Kujto robin Tonë, Ejubin, kur iu lut Zotit të vet: "Me të vërtetë, shejtani më ka goditur me mundim e vuajtje."
হে রাসূল! স্মরণ কর আমার বান্দা আইউবকে, যখন সে তার রবকে ডেকে বলেছিল: ‘শয়তান তো আমাকে অনেক যন্ত্রণা ও কষ্টে ফেলেছে।’
I sjeti se roba Našeg Ejjuba, kada je Gospodaru svome zavapio: "Šejtan me pogodio nedaćama i patnjom!"
I sjeti se roba Našeg Joba, kada je Gospodaru svome zavapio: "Vrag me pogodio nedaćama i patnjom!"
Jaŋto kadi jiyaaɗo Amen on Ayyuuba, nde o noddunoo Joomi makko, won'de : "Seytaane memirii lam tampere e muuseendi".
და გაიხსენე ჩვენი მორჩილი — აიუბი. აი, როცა მან შეჰღაღადა თავის უფალს: «ჭეშმარიტად, შემეხო მე სატანა ტანჯვითა და სასჯელით[1]».
Und gedenke Unseres Dieners Ayyub, als er zu seinem Herrn rief: „Mich hat der Satan mit Beschwernis und Pein heimgesucht.“
(Ανάφερε, ω, Προφήτη) τον δούλο Μας, τον Ιώβ, όταν επικαλέστηκε τον Κύριό του [αφού έμεινε άρρωστος αρκετά χρόνια, οι άνθρωποι απομακρύνθηκαν απ' αυτόν -εκτός από τη γυναίκα του και δύο φίλους του- και έχασε τα πλούτη του]: «Μου προκάλεσε ο Σατανάς πόνους και κακουχίες (στο σώμα, στον πλούτο και στην οικογένειά μου).»
तथा हमारे बंदे अय्यूब को याद करो। जब उसने अपने पालनहार को पुकारा कि निःसंदेह शैतान ने मुझे दुःख तथा कष्ट पहुँचाया[11] है।
E ricorda il Nostro servo Eyyūb, quando invocò il suo Dio: “In verità il Diavolo mi ha colpito con la sofferenza e il dolore!”
41. Ir prisiminkite Mūsų vergą Ajūbą (Jobą), kai jis šaukėsi savo Viešpaties (sakydamas): „Iš tiesų šaitan (šėtonas) palietė mane su bėda (sugadindamas mano sveikatą) ir kančia (sugadindamas mano turtą).
Gabricha keenya Ayyuubiin dubbadhu yeroo inni Gooftaa isaatti lallabee “shayxaanni rakkinaafi adabaan na tuqee jira” (jedhe).
И вспомни Нашего раба Айюба, когда он воззвал к своему Господу: «Воистину, шайтан поразил меня страданием и мучением!»
И сети се Наше слуге Јова, када је завапио своме Господару: „Сотона ме на зло навраћа и мисли лажне ми улива!”
Na mkumbuke mja wetu Ayubu alipomwita Mola wake Mlezi akasema: Kwa hakika Shetani amenifikishia udhia na adhabu.
Minns även vår tjänare Job, när han åkallade sin Herre: ”Satan plågar mig med svår utmattning och smärta!”
Kulumuz Eyyûb’u da an. Hani Rabbine: “Şeytan bana bir yorgunluk ve azap verdi." diye seslenmişti.
اور ہمارے بندے ایوب (علیہ السلام) کا (بھی) ذکر کر، جبکہ اس نے اپنے رب کو پکارا کہ مجھے شیطان نے رنج اور دکھ پہنچایا ہے.[1]
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.

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 — 0.60 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.
