Ata do të thonë: "I patëmeta je, o Zot! Ti je Mbrojtësi ynë e jo ata. Në të vërtetë, ata i adhuronin xhinët; shumica e tyre besonin në ta."
জবাবে ফিরিশতারা বলবে: ‘আপনি পবিত্র মহান, আপনিই আমাদের অভিভাবক, তারা কিছুই নয়। বরং তারা (শয়তানরা) জিনদের পূজা করতো। এদের অধিকাংশই তাদের প্রতি ঈমান রাখতো।’

werden sie sagen: „Gepriesen seist Du! Du bist unser Schutzherr, nicht sie. Vielmehr dienten sie den Jinn; die meisten von ihnen glauben an sie.“
Θα πουν (οι Άγγελοι): «Δόξα Σοι! Εσύ είσαι ο Κηδεμόνας μας (που λατρεύουμε, και εμείς είμαστε οι δούλοι Σου), και απαρνιόμαστε αυτούς (και τη λατρεία τους προς εμάς, και ποτέ δεν τους είπαμε να μας λατρεύουν). Αλλά αυτοί λάτρευαν (δηλ. υπάκουαν) τα Τζινν (τους διαβόλους που τους παραπλάνησαν και ωραιοποίησαν σ' αυτούς το να λατρεύουν τους Αγγέλους και τα είδωλα), οι περισσότεροι εξ αυτών (των ειδωλολατρών) πίστεψαν αυτούς (τους διαβόλους).»
वे (फ़रिश्ते) कहेंगे : तू पवित्र है! तू ही उनके सिवा हमारा संरक्षक है। बल्कि वे तो जिन्नों[35] की इबादत करते थे। उनमें से अधिकतर लोग उन्हीं पर ईमान रखने वाले थे।
Dissero: „Gloria Tua! Tu sei il nostro Protettore, e loro (gli idoli) sono esclusi. Ma adoravano i demoni: la maggior parte di loro credono in essi.”
41. Jie (angelai) sakys: „Pagarbintas būk Tu, Tu esi mūsų Vali (Viešpats) vietoje jų. Ne, tačiau jie garbindavo džinus, dauguma jų tikėjo juos.“

Они скажут: «Пречист Ты! Ты — наш покровитель, а не они. Нет, напротив! Они поклонялись джиннам — большинство из них верило в них».
Они ће да одговоре: „Узвишен нека си, Ти си наш Господар, а не они! Они су обожавали духове и већина их је веровала у њих.“
Waseme, "Subhanak (umetakasika). Wewe ndiye kipenzi chetu, si hao. Bali wao walikuwa wakiwaabudu majini; wengi wao wakiwaamini hao."
De ska svara: ”Upphöjd är du! Vi håller oss enbart till dig och har inget med dem att göra. I själva verket var det jinnerna de dyrkade, och det var till dem de flesta satte sin tro.”
Melekler diyecekler ki: “Tenzih ederiz seni! Bizim velimiz onlar değil, sensin. Aksine onlar cinlere ibadet ediyorlardı. Bunların çoğu onlara iman ediyorlardı.
وه کہیں گے تیری ذات پاک ہے اور ہمارا ولی تو تو ہے نہ کہ یہ[1] بلکہ یہ لوگ جنوں کی عبادت کرتے تھے[2]، ان میں کے اکثر کا ان ہی پر ایمان تھا.
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.

Say, "My Lord extends the provision to whomever He wills of His servants, or withholds it. Anything you spend, He will replace it. He is the Best of providers."
Say: Lo! my Lord enlargeth the provision for whom He will of His bondmen, and narroweth (it) for him. And whatsoever ye spend (for good) He replaceth it. And He is the Best of Providers
Verily, my Lord extends provision to whomsoever He will of His servants, or doles it out to him. And what ye expend in alms at all, He will repay it; for He is the best of providers

The translators word this verse differently
"Today, none of you has the power to profit or harm the other." And We will say to those who did wrong, "Taste the agony of the Fire which you used to deny."
That day ye will possess no use nor hurt one for another. And We shall say unto those who did wrong: Taste the doom of the Fire which ye used to deny
But today they cannot control for each other, either profit or harm;' and we will say to those who have done wrong, 'Taste ye the torment of the fire wherein ye did disbelieve
On this day the one of you shall have no power over others for help or hurt. And we will say to the evil doers, "Taste ye the torment of the fire, which ye treated as a delusion
On this day the one of you shall not be able either to profit or to hurt the other. And we will say unto those who have acted unjustly, taste ye the pain of hell fire, which ye rejected as a falsehood

And when Our enlightening Verses are recited to them, they say, "This is nothing but a man who wants to divert you from what your ancestors used to worship." And they say, "This is nothing but a fabricated lie." And when the Truth comes to them, the blasphemers say of the Truth, "This is nothing but plain magic."
And if Our revelations are recited unto them in plain terms, they say: This is naught else than a man who would turn you away from what your fathers used to worship; and they say: This is naught else than an invented lie. Those who disbelieve say of the truth when it reacheth them: This is naught else than mere magic
And when our signs are recited to them they say, 'This is only a man who wishes to turn you from what your fathers served;' and they say, 'This is only a lie forged,' and those who misbelive will say of the truth when it comes to them, 'It is only obvious sorcery
For when our distinct signs are recited to them, they say, "This is merely a man who would fain pervert you from your father's Worship." And they say, "This (Koran) is no other than a forged falsehood." And the unbelievers say to the truth when it is presented to them, "Tis nothing but palpable sorcery
When our evident signs are read unto them, they say of thee, O Mohammed, this is no other than a man, who seeketh to turn you aside from the gods which your fathers worshipped. And they say of the Koran, this is no other than a lie blasphemously forged. And the unbelievers say of the truth, when it is come unto them, this is no other than manifest sorcery

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 — 0.66 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.
