti isaanumatu hoonga’oodha.
Такие — те, для кого уготовано ужасное наказание, и они в Последней жизни — потерпевшие наибольший убыток.
то су они којима припада жестока патња, а на Будућем свету они ће, заиста, да буду највећи губитници,
Hao ndio watapata adhabu mbaya kabisa, na hao katika Akhera ndiyo watapata hasara zaidi.
Ett fasansfullt straff väntar dem och i det kommande livet ska de vara de största förlorarna.
İşte en kötü azap onlarındır ve onlar ahirette de en çok hüsrana uğrayanlardır.
یہی لوگ ہیں جن کے لیے برا عذاب ہے اور آخرت میں بھی وه سخت نقصان یافتہ ہیں.
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.

As for those who do not believe in the Hereafter: We made their deeds appear good to them, so they wander aimlessly.
Lo! as for those who believe not in the Hereafter, We have made their works fairseeming unto them so that they are all astray
verily, those who believe not in the hereafter we have made seemly for them their works, and they shall wander blindly on
As to those who believe not in the life to come, we have made their own doings fair seeming to them, and they are bewildered therein
As to those who believe not in the life to come, We have prepared their works for them; and they shall be struck with astonishment at their disappointment, when they shall be raised again

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 — 0.67 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.
