The heart of Moses' mother became vacant. She was about to disclose him, had We not steadied her heart, that she may remain a believer.

Ndërkohë, zemra e nënës së Musait u bë e zbrazët. Për pak do ta zbulonte atë, po të mos ia forconim zemrën, që të ishte prej besimtarëve.
আর মূসার মায়ের হৃদয় অস্থির হয়ে উঠেছিল। সে তো তার পরিচয় (শত্রুর কাছে) প্রকাশ করেই দিত; যদি আমি তার অন্তরকে দৃঢ় করে না দিতাম। যাতে সে (ধৈর্যশীল) মু’মিনদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হয়।
I srce Musaove majke ostade prazno, umalo ga razotkri da Mi srce njeno nismo učvrstili i vjernicom je učinili.

და მუსას დედის გული გახდა ცარიელი [აღარაფერზე ფიქრობდა ამ სამყაროში, გარდა თავისი შვილისა]. ლამის იყო გაემხილა ეს [რომ ეს მისი შვილი იყო], რომ არა ჩვენ მიერ მისი გულის განმტკიცება, რათა ყოფილიყო მორწმუნეთაგან.
Und das Herz der Mutter Musas wurde leer. Beinahe hätte sie ihn fürwahr offen bekanntgegeben, wenn Wir nicht ihr Herz gestärkt hätten, damit sie zu den Gläubigen gehöre.
Η καρδιά της μητέρας του Μωυσή έγινε άδεια (εκτός από τη σκέψη στον Μωυσή), και παραλίγο να αποκαλύψει το θέμα του (ότι είναι το παιδί της), αν δεν καθησυχάζαμε και σταθεροποιούσαμε την καρδιά της, για να γίνει από τους πιστούς.
और मूसा की माता का दिल (मूसा की याद के सिवा हर चीज़ से) खाली हो गया। निश्चय वह क़रीब थी कि उसे प्रकट कर देती, यदि हम उसके दिल को मज़बूत कर उसका ढारस न बँधा देते, ताकि वह ईमानवालों में से हो जाए।
E il cuore della madre di Mūsā era stato svuotato ed era sul punto di rivelare la sua preoccupazione, se non l’avessimo rincuorata, così che fosse tra i credenti.
10. O Mūsos (Mozės) motinos širdis ištuštėjo [nuo visų minčių, išskyrus nuo minties apie Mūsą (Mozę)]. Ji buvo beveik beatskleidžianti jo (atvejį, t. y. kad vaikas yra jos sūnus), jei Mes nebūtume sustiprinę jos širdies (Tikėjimu), kad ji išliktų viena iš tikinčiųjų.

Сердце матери Мусы опустело. Она едва не выдала его, если бы Мы не укрепили её сердце, чтобы она была из числа верующих.

Na (ufahamu wa) moyo wa mama yake Musa ukawa mtupu. Alikuwa karibu kumdhihirisha, ingelikuwa hatukumtia nguvu moyo wake ili awe miongoni mwa Waumini.
Moses mors hjärta upplevde en bottenlös tomhet. Hon var nära att avslöja [sanningen om honom] men vi stärkte hennes hjärta så att hon skulle kunna vara en sann troende.
Mûsâ’nın annesi kalbi bomboş olarak sabah etti. Eğer biz, (vaadimize) iman edenlerden olması için onun kalbini pekiştirmemiş olsaydık, neredeyse işi açığa vuracaktı.
موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کی والده کا دل بے قرار ہوگیا[1] ، قریب تھیں کہ اس واقعہ کو بالکل ﻇاہر کر دیتیں اگر ہم ان کے دل کو ڈھارس نہ دے دیتے یہ اس لیے کہ وه یقین کرنے والوں میں رہے.[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.

Pharaoh's household picked him up, to be an opponent and a sorrow for them. Pharaoh, Hamaan, and their troops were sinners.
And the family of Pharaoh took him up, that he might become for them an enemy and a sorrow, Lo! Pharaoh and Haman and their hosts were ever sinning

The translators word this verse differently
We forbade him breastfeeding at first. So she said, "Shall I tell you about a family that can raise him for you, and will look after him?"
And We had before forbidden foster-mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him
And we made unlawful for him the wet-nurses. And she said, 'Shall I guide you to the people of a house who will take care of him for you, and who will be sincere respecting him
And we caused him to refuse the nurses, until his sister came and said, Shall I point out to you the family of a house that will rear him for you, and will be careful of him
And We suffered him not to take the breasts of the nurses who were provided before his sister came up: And she said, shall I direct you unto some of his nation, who may nurse him for you, and will be careful of him

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.
