Kujto kur gruaja e Imranit tha: "Zoti im! Unë jam zotuar të ta kushtoj vetëm Ty atë që është në barkun tim, kështu që pranoje prej meje! Ti je me të vërtetë Gjithëdëgjuesi, i Gjithëdijshmi."
তুমি স্মরণ কর, যখন ইমরানের স্ত্রী বলেছিল: ‘হে আমার রব, আমার গর্ভে যা আছে, নিশ্চয় আমি তা একান্তভাবেই আপনার জন্য মানত করলাম। অতএব, আপনি আমার পক্ষ থেকে তা কবুল করুন। নিশ্চয় আপনি শ্রবণকারী, সর্বজ্ঞ।’

(შეახსენე ხალხს, ო, მოციქულო), როცა (ერთხელ) თქვა 'იმრანის ცოლმა (მარიამის დედამ): «უფალო ჩემო! ჭეშმარიტად, მე აღთქმა დაგიდე, რომ ის, რაც ჩემს საშვილოსნოშია, იქნება შენთვის გათავისუფლებული (მხოლოდ შენს მსახურებას მიძღვნილი)». (მას ეგონა, რომ ვაჟი შეეძინებოდა და აღთქმა დადო, რომ მას მთლიანად უფლის მსახურებას მიუძღვნიდა.) «მაშ, მიიღე ჩემგან (ეს აღთქმა), რადგან ჭეშმარიტად, შენ ხარ ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნე».
Als die Frau 'Imrans sagte: „Mein Herr, ich habe für Dich, was in meinem Mutterleib ist, als Gelübde abgelegt und für Deinen Dienst freigestellt. So nimm (es) von mir an! Du bist fürwahr der Allhörende und Allwissende.
(Ανάφερε, ω, Μωχάμμαντ), όταν η σύζυγος του ‘Ιμράν (η Χάννα, η κόρη του Φακούδ, που ήταν στείρα και επικαλέστηκε τον Αλλάχ γι' αυτό, έμαθε ότι έμεινε έγκυος) είπε: «Κύριέ μου, στ’ αλήθεια έκανα τάμα, αυτό (το μωρό) που είναι στη μήτρα μου, να είναι αφιερωμένο σ' Εσένα και απαλλαγμένο (από τα πάντα ώστε να υπηρετήσει μόνο τον Οίκο Σου, και να Σε λατρεύει), αποδέξου (το), λοιπόν, από μένα. Στ’ αλήθεια, Εσύ είσαι ο Ασ-Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).»
जब इमरान की पत्नी[16] ने कहा : ऐ मेरे पालनहार! निःसंदेह मैंने तेरे[17] लिए उसकी मन्नत मानी है, जो मेरे पेट में है कि आज़ाद छोड़ा हुआ होगा। सो मुझसे स्वीकार कर। निःसंदेह तू ही सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
Quando la moglie di ‘Imrān disse: «Mio Dio, ho votato completamente a Te ciò che è nel mio ventre, e accettalo da me, in verità Tu sei l’Ascoltatore, il Sapiente!»
35. (Atminkite) kai Imrano žmona sakė: „Mano Viešpatie, Aš prisiekiau Tau tuo, (vaiku) kas yra mano gimdoje atsiduoti tarnystei Tau (atsiskirti nuo visų žemiškųjų reikalų; rūpintis Tavo garbinimo Vieta), taigi priimk tai iš manęs. Iš tiesų, Tu esi Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.“
Yeroo niitiin Imraan jette (yaadadhu) “Gooftaa kiyya! ani waan garaa kiyya keessa jiru (ilmoo ulfaa) bilisa godhee siif nazareeraa narraa qeebali Ati simatu dhagayaa, beekaadha.” [9]
Вот жена ‘Имрана сказала: «Господь мой! Воистину, я дала обет Тебе — тому, что в моей утробе, быть освобождённым [для служения Тебе], так прими же от меня. Воистину, Ты — Слышащий, Знающий».
Када Јоакимова жена рече: „Господару мој, ово што је у стомаку мом ја заиста заветујем Теби на службу, па прими то од мене, Ти си, заиста, Свечујући и Свезнајући.“
Aliposema mke wa Imran: Mola wangu Mlezi! Hakika mimi, nimekuwekea nadhiri kilicho katika tumbo langu la uzazi awe mtumishi wako, basi nikubalie. Hakika, Wewe ndiye Mwenye kusikia, Mwenye kujua.
Och när ʿImrāns hustru sa: ”Herre! Jag har avlagt ett löfte inför dig att det som finns i min mage ska vara helt ägnat åt dig, så ta emot det från mig. Du är sannerligen den som hör allt, vet allt.”
Hani İmran’ın karısı: "Rabbim karnımda olanı sadece sana hizmet etmek üzere adadım, benden bunu kabul buyur. Şüphesiz sen, hakkıyla işitensin, hakkıyla bilensin." demişti.
جب عمران کی بیوی نے کہا کہ اے میرے رب! میرے پیٹ میں جو کچھ ہے، اسے میں نے تیرے نام آزاد کرنے[1] کی نذر مانی، تو میری طرف سے قبول فرما! یقیناً تو خوب سننے واﻻ اور پوری طرح جاننے واﻻ ہے۔
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.

And when she brought it forth she said, 'Verily, I have brought it forth a female' - but God knew best what she brought forth; and a male is not like a female - 'I have called her Mary, and I seek a refuge in Thee for her and for her seed from Satan the pelted

Her Lord accepted her with a gracious reception, and brought her a beautiful upbringing, and entrusted her to the care of Zechariah. Whenever Zechariah entered upon her in the sanctuary, he found her with provision. He said, "O Mary, where did you get this from?" She said, "It is from God; God provides to whom He wills without reckoning."
And her Lord accepted her with full acceptance and vouchsafed to her a goodly growth; and made Zachariah her guardian. Whenever Zachariah went into the sanctuary where she was, he found that she had food. He said: O Mary! Whence cometh unto thee this (food)? She answered: It is from Allah. Allah giveth without stint to whom He will
And her Lord received her with a good reception, and made her grow up with a good growth, and Zachariah took care of her. Whenever Zachariah entered the chamber to her he found beside her a provision, and said, 'O Mary, how hast thou this?' She said, 'It is from God, for God provides for whom He pleases without count
So with goodly acceptance did her Lord accept her, and with goodly growth did he make her grow. Zacharias reared her. So oft as Zacharias went in to Mary at the sanctuary, he found her supplied with food. "Oh, Mary!" said he, "whence hast thou this?" She said, "It is from God; for God supplieth whom He will, without reckoning
Therefore the Lord accepted her with a gracious acceptance, and caused her to bear an excellent offspring. And Zacharias took care of the child; whenever Zacharias went into the chamber to her, he found provisions with her: And he said, O Mary, whence hadst thou this? She answered, this is from God: For God provideth for whom he pleaseth without measure

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 — 0.61 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.
