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.
That is because they said, "The Fire will not touch us except for a limited number of days." They have been misled in their religion by the lies they fabricated.

Kjo, sepse ata thoshin: "Ne nuk do të na prekë zjarri i Xhehenemit, përveçse disa ditë." Shpifjet që bënë i mashtruan ata për fenë e tyre.
এটা এ জন্যে যে, তারা বলে: ‘গুটি কয়েকদিন ব্যতীত জাহান্নামের আগুন আমাদেরকে কখনই স্পর্শ করবে না’। আর তারা যা মিথ্যা (বাতিল ও বানোয়াট) রচনা করত, তা তাদেরকে তাদের দীনের ব্যাপারে প্রতারিত করেছে।
To je zato što oni govore: "Vatra nas neće ni dodirnuti više od nekoliko dana!", i u njihovoj vjeri ih zavarava to što su izmišljali.

ეს (მათი გადახრა ჭეშმარიტებისგან) იმიტომაა, რომ ამბობდნენ: «ცეცხლი (ჯოჯოხეთი) არასოდეს შეგვეხება, გარდა დათვლილი რამდენიმე დღისა». და მოატყუა ისინი თავიანთ სარწმუნოებაში იმან, რასაც თავად იგონებდნენ.
Dies, da sie sagten: „Das (Höllen)feuer wird uns nur für eine bestimmte Anzahl von Tagen berühren.“ Und was sie (an Lügen) zu ersinnen pflegten, hat sie über ihre Religion getäuscht.
Αυτή (η απομάκρυνσή τους από την αλήθεια ήταν) επειδή είπαν: «Δεν θα μας αγγίξει το Πυρ (κατά την Έσχατη Ημέρα), παρά για λίγες μετρημένες μέρες (και έπειτα θα μπούμε στον Παράδεισο).» Και έτσι τους παραπλάνησαν στη θρησκεία τους, αυτά που επινόησαν από ψέματα.
उनका यह हाल इसलिए है कि उन्होंने कहा कि दोज़ख़ की आग हमें गिनती के कुछ दिन ही छुएगी! तथा उन्हें उनके धर्म (के बारे) में उन बातों ने धोखा दिया, जो वे गढ़ा करते थे।
Ciò perché dissero: «Il fuoco non ci toccherà se non per giorni contati!» E li hanno illusi, sulla loro fede, le loro bugie.
24. Taip yra todėl, kad jie sako: „Ugnis nepalies mūsų, išskyrus tam tikrą skaičių dienų.“ Ir tai, ką jie išgalvodavo apie savo tikėjimą, suklaidino juos.
Kun waan isaan “ibiddi guyyoota lakkaa’amtuu malee nu hin tuqxu” jedhaniifi. Kijibni isaan (of biraa) uumaa turan amantii isaanii keessatti isaan gowwoomse.
Это потому, что они сказали: «Адский огонь никогда не коснётся нас, кроме как на считанные дни!» И обольстило их в их религии то, что они измышляли.
То је зато што они говоре: „Ватра нас неће дотаћи више од неколико дана!“ - А лажи које измишљају у њиховом веровању обмањују их.
Hayo ni kwa sababu walisema: "Hautatugusa Moto isipokuwa kwa siku chache tu." Na yakawadanganya katika dini yao yale ambayo wenyewe walikuwa wakiyazua.
Detta därför att de säger: ”Elden ska endast drabba oss under ett begränsat antal dagar.” Deras falska föreställningar har förlett dem i deras religion.
Bu, (haktan yüz çeviriş) onların: "Sayılı günlerden başka bize, asla ateş dokunmayacak" demeleri yüzündendir. Ve uydura geldikleri yalanlar, dinlerinde kendilerini aldatmıştır.
اس کی وجہ ان کا یہ کہنا کہ ہمیں تو گنے چنے چند دن ہی آگ جلائے گی، ان کی گڑھی گڑھائی باتوں نے انہیں ان کے دین کے بارے میں دھوکے میں ڈال رکھا ہے۔[1]
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
Have you not considered those who were given a share of the Scripture, as they were called to the Scripture of God to arbitrate between them; then some of them turned back, and declined?
Hast thou not seen how those who have received a portion of the Scripture invoke the Scripture of Allah (in their disputes) that it may judge between them; then a faction of them turn away, being opposed (to it)
Did ye not see those who have been given a portion of the Book? they were called unto the Book of God to decide between them; and then a sect of them turned their backs and turned away
Hast thou not marked those who have received a portion of the Scriptures, when they are summoned to the Book of God, that it may settle their differences? Then did a part of them turn back, and withdrew far off
Hast thou not observed those unto whom part of the scripture was given? They were called unto the book of God, that it might judge between them; then some of them turned their backs, and retired afar off

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 — 0.52 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.
