That is only Satan frightening his partisans; so do not fear them, but fear Me, if you are believers.

Në të vërtetë, shejtani është ai që ju frikëson përmes miqve të vet, por ju mos kini frikë nga ata, por kini frikë nga Unë, nëse jeni besimtarë!
সে তো শয়তান। সে তোমাদেরকে তার বন্ধুদের ভয় দেখায়। কাজেই তোমরা তাদেরকে ভয় করো না, আমাকেই ভয় করো; যদি তোমরা মু’মিন হও।
To vas samo šejtan plaši pristalicama svojim, pa ih se ne bojte, nego se Mene bojte, ako ste vjernici!

ეს (ვინც ცდილობს, დაგაბრკოლოთ და შეგაკავოთ ამისგან) მხოლოდ ეშმაკია, რომელიც გაშინებთ თავისი მომხრეებით. მაგრამ ნუ გეშინიათ მათი [მრავალღმერთიანების] (რადგან ისინი სუსტნი არიან და არ ჰყავთ დამხმარე), არამედ გეშინოდეთ ჩემი — თუ თქვენ მორწმუნეები ხართ.
Dies ist fürwahr nur der Satan, der (euch) mit seinen Gefolgsleuten Furcht einflößen möchte. So fürchtet nicht sie, sondern fürchtet Mich, wenn ihr gläubig seid!
Δεν είναι παρά μόνο ο Σατανάς που (προσπαθεί να) σας τρομάξει μέσω των βοηθών του. Έτσι, μην τους φοβάστε, αλλά Εμένα μόνο να φοβάστε, αν είστε πράγματι πιστοί.
वह तो शैतान है, जो तुम्हें अपने सहयोगियों से डरा रहा है। अतः तुम उनसे[99] न डरो और केवल मुझसे डरो, यदि तुम ईमान वाले हो।
In verità quello è Satana, che incute timore tramite i suoi alleati, ma non temeteli e temete Me, se siete credenti.
175. Tai tik Šaitan (Šėtonas), kuris siūlo jums bijoti jo Aulija [rėmėjų ir draugų (daugiadievių, netikinčiųjų Allaho Vienumą ir jo Pasiuntinį Muchammedą ﷺ )]. Taigi nebijokite jų, bet bijokite Manęs, jei esate (tikri) tikintieji.
Inni sun (namtichi isin sodaachise sun) sheyxaana; jaalalloo isaa (isin) sodaachisaa, isaan hin sodaatinaatii anuma sodaadhaa yoo mu’umintoota taatan.
Воистину, это шайтан запугивает вас своими сторонниками, так не бойтесь же их, а бойтесь Меня, если вы являетесь верующими.
То вас само ђаво плаши својим присталицама, па их се не бојте, него се бојте Мене, ако сте верници!
Hakika, huyo ni Shetani tu anawatia hofu marafiki zake. Basi msiwaogope. Bali niogopeni Mimi ikiwa nyinyi ni Waumini.
Det där är endast Satan som försöker skrämma er genom sina anhängare. Så frukta dem inte, utan frukta mig, om ni verkligen är troende!
O Şeytan sizi ancak kendi dostlarıyla korkutur. Onlardan korkmayın, eğer Mümin iseniz, sadece benden korkun.
یہ خبر دینے واﻻ صرف شیطان ہی ہے جو اپنے دوستوں سے ڈراتا ہے[1] تم ان کافروں سے نہ ڈرو اور میرا خوف رکھو، اگر تم مومن ہو.[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.

Those to whom the people have said, "The people have mobilized against you, so fear them." But this only increased them in faith, and they said, "God is enough for us; He is the Excellent Protector."
Those unto whom men said: Lo! the people have gathered against you, therefor fear them. (The threat of danger) but increased the faith of them and they cried: Allah is Sufficient for us! Most Excellent is He in Whom we trust
To whom when men said, 'Verily, men have gathered round you, fear then them,' it only increased their faith, and they said, 'God is enough for us, a good guardian is He
Who, when men said to them, "Now are the Meccans mustering against you; therefore fear them!" it only increased their faith, and they said, "Our sufficiency is God, and He is an excellent protector
unto whom certain men said, verily the men of Mecca have already gathered forces against you, be ye therefore afraid of them: But this increased their faith, and they said, God is our support, and the most excellent patron

The translators word this verse differently
So they came back with grace from God, and bounty, and no harm having touched them. They pursued what pleases God. God possesses immense grace.
So they returned with grace and favour from Allah, and no harm touched them. They followed the good pleasure of Allah, and Allah is of Infinite Bounty
Then they retired in favour from God and grace; no evil touched them; they followed the pleasure of God, and God is Lord of mighty grace
They returned, therefore, with the favour of God, enriched by Him, and untouched by harm; and they followed what was well pleasing to God. And God is of great Munificence
Wherefore they returned with favour from God, and advantage; no evil befell them: And they followed what was well pleasing unto God; for God is endowed with great liberality

The translators word this verse differently
And do not be saddened by those who rush into disbelief. They will not harm God in the least. God desires to give them no share in the Hereafter. A terrible torment awaits them.
Let not their conduct grieve thee, who run easily to disbelief, for lo! they injure Allah not at all. It is Allah's Will to assign them no portion in the Hereafter, and theirs will be an awful doom
Let them not grieve thee who vie with each other in misbelief. Verily, they cannot hurt God at all. God wills not to make for them a portion in the future life; but for them is mighty woe
Let not those who vie in haste after infidelity grieve thee: Verily not one whit shall they injure God! God will refuse them all part in the life to come: a severe chastisement shall be their lot
They shall not grieve thee, who emulously hasten unto infidelity; for they shall never hurt God at all. God will not give them a part in the next life, and they shall suffer a great punishment
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ٱشْتَرَوُا۟ ٱلْكُفْرَ بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ لَن يَضُرُّوا۟ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًٔا وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

The translators word this verse differently
Those who exchange blasphemy for faith will not harm God in the least. A painful torment awaits them.
Those who purchase disbelief at the price of faith harm Allah not at all, but theirs will be a painful doom
Verily, those who purchase misbelief for faith, they do not hurt God at all, and for them is grievous woe
They truly who purchase infidelity at the price of their faith, shall not injure God one whit! and a grievous chastisement shall be their lot
Surely those who purchase infidelity with faith, shall by no means hurt God at all, but they shall suffer a grievous punishment

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 — 0.56 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.
