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.
Likewise, human beings, animals, and livestock come in various colors. From among His servants, the learned fear God. God is Almighty, Oft-Forgiving.

Ashtu edhe njerëzit, kafshët dhe bagëtitë janë me ngjyra të ndryshme. Por, në të vërtetë, nga robërit e Tij, Allahut ia kanë frikën vetëm dijetarët. Pa dyshim, Allahu është i Gjithëfuqishëm e Falës i Madh.
আর এমনিভাবে মানুষ, বিচরণশীল প্রাণী ও চতুষ্পদ জন্তুর মধ্যেও রয়েছে বিচিত্র বর্ণ। বান্দাদের মধ্যে কেবল জ্ঞানীরাই আল্লাহকে ভয় করে।(১৫) নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ মহাপরাক্রমশালী, পরম ক্ষমাশীল।

და ადამიანებს შორის, ცხოველებსა და შინაურ პირუტყვშიც ასევე არიან სხვადასხვა ფერისანი. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰისა (და მისი სასჯელის) ეშინიათ მის მსახურთაგან მხოლოდ მცოდნეებს [მათ, ვინც იცნობს მას, მის სახელებსა და თვისებებს, მის შარიათს]. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ძლევამოსილი, შემნდობია!
Und unter den Menschen und den Tieren und dem Vieh gibt es (auf ähnliche Weise) unterschiedliche Farben. So ist es. Allah fürchten von Seinen Dienern fürwahr nur die Gelehrten. Wahrlich, Allah ist allmächtig und allvergebend.
Και (ότι δημιουργήσαμε) τους ανθρώπους, τα ζώα και τα βοοειδή, με διάφορα χρώματα; Πράγματι, αυτοί που φοβούνται τον Αλλάχ (και δοξάζουν τη Μεγαλοπρέπειά Του), είναι μόνο εκείνοι που έχουν γνώση μεταξύ των δούλων Του (δηλ. έχουν γνώση για τις Ιδιότητές Του, και τη Δύναμη και τα Σημάδιά Του στο σύμπαν). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι ‘Αζείζ (Παντοδύναμος, Ανίκητος) και Γαφούρ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί τα πάντα).
तथा इसी प्रकार मनुष्यों, जानवरों और चौपायों में से भी ऐसे हैं जिनके रंग विभिन्न हैं। वास्तविकता यह है कि अल्लाह से उसके वही बंदे डरते हैं, जो ज्ञानी[11] हैं। निःसंदेह अल्लाह अति प्रभुत्वशाली, बेहद क्षमाशील है।
E anche tra la gente, e il bestiame e gli animali ci sono quelli di vari colori. Temono Allāh i sapienti tra i Suoi servi: in verità Allāh è Potente, Perdonatore.
28. Ir panašiai žmonės ir Ad-Davab [judantys (gyvi) kūriniai, gyvuliai] ir galvijai yra įvairių spalvų. Tai tik tie, turintys žinojimą, iš Jo vergų, kurie bijo Allaho. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Visa Galingas, Visa Atleidžiantis.

Среди людей, и животных, и скота также есть различные цвета. Воистину, боятся Аллаха из Его рабов лишь знающие. Воистину, Аллах — могущественный, прощающий.
и има људи и животиња и стоке, исто тако, различитих врста. А Аллаха се, међу Његовим слугама, боје учени. Аллах је, заиста, силан и опрашта.
Na katika watu, na wanyama, na mifugo, pia rangi zao zinahitalifiana. Kwa hakika wanaomcha Mwenyezi Mungu miongoni mwa waja wake ni wanazuoni. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye kusamehe.
På samma sätt finns människor, djur och boskap i olika färger. Av Guds tjänare är det endast de med kunskap som i sanning fruktar honom. Han är förvisso allsmäktig och ständigt förlåtande.
İnsanlardan, hayvanlardan ve davarlardan da yine böyle türlü renkte olanlar var. Kulları içinden ancak âlimler, Allah'tan (gereğince) korkar. Şüphesiz Allah Azîzdir, Gafûrdur.
اور اسی طرح آدمیوں اور جانوروں اور چوپایوں میں بھی بعض ایسے ہیں کہ ان کی رنگتیں مختلف ہیں[1] ، اللہ سے اس کے وہی بندے ڈرتے ہیں جو علم رکھتے ہیں[2] واقعی اللہ تعالیٰ زبردست بڑا بخشنے واﻻ ہے.[3]
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.

The translators word this verse differently
Have you not seen that God sends down water from the sky? With it We produce fruits of various colors. And in the mountains are streaks of white and red-varying in their hue-and pitch-black.
Hast thou not seen that Allah causeth water to fall from the sky, and We produce therewith fruit of divers hues; and among the hills are streaks white and red, of divers hues, and (others) raven-black
Dost thou not see that God has sent down from the heaven water, and has brought forth therewith fruits varied in hue, and on the mountains dykes, white and red, various in hue, and some intensely black
Seest thou not how that God sendeth down water from the Heaven, and that by it we cause the up-growth of fruits of varied hues, and that on the mountains are tracks of varied hues, white and red, and others are of a raven black
Dost thou not see that God sendeth down rain from heaven; and that We thereby produce fruits of various colours? In the mountains also there are some tracks white and red, of various colours; and others are of a deep black

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 — 0.70 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.
