Ti u thoshe besimtarëve: "A nuk ju mjafton që Zoti juaj t'ju ndihmojë me tre mijë melekë të dërguar?"
স্মরণ কর, যখন তুমি মুমিনদেরকে বলছিলে: ‘তোমাদের জন্য কি যথেষ্ট নয় যে, তোমাদের রব তোমাদেরকে তিন হাজার নাযিলকৃত ফিরিশতা দ্বারা সাহায্য করবেন?(৬৮)
Kada ti reče vjernicima: "Zar vam nije dovoljno da vas Gospodar vaš pomogne sa tri hiljade poslanih meleka?"

(გაიხსენე, ო მოციქულო) როგორ უთხარი მორწმუნეებს: «ნუთუ არ გყოფნით ის, რომ თქვენი უფალი გეხმარებათ სამი ათასი ანგელოზით, რომლებიც ზეციდან ჩამოდიან (დედამიწაზე)?»
Als du zu den Gläubigen sagtest: „Genügt es euch denn nicht, dass euch euer Herr mit dreitausend herabgesandten Engeln unterstützt?“
Και (θυμήσου, ω, Μωχάμμαντ) όταν είπες στους πιστούς (κατά τη μάχη του Μπαντρ αφού άκουσαν ότι έρχονται και άλλοι υποστηρικτές των ειδωλολατρών): «Δεν θα σας αρκεί να σας υποστηρίξει ο Κύριός σας στέλνοντας κάτω τρεις χιλιάδες αγγέλους;»

Yeroo ati mu’uminootaan jettu (yaadadhu). “sila Gooftaan keessan maleeykota kuma sadii (samii irraa) buufamoota ta'aniin isin gargaaruun isinii hin gayuu?”
И вот ты говорил верующим: «Разве вам недостаточно, что ваш Господь поддержит вас тремя тысячами ниспосланных ангелов?»
Када си ти рекао верницима: „Зар вам није довољно да вас ваш Господар помогне са три хиљаде послатих анђела?“
Ulipowaambia Waumini: Je, haiwatoshi kwamba Mola wenu Mlezi awasaidie kwa Malaika elfu tatu walioteremshwa?
Minns när du sa till de troende: ”Är det inte nog för er att er Herre låter tretusen änglar stiga ned för att ge er understöd?”
Hani sen Müminlere: “Rabbinizin, indirilmiş üç bin melek ile yardım etmesi size yetmez mi?” diyordun.
(اور یہ شکر گزاری باعﺚ نصرت وامداد ہو) جب آپ مومنوں کو تسلی دے رہے تھے، کیا آسمان سے تین ہزار فرشتے اتار کر اللہ تعالیٰ کا تمہاری مدد کرنا تمہیں کافی نہ ہوگا.
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
When two groups among you almost faltered, but God was their Protector. So in God let the believers put their trust.
When two parties of you almost fell away, and Allah was their Protecting Friend. In Allah let believers put their trust
when two companies of you were on the point of showing cowardice; but God was their guardian, for on God surely the believers do rely
When two troops of you became full of anxious thoughts, and lost heart, and when God became the protector of both! In God, then, let the faithful trust
when two companies of you were anxiously thoughtful, so that ye became faint-hearted; but God was the supporter of them both; and in God let the faithful trust

God had given you victory at Badr, when you were weak. So fear God, that you may be thankful.
Allah had already given you the victory at Badr, when ye were contemptible. So observe your duty to Allah in order that ye may be thankful
Why! God gave you victory at Bedr when ye were in a poor way; fear God, then, haply ye may give thanks
God had already succoured you at Bedr, when ye were the weaker! Fear God, then, that ye may be thankful
And God had already given you the victory at Bedr, when ye were inferior in number; therefore fear God, that ye may be thankful

It is; but if you persevere and remain cautious, and they attack you suddenly, your Lord will reinforce you with five thousand angels, well trained.
Nay, but if ye persevere, and keep from evil, and (the enemy) attack you suddenly, your Lord will help you with five thousand angels sweeping on
Yea, if ye are patient and fear God, and they come upon you on a sudden, now, your Lord will assist you with five thousand of His angels, (angels) of mark
Aye: but ye if be steadfast and fear God, and the foe come upon you in hot haste, your Lord will help you with five thousand angels in their cognisances

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 — 0.42 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.
