Have they not seen how God originates the creation, and then reproduces it? This is easy for God.

A nuk e shohin ata se si e nis Allahu krijimin e më pas e përsërit atë? S'ka dyshim se kjo për Allahun është e lehtë.
তারা কি দেখে না, আল্লাহ কীভাবে সৃষ্টিকে প্রথমবার সৃষ্টি করেন, তারপর তিনি তা পুনরায় সৃষ্টি করবেন? নিশ্চয় এটি আল্লাহর জন্য সহজ।
Zar oni ne vide kako Allah započinje stvaranje?! On će to opet učiniti; Allahu je to, zaista, lahko.

E ɓee yiaani no Alla fuɗɗorta tagoore ngum, refti o ndttat ngu? Pellet, ɗum wonii ko newanii Alla.
ნუთუ მათ არ უნახავთ, როგორ ქმნის ალლაჰი ქმნილებას [პირველად] [არარსებობიდან], შემდეგ კი მას იმეორებს [მისი გაქრობის შემდეგ]? ჭეშმარიტად, ეს ალლაჰისთვის ადვილია!
Haben sie denn nicht gesehen, wie Allah die Schöpfung am Anfang macht und sie hierauf wiederholt? Wahrlich, dies ist für Allah ein Leichtes.
Δεν είδαν (εκείνοι που διαψεύδουν την ανάσταση) πώς ο Αλλάχ δημιουργεί τη δημιουργία από την αρχή (είτε από ύλη, είτα από ανυπαρξία) και έπειτα την επαναφέρει στη ζωή (μετά το θάνατο); [Όπως η νεκρή γη αναζωογονείται όταν πέφτει πάνω της νερό]. Πράγματι, αυτό για τον Αλλάχ είναι κάτι εύκολο.
क्या उन्होंने नहीं देखा कि अल्लाह किस प्रकार सृष्टि का आरंभ करता है, फिर उसे दोहराएगा? निश्चय ही यह अल्लाह के लिए अत्यंत सरल है।
Ma non vedono come Allāh origina il creato, poi lo replica? In verità quella è una cosa facile per Allāh.
19. Argi jie nemato, kaip Allahas duoda pradžią kūriniams, tada pakartoja tai. Iš tiesų, tai lengva Allahui.
Sila isaan akka Rabbiin uumuu eegalee ergasii isa deebisu hin ilaalanuu? Sun Allaah irratti laafaadha.
Неужели они не видят, как Аллах создаёт творение впервые, а затем воссоздаёт его ? Воистину, это для Аллаха легко.
Зар ови не виде како Аллах све из ничег ствара? Он ће то опет да учини; Аллаху је то, заиста, лако.
Je, wao hawaoni jinsi Mwenyezi Mungu anavyoanzisha uumbaji, na kisha akaurudisha tena. Hakika hayo kwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni mepesi.
Ser de inte hur Gud inleder skapelsen och sedan upprepar den? Detta är lätt för Gud.
Allah'ın yaratmayı nasıl başlattığını sonra onu yeniden nasıl gerçekleştirdiğini görmediler mi? Şüphesiz bu, Allah'a göre kolaydır.

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
You worship idols besides God, and you fabricate falsehoods. Those you worship, instead of God, cannot provide you with livelihood. So seek your livelihood from God, and worship Him, and thank Him. To Him you will be returned."
Ye serve instead of Allah only idols, and ye only invent a lie. Lo! those whom ye serve instead of Allah own no provision for you. So seek your provision from Allah, and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him, (for) unto Him ye will be brought back
Ye only serve beside God idols and do create a lie; verily, those whom ye serve beside God cannot control for themselves provision; then crave provision with God, and serve Him, and give thanks to Him; unto Him shall ye return
Ye only worship idols beside God, and are the authors of a lie. Those whom ye worship beside God can give you no supplies: seek, then, your supplies from God; and serve Him and give Him thanks. To Him shall ye return
Ye only worship idols besides God, and forge a lie. Verily those which ye worship, besides God, are not able to make any provision for you: Seek therefore your provision from God; and serve Him, and give thanks unto Him; unto Him shall ye return

The translators word this verse differently
If you disbelieve, communities before you have also disbelieved. The Messenger is only responsible for clear transmission.
But if ye deny, then nations have denied before you. The messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly
And if ye say it is a lie, nations before you called (the apostles) liars too; but an apostle has only his plain message to preach
Suppose that ye treat me as a liar! nations before you have treated God's messenger as a liar; but open preaching is his only duty
If ye charge me with imposture, verily sundry nations before you likewise charged their prophets with imposture: But public preaching only is incumbent on an apostle

Say, "Roam the earth, and observe how He originated the creation." Then God will bring about the next existence. God has power over all things."
Say (O Muhammad): Travel in the land and see how He originated creation, then Allah bringeth forth the later growth. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things
Say, 'Journey ye on in the land, and behold how the creation appeared; then God produces another production: verily, God is mighty over all
SAY, Go through the earth, and see how he hath brought forth created beings. Hereafter, with a second birth will God cause them to be born again; for God is Almighty

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.
