Talal Itani· published 2012
The People of the Scripture challenge you to bring down to them a book from the sky. They had asked Moses for something even greater. They said, "Show us God plainly." The thunderbolt struck them for their wickedness. Then they took the calf for worship, even after the clear proofs had come to them. Yet We pardoned that, and We gave Moses a clear authority.

The people of the Scripture ask of thee that thou shouldst cause an (actual) Book to descend upon them from heaven. They asked a greater thing of Moses aforetime, for they said: Show us Allah plainly. The storm of lightningseized them for their wickedness. Then (even) after that) they chose the calf (for worship) after clear proofs (of Allah'sSovereignty) had come unto them. And We forgave them that! And We bestowed on Moses evident authority

The people of the Book will ask thee to bring down for them a book from heaven; but they asked Moses a greater thing than that, for they said, 'Show us God openly;' but the thunderbolt caught them in their injustice. Then they took the calf, after what had come to them of manifest signs; but we pardoned that, and gave Moses obvious authority

Ithtarët e Librit[13] kërkojnë prej teje t'u zbresësh një libër nga qielli. Në të vërtetë, ata i kërkuan Musait diçka edhe më të madhe, kur thanë: "Na e trego Allahun haptazi!" Atëherë i goditi rrufeja për shkak të padrejtësisë së tyre. Madje, ata e adhuruan viçin pasi u erdhën dëshmitë e qarta, por ne ua falëm atë dhe i dhamë Musait dëshmi të qartë (kundër tyre).

Die Leute der Schrift fragen dich (vorschlagend), dass du zu ihnen vom Himmel ein Buch herabkommen lässt. Sie haben von Musa bereits etwas noch Größeres als das verlangt, denn sie sagten: „Zeige uns Allah unverhüllt!“. Da ergriff sie der Donnerschlag wegen ihrer Ungerechtigkeit. Hierauf nahmen sie das Kalb an, nachdem die klaren Beweise sie erreichten. Aber Wir verziehen es und gaben Musa deutliche Macht.

(Μην εκπλήσσεσαι, ω, Προφήτη, αφού οι πρόγονοί τους) είχαν ζητήσει από τον Μωυσή κάτι μεγαλύτερο απ' αυτό, όταν είπαν: «Δείξε μας τον Αλλάχ φανερά!» Έτσι, τους χτύπησε η φωτιά (από τον ουρανό) λόγω της αδικίας τους. Έπειτα (τους ανέστησε ο Αλλάχ από το έλεος και τη γενναιοδωρία Του, αλλά εκείνοι αντί να είναι ευγνώμονες) πήραν το μοσχάρι για λατρεία παρόλο που είχαν λάβει ξεκάθαρα σημάδια (που τους διέταζαν να λατρεύουν μόνο τον Αλλάχ). Αλλά συγχωρήσαμε αυτό (μετά από τη μεταμέλειά τους) και δώσαμε στον Μωυσή μια μεγάλη απόδειξη (που επιβεβαιώνει την αποστολή του, και ένα επιχείρημα ενάντια του λαού του).

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.

About easy-read
Easy-read
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.
Talal Itani2012 As for those who believe in God and His messengers, and make no distinction between any of them-He will give them their rewards. God is Forgiver and Merciful.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 But those who believe in Allah and His messengers and make no distinction between any of them, unto them Allah will give their wages; and Allah was ever Forgiving, Merciful
Edward Henry Palmer1880 But those who believe in God and His apostles, and who do not make a distinction between any one of them,- to these we will give their hire, for God is forgiving and merciful
John Medows Rodwell1861 And they who believe on God and his Apostles, and make no difference between them these! we will bestow on them their reward at last. God is Gracious, Merciful
George Sale1734 But they who believe in God and his apostles, and make no distinction between any of them, unto those will we surely give their reward; and God is gracious and merciful
Talal Itani2012 And We raised the Mount above them in accordance with their covenant, and We said to them, "Enter the gate humbly", and We said to them, "Do not violate the Sabbath", and We received from them a solemn pledge.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 And We caused the Mount to tower above them at (the taking of) their covenant: and We bade them: Enter the gate, prostrate! and We bode them: Transgress not the Sabbath! and We took from them a firm covenant
Edward Henry Palmer1880 And we held over them the mountain at their compact, and said to them, 'Enter ye the door adoring;' and we said to them, 'Transgress not on the Sabbath day,' and we took from them a rigid compact
John Medows Rodwell1861 And we uplifted the mountain over them when we made a covenant with them, and we said to them, "Enter the gate adoring:"and we said to them, "Transgress not on the Sabbath," and we received from them a strict covenant
George Sale1734 And we lifted the mountain of Sinai over them, when we exacted from them their covenant; and said unto them, enter the gate of the city worshipping. We also said unto them, transgress not on the sabbath day. And we received from them a firm covenant, that they would observe these things
Talal Itani2012 But for their violation of their covenant, and their denial of God's revelations, and their killing of the prophets unjustly, and their saying, "Our minds are closed." In fact, God has sealed them for their disbelief, so they do not believe, except for a few.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 Then because of their breaking of their covenant, and their disbelieving in the revelations of Allah, and their slaying of the prophets wrongfully, and their saying: Our hearts are hardened - Nay, but Allah set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so that they believe not save a few
Edward Henry Palmer1880 But for that they broke their compact, and for their misbelief in God's signs, and for their killing the prophets undeservedly, and for their saying, 'Our hearts are uncircumcised,' - nay, God hath stamped on them their misbelief, so that they cannot believe except a few
John Medows Rodwell1861 So, for that they have broken their covenant, and have rejected the signs of God, and have put the prophets to death unjustly, saying the while, "Our hearts are uncircumcised," - Nay, but God hath sealed them up for their unbelief, so that but few believe
George Sale1734 Therefore for that they have made void their covenant, and have not believed in the signs of God, and have slain the prophets unjustly, and have said, our hearts are uncircumcised; -- but God hath sealed them up, because of their unbelief; therefore they shall not believe, except a few of them

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
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.
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.
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.

(2) Rodwell's own edition PRESENTS THE SURAHS IN HIS OWN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, not the mushaf order — he says so in his preface.

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.
