Kujto Lutin, kur i tha popullit të vet: "Ju bëni fëlliqësi që nuk ka bërë askush në botë para jush?
আর স্মরণ করো লূত- এর কথা, যখন সে তার জাতির লোকদেরকে বলেছিলো: ‘নিশ্চয় তোমরা এমন অশ্লীল (সমকামিতা) কাজ করো, যা সৃষ্টিকুলের কেউ তোমাদের আগে করেনি।’
I sjeti se Luta. Kada narodu svome reče: “Vi činite takav razvrat kakav prije vas niko od svih svjetova nije činio,
I sjeti se Lota. Kada narodu svome reče: “Vi činite takav razvrat kakav prije vas nitko od svih svjetova nije činio,
(Jaŋto) kadi luutu, nde o maakannoo yimɓe makko ɓen : " E on aray e paŋkare, ɗe gooto e winndere nden adaaki on e mun?
და [გაიხსენე] [ო, მუჰამმედ] [მოციქული] ლუტი. აი, მან უთხრა თავის ხალხს: «ჭეშმარიტად, თქვენ სჩადიხართ სიბილწეს [მამათმავლობას], რომელიც თქვენზე უწინ არავის უქნია თქვენამდე სამყაროთა შორის».
Und (gedenke) Luts, als er zu seinem Volk sagte: „Wahrlich, ihr begeht ja das Abscheuliche, wie es vor euch niemand von den Weltenbewohnern getan hat.
Και (ανάφερε, ω, Μωχάμμαντ) τον Λωτ, όταν είπε στον λαό του: «Διαπράττετε μία τέτοια επαίσχυντη πράξη (την ομοφυλοφιλία) που κανείς από όλους τους ανθρώπους δεν την έχει διαπράξει πριν από σας!
तथा लूत को (याद करो) जब उसने अपनी जाति से कहा : तुम तो वह निर्लज्जता का कार्य करते हो, जो तुमसे पहले दुनिया वालों में से किसी ने नहीं किया।
E Lūt, quando disse alla sua gente: «In verità praticate la nefandezza, e in questo non vi ha preceduto nessuno nei Mondi.
28. Ir (atminkite) Lūtą (Lotą), kai jis sakė savo žmonėms: „Jūs darote Al-Fahiša (sodomiją – blogiausią nuodėmę), kurios niekas anksčiau jūsų (nedarė) iš Alamyn (žmonijos ir džinų).
Luuxiinis yeroo inni ummata isaatiin “isin gocha fokkataa kan aalama hunda irraa ummanni tokkollee isin dura hin hojjatin raawwattu” jedheen (erginee jirra).
И [помяни] Лута, когда он сказал своему народу: «Воистину, вы творите мерзость, которой до вас не совершал никто из миров!
И спомени Лота. Када народу своме рече: „Ви чините такав разврат какав пре вас нико од свих светова није чинио:
Na pale Luti alipowaambia watu wake, "Hakika nyinyi mnafanya uchafu, ambao hapana mmoja katika walimwengu aliyewatangulia kwa hayo.
Och minns Lot när han sa till sitt folk: ”Det ni gör är verkligen en skamfull handling som ingen i världen gjort före er.
Lût’u da peygamber olarak gönderdik. Hani o, kavmine şöyle demişti: “Gerçekten siz, sizden önce dünyada hiçbir toplumun yapmadığı bir hayâsızlığı işliyorsunuz.”
اور حضرت لوط (علیہ السلام) کا بھی ذکر کرو جب کہ انہوں نے اپنی قوم سے فرمایا کہ تم تو اس بدکاری پر اتر آئے[1] ہو جسے تم سے پہلے دنیا بھر میں سے کسی نے نہیں کیا.
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.

You approach men, and cut off the way, and commit lewdness in your gatherings." But the only response from his people was to say, "Bring upon us God's punishment, if you are truthful."
For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings? But the answer of his folk was only that they said: Bring Allah's doom upon us if thou art a truthteller
What! do ye approach men? and stop folks on the highway? and approach in your assembly sin?' but the answer of his people was only to say, 'Bring us God's torment, if thou art of those who speak the truth
Proceed ye even to men? attack ye them on the highway? and proceed ye to the crime in your assemblies?" But the only answer of his people was to say, "Bring God's chastisement upon us, if thou art a man of truth
Do ye approach lustfully unto men, and lay wait in the highways, and commit wickedness in your assembly? And the answer of his people was no other than that they said, bring down the vengeance of God upon us, if thou speakest truth

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 — 0.67 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.
