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.
Is God not enough for His servant? And they frighten you with those besides Him. Whomever God sends astray, for him there is no guide.

A nuk i mjafton Allahu robit të Tij? Megjithatë, ata të frikësojnë me të tjerë pos Tij. Atë që Allahu e lë në humbje, askush s'mund ta udhëzojë.
আল্লাহ কি তাঁর বান্দা (মুহাম্মাদ)-এর জন্য যথেষ্ট নন? অথচ তারা তোমাকে আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে অন্যদের (২১) ভয় দেখায়। আর আল্লাহ যাকে পথভ্রষ্ট করেন, তার জন্য কোন হিদায়াতকারী নেই।
Zar Allah nije dovoljan robu Svome? A oni te plaše onima koje, pored Njega, obožavaju. Onoga kome Allah da da je u zabludi – niko ne može na Pravi put uputiti.

განა ალლაჰი არ არის საკმარისი თავისი მსახურისთვის? და ისინი [მრავალღმერთიანები] შენ გაშინებენ მის [ალლაჰის] გარდა სხვებით (კერპებით). ვისაც ალლაჰი გზას ააცდენს, (მაშინ) არ არსებობს მისი სწორ გზაზე დამდგენი.
Wird Allah nicht Seinem Diener genügen? Dennoch wollen sie dir mit denjenigen, die es außer Ihm geben soll, Furcht einflößen. Und wen Allah in die Irre gehen lässt, so hat er keinen Rechtleiter.
Δε θα προστατέψει ο Αλλάχ (και δε θα υποστηρίξει) τον δούλο Του (τον Μωχάμμαντ); [Βεβαίως θα τον υποστηρίξει]! Σε εκφοβίζουν (οι ειδωλολάτρες) μ' εκείνους (τους ψεύτικους θεούς και τα είδωλά τους) που τους λατρεύουν εκτός από Αυτόν (ότι θα σε βλάψουν επειδή τους κατακρίνεις)! Πράγματι, όποιον τον κάνει ο Αλλάχ να παραστρατήσει, δεν υπάρχει κανείς που μπορεί να τον καθοδηγήσει.
क्या अल्लाह अपने बंदे के लिए काफ़ी नहीं है? तथा वे आपको उन (झूठे पूज्यों) से डराते हैं, जो उसके सिवा हैं। तथा जिसे अल्लाह राह से हटा दे, उसे कोई राह पर लाने वाला नहीं है।
Non è forse sufficiente Allāh per il Suo servo? E ti intimoriscono con quelli che Gli paragonano, e chi Allāh svia non troverà chi lo guidi,
36. Argi Allahas nėra Pakankamas Savo vergui? Tačiau jie bando išgąsdinti tave su tais (kuriuos jie garbina) šalia Jo. Ir ką Allahas paklaidina, tam nebus vedimo.

Разве Аллах не достаточен Своему рабу? А они пугают тебя теми, которые помимо Него. Кого Аллах введёт в заблуждение — тому нет наставляющего [на путь].
Зар Аллах није Свом слуги довољан?! А они те плаше онима које, поред Њега, обожавају. Онога коме да Аллах да је у заблуди - нико не може да га упути на Прави пут.
Je, Mwenyezi Mungu si wa kumtosheleza mja wake? Na ati wanakutishia kwa hao wenginewe wasiokuwa Yeye! Na aliyepotezwa na Mwenyezi Mungu, basi hana wa kumwongoa.
Är inte Gud fullt tillräcklig för sin tjänare? Ändå försöker de hota dig med de [falska gudar som de tillber] vid hans sida! Den som Gud låter gå vilse har ingen som kan leda honom rätt.
Allah, kuluna yetmez mi? Seni O’ndan (Allah’tan) başkalarıyla korkutmaya çalışıyorlar. Allah, kimi saptırırsa artık onun için bir yol gösterici yoktur.
کیا اللہ تعالیٰ اپنے بندے کے لیے کافی نہیں[1] ؟ یہ لوگ آپ کو اللہ کے سوا اوروں سے ڈرا رہے ہیں اور جسے اللہ گمراه کر دےاس کی رہنمائی کرنے واﻻ کوئی نہیں.[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.

And whomever God guides, for him there is no misleader. Is God not Powerful and Vengeful?
And he whom Allah guideth, for him there can be no misleader. Is not Allah Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong)
But he whom God leads astray there is no guide for him; and he whom God guides there is none to lead him astray: is not God mighty, the Lord of vengeance
And he whom God guideth shall have none to mislead him. Is not God, all-mighty, able to revenge
And he whom God shall direct, shall have none to mislead him. Is not God most mighty, able to avenge

And if you asked them, "Who created the heavens and the earth?" they would say, "God." Say, "Have you seen those you pray to instead of God? If God willed any harm for me, can they lift His harm? And if He willed a blessing for me, can they hold back His mercy?" Say, "God suffices for me. On Him the reliant rely."
And verily, if thou shouldst ask them: Who created the heavens and the earth? they will say: Allah. Say: Bethink you then of those ye worship beside Allah, if Allah willed some hurt for me, could they remove from me His hurt; or if He willed some mercy for me, could they restrain His mercy? Say: Allah is my all. In Him do (all) the trusting put their trust
And if thou shouldst ask them who created the heavens and the earth, they will surely say, 'God!' Say, 'Have ye considered what ye call on beside God? If God wished me harm, could they remove His harm? or did He wish me mercy, could they withhold His mercy?' Say, 'God is enough for me, and on Him rely those who rely
And if thou ask them who hath created the Heavens and the Earth, they will surely answer, God. SAY: Think ye, then, that they on whom ye call beside God, if God choose to afflict me, could remove his affliction? or if he choose to show me mercy, could they withhold His mercy? SAY: God sufficeth me: in Him let the trusting trust
If thou ask them who hath created the heavens and the earth, they will surely answer, God. Say, do ye think therefore that the deities which ye invoke besides God, if God be pleased to afflict me, are able to relieve me from his affliction? Or if he be pleased to shew mercy unto me, that they are able to withhold his mercy? Say, God is my sufficient support: In him let those put their trust, who seek in whom to confide

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 — 0.68 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.
