If We will, We can drown them-with no screaming to be heard from them, nor will they be saved.

Sikur të donim, do t'i fundosnim ata, e nuk do të kishte kush t'u ndihmonte, as do të mund të shpëtoheshin,
আর আমি তাদেরকে ডুবাতে চাইলে তা করতে পারি, তখন তাদের জন্য কোন সাহায্যকারী থাকে না এবং তাদেরকে উদ্ধারও করা হয় না।
I ako htjednemo, Mi ih potopimo, i niko im u pomoć neće priteći, niti će biti izbavljeni,
I ako htjednemo, Mi ih potopimo, i nitko im u pomoć neće priteći, niti će biti izbavljeni,
Si Miɗen njiɗuno, Min njoolayno ɓe; hara faabo alanaa ɓe, wanaa kadi ɓe daɗndeteeɓe,
და თუ ვისურვებთ, დავახრჩობთ მათ და არავინ ეყოლებათ შემწე, და ისინი არ იქნებიან გადარჩენილნი.
Und wenn Wir wollen, lassen Wir sie ertrinken; dann gibt es kein zu Hilfe kommen für sie, und sie werden nicht gerettet,
Αν θέλαμε, θα τους πνίγαμε, και τότε δε θα υπήρχε κανείς να τους σώσει, ούτε θα μπορούσαν οι ίδιοι να σωθούν!
और यदि हम चाहें, तो उन्हें डुबो दें। फिर न कोई उनकी फ़र्याद को पहुँचने वाला हो और न वे बचाए जाएँ।
E se avessimo voluto, li avremmo sprofondati e non avrebbero avuto soccorritore e non sarebbero stati salvati,
43. Ir jei Mes panorėtume, nuskandintume juos ir nebus jokio šauksmo (arba padėjėjo) jiems (kad išgirstų jų pagalbos šauksmą), nei jie bus išgelbėti.
Odoo feenee bishaaniin isaan dhidhimsiifna (bishaan nyaachifna) turre. Birmataan tokkos isaaniif hin jiru, Isaan hin baraarfamanis.
А если Мы пожелаем — потопим их, и не будет для них никого, кто воззовёт на помощь, и не будут они спасены,
И ако желимо, Ми их потопимо, и нико у помоћ неће да им притекне, нити ће да буду избављени
Na tukitaka, tunawazamisha, wala hapana wa kuwasaidia, wala hawaokolewi.
Om vi vill kan vi låta dem drunkna. Ingen kommer då att svara på deras nödrop, och ingen kommer att rädda dem,
Eğer dilersek, onları suda boğarız da kimse de yardımlarına gelemez. İşte o zaman onlar için bir kurtuluş da yoktur.
اور اگر ہم چاہتے تو انہیں ڈبو دیتے۔ پھر نہ تو کوئی ان کا فریاد رس ہوتا نہ وه بچائے جائیں.
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.

Another sign for them is that We carried their offspring in the laden Ark.
And a token unto them is that We bear their offspring in the laden ship
And a sign for them is that we bear their seed in a laden ship
It is also a sign to them that we bare their posterity in the full-laden Ark
It is a sign also unto them, that We carry their offspring in the ship filled with merchandize

And have created for them of the like thereof whereon they ride
and we have created for them the like thereof whereon to ride
And that we have made for them vessels like it on which they embark
and that We have made for them other conveniencies like unto it, whereon they ride

The translators word this verse differently
Except by a mercy from Us, and enjoyment for a while.
Unless by mercy from Us and as comfort for a while
save by mercy from us, as a provision for a season
Unless through our mercy, and that they may enjoy themselves for yet awhile
unless through our mercy, and that they may enjoy life for a season
وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱتَّقُوا۟ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَمَا خَلْفَكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

Yet when it is said to them, "Beware of what lies before you, and what lies behind you, that you may receive mercy."
When it is said unto them: Beware of that which is before you and that which is behind you, that haply ye may find mercy (they are heedless)
And when it is said to them, 'Fear what is before you and what is behind you, haply ye may obtain mercy
And when it is said to them, Fear what is before you and what is behind you, that ye may obtain mercy
When it is said unto them, fear that which is before you, and that which is behind you, that ye may obtain mercy; they withdraw from thee

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 — 0.54 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.
