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.
Yes indeed! My Verses did come to you, but you called them lies, turned arrogant, and were of the faithless.

(Por do t'i thuhet): "Në të vërtetë, ty të erdhën ajetet e Mia, por ti i përgënjeshtrove, u tregove mendjemadh dhe ishe prej jobesimtarëve."
আল্লাহ বলবেনঃ হ্যাঁ, অবশ্যই তোমার কাছে আমার নিদর্শনাবলি এসেছিল, অতঃপর তুমি সেগুলোকে মিথ্যারোপ করেছিলে এবং তুমি অহংকার করেছিলে। আর তুমি কাফিরদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত ছিলে।

პირიქით, მოგივიდა შენ ჩემი აიათები, მაგრამ შენ ისინი სიცრუედ მიიჩნიე, გადიდგულდი და იყავი ურწმუნოთაგანი.
(Es wird dann zu ihm gesagt:) „Doch, Meine Zeichen sind ja zu dir gekommen. Da hast du sie für Lüge erklärt und dich hochmütig verhalten und warst einer der Ungläubigen.“
Όχι (δεν ισχύει αυτό που είπες ότι αν ο Αλλάχ σε είχε καθοδηγήσει προς τη θρησκεία Του, θα ήσουν από τους ευσεβείς), αλλά πράγματι ήρθαν σε σένα τα Εδάφιά Μου, αλλά τα διέψευσες και έδειξες αλαζονεία και ήσουν από τους άπιστους!
हाँ, तुम्हारे पास मेरी निशानियाँ आईं, तो तुमने उन्हें झुठला दिया और अभिमान किया तथा तुम थे ही काफ़िरों में से।
»Al contrario, ti sono arrivati i Miei segni e li hai negati e ti sei riempita di orgoglio e sei stata tra i miscredenti!»

Напротив. К тебе уже пришли Мои знамения, но ты счёл их ложью, превознёсся — и оказался из числа отвергших веру.
“Никад! Долазиле су ти поуке Моје, па си их порицао и охолио се, и неверник си био.”
Wapi! Bila ya shaka zilikujia Ishara zangu, nawe ukazikadhibisha, na ukajivuna, na ukawa miongoni mwa makafiri!
[På sådana ord blir svaret:] ”Nej! Mina tecken kom till dig men du avvisade dem, och i ditt högmod vägrade du tro!”
(Allah Teâlâ da, şöyle diyecek:) “Hayır, sana ayetlerim gerçekten gelmiş idi. Sen ise onları yalanlamış, büyüklenmiş ve kâfirlerden olmuş idin.”
ہاں (ہاں) بیشک تیرے پاس میری آیتیں پہنچ چکی تھیں جنہیں تونے جھٹلایا اور غرور وتکبر کیا اور تو تھا ہی کافروں میں.[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.

And God will save those who maintained righteousness to their place of salvation. No harm will touch them, nor will they grieve.
And Allah delivereth those who ward off (evil) because of their deserts. Evil toucheth them not, nor do they grieve

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 — 0.77 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.
