The translators word this verse differently
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.
This, for that God is the truth; and that whatever ye call upon beside Him is a vain thing; and that God - He is the High, the Great

That is because God is the Reality, and what they worship besides Him is falsehood, and because God is the Exalted, the Supreme.

Kjo, se Allahu është e Vërteta, ndërsa çdo gjë që adhurojnë përveç Tij është e pavërteta, dhe se Allahu është i Larti, i Madhi.
এগুলো প্রমাণ করে যে, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহই সত্য এবং তারা (মুশরিকরা) আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে যাকে ডাকে, তা মিথ্যা। আর নিশ্চয় আল্লাহই হলেন সর্বোচ্চ, সুমহান।
To zato što je Allah – istina, a oni kojima se, pored Njega, oni mole – neistina, i što je Allah uzvišen i velik.
To zato što je Allah – Istina, a oni kojima se, pored Njega, oni mole – neistina, i što je Allah uzvišen i velik.
Ɗuum [ko jaŋtaa ɗoo], ko tawde pellet, Alla ko Kaŋko woni Goonga, e won'de kon ko ɓe noddata ga makko, ko ɗuum woni mehre nden, e won'de ko Alla woni Toowɗo, Mawnɗo On.
ეს [ზემოთ ხსენებული ალლაჰის ძალმოსილება, მისი ყოვლისმცოდნეობა და მისი დახმარება მის მომხრეებს] იმიტომაა, რომ ალლაჰი არის ჭეშმარიტი [ღმერთი], ხოლო ის, რასაც ისინი მის გარდა უხმობენ, ეს — სიცრუეა. და იმიტომ, რომ ალლაჰი არის უზენაესი [ყველა თავისი ქმნილებაზე აღმატებული], დიადი [არავინ და არაფერია მასზე დიდი].
Dies, weil Allah die Wahrheit ist und weil das, was sie anstatt Seiner anrufen, das Nichtige ist und weil Allah der (hoch) Erhobene und der Große ist.
Αυτό επειδή ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Αλ-Χακκ (ο Ένας Αληθινός Θεός), και ό,τι επικαλούνται (και λατρεύουν οι άπιστοι), εκτός απ' Αυτόν, είναι πλάνη, και ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Αλ-‘Αλέι (Ύψιστος), ο Αλ-Καμπείρ (Μέγας).
यह इसलिए है कि अल्लाह ही सत्य है, और यह कि उसके सिवा जिसे वेे पुकारते हैं, वह असत्य है, और यह कि अल्लाह ही सर्वोच्च, सबसे महान है।
Ciò perché Allāh, Lui è la Verità, e ciò che invocano all’infuori di Lui è la falsità, e in verità Allāh è l’Immenso, il Grande.
30. Tai todėl, kad Allahas, Jis yra Tiesa, ir kad tai, ko jie šaukiasi šalia Jo yra Al-Batil (melas, Šėtonas ir visos kitos netikros dievybės), ir kad Allahas, Jis yra Aukščiausiasis, Didingiausiasis.
Kun waan Rabbiin Inni dhugaa ta’eefi wantoonni Isaa gaditti isaan waammatan soba ta’eefi. Allaahn Isatu ol ta’aa, guddaadha.
Это потому, что Аллах, Он — Истина, а то, что вы призываете помимо Него, — ложь, и потому что Аллах, Он — Высочайший, Великий.
То је зато што је Аллах - истина, а они којима они, поред Њега, упућују молбе - неистина, и што је Аллах Узвишени и Велики.
Hivi ni kwa sababu, Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye wa kweli, na hakika wanachokiomba ni cha uongo. Na kwamba hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mtukufu na ndiye Mkubwa.
Så är det eftersom Gud är den absoluta Sanningen, medan det de åkallar vid hans sida är falska påfund, och eftersom Gud verkligen är den Höge, den Store.
Bu böyledir. Çünkü Allah hakkın ta kendisidir. O'nu bırakıp da taptıkları ise batıldır. Şüphesiz Allah; yüksektir/uludur, büyüktür.
یہ سب (انتظامات) اس وجہ سے ہیں کہ اللہ تعالیٰ حق ہے اور اس کے سوا جن جن کو لوگ پکارتے ہیں[1] سب باطل ہیں اور یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ بہت بلندیوں واﻻ اور بڑی شان واﻻ ہے.[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.
shown so it's never read alone

The translators word this verse differently
When waves, like canopies, cover them, they call upon God, devoting their religion to Him. But when He has delivered them to dry land, some of them waver. No one renounces Our revelations except the treacherous blasphemer.
And if a wave enshroudeth them like awnings, they cry unto Allah, making their faith pure for Him only. But when He bringeth them safe to land, some of them compromise. None denieth Our signs save every traitor ingrate
And when a wave like shadows covers them, they call on God, being sincere in their religion; and when He saves them to the shore, then amongst them are some who halt between two opinions. But none gainsays our signs save every perfidious misbeliever
When the waves cover them like dark shadows they call upon God as with sincere religion; but when He safely landeth them, some of them there are who halt between two opinions. Yet none reject our signs but all deceitful, ungrateful ones
When waves cover them, like overshadowing clouds, they call upon God, exhibiting the pure religion unto him; but when He bringeth them safe to land, there is of them who halteth between the true faith and idolatry

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 — 0.67 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.
