আর তিনিই সৃষ্টিকে প্রথমবার শুরু করেন, তারপর তিনি তা পুনরায় ফিরিয়ে আনেন; আর এটি তাঁর জন্য আরও সহজ। আর আকাশমণ্ডলী ও পৃথিবীতে সর্বোচ্চ উপমা (গুণাবলি) তাঁরই জন্য। আর তিনি পরাক্রমশালী, প্রজ্ঞাময়।
On je Taj Koji započinje stvaranje; stvara iz ničega i On će to ponovo učiniti, to je Njemu lahko; Njemu pripada primjer najuzvišeniji i na nebesima i na Zemlji; On je Silni i Mudri.

ის არის, ვინც იწყებს შექმნას, შემდეგ კი მას კვლავ აღადგენს. და ეს მისთვის [ალლაჰისთვის] კიდევ უფრო ადვილია. მას ეკუთვნის უმაღლესი აღწერა [სრულყოფილება] ცასა და მიწაზე. ის ყოვლისშემძლე, ყოვლადბრძენია.
Und Er ist es, Der die Schöpfung am Anfang macht und sie hierauf wiederholt; und das ist für Ihn noch leichter. Und Er hat die höchste Eigenschaft in den Himmeln und auf der Erde, und Er ist der Allmächtige und der Allweise.
Είναι Αυτός που δημιουργεί τη δημιουργία από την αρχή (είτε από ύλη, είτε από ανυπαρξία, και χωρίς κανένα προηγούμενο πρότυπο), και έπειτα την επαναφέρει (στη ζωή μετά τον θάνατό της), και αυτό είναι (ακόμα) ευκολότερο γι' Αυτόν. Σ' Αυτόν ανήκει η Ύψιστη Περιγραφή στους ουρανούς και στη γη. Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι ο Αλ-‘Αζείζ (Παντοδύναμος, Ανίκητος), ο Αλ-Χακείμ (Πάνσοφος).
तथा वही है, जो उत्पत्ति का आरंभ करता है। फिर वही उसे पुनः पैदा करेगा। और यह उसके लिए अधिक सरल है। तथा आकाशों और धरती में सर्वोच्च गुण उसी का है। और वही प्रभुत्वशाली, हिकमत वाला है।
E Lui è Colui che inizia la creazione, poi la ripete, e ciò è facile per lui. E a Lui appartiene il Sommo Esempio nei cieli e in terra, e Lui è il Potente, il Saggio.

И Он — Тот, Кто создаёт творение впервые, а затем воссоздаёт его, и это для Него ещё легче. И Ему принадлежит наивысший пример совершенства в небесах и на земле, и Он — Могущественный, Мудрый.
Он је Тај Који из ничег ствара и Он ће то поново учинити, то је Њему лако. Он је узвишен и на небесима и на Земљи. Он је силан и мудар.
Na Yeye ndiye anayeanzisha uumbaji, kisha ataurudisha mara nyingine. Na jambo hili ni jepesi zaidi kwake. Naye ndiye mwenye mfano bora zaidi katika mbingu na ardhi. Na Yeye ndiye Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye hekima.
Han är den som inleder skapelsen och han ska sedan upprepa den – vilket är ännu enklare för honom. Endast han, i himlarna såväl som på jorden, ska beskrivas med de allra ädlaste egenskaperna. Ja, han är den Allsmäktige, den Vise.
Yaratmayı ilk başlatan, sonra onu yeniden gerçekleştirecek olan O'dur. Bu, O’na göre (ilk yaratmadan) daha kolaydır. Göklerde ve yerde en yüce ve eşsiz sıfatlar O’nundur. O; Azîzdir, Hakîmdir.

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.
shown so it's never read alone

And of His signs is that the heaven and the earth stand at His disposal. And then, when He calls you out of the earth, you will emerge at once.
And of His signs is this: The heavens and the earth stand fast by His command, and afterward, when He calleth you, lo! from the earth ye will emerge
And of His signs is this, that the heavens and the earth stand by His order; then when He calls you from the earth, lo! ye shall come forth
And of his signs also one is that the Heaven and the Earth stand firm at his bidding: hereafter, when with one summons He shall summon you out of the earth, - lo! forth shall ye come
And of his signs this also is one, namely, that the heaven and the earth stand firm at his command: Hereafter, when He shall call you out of the earth at one summons, behold, ye shall come forth

He illustrates an example for you, from your own selves: do you make your servants full partners in the wealth We have given you? Do you revere them as you revere one another? We thus explain the revelations for a people who understand.
He coineth for you a similitude of yourselves. Have ye, from among those whom your right hands possess, partners in the wealth We have bestowed upon you, equal with you in respect thereof, so that ye fear them as ye fear each other (that ye ascribe unto Us partners out of that which We created)? Thus We display the revelations for people who have sense
He has struck out for you a parable from yourselves; have ye of what your right hand possess partners in what we have bestowed upon you, so that ye share alike therein? do ye fear them as ye fear each other?- Thus do we detail the signs unto a people who have sense
He setteth forth to you an instance drawn from yourselves. Have ye among the slaves whom your right hands have won, any partner in what we have bestowed on you, so that ye share alike? Fear ye them as ye fear each other? (Thus make we our signs clear to men of understanding)
He propoundeth unto you a comparison taken from yourselves. Have ye, among the slaves whom your right hands possess, any partner in the substance which We have bestowed on you, so that ye become equal sharers therein with them, or that ye fear them as ye fear one another? Thus do We distinctly explain our signs, unto people who understand

The translators word this verse differently
Yet the wrongdoers follow their desires without knowledge. But who can guide whom God leaves astray? They will have no helpers.
Nay, but those who do wrong follow their own lusts without knowledge. Who is able to guide him whom Allah hath sent astray? For such there are no helpers
Nay, when those who are unjust follow their lusts without knowledge,- and who shall guide him whom God has led astray? and they shall have none to help
No, ye do not. But the wicked, devoid of knowledge, follow their own desires: and those whom God shall mislead, who shall guide, and who shall be their protector
But those who act unjustly by attributing companions unto God, follow their own lusts, without knowledge: And who shall direct him whom God shall cause to err? They shall have none to help them

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 — 0.61 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.
