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.
But the only response of his people was to say, "Expel the family of Lot from your town. They are purist people."

Përgjigjja e vetme që i dha populli i tij ishte: "Dëboni familjen e Lutit nga qyteti juaj, sepse ata janë njerëz që e mbajnë veten të pastër!"
তখন তার জাতির একমাত্র জবাব এই ছিল যে, ‘লূতের পরিবারকে তোমাদের জনপদ থেকে বের করে দাও। নিশ্চয় এরা এমন লোক, যারা (নাপাক ও অশ্লীল কাজ থেকে) পবিত্র থাকতে চায়।’
A odgovor naroda njegova glasio je: “Istjerajte Lutovu porodicu iz grada vašeg, oni su ljudi – čistunci!"
A odgovor naroda njegova glasio je: “Istjerajte Lotovu porodicu iz grada vašeg, oni su ljudi-čistunci!”
Jaabawol yimɓe makko ɓen ngonaano si wonaa ko ɓe mbi'i : "Yaltinee yimɓe Luutu ɓen ka hoɗo (wura) mooɗon ; kamɓe ko ɓe yimɓe laɓɓintintooɓe".
და სხვა არაფერი ყოფილა მისი ხალხის პასუხი, გარდა იმისა რომ თქვეს: «გააძევეთ ლუტის ოჯახი [შუამავალი ლუტი და მორწმუნეები] თქვენი დასახლებიდან. რადგან ისინი არიან ადამიანები, რომლებიც სიწმინდეს იცავენ (არ კავდებიან მამათმავლობით)».
Doch die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, dass sie sagten: „Vertreibt die Sippe Luts aus eurer Ortschaft! Das sind ja Menschen, die sich rein halten.“
Αλλά η απάντηση του λαού του δεν ήταν παρά ότι είπαν: «Διώξτε την οικογένεια του Λωτ από την πόλη σας, γιατί είναι άνθρωποι που (απέχουν από την ομοφυλοφιλία και) διατηρούν τους εαυτούς τους αγνούς!»
तो उसकी जाति के लोगों का उत्तर इसके सिवा कुछ न था कि उन्होंने कहा : लूत के घरवालों को अपनी बस्ती से निकाल दो। निःसंदेह ये ऐसे लोग हैं जो बड़े पाक-साफ़ बनते हैं।
Ma la risposta del suo popolo non fu altro che: «Esiliate la famiglia di Lūt dal vostro paese: in verità sono gente che aspira alla purezza!»
56. Nebuvo jokio kito atsakymo, duoto jo žmonių, išskyrus tai, kad jie sakė: „Išvarykite Lūto (Loto) šeimą iš savo miesto. Iš tiesų, tai žmonės, kurie nori būti švarūs ir tyri.“
Deebiin ummata isaas hintaane jechuu malee “Maatii Luux magaalaa keessan irraa baasaa, isaan namoota qulqulleeffatanii”[7]
И ответом его народа было лишь то, что они сказали: «Изгоните семейство Лута из своего селения! Воистину, они — люди, которые держатся чистоты!»
А одговор његовог народа само је гласио: „Истерајте Лотову породицу из вашег града, они су, заиста, људи чистунци!“
Basi haikuwa jawabu ya kaumu yake isipokuwa ni walisema, "Wafukuzeni wafwasi wa Luti kutoka katika mji wenu. Hakika wao ni watu wanaojitia usafi."
Hans folks enda svar var: ”Driv ut dem ur ert samhälle – de är människor som vill hålla sig rena!”
Kavminin cevabı, ancak şöyle demek oldu: "Lût ailesini memleketinizden çıkarın. Çünkü onlar pek temiz kalan insanlardır."
قوم کا جواب بجز اس کہنے کے اور کچھ نہ تھا کہ آل لوط کو اپنے شہر سے شہر بدر کر دو، یہ تو بڑے پاک باز بن رہے ہیں.[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.

What! come ye with lust unto men rather than to women? Surely ye are an ignorant people

So We saved him and his family, except for his wife, whom We destined to be among the laggards.
Then We saved him and his household save his wife; We destined her to be of those who stayed behind
But we saved him and his family except his wife, her we destined to be of those who lingered
So we rescued him and his family: but as for his wife, we decreed her to be of them that lingered
Wherefore We delivered him and his family, except his wife, whom We decreed to be one of those who remained behind to be destroyed

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.
