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.
God made them taste disgrace in the present life, but the punishment of the Hereafter is worse, if they only knew.

Prandaj, Allahu i bëri ata të shijojnë poshtërimin në jetën e kësaj bote, por dënimi i jetës tjetër është edhe më i madh, sikur ta dinin!
ফলে আল্লাহ (শাস্তির মাধ্যমে) তাদেরকে দুনিয়ার জীবনে লাঞ্ছনা আস্বাদন করালেন। আর আখিরাতের শাস্তি নিশ্চয় আরো বড় কঠিন, যদি তারা জানত!
Allah je dao da osjete poniženje u životu na ovom svijetu, a patnja na onome svijetu bit će, zaista, još gora – kad bi oni samo znali!
Allah je dao da osjete poniženje u životu na ovom svijetu, a patnja na onome svijetu bit će, zaista, još gora – kad bi oni samo znali!
Allah meeɗiniri ɓe koyeera, ka nguurndam aduna. Pellet non, ko lepte La'akara ɗen noon, ɓuri mawnude, si tawno heɓe nganndunoo!
ალლაჰმა აგემა მათ დამცირება მიწიერ ცხოვრებაში; ხოლო იმქვეყნის სასჯელი უფრო დიდია, ნეტავ იცოდნენ!
So ließ Allah sie im diesseitigen Leben die Schande kosten; aber die Strafe des Jenseits ist gewiss größer, wenn sie nur wüssten!
Έτσι, ο Αλλάχ τους έκανε να γευτούν την ατίμωση στην εγκόσμια ζωή, αλλά η τιμωρία της Μέλλουσας Ζωής, θα είναι πολύ μεγαλύτερη, αν το ήξεραν.
तो अल्लाह ने उन्हें सांसारिक जीवन में अपमान चखाया और निश्चय आख़िरत (परलोक) की यातना अत्यधिक बड़ी है। काश! वे जानते होते।
così Allāh fece provare loro la vergogna nella vita terrena e la punizione nell’Aldilà è più grande: se l’avessero saputo!
26. Taigi Allahas privertė juos paragauti gėdos dabartiniame gyvenime, tačiau didesnė kančia Amžinybėje, jei tik jie būtų žinoję.
Rabbiin jiruu addunyaa keessatti salphina isaan dhandhamsiise. adabbiin kan Aakhiraatu irra guddaadha Odoo beekanii.
И Аллах дал им вкусить унижение в мирской жизни, а наказание Последней жизни — ещё более велико, если бы они только знали!
Аллах је дао да осете понижење у животу на овом свету, а патња на Оном свету биће, заиста, још већа - кад би они само знали!
Basi Mwenyezi Mungu akawaonjesha hizaya katika uhai wa duniani. Na bila ya shaka adhabu ya Akhera ni kubwa zaidi; laiti wangelijua!
Gud lät dem förnedras redan här på jorden, men i det kommande livet väntar dem ett mycket hårdare straff – om de bara visste!
Allah, onlara dünya hayatında da rezilliği tattırdı. Ahiret azabı ise çok daha büyüktür. Keşke bunu bilselerdi.
اور اللہ تعالیٰ نے انہیں زندگانی دنیا میں رسوائی کا مزه چکھایا[1] اور ابھی آخرت کا تو بڑا بھاری عذاب ہے کاش کہ یہ لوگ سمجھ لیں.
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.

What about someone who covers his face against the terrible misery of the Day of Resurrection? To the evildoers it will be said, "Taste what you used to earn."
Is he then, who will strike his face against the awful doom upon the Day of Resurrection (as he who doeth right)? And it will be said unto the wrong-doers: Taste what ye used to earn
Shall he who must screen himself with his own face from the evil torment on the resurrection day. . . . ? And it shall be said of those who do wrong, taste what ye have earned
Shall he who shall have nought but his own face to shelter him with from the torment of the punishment on the day of the resurrection . . .? Aye, to the evil doers it shall be said, "Taste what ye have earned
Shall he therefore who shall be obliged to screen himself with his face from the severity of the punishment on the day of resurrection, be as he who is secure therefrom? And it shall be said unto the ungodly, taste that which ye have deserved

The translators word this verse differently
Those before them also denied the truth, so the penalty came upon them from where they did not perceive.
Those before them denied, and so the doom came on them whence they knew not
Those before them called the (prophets) liars, and the torment came to them from whence they perceived it not
They who were before them said it was a lie; but a punishment came upon them whence they looked not for it
Those who were before them, accused their apostles of imposture; wherefore a punishment came upon them from whence they expected it not

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.
