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.
Those who disbelieve and repel from God's path have gone far astray.

Pa dyshim, ata që nuk besojnë, por pengojnë (të tjerët) nga rruga e Allahut, kanë humbur shumë larg së vërtetës.
নিশ্চয় যারা কুফরী করেছে এবং আল্লাহর পথ থেকে বাঁধা দিয়েছে, তারা অবশ্যই সত্য থেকে অনেক দূরে পথভ্রষ্ট হয়েছে।
Doista, oni koji ne vjeruju i koji druge od Allahova puta odvraćaju, daleko su zalutali.
Doista, oni koji ne vjeruju i koji druge od Allahova puta odvraćaju, daleko su zalutali.

ჭეშმარიტად, ისინი, რომლებიც ურწმუნონი გახდნენ და (ადამიანებს) აცილებდნენ ალლაჰის გზას [ისლამს], ძლიერ შორს წასული (ჭეშმარიტებისგან დაშორებული) შეცდომით შეცდნენ.
Wahrlich, diejenigen, die ungläubig sind und vom Weg Allahs abhalten, sind gewiss weit abgeirrt.
Πράγματι, εκείνοι που αρνούνται την πίστη (σ' εσένα, ω, Προφήτη) και εμποδίζουν τους άλλους από τον δρόμο του Αλλάχ (το Ισλάμ), έχουν παραστρατήσει πολύ μακριά.
निःसंदेह जिन लोगों ने कुफ़्र किया और अल्लाह की राह[103] से रोका, निश्चय वे गुमराह होकर बहुत दूर जा पड़े।
In verità quelli che non hanno creduto e impedirono la via di Allāh, quelli sono nella lontana perdizione.
167. Iš tiesų, tie, kurie netiki [slėpdami tiesą apie Pranašą Muchammedą ﷺ ir jo žinią apie tikrąjį islamiškąjį monoteizmą, aprašytą pas juos Taurate (Toroje) ir Indžylyje (Evangelijoje)] ir kliudo (žmonijai) nuo Allaho Kelio (islamiškojo monoteizmo). Jie be abejonės toli nuklydo.
Warri kafaranii karaa Rabbii irraa (nama) deebisan (islaamummarraa dhoorgan), dhugumatti isaan jallina fagoo ta’e jallataniiru.
Воистину, те, которые отвергли веру и отвращали от пути Аллаха, уже впали в глубокое заблуждение.
Заиста, они који не верују и који друге од Аллаховог пута одвраћају, далеко су залутали.
Hakika, wale waliokufuru na wakaizuilia Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu, hakika wamekwishapotea kupotea kwa mbali.
De som framhärdar i otro och hindrar andra från Guds väg har gått fullständigt vilse.
Şüphesiz inkâr edenler, insanları Allah yolundan alıkoyanlar derin bir sapıklığa düşmüşlerdir.
جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا اور اللہ تعالیٰ کی راه سے اوروں کو روکا وه یقیناً گمراہی میں دور نکل گئے۔
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.

Messengers delivering good news, and bringing warnings; so that people may have no excuse before God after the coming of the messengers. God is Powerful and Wise.
Messengers of good cheer and of warning, in order that mankind might have no argument against Allah after the messengers. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise

Apostles charged to announce and to warn, that men, after those apostles, might have no plea against God. And God is Mighty, Wise
apostles declaring good tidings, and denouncing threats, lest men should have an argument of excuse against God, after the apostles had been sent unto them; God is mighty and wise

But God bears witness to what He revealed to you. He revealed it with His knowledge. And the angels bear witness. Though God is a sufficient witness.
But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath revealeth unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the angels also testify. And Allah is sufficient Witness
But God bears witness to what He has revealed to thee: He revealed it in His knowledge, and the angels bear witness too; though God is witness enough

Those who disbelieve and transgress; God is not about to forgive them, nor will He guide them to any path.
Lo! those who disbelieve and deal in wrong, Allah will never forgive them, neither will He guide them unto a road
Verily those who misbelieve and are unjust, God will not pardon them, nor will He guide them on the road
Verily, those who believe not, and act wrongfully, God will never pardon, and never will he guide them on path
Verily those who believe not, and act unjustly, God will by no means forgive, neither will He direct them into any other way

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.
