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.
Your Lord creates whatever He wills, and He chooses. The choice is not theirs. Glory be to God, and exalted be He above the associations they make.

Zoti yt krijon dhe zgjedh çfarë të dojë, ndërsa atyre nuk u takon të zgjedhin. I patëmeta dhe i Lartësuar është Allahu mbi gjithçka që ia shoqërojnë Atij.
আর তোমার রব যা ইচ্ছা সৃষ্টি করেন এবং যাকে চান (তাঁর আনুগত্য ও নবুওয়্যাতের জন্য) মনোনীত করেন, (এ ব্যাপারে) তাদের কোন এখতিয়ার নাই। আল্লাহ পবিত্র মহান এবং তারা যা শরীক করে তিনি তা থেকে ঊর্ধ্বে।
Gospodar tvoj stvara šta hoće, i On odabire. Oni nemaju pravo birati. Hvaljen neka je Allah i vrlo visoko iznad onih koje s Njime izjednačuju!

Joomi maa no taga ko o muuyi, O suɓoo; suɓagol alanaa ɓe. Senaade woodanii Alla! O toowii e kon ko ɓe cirkata!
და შენი იფალი ქმნის, რასაც ინებებს და ირჩევს. მათ კი არჩევანი არ გააჩნიათ [მისი ნების საწინააღმდეგოდ], ქება დიდება ალლაჰს, წმინდაა ალლაჰი და უზენაესი იმაზე, რასაც თანაზიარად უდგენენ.
Und dein Herr erschafft, was Er will, und wählt (aus). Ihnen aber steht es nicht zu, zu wählen. Gepriesen sei Allah und erhaben (ist Er) über das, was sie (Ihm) beigesellen.
Ο Κύριός σου δημιουργεί ό,τι θέλει και επιλέγει (όποιον θέλει ως Αγγελιαφόρο). Δεν έχουν (οι ειδωλολάτρες) την επιλογή (να πουν: «Γιατί δε στάλθηκε αυτό το Κορ’άν σε έναν σπουδαίο άνδρα από τις δύο πόλεις -όπως στον Αλ-Ουαλείντ μπιν Αλ-Μουγείρα στη Μάκκα ή στον Χαμπίμπ Αθ-Θάκαφεϊ στην Ατ-Τά’ιφ-;»). Δόξα στον Αλλάχ, είναι πολύ Ανώτερος από ό,τι Του αποδίδουν (οι ειδωλολάτρες από εταίρους στη λατρεία)!
और आपका पालनहार जो चाहता है पैदा करता है और चुन लेता है, उनके लिए कभी भी अधिकार नहीं। अल्लाह पवित्र है तथा बहुत उच्च है, उससे जो वे साझी बनाते हैं।
E il tuo Dio crea ciò che vuole e sceglie, invece loro non hanno scelta: Gloria ad Allāh! Lui è molto al di sopra di ciò a cui Lo paragonano.
68. Ir jūsų Viešpats kuria ką Jis nori ir pasirenka ką Jis nori: neturi jie jokio pasirinkimo (niekame). Pašlovintas yra Allahas ir išaukštintas virš visko, ką jie priskiria (Jam partneriais).
Rabbiin kee waan fedhe uuma; ni filatas, Isaaniif filannoon hin jiru. Allaahn waan isaan itti dabalan irraa qulqullaa’ee ol ta’eera.
Твой Господь творит, что пожелает, и избирает. Не им выбирать! Пречист Аллах и превыше того, что они придают Ему в сотоварищи.
Твој Господар ствара шта хоће, и Он одабира. Они немају право да бирају. Узвишен нека је Аллах и врло високо изнад оних које поред Њега обожавају!
Na Mola wako Mlezi huumba na huteua atakavyo. Viumbe hawana hiari. Mwenyezi Mungu ametukuka na ametakasika na hao wanaowashirikisha naye.
Din Herre skapar vad han vill och utväljer [för sin särskilda välsignelse] den han vill; det har de inget att säga till om. Högt upphöjd är Gud, över vad de sätter vid hans sida!
Rabbin, dilediğini yaratır ve dilediğini de seçer. Onların ise seçme hakkı yoktur. Allah, onların ortak koştuklarından münezzeh ve yüksektedir/yücedir.
اور آپ کا رب جو چاہتا ہے پیدا کرتا ہے اور جسے چاہتا ہے چن لیتا ہے، ان میں سے کسی کو کوئی اختیار نہیں[1] ، اللہ ہی کے لیے پاکی ہے وه بلند تر ہے ہر اس چیز سے کہ لوگ شریک کرتے 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.

The translators word this verse differently
They will be blinded by the facts on that Day, and they will not question each other.
On that day (all) tidings will be dimmed for them, nor will they ask one of another
and the history shall be blindly confusing to them on that day, and they shall not ask each other
But on that day they shall be too blinded with confusion to give an account, nor shall they ask it of one another
But they shall not be able to give an account thereof on that day; neither shall they ask one another for information

The translators word this verse differently
But he who repents, and believes, and does righteous deeds, may well be among the winners.
But as for him who shall repent and believe and do right, he haply may be one of the successful
But, as for him who turns again and believes and does right, it may be that he will be among the prosperous
Yet as to him who shall turn to God and believe and do the thing that is right, it may come to pass that he shall be among the happy
Howbeit whoso shall repent and believe, and shall do that which is right, may expect to be happy

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 — 0.66 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.
