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.
These can expect only a single scream, from which there is no recovery.

Ata nuk presin gjë tjetër përveç një gjëmimi të tmerrshëm që është i pakthyeshëm.
আর এরা তো কেবল (শিঙ্গায় ফুৎকারের) একটি বিকট আওয়াজের অপেক্ষা করছে, যাতে কোন বিরাম থাকবে না।(১০)
A i ovi ne čekaju do jedan zvuk roga koji neće biti potrebno ponoviti.
A i ovi ne čekaju do jedan zvuk roga koji neće biti potrebno ponoviti.
Ɓee cabbaaki, si wonaa ha'acaango gooto, ngo alaa ruttorde.
და არაფერს ელიან ისინი [მრავალღმერთიანები], გარდა ერთი გამანადგურებელი ხმაურისა [საყვირის ხმაურისა, რომელშიც ჩაბერავს ანგელოზი ისრაფილი], ამის შემდეგ კი უკვე არ იქნება დაბრუნება.
Diese erwarten sicherlich nur einen einzigen (strafenden) Schrei, der keine Unterbrechung hat.
Δεν περιμένουν (οι άπιστοι από τη φυλή Κουράις) παρά μόνο μία κραυγή (όταν θα φυσήξει ο Άγγελος Ισραφήλ το Κέρας -Σάλπιγγα-), η οποία (κραυγή) είναι μη αναστρέψιμη!
और ये लोग केवल एक सख़्त चीख की प्रतीक्षा कर रहे हैं, जिसमें कोई विराम नहीं होगा।
E quelli non aspettano altro che un solo Grido, che non verrà rimandato.
15. O šie tik laukia vienintelio Saiha [šūksnio (t. y. Trimito papūtimo, kurį atliks Israfil angelas)] – nebus jokio dvejojimo ar pabaigos tam [kol viskas išnyks išskyrus Allahą (vienintelį Dievą, kupiną Didybės, Dosnumo ir Garbės)].
Isaan kun iyyansa tokko kan deebi’uun isheef hin jirre malee homaa hin eegan.
И они не ждут ничего, кроме одного-единственного Гласа, после которого не будет ни мгновения отсрочки.
А и ови не чекају до један звук рога који неће бити потребно поновити.
Na hawa hawangojei ila ukelele mmoja tu usio wa kuchelewa.
Ett enda mäktigt dån är vad som väntar dem, och därefter finns ingen återvändo.
Onlar geri dönüşü olmayan bir tek çığlıktan başka bir şey beklemiyorlar.
انہیں صرف ایک چیﺦ کا انتظار[1] ہے جس میں کوئی توقف (اور ڈھیل) نہیں 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.

The translators word this verse differently
None of them but denied the messengers, so My retribution was deserved.
Not one of them but did deny the messengers, therefor My doom was justified
They all did naught but call the apostles liars, and just was the punishment
Nought did they all but charge the apostles with falsehood: Just, therefore, the retribution
All of them did no other than accuse their apostles of falsehood: Wherefore my vengeance hath been justly executed upon them

Be patient in the face of what they say, and mention Our servant David, the resourceful. He was obedient.
Bear with what they say, and remember Our bondman David, lord of might, Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (toward Allah)
Be patient of what they say, and remember our servant David endowed with might; verily, he turned frequently to us
Put thou up with what they say: and remember our servant David, a man strong of hand, one who turned him to Us in penitence

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 — 0.73 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.
