He said, "Yet Lot is in it." They said, "We are well aware of who is in it. We will save him, and his family, except for his wife, who will remain behind."

Ai tha: "Por Luti është atje." Ata i thanë: "Ne e dimë më mirë se kush është atje. Ne, pa dyshim, do ta shpëtojmë atë dhe familjen e tij, përveç gruas së tij; ajo është nga ata që do të mbesin pas (e do të dënohen)."
ইবরাহীম বললো: ‘নিশ্চয় সেখানে লূত আছে।’ ফিরিশতাগণ বললো: ‘আমরা ভালো করেই জানি সেখানে কারা আছে। আমরা অবশ্যই তাকে ও তার পরিবারকে (ধ্বংস থেকে) রক্ষা করবো; তবে তার স্ত্রীকে নয়, সে হবে পিছনে পড়ে থাকা লোকদের একজন।’
Ibrahim reče: “U njemu je Lut!” “Mi dobro znamo ko je u njemu”, rekoše oni, “mi ćemo njega i porodicu njegovu sigurno spasiti, osim žene njegove, ona će ostati s onima koji će kaznu iskusiti.”
Abraham reče: “U njemu je Lot!” “Mi dobro znamo tko je u njemu,” rekoše oni, “mi ćemo njega i porodicu njegovu sigurno spasiti, osim žene njegove, ona će ostati s onima koji će kaznu iskusiti.”
O maaki: "Kono Luutu no ton!" Ɓe mbi'i: "Ko minen ɓuri anndude fii won'ɓe ton. Ko ma men daɗndu mo, kaŋko e yimɓe makko ɓen, si wonaa debbo makko on, o jeyaama e helketeeɓe ɓeen".
[იბრაჰიმმა] თქვა: «ჭეშმარიტად მასში [ამ სოფელში] არის ლუტი». [ანგელოზებმა] თქვეს:« ჩვენ უკეთ ვიცით, ვინც მასშია. ჩვენ უეჭველად გადავარჩენთ მას და მის ოჯახს, გარდა მისი ცოლისა, და იგი დარჩენილთა [დაღუპულთა] შორის აღმოჩნდა».
Er sagte: „Aber Lut befindet sich doch in ihr.“ Sie sagten: „Wir wissen sehr wohl, wer sich in ihr befindet. Wir werden ihn ganz gewiss erretten, (ihn) und seine Angehörigen, außer seiner Frau; sie gehört zu den Zurückgebliebenen.“
(Ο Αβραάμ) είπε: «Ο Λωτ είναι εκεί!» (Οι Άγγελοι) είπαν: «Ξέρουμε καλύτερα ποιος είναι εκεί. Πράγματι, θα σώσουμε αυτόν και την οικογένειά του (διατάζοντάς τον να φύγει με την οικογένειά του το βράδυ από την πόλη), εκτός από τη γυναίκα του, η οποία θα μείνει μ' εκείνους που θα μείνουν πίσω (στην καταστροφή).»
उसने कहा : उसमें तो लूत है। उन्होंने कहा : हम उसे अधिक जानने वाले हैं, जो उसमें है। निश्चय हम उसे और उसके घर वालों को अवश्य बचा लेंगे, सिवाय उसकी पत्नी के। वह पीछे रहने वालों में से है।
Disse: «In verità in quel luogo c’è Lūt!» Dissero: «Noi sappiamo bene chi c’è. Lo salveremo con la sua famiglia, tranne sua moglie: lei resterà tra i condannati».
32. Ibrahimas (Abraomas) tarė: „Tačiau jame yra Lūtas (Lotas).“ Jis tarė: „Mes geriau žinome, kas jame yra. Mes tikrai išgelbėsime jį [Lūtą (Lotą)] ir jo šeimą, išskyrus jo žmoną – ji bus iš tų, kurie lieka užnugaryje (t. y. ji bus sunaikinta kartu su tais, kurie bus sunaikinti iš jos tautos).“
(Ibraahiimis) “Luux ishee keessa jira” jedhe. (Maleykonnis) “nuti nama ishee keessa jiru beekna; dhugumatti, isaafi maatii isaa ni baraarsina jaartii isaa malee isheen warra hafan keessatti taate ” jedhan.
Он сказал: «Воистину, там же Лут!» Они сказали: «Мы лучше знаем, кто там. Мы непременно спасём его и его семью, кроме его жены, которая будет среди остающихся».
„У њему је Лот“, рече Аврам. „Ми добро знамо ко је у њему“, рекоше они, „ми ћемо да спасимо њега и његову породицу, осим његове жене. Она ће да остане са онима који ће да искусе казну.“
Akasema, "Hakika humo yumo Luti." Wao wakasema, "Sisi tunajua zaidi ni nani yumo humo. Hapana shaka tutamwokoa yeye na ahali zake, isipokuwa mkewe aliye miongoni mwa watakaokaa nyuma."
”Men Lot är ju där!” utbrast han. De svarade: ”Vi vet mycket väl vilka som är där. Vi kommer att rädda honom och hans familj, utom hans hustru; hon ska bli kvar.”
“Ama orada Lût da var” dedi. “Biz orada olanları daha iyi biliriz. Biz onu ve –karısı dışında- aile halkını elbette kurtaracağız çünkü o kadın geride kalacaklardandır” dediler.
(حضرت ابراہیم علیہ السلام نے) کہا اس میں تو لوط (علیہ السلام) ہیں، فرشتوں نے کہا یہاں جو ہیں ہم انہیں بخوبی جانتے ہیں[1] ۔ لوط (علیہ السلام) کو اور اس کے خاندان کو سوائے اس کی بیوی کے ہم بچالیں گے، البتہ وه عورت پیچھے ره جانے والوں میں سے ہے.[2]
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.

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 — 0.57 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.
