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.
You warn only him who follows the Message, and fears the Most Gracious inwardly. So give him good news of forgiveness, and a generous reward.

তুমি তো কেবল তাকেই সতর্ক করবে যে উপদেশ মেনে চলে এবং না দেখেও পরম করুণাময় আল্লাহকে ভয় করে। অতএব তাকে তুমি ক্ষমা ও সম্মানজনক পুরস্কারের সুসংবাদ দাও।

Du kannst ja nur jemanden warnen, der der Ermahnung folgt und den Allerbarmer im Verborgenen fürchtet. So verkünde ihm Vergebung und trefflichen Lohn.
Η προειδοποίησή σου (ω, Προφήτη) θα ωφελήσει μόνο όποιον ακολουθεί την Υπενθύμιση (το Κορ’άν) και φοβάται την τιμωρία του Αρ-Ραχμάν (Παντελεήμονα) χωρίς να την έχει δει. Σ' αυτόν δώσε τα χαρμόσυνα νέα για συγχώρεση και μία γενναιόδωρη ανταμοιβή.
आप तो केवल उस व्यक्ति को डरा सकते हैं, जो इस ज़िक्र (क़ुरआन) का पालन करे, तथा बिन देखे रहमान (अत्यंत दयावान् अल्लाह) से डरे। तो आप उसे क्षमा तथा सम्मानजनक बदले की शुभ सूचना दे दें।
In verità tu non puoi avvertire se non chi segue la Parola e teme il Compassionevole nell’Ignoto: annunciagli il perdono e una ricompensa generosa.

Воистину, ты предостерегаешь лишь того, кто последовал Напоминанию и устрашился Всемилостивого втайне. Так обрадуй же его прощением и щедрой наградой.
Твоја опомена ће користити само оном који Кур’ан следи и Милостивог се боји и када га нико не види – њега обрадуј опростом и наградом лепом!
Hakika wewe unamwonya mwenye kufuata ukumbusho, na akamcha Arrahman (Mwingi wa rehema), kwa ghaibu. Basi mbashirie huyo msamaha na ujira mwema.
Din varning är endast till nytta för den som tar till sig påminnelsen och vördar den Nåderike utan att kunna se honom. Ge honom glädjebudet om förlåtelse och en ädel belöning.
Sen, ancak zikre (Kur'an'a) uyan ve görmeden Rahman'dan korkan kimseyi uyarabilirsin. İşte böylesini bir mağfiret ve güzel bir mükâfatla müjdele.
بس آپ تو صرف ایسے شخص کو ڈرا سکتے ہیں[1] جو نصیحت پر چلے اور رحمٰن سے بےدیکھے ڈرے، سو آپ اس کو مغفرت اور باوقار اجر کی خوش خبریاں سنا دیجیئے.
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.

Alike is it to them if thou warn them or warn them not: they will not believe

The translators word this verse differently
It is We who revive the dead; and We write down what they have forwarded, and their traces. We have tallied all things in a Clear Record.
Lo! We it is Who bring the dead to life. We record that which they send before (them, and their footprints. And all things We have kept in a clear Register)
Verily, we quicken the dead, and write down what they have done before, and what vestiges they leave behind; and everything have we counted in a plain model
Verily, it is We who will quicken the dead, and write down the works which they have sent on before them, and the traces which they shall have left behind them: and everything have we set down in the clear Book of our decrees
Verily We will restore the dead to life, and will write down their works which they shall have sent before them, and their footsteps which they shall have left behind them; and every thing do We set down in a plain register

And cite for them the parable of the landlords of the town-when the messengers came to it.
Coin for them a similitude: The people of the city when those sent (from Allah) came unto them
Strike out for them a parable: the fellows of the city when there came to it the apostles
Set forth to them the instance of the people of the city when the Sent Ones came to it
Propound unto them as an example the inhabitants of the city of Antioch, when the apostles of Jesus came thereto

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 — 0.68 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.
