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.
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.

অতঃপর ( তাওহীদের দাওয়াত দিলে) ইবরাহীমের জাতির জবাব শুধু এটাই ছিলো যে, তারা বললো: ‘ওকে তোমরা হত্যা করো অথবা জ্বালিয়ে দাও।’ অতঃপর আল্লাহ তাআলা আগুন থেকে তাকে রক্ষা করলেন। নিশ্চয় এই ঘটনার মধ্যে বহু নিদর্শন রয়েছে মু’মিন সম্প্রদায়ের জন্যে।

და მისი ხალხის [მოციქული იბრაჰიმის ხალხის] პასუხი მხოლოდ ის იყო, რომ თქვეს: «მოკალით იგი [იბრაჰიმი] ან დაწვით იგი!» და [როცა ცეცხლში ჩააგდეს], ალლაჰმა გადაარჩინა იგი ცეცხლიდან. ჭეშმარიტად, ამაშია სასწაულები მორწმუნე ადამიანებისთვის.
Aber die Antwort seines Volkes war nur, dass sie sagten: „Tötet ihn oder verbrennt ihn.“ Da (er)rettete Allah ihn aus dem Feuer. Wahrlich, darin sind ja Zeichen für Leute, die glauben.
Η απάντηση των ανθρώπων του (Αβραάμ στα λόγια του) δεν ήταν παρά ότι είπαν: «Σκοτώστε τον ή κάψτέ τον!» Αλλά ο Αλλάχ τον έσωσε από τη φωτιά (που άναψαν). Πράγματι, σ' αυτό υπάρχουν Σημάδια για τους ανθρώπους που πιστεύουν.
फिर उस (इबराहीम) की जाति का उत्तर बस यही था कि उन्होंने कहा कि इसे क़त्ल कर दो, या इसे जला दो। तो अल्लाह ने उसे आग से बचा लिया। निःसंदेह इसमें उन लोगों के लिए बहुत-सी निशानियाँ हैं जो ईमान रखते हैं।
E la risposta della sua gente non fu altro che: «Uccidetelo o bruciatelo!» Ma Allāh lo ha salvato dal Fuoco: in verità quelli furono Segni per la gente che crede.
24. Taigi niekas (kitas) nebuvo [Ibrahimo (Abraomo)] žmonių atsakymu išskyrus tai, kad jie sakė: „Nužudykite jį arba sudeginkite jį.“ Tada Allahas išgelbėjo jį nuo ugnies. Iš tiesų, tame yra tikrai ženklai žmonėms, kurie tiki.

И ответом его народа было лишь то, что они сказали: «Убейте его или сожгите!» Но Аллах спас его от огня. Воистину, в этом — знамения для народа, который верует.
Одговор његовог народа беше само то што рекоше: „Убијте га или га спалите!“ Али, Аллах га је избавио из ватре. У томе су, заиста, докази народу који верује.
Basi haikuwa jawabu ya watu wake isipokuwa walisema, "Muueni au mchomeni moto!" Kwa hivyo, Mwenyezi Mungu akamwokoa kutokana na moto huo. Hakika katika hayo zipo Ishara kwa watu wanaoamini.
Hans folks enda svar var: ”Döda honom eller bränn honom!” Men Gud räddade honom ur elden. I detta finns sannerligen en lärdom för folk som tror.
(İbrahim’in) kavminin cevabı, “Onu öldürün veya yakın!” demekten başka bir şey olmadı. Allah onu ateşten kurtardı. Muhakkak bunda iman eden bir topluluk için ayetler vardır.
ان کی قوم کا جواب بجز اس کے کچھ نہ تھا کہ کہنے لگے کہ اسے مار ڈالو یا اسے جلا دو[1] ۔ آخر اللہ نے انہیں آگ سے بچا لیا[2]، اس میں ایمان والے لوگوں کے لیے تو بہت سی نشانیاں 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
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

Those who disbelieved in God's signs and His encounter-these have despaired of My mercy. For them is a painful torment.
Those who disbelieve in the revelations of Allah and in (their) Meeting with Him, such have no hope of My mercy. For such there is a painful doom
And those who disbelieve in God's signs and in meeting with Him, these shall despair of my mercy; and these, for them is grievous woe
As for those who believe not in the signs of God, or that they shall ever meet him, these of my mercy shall despair, and these doth a grievous chastisement await

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 — 0.51 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.
