përveç rrugës së Xhehenemit, ku do të qëndrojnë përgjithmonë, gjë që për Allahun është e lehtë.
জাহান্নামের পথ ছাড়া(৬১); সেখানে তারা চিরস্থায়ী হবে এবং এটা আল্লাহর পক্ষে খুবই সহজ।
osim puta u Džehennem, u kojem će vječno i zauvijek ostati; to je Allahu lahko.
osim puta u Pakao, u kojem će vječno i zauvijek ostati; to je Allahu lako.
Si wanaa laawol Jahannama ngol, ko saasooɓe nder magge cay. ɗuum laatike newiiɗum e dow Alla.
გარდა ჯოჯოხეთის გზისა, რომელშიც ისინი დარჩებიან მარადიულად და სამუდამოდ. და ჭეშმარიტად, ეს ალლაჰისთვის ადვილია.
außer dem Weg zur Hölle, ewig verweilen sie darin. Und dies ist Allah ein Leichtes.
Εκτός από τον δρόμο της Κόλασης, όπου θα μείνουν εκεί για πάντα. Και αυτό είναι πολύ εύκολο για τον Αλλάχ.
सिवाय जहन्नम के मार्ग के, जिसमें वे सदा-सर्वदा रहने वाले हैं और यह सदा से अल्लाह के लिए बहुत आसान है।
tranne che al sentiero dell’Inferno, dove staranno in eterno, e ciò, per Allāh, sarà una cosa facile.

karaa jahannam malee, ishee keessa zalaalam jiraatoodha, Kun Rabbi irratti laafaa ta’eera.
кроме как на путь Геенны, где они пребудут вечно, навсегда. Это для Аллаха было [и пребудет] лёгким.
осим на пут у Пакао, у којем ће вечно и заувек да остану; то је Аллаху лако.
Isipokuwa njia ya Jahannam. Humo watadumu milele. Na hayo kwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni mepesi.
utom vägen till helvetet, där de ska förbli för evigt. Detta är lätt för Gud.
Cehennemin yolundan başkasına; ki onlar orada ebediyyen kalıcıdırlar. Bu ise Allah’a pek kolaydır.
بجز جہنم کی راه کے جس میں وه ہمیشہ ہمیشہ پڑے رہیں گے، اور یہ اللہ تعالیٰ پر بالکل آسان 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.
shown so it's never read alone

Those who disbelieve and repel from God's path have gone far astray.
Lo! those who disbelieve and hinder (others) from the way of Allah, they verily have wandered far astray
Verily, those who misbelieve and obstruct the way of God, have erred a wide error
Verily, they who believe not and pervert from the way of God, have indeed erred with error wide of truth
They who believe not, and turn aside others from the way of God, have erred in a wide mistake

The translators word this verse differently
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

O people! The Messenger has come to you with the truth from your Lord, so believe-that is best for you. But if you disbelieve, to God belongs everything in the heavens and the earth. God is Omniscient and Wise.

O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion, and do not say about God except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, is the Messenger of God, and His Word that He conveyed to Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His messengers, and do not say, "Three." Refrain-it is better for you. God is only one God. Glory be to Him-that He should have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and God is a sufficient Protector.
O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three" - Cease! (it is) better for you! - Allah is only One Allah. Far is it removed from His Transcendent Majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as Defender
O ye people of the Book! do not exceed in your religion, nor say against God aught save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, is but the apostle of God and His Word, which He cast into Mary and a spirit from Him; believe then in God and His apostles, and say not 'Three.' Have done! it were better for you. God is only one God, celebrated be His praise that He should beget a Son! His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth; and God sufficeth for a guardian
O ye people of the Book! overstep not bounds in your religion; and of God, speak only truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, is only an apostle of God, and his Word which he conveyed into Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from himself. Believe therefore in God and his apostles, and say not, "Three:" (there is a Trinity) - Forbear - it will be better for you. God is only one God! Far be it from His glory that He should have a son! His, whatever is in the Heavens, and whatever is in the Earth! And God is a sufficient Guardian
O ye who have received the scriptures, exceed not the just bounds in your religion, neither say of God any other than the truth. Verily Christ Jesus the son of Mary is the apostle of God, and his word, which he conveyed into Mary, and a spirit proceeding from him. Believe therefore in God, and his apostles, and say not, there are three Gods; forbear this; it will be better for you. God is but one God. Far be it from Him that He should have a son! Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in heaven and on earth; and God is a sufficient protector

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.61 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.
