Kujto robërit Tanë: Ibrahimin, Ishakun dhe Jakubin, (të cilët ishin) të fortë e mendjemprehtë.
আর (হে রাসূল!) আমার বান্দা ইবরাহীম, ইসহাক ও ইয়া‘কূবকে স্মরণ কর। তারা ছিল (আল্লাহর আনুগত্যে) শক্তিমান এবং সত্য উপলব্ধিতে প্রখর।

Und gedenke Unserer Diener Ibrahim, Ishaq und Ya'qub, die Stärke (bei der Anbetung) und Einsicht besaßen.
Ανάφερε (ω, Προφήτη) τους δούλους Μας: τον Αβραάμ, τον Ισαάκ και τον Ιακώβ, οι οποίοι είχαν δύναμη (στη λατρεία και την υπακοή) και κατανόηση (στη θρησκεία).
तथा हमारे बंदों इबराहीम और इसहाक़ और याक़ूब को याद करो, जो हाथों (शक्ति) वाले और आँखों (अंतर्दृष्टि)[13] वाले थे।
E ricorda i nostri servi Ibrāhīm, Is’ħaq e Ya’qub, forti di fisico e lungimiranti.

Gabroota keenya Ibraahiim, Is'haaqiifi Ya’aquubiin kanneen (Ibaadaa irratti) cimoofi ija xiinxaltu qaban san dubbadhu.
И вспомни Наших рабов Ибрахима, Исхака и Я‘куба — обладателей силы и прозорливости.
И сети се наших слуга: Аврама и Исака и Јакова, сви у вери чврсти и постојани.
Na wakumbuke waja wetu, Ibrahim na Is-haqa na Yaa'qubu waliokuwa na nguvu na busara.
Minns också våra tjänare Abraham, Isak och Jakob; de var alla själsstarka och klarsynta.
Güç ve basiret sahibi kullarımız İbrahim'i, İshak'ı ve Ya'kûb'u da an.
ہمارے بندوں ابراہیم، اسحاق اور یعقوب (علیہم السلام) کا بھی لوگوں سے ذکر کرو جو ہاتھوں اور آنکھوں والے[1] تھے.
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.

And We restored his family for him, and their like with them; as a mercy from Us, and a lesson for those who possess insight.
And We bestowed on him (again) his household and therewith the like thereof, a mercy from Us, and a memorial for men of understanding
And we granted him his family, and the like of them with them, as a mercy from us and a reminder to those endowed with minds
And we gave him back his family, and as many more with them in our mercy; and for a monition to men of judgment
And We restored unto him his family, and as many more with them, through our mercy; and for an admonition unto those who are indued with understanding

"Take with your hand a bundle, and strike with it, and do not break your oath." We found him patient. What an excellent servant! He was obedient.
And (it was said unto him): Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith, and break not thine oath. Lo! We found him steadfast, how excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (to his Lord)
and take in thy hand a bundle, and strike therewith, and break not thy oath!' Verily, we found him patient, an excellent servant; verily, he turned frequently to us
And we said, "Take in thine hand a rod, and strike with it, nor break thine oath." Verily, we found him patient! How excellent a servant, one who turned to Us was he
And We said unto him, take a handful of rods in thy hand, and strike thy wife therewith; and break not thine oath. Verily We found him a patient person: How excellent a servant was he! For he was one who frequently turned himself unto Us

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 — 0.56 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.
