When We give people a taste of mercy, they rejoice in it. But when adversity befalls them, because of what their hands have perpetrated, they begin to despair.

আর আমি যখন মানুষকে রহমতের স্বাদ আস্বাদন করাই তখন তারা তাতে আনন্দিত হয়। পক্ষান্তরে যদি তাদের কৃতকর্মের কারণে তাদের ওপর অকল্যাণ পৌঁছে তখন তারা (আল্লাহর নি‘আমত থেকে) নিরাশ হয়ে পড়ে।

და როცა ჩვენ ვაგემოვნებინებთ ადამიანებს ჩვენს წყალობას [ჯანმრთელობას, მშვიდ ცხოვრებას, ნაყოფიერებას...], ისინი ხარობენ მასზე ამპარტავნულად [მადლიერების ნაცვლად]. ხოლო თუ უბედურება შეემთხვევათ [დაავადება, სიღარიბე, შიში] იმ ყველაფრის გამო, რაც მათმა ხელებმა მოიმოქმედეს [ცოდვების გამო], — მაშინვე სასოწარკვეთილნი ხდებიან [ალლაჰის წყალობის მიმართ]!
Und wenn Wir die Menschen Barmherzigkeit kosten lassen, freuen sie sich darüber. Wenn sie aber etwas Schlechtes trifft für das, was ihre Hände vorausgeschickt haben, verlieren sie sogleich die Hoffnung.
Όταν δίνουμε στους ανθρώπους έλεος (και εύνοια από πλούτη ή καλή υγεία κλπ.), χαίρονται μ' αυτό. Μα αν τους πλήξουν οι κακουχίες για ό,τι διέπραξαν (από κακές πράξεις), απελπίζονται (σαν να μην υπάρχει διέξοδος από τις κακουχίες)!
और जब हम लोगों को कोई दया चखाते हैं, तो वे उससे प्रसन्न हो जाते हैं, और अगर उन्हें उनकी करतूतों के कारण कोई विपत्ति पहुँचती है, तो वे सहसा निराश हो जाते हैं।
E se facciamo provare a questi popoli una grazia, se ne rallegrano, ma se li prende una disgrazia a causa di ciò che hanno fatto con le loro mani, eccoli cadere in preda alla disperazione.

И когда Мы даём вкусить людям милость, они радуются ей, а если постигнет их зло за то, что уготовили их руки, — вот, они и отчаиваются.
Кад допустимо људима да се благодатима наслађују, они им се обрадују, а кад их погоди невоља, због оног што су руке њихове чиниле, одједном очајавају.
Na tunapowaonjesha watu rehema, huifurahia. Na ukiwasibu ubaya kwa iliyoyatanguliza mikono yao wenyewe, mara wanakata tamaa.
När vi låter människor ta del av vår nåd fylls de av glädje, men när något ont drabbar dem, till följd av deras egna handlingar, tappar de hoppet [om vår nåd].
İnsanlara bir rahmet tattırdığımız zaman ona sevinirler. Eğer kendi işledikleri şeyler sebebiyle başlarına bir kötülük gelirse, bir de bakarsın ki ümitsizliğe düşerler.
اور جب ہم لوگوں کو رحمت کا مزه چکھاتے ہیں تو وه خوب خوش ہو جاتے ہیں اور اگر انہیں ان کے ہاتھوں کے کرتوت کی وجہ سے کوئی برائی پہنچے تو ایک دم وه محض ناامید ہو جاتے ہیں.[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.

To show ingratitude for what We have given them. Indulge yourselves-you will surely know.
So as to disbelieve in that which We have given them. (Unto such it is said): Enjoy yourselves awhile, but ye will come to know
that they may disbelieve in what we have brought them;- but enjoy yourselves; for hereafter ye shall know
Ungrateful for our favours! Enjoy yourselves then. But in the end ye shall know your folly
to shew themselves ungrateful for the favours which We have bestowed on them. Enjoy therefore the vain pleasures of this life; but hereafter shall ye know the consequence

Do they not see that God expands the provision for whomever He wills, or restricts it? Surely in this are signs for people who believe.
See they not that Allah enlargeth the provision for whom He will, and straiteneth (it for whom He will). Lo! herein indeed are portents for folk who believe
Have they not seen that God extends provision to whom He pleases, or doles it out? verily, in that are signs unto a people who believe
See they not that God bestoweth full supplies on whom He pleaseth and giveth sparingly to whom He pleaseth? Signs truly are there herein to those who believe
Do they not see that God bestoweth provision abundantly on whom He pleaseth, and is sparing unto whom He pleaseth? Verily herein are signs unto people who believe

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.
