We sent Noah to his people, and He stayed among them for a thousand years minus fifty years. Then the Deluge swept them; for they were wrongdoers.

Ne e dërguam Nuhun te populli i tij. Ai qëndroi në mesin e tyre një mijë vjet, pa pesëdhjetë, por ata i përfshiu përmbytja, duke qenë zullumqarë.
আর আমি অবশ্যই নূহকে তার জাতির নিকট প্রেরণ করেছিলাম। সে তাদের মধ্যে পঞ্চাশ কম এক হাজার (৯৫০) বছর অবস্থান করেছিলো। অতঃপর ( কুফরীর কারণে) মহা-প্লাবন তাদেরকে গ্রাস করলো, এমতাবস্থায় যে, তারা ছিলো যালিম।
Mi smo Nuha narodu njegovu poslali i on je među njima ostao hiljadu manje pedeset godina, pa ih je potom zadesio potop, a bili su nepravedni.
Mi smo Nou narodu njegovu poslali i on je među njima ostao tisuću manje pedeset godina, pa ih je potom zadesio potop, a bili su nepravedni.

და აი, ჩვენ უკვე გავგზავნეთ ნუჰი [შუამავლად] მის ხალხთან, და მან გაატარა მათ შორის ათასი წელი ორმოცდაათის გამოკლებით. და წარღვნა დაატყდათ თავს, და ისინი უსამართლონი იყვნენ.
Und Wir sandten ja bereits Nuh zu seinem Volk. So verweilte er unter ihnen tausend Jahre weniger fünfzig Jahre. Da ergriff sie die Überschwemmung, während sie Ungerechte waren.
Πράγματι, στείλαμε τον Νώε στον λαό του, και έμεινε ανάμεσά τους χίλια χρόνια μείον πενήντα χρόνια. Και τους έπληξε ο Κατακλυσμός, ενώ ήταν άδικοι.
और निःसंदेह हमने[8] नूह़ को उसकी जाति की ओर भेजा, तो वह उनके बीच पचास वर्ष कम हज़ार वर्ष[9] रहा। फिर उन्हें तूफ़ान ने पकड़ लिया इस स्थिति में कि वे अत्याचारी थे।
Ed abbiamo inviato Nūħ al Suo popolo, che rimase con loro mille annate meno cinquanta anni. E furono colpiti dal Diluvio per essere stati ingiusti.
14. Ir iš tiesų Mes siuntėme Nūhą (Nojų) jo žmonėms, ir jis praleido tarp jų tūkstantį metų atėmus penkiasdešimt metų [kviesdamas juos patikėti Allaho Vienumą (monoteizmą) ir atsisakyti netikrų dievų ir kitų dievybių]. Ir Pasaulio tvanas apėmė juos kai jie buvo Zalimūn (bloga darantieji, daugiadieviai, netikintieji).

Действительно, Мы послали Нуха к его народу, и он пробыл среди них тысячу лет без пятидесяти годов, и их постиг потоп, тогда как они были несправедливы.
Ми смо Ноја послали његовом народу и он је међу њима остао хиљаду, мање педесет година, па их је потом задесио потоп, зато што су незнанобошци били.
Na hakika tulimtuma Nuhu kwa watu wake, na akakaa nao miaka elfu kasoro miaka hamsini. Basi tufani ikawachukua, nao ni madhalimu.
Vi sände Noa till hans folk och han levde bland dem i tusen år minus femtio. Sedan dränktes de av floden för sin orättfärdighet.
Andolsun biz, Nûh’u kendi kavmine peygamber olarak gönderdik. O da dokuz yüz elli yıl onların arasında kaldı. Neticede onlar zulümlerini sürdürürlerken tûfan kendilerini yakalayıverdi.
اور ہم نے نوح (علیہ السلام) کو ان کی قوم کی طرف بھیجا وه ان میں ساڑھے نو سو سال تک رہے[1] ، پھر تو انہیں طوفان نے دھر پکڑا اور وه تھے بھی ﻇالم.
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.

Those who disbelieve say to those who believe, "Follow our way, and we will carry your sins." In no way can they carry any of their sins. They are liars.
Those who disbelieve say unto those who believe: Follow our way (of religion) and we verily will bear your sins (for you). They cannot bear aught of their sins. Lo! they verily are liars
And those who misbelieved said to those who believed, 'Follow our path, we will bear your sins;' but they could not bear their sins at all; verily, they are liars
The unbelievers say to the faithful, "Follow ye our way, and we will surely bear your sins." But not aught of their sins will they bear - verily they are liars
The unbelievers say unto those who believe, follow our way; and we will bear your sins. Howbeit they shall not bear any part of their sins; for they are liars

They will carry their own loads, and other loads with their own. And they will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning what they used to fabricate.
But they verily will bear their own loads and other loads beside their own, and they verily will be questioned on the Day of Resurrection concerning that which they invented
But they shall surely bear their own burdens, and burdens with their burdens; and they shall surely be asked upon the resurrection day concerning what they did devise
But their own burdens, and burdens beside their own burdens shall they surely bear: and inquisition shall be made of them on the day of Resurrection as to their false devices
But they shall surely bear their own burdens, and other burdens besides their own burdens; and they shall be examined, on the day of resurrection, concerning that which they have falsely devised

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 — 0.54 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.
