Those who disbelieved in God's signs and His encounter-these have despaired of My mercy. For them is a painful torment.

Ata që mohojnë ajetet e Allahut dhe takimin me Të, të tillët kanë humbur shpresën në mëshirën Time dhe për ta do të ketë dënim të dhembshëm.
আর যারা আল্লাহর আয়াতসমূহ ও (কিয়ামত দিবসে) তাঁর সাক্ষাৎ অস্বীকার করে, তারাই আমার রহমত থেকে হতাশ হবে এবং তাদের জন্যই রয়েছে (জাহান্নামের) যন্ত্রণাদায়ক শাস্তি।
A oni koji ne vjeruju u Allahove ajete i znakove i u susret s Njim – to su oni koji su izgubili nadu u Moju milost i to su oni kojima pripada patnja bolna.

Und diejenigen, die die Zeichen Allahs und die Begegnung mit Ihm verleugnen, jene haben die Hoffnung auf Meine Barmherzigkeit aufgegeben, und für jene wird es schmerzhafte Strafe geben.
Όσο γι' αυτούς που αρνήθηκαν την πίστη στα Σημάδια (και τα Εδάφια) του Αλλάχ και στη συνάντησή Του (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως), είναι εκείνοι που δε θα έχουν (την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως) καμία ελπίδα για το έλεός Μου (ή για τον Παράδεισό Μου), και εκείνοι θα έχουν ένα οδυνηρό μαρτύριο.
तथा जिन लोगों ने अल्लाह की आयतों और उससे मिलने का इनकार किया, वे मेरी दया से निराश हो गए हैं और वही लोग हैं जिनके लिए दर्दनाक यातना है।
E quelli che hanno negato i Segni di Allāh e il Suo incontro, quelli disperavano della Mia pietà, e quelli avranno una punizione dolorosa.
23. O tie, kurie netikėjo Allaho Ajat (įrodymais, įkalčiais, eilutėmis, pamokomis, ženklais, apreiškimais ir t. t.) ir Susitikimą su Juo, tai tie, kurie neturi vilties dėl Mano Gailestingumo ir tai jie, kurie turės skausmingą kančią.

А те, которые отвергли знамения Аллаха и встречу с Ним — они отчаялись в Моей милости, и таким — мучительное наказание.
А они који не верују у Аллахове речи и доказе и у сусрет са Њим, њима није стало до Моје милости – њих чека патња несносна.
Na wale waliozikanusha Ishara za Mwenyezi Mungu na kukutana naye, hao ndio waliokata tamaa na rehema yangu, na hao ndio wana adhabu chungu.
De som förnekar Guds budskap och mötet med honom kan aldrig förvänta sig min nåd, och dem väntar ett plågsamt straff.
Allah’ın ayetlerine ve O’na kavuşmaya (iman etmeyip) kâfir olanlar var ya; işte onlar benim rahmetimden ümit kesmişlerdir. İşte onlar için elem dolu bir azap vardır.
جو لوگ اللہ تعالیٰ کی آیتوں اور اس کی ملاقات کو بھلاتے ہیں وه میری رحمت سے ناامید ہو جائیں[1] اور ان کے لیے دردناک عذاب ہے.
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 cannot escape, on earth or in the heaven; and you have no protector and no savior besides God.
Ye cannot escape (from Him) in the earth or in the sky, and beside Allah there is for you no friend or helper
Nor can ye make Him helpless in the earth, nor in the heavens; nor have ye beside God a patron or a helper
And ye shall not invalidate his power either in the Earth or in the Heaven: and, save God, ye shall have neither patron nor helper
And ye shall not escape his reach, either in earth, or in heaven; neither shall ye have any patron or defender besides God
29:23 — the verse above

But the only response from his people was their saying, "Kill him, or burn him." But God saved him from the fire. Surely in that are signs for people who believe.

And he said, "You have chosen idols instead of God, out of affection for one another in the worldly life. But then, on the Day of Resurrection, you will disown one another, and curse one another. Your destiny is Hell, and you will have no saviors."
He said: Ye have chosen only idols instead of Allah. The love between you is only in the life of the world. Then on the Day of Resurrection ye will deny each other and curse each other, and your abode will be the Fire, and ye will have no helpers
He said, 'Verily, ye take beside God idols, through mutual friendship in the life of this world; then on the day of judgment ye shall deny each other, and shall curse each other, and your resort shall be the fire, and ye shall have none to help

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.
