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.
They hide from the people, but they cannot hide from God. He is with them, as they plot by night with words He does not approve. God comprehends what they do.

তারামানুষের কাছ থেকে গোপন করতে চায়; কিন্তু আল্লাহর কাছ থেকে গোপন করতে পারবে না। তিনি তাদের সাথেই আছেন, যখন তারা রাতে এমন কথার পরিকল্পনা করে, যা তিনি পছন্দ করেন না। আর তারা যা কিছু করে, আল্লাহ তা পরিবেষ্টন করে আছেন।
Oni se kriju od ljudi, a ne kriju se od Allaha, a On je s njima i kada noću smišljaju riječi kojima On nije zadovoljan. A Allah sve što oni rade, obuhvata.

ისინი იმალებიან ადამიანებისგან (ეშინიათ, რომ მათი ცუდი საქმეები გამოაშკარავდება), მაგრამ არ იმალებიან ალლაჰისგან. რადგან იგი მათთანაა თავისი ცოდნით, როცა ღამით ფარულად თათბირობენ იმ სიტყვებზე, რომლითაც იგი კმაყოფილი არ არის. და ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი მოიცავს იმას, რასაც ისინი აკეთებენ.
Sie verbergen sich vor den Menschen; verbergen sich jedoch nicht vor Allah, wo Er doch bei ihnen ist, wenn sie an Worten aushecken, womit Er nicht zufrieden ist. Und Allah umfasst, was sie tun.
Κρύβονται (και ντρέπονται) από τους ανθρώπους, και δεν κρύβονται (ούτε ντρέπονται) από τον Αλλάχ, ενώ (ο Αλλάχ) τους βλέπει όταν σχεδίασαν κρυφά το βράδυ τέτοια λόγια (δηλ. να ορκιστούν ότι ο Τού‘μα δεν έκλεψε και να κατηγορήσουν τον Εβραίο με λόγια) που δεν δέχεται (ο Αλλάχ). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ περιβάλλει (με τη Γνώση Του) όλα όσα κάνουν.
वे लोगों से छिपते हैं, परंतु अल्लाह से नहीं छिपते। हालाँकि वह उनके साथ होता है, जब वे रात में उस बात की गुप्त योजना बनाते हैं, जिससे वह प्रसन्न नहीं[73] होता। तथा वे जो कुछ करते हैं, अल्लाह उसे घेरे हुए है।
Si nascondono dalla gente e non si nascondono da Allāh, e Lui è con loro quando si scambiano di notte le dicerie, e Allāh circonda ciò che fanno.
108. Jie gali paslėpti (savo nusikaltimus) nuo žmonių, tačiau jie negali paslėpti (jų) nuo Allaho, nes Jis yra su jais (Savo Žinojimu), kai jie naktį planuoja žodžiais tai, kam Jis nepritaria. Ir Allahas visada apima viską, ką jie daro.

Они скрываются от людей, но не скрываются от Аллаха, хотя Он с ними, когда они тайно замышляют слова, которыми Он не доволен. Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] объемлющим то, что они делают.
Они се крију од људи, а не крију се од Аллаха, а Он је са њима и када ноћу смишљају речи којима Он није задовољан. А Аллах све што они раде, обухвата.
Wanawaficha watu, wala hawamfichi Mwenyezi Mungu, naye yu pamoja nao pale wanapopanga njama usiku kwa maneno asiyoyapenda. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ameyazingira vyema wanayoyatenda.
De gömmer sig för människor, men gömmer sig inte för Gud; och han är med dem när de i hemlighet säger saker som han inte är nöjd med. Gud omsluter allt de gör.
İnsanlardan gizlerler de Allah'tan gizlemezler. Hâlbuki onlar O'nun razı olmayacağı sözü, geceleyin konuşup düzenledikleri zaman da O onlarla beraberdi. Allah yapacakları her şeyi kuşatıcıdır.
وه لوگوں سے تو چھﭗ جاتے ہیں، (لیکن) اللہ تعالیٰ سے نہیں چھﭗ سکتے، وه راتوں کے وقت جب کہ اللہ کی ناپسندیده باتوں کے خفیہ مشورے کرتے ہیں اس وقت بھی اللہ ان کے پاس ہوتا ہے، ان کے تمام اعمال کو وه گھیرے ہوئے ہے۔
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 ask God for forgiveness. God is Forgiver and Merciful.
And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful
but ask God's pardon: verily, God is forgiving, merciful
and implore pardon of God. Verily, God is Forgiving, Merciful
but ask pardon of God for thy wrong intention, since God is indulgent and merciful

And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. God does not love the deceitful sinner.
And plead not on behalf of (people) who deceive themselves. Lo! Allah loveth not one who is treacherous and sinful
And wrangle not for those who defraud themselves; for God loves not him who is a fraudulent sinner
And plead not with us for those who are self-deceivers; for God loveth not him who is deceitful, criminal
Dispute not for those who deceive one another, for God loveth not him who is a deceiver or unjust

There you are, arguing on their behalf in the present life, but who will argue with God on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection? Or who will be their representative?
Ho! ye are they who pleaded for them in the life of the world. But who will plead with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will then be their defender
Here are ye, wrangling for them about this world's life;- but who shall wrangle with God for them on the day of judgment, or who shall be a guardian over them

Yet he who doth evil, or shall have acted against his own weal, and then shall ask pardon of God, will find God Forgiving, Merciful
Yet he who doth evil, or injureth his own soul, and afterwards asketh pardon of God, shall find God gracious and merciful

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 — 0.63 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.
