E në Medjen Ne dërguam vëllanë e tyre, Shuajbin. Ai u tha: "O populli im, adhuroni Allahun, shpresoni në Ditën e Fundit dhe mos bëni çrregullime në Tokë!"
আর আমি মাদইয়ানে পাঠিয়েছিলাম তাদের ভাই শু‘আইবকে। অতঃপর সে বললো: ‘হে আমার জাতি, তোমরা আল্লাহর ইবাদাত করো, (তাঁর ইবাদাতের মাধ্যমে) শেষ দিবসের প্রতিদানের আশা করো এবং জমিনে ফ্যাসাদ সৃষ্টি করে বেড়িও না।
A u Medjen poslasmo brata njihova Šuajba: “O narode moj”, govorio je on, “Allahu ibadet činite, i Posljednjem danu se nadajte, i ne činite zlo po Zemlji nered praveći!”
A u Medjen poslasmo brata njihova Šuajba: “O narode moj,” govorio je on, “Allaha obožavajte, i Posljednjem danu se nadajte, i ne činite zlo po Zemlji nered praveći!”
(Min nuli) kadi e Madyana, musiɗɗo maɓɓe on, Shu'aybu. O maaki: "Ko onon yo yimɓe am, ndewee Alla, jortoron Ñalannde sakkitiinde nden, wota woniri e leydi ndin, bonnooɓe".
და მადიანელებს [ჩვენ მივუგზავნეთ] მათი ძმა შუ'აიბი. [მოციქულმა შუ'აიბმა] უთხრა: «ო, ჩემო ხალხო! თაყვანი ეცით ალლაჰს, და გქონდეთ იმედი უკანასკნელი დღის [რომ მასში მიიღებთ ჯილდოს თქვენი თაყვანისცემისთვის], და ნუ ივლით მიწაზე, არეულობის თესვით».
Und zu Madyan (sandten Wir) ihren Bruder Schu'ayb. Da sagte er: „O mein Volk, dient Allah und hofft auf den Jüngsten Tag und richtet auf der Erde nicht unheilstiftend Verderben an.“
Και στους κατοίκους της Μαδιάμ στείλαμε τον αδελφό τους, Σου‘άιμπ. Είπε: «Ω, λαέ μου! Να λατρεύετε τον Αλλάχ, να επιδιώκετε την ανταμοιβή της Έσχατης Ημέρας (μέσω της λατρείας προς Αυτόν), και να μη σκορπίζετε το κακό στη γη.»
तथा मदयन की ओर उनके भाई शुऐब को (भेजा), तो उसने कहा : ऐ मेरी जाति के लोगो! अल्लाह की इबादत करो तथा आख़िरत के दिन[15] की आशा रखो और धरती में बिगाड़ पैदा करने वाले बनकर उपद्रव न मचाओ।
E ai Medyeniti abbiamo inviato il fratello Shu’ayb, che disse: «O popolo mio, adorate Allāh e aspettate l’Ultimo Giorno e non andate in terra da corruttori!»
36. O Madjano (Midian) (žmonėms) Mes siuntėme jų brolį Šuaibą. Jis sakė: „Mano žmonės, garbinkite Allahą (Vienintelį) ir tikėkitės (atlygio už gerus darbus, garbinant Allahą Vienintelį) paskutinę Dieną (t. y. Prikėlimo Dieną) ir nedarykite žemėje piktadarybių kaip Mufsidūn (tie, kurie darė sunkius nusikaltimus, engėjai, tironai, piktadarybių darytojai, ištvirkėliai).
Gara (ummata) Madyanis obboleessa isaanii Shu’aybiin (erginee jirra) Innis “Yaa ummata kiyya! Allaah qofa gabbaraa. Guyyaa Aakhiraas kajelaa. Balleessitoota taataniis badii dachii keessa hin tamsaasinaa” jedheen. [4]
И к Мадьяну — их брата Шу‘айба, и он сказал: «О народ мой! Поклоняйтесь Аллаху, надейтесь на Последний день и не чините зла на земле, творя беззаконие».
А у Меден посласмо њиховог брата Шуајба: „О мој народе“, говорио је он, „Аллаха обожавајте, и очекујте Судњи дан, и не чините зло по Земљи правећи неред!“
Na kwa Madyana tulimtuma ndugu yao Shuaibu, naye akasema, "Enyi watu wangu, muabuduni Mwenyezi Mungu na iogopeni Siku ya Akhera, wala msiende katika ardhi mkifanya uharibifu."
Till [stammen] Midjan sände vi deras broder, Shuʿayb. Han sa: ”Mitt folk! Dyrka Gud i hopp om [belöning] på den yttersta dagen och sprid inte ondska och fördärv på jorden!”
Medyen’e de kardeşleri Şuayb’ı peygamber olarak gönderdik. Şuayb: “Ey kavmim! Allah’a ibadet edin. Ahiret gününü ümit edin ve yeryüzünde bozgunculuk yaparak karışıklık çıkarmayın.” dedi.
اور مدین کی طرف[1] ہم نے ان کے بھائی شعیب (علیہ السلام) کو بھیجا انہوں نے کہا اے میری قوم کے لوگو! اللہ کی عبادت کرو قیامت کے دن کی توقع رکھو[2] اور زمین میں فساد نہ کرتے پھرو.[3]
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.

But they rejected him, so the tremor overtook them, and they were left motionless in their homes.
But they denied him, and the dreadful earthquake took them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling place
But they called him liar; and the convulsion seized them, and on the morrow they lay in their dwellings prone
But they treated him as an impostor: so an earthquake assailed them; and at morn they were found prostrate and dead in their dwellings
But they accused him of imposture; wherefore a storm from heaven assailed them, and in the morning they were found in their dwellings dead and prostrate

And Aad and Thamood. It has become clear to you from their dwellings. Satan embellished for them their deeds, barring them from the path, even though they could see.
And (the tribes of) A'ad and Thamud! (Their fate) is manifest unto you from their (ruined and deserted) dwellings. Satan made their deeds seem fair unto them and so debarred them from the Way, though they were keen observers
And 'Ad and Thamud - but it is plain to you from their habitations; for Satan made seemly to them their works, and turned them from the way, sagacious though they were
And we destroyed Ad and Themoud. Already is this made plain to you in the ruins of their dwellings. For Satan had made their own works fair seeming to them, and drew them from the right path, keen-sighted though they were
And We also destroyed the tribes of Ad, and Thamud; and this is well known unto you from what yet remains of their dwellings. And Satan prepared their works for them, and turned them aside from the way of truth; although they were sagacious people

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 — 0.60 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.
