The translators word this verse differently
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.
And Korah and Pharaoh and Haman - Moses did come to them with manifest signs, but they were too big with pride in the earth, although they could not outstrip us

Shkatërruam edhe Karunin, Faraonin dhe Hamanin. Musai u erdhi atyre me prova të qarta, por ata u treguan mendjemëdhenj në Tokë, prandaj nuk mundën të shpëtonin (nga dënimi).
আর আমি কারূন, ফির‘আউন ও হামানকে (ধ্বংস করেছি)। অবশ্যই তাদের কাছে মূসা প্রমাণসহ এসেছিলো। অতঃপর তারা জমিনে অহংকার করেছিলো; এতৎসত্ত্বেও তারা আমার শাস্তি এড়াতে পারেনি।
I Karuna i faraona i Hamana; Musa im je jasne dokaze donio, ali su se oni na Zemlji oholo ponijeli i kaznu nisu izbjegli.
I Karuna i faraona i Hamana; Mojsije im je jasne dokaze donio, ali su se oni na Zemlji oholo ponijeli i kaznu nisu izbjegli.
(Min kalki) kadi Qaaruuna, e Fir'awna e Haamaana. Gooŋɗii le, Muusaa addanii ɓe ɓanngannduyeeji, kono ɓe toownitii ka leydi, ɓe wonaano laawotooɓe.
და [ასევე] [ჩვენ დავსაჯეთ ამქვეყნადვე] ყარუნი, ფარაონი და ჰამანი. და აი, მოვიდა მათთან [მოციქული] მუსა ნათელი სასწაულებით, ხოლო ისინი ამპარტავნობდნენ მიწაზე და ისინი არ იყვნენ გამსწრენი [ვერ შეძლეს ჩვენი სასჯელის თავიდან აცილება].
Und (vernichtet haben Wir auch) Qarun und Fir'aun und Haman. Und Musa kam ja bereits zu ihnen mit den klaren Beweisen. Da verhielten sie sich hochmütig auf der Erde (Ägyptens); doch konnten sie (Uns) nicht zuvorkommen.
Και (καταστρέψαμε επίσης) τον Καρούν, τον Φαραώ και τον Χαμάν. Ο Μωυσής ήρθε σ' εκείνους με ξεκάθαρα Σημάδια, αλλά έδειξαν αλαζονεία στη γη. Και δεν μπορούσαν να ξεφύγουν (από την τιμωρία Μας).
तथा क़ारून और फ़िरऔन और हामान को (विनष्ट किया) और निःसंदेह उनके पास मूसा खुली निशानियाँ लेकर आए, तो उन्होंने धरती में अभिमान किया और वे बच निकलने[16] वाले न थे।
E a Ǭārūn, al Faraone e Hamān: arrivò Mūsā con le Evidenze, ma si insuperbirono in terra, e non poterono sfuggire.
39. Ir (Mes taip pat sunaikinome) Karūną (Korah), Firauną (Faraoną) ir Hamaną. Ir iš tiesų Mūsa (Mozė) atėjo pas juos su aiškiais Ajat (įrodymais, įkalčiais, eilutėmis, pamokomis, ženklais, apreiškimais ir t. t.), tačiau jie buvo išpuikę žemėje, ir vis tiek jie nagalėjo aplenkti Mūsų (pabėgti nuo Mūsų bausmės).
Qaaruuniin, Fir’awnaafi Haamaaniinis (balleessineerra). Dhugumatti, Muusaan ragaa ifa ta’een isaanitti dhufeeti, dachii keessatti boonan. (isaan qabne) Kan Nu jalaa miliqan hin taane.
И [Мы погубили] Каруна, Фараона и Хамана. Действительно, Муса явился к ним с ясными знамениями, но они превознеслись на земле и не смогли опередить [наказание Аллаха].
И Каруна и фараона и Хамана; Мојсије им је донео јасне доказе, али су се они на Земљи охолили и нису могли да умакну казни,
Na pia Qaruni na Firauni na Hamana! Na Musa aliwajia kwa Ishara waziwazi, lakini walijivuna katika nchi, wala hawakuweza kushinda.
Även Qārūn, Farao och Hāmān [gick under]. Mose kom till dem med klara bevis, men de uppträdde med övermod på jorden och kunde inte undkomma [vårt straff].
Kârûn’u, Firavun’u ve Hâmân’ı da helâk ettik. Andolsun, Mûsâ kendilerine apaçık mucizeler getirmişti de yeryüzünde büyüklük taslamışlardı. Oysa bizi geçip (azabımızdan) kurtulamazlardı.
اور قارون اور فرعون اور ہامان کو بھی، ان کے پاس حضرت موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کھلے کھلے معجزے لے کر آئے تھے[1] پھر بھی انہوں نے زمین میں تکبر کیا لیکن ہم سے آگے بڑھنے والے نہ ہو سکے.[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.

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

The translators word this verse differently
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

Each We seized by his sin. Against some We sent a sandstorm. Some were struck by the Blast. Some We caused the ground to cave in beneath them. And some We drowned. It was not God who wronged them, but it was they who wronged their own selves.
So We took each one in his sin; of them was he on whom We sent a hurricane, and of them was he who was overtaken by the (Awful) Cry, and of them was he whom We caused the earth to swallow, and of them was he whom We drowned. It was not for Allah to wrong them, but they wronged themselves
And each of them we seized in his sin; and of them were some against whom we sent a sandstorm; and of them were some whom the noise seized; and of them were some with whom we cleaved the earth open; and of them were some we drowned: God would not have wronged them, but it was themselves they wronged
For, every one of them did we seize in his sin. Against some of them did we send a stone-charged wind: Some of them did the terrible cry of Gabriel surprise: for some of them we cleaved the earth; and some of them we drowned. And it was not God who would deal wrongly by them, but they wronged themselves
Every of them did We destroy in his sin. Against some of them We sent a violent wind: Some of them did a terrible noise from heaven destroy: Some of them did We cause the earth to swallow up: And some of them We drowned. Neither was God disposed to treat them unjustly; but they dealt unjustly with their own souls

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.65 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.
