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.
God intends to redeem you, but those who follow their desires want you to turn away utterly.

One row, two verses Rodwell prints canon verses 27 and 28 as a single row, numbered 28 in his edition. The same row is shown at both, under his name. It is one rendering standing where his printing put it, not a rendering of this verse alone.
God desireth thus to turn him unto you: but they who follow their own lusts, desire that with great swerving should ye swerve! God desireth to make your burden light: for man hath been created weak

Allahu dëshiron t'jua pranojë pendimin, ndërsa ata që ndjekin epshet dëshirojnë që ju të shmangeni fort (nga rruga e drejtë).
আর আল্লাহ তোমাদের তাওবা কবুল ও তোমাদের গুনাহসমূহ ক্ষমা করতে চান। আর যারা কুপ্রবৃত্তির অনুসরণ করে তারা চায় যে, তোমরা চরমভাবে বিচ্যুত হও।
Allah vam želi oprostiti, a oni koji se za strastima svojim povode žele da daleko skrenete.
Allah vam želi oprostiti, a oni koji se za strastima svojim povode žele da daleko skrenete.
Alla no Faala de O Jaɓanta on tuubuubuyee, ɓeen jokkuɓe beleeɗe faalaa de ooñorton ooñannde mawnde.
და ალლაჰს სურს მიიღოს თქვენი სინანული [გაპატიოთ თქვენი ცოდვები], ხოლო ისინი, რომლებიც თავიანთ ვნებებს მისდევენ, სურთ, რომ თქვენ დიდი გადახრით გადაუხვიოთ (ჭეშმარიტი რწმენისგან).
Und Allah will ja eure Reue annehmen; diejenigen aber, die den Begierden folgen, wollen, dass ihr (vom rechten Weg) vollkommen abweicht.
Ο Αλλάχ θέλει να δεχτεί τη μεταμέλειά σας (ω, πιστοί), ενώ εκείνοι που ακολουθούν τους πόθους (τους), επιθυμούν να παρεκκλίνετε πολύ (από τον ίσιο δρόμο).
और अल्लाह तो यह चाहता है कि तुम्हारी तौबा क़बूल करे तथा जो लोग इच्छाओं के पीछे पड़े हुए हैं, वे चाहते हैं कि तुम (हिदायत के मार्ग से) बहुत दूर हट[25] जाओ।
E Allāh vuole perdonarvi, ma quelli che seguono i piaceri vogliono che voi facciate una grande deviazione.
27. Allahas nori priimti jūsų atgailą, tačiau tie, kurie seka savo geiduliais, trokšta, kad jūs (tikintieji) toli nukryptumėte (nuo Teisingo Kelio).
Rabbiin tawbaa keessan qeebaluu (isinitti araaramuu) fedha. Warri fedha lubbuu isaanii hordofan immoo isin jallina guddaa jallachuu fedhu.[16]
Аллах желает принять ваше покаяние, а те, которые следуют страстям, желают, чтобы вы отклонились от истины самым пагубным образом.
Аллах жели да вам опрости, а они који се за страстима својим поводе желе да далеко скренете.
Na Mwenyezi Mungu anataka kuwakubalia toba zenu, na wale wanaofuata matamanio wanataka kwamba mjipinde kujipinda kukubwa.
Gud vill ta emot er ånger, men de som följer sina begär vill att ni ska avvika kraftigt.
Allah, sizin tevbenizi kabul etmek istiyor. Şehvetlerine uyanlar ise sizin büyük bir sapıklığa düşmenizi istiyorlar.
اور اللہ چاہتا ہے کہ تمہاری توبہ قبول کرے اور جو لوگ خواہشات کے پیرو ہیں وه چاہتے ہیں کہ تم اس سے بہت دور ہٹ جاؤ۔[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.

The translators word this verse differently
If any of you lack the means to marry free believing women, he may marry one of the believing maids under your control. God is well aware of your faith. You are from one another. Marry them with the permission of their guardians, and give them their recompense fairly-to be protected-neither committing adultery, nor taking secret lovers. When they are married, if they commit adultery, their punishment shall be half that of free women. That is for those among you who fear falling into decadence. But to practice self-restraint is better for you. God is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
But whosoever of you cannot go the length of marrying marriageable women who believe, then take of what your right hands possess, of your maidens who believe;- though God knows best about your faith. Ye come one from the other; then marry them with the permission of their people, and give them their hire in reason, they being chaste and not fornicating, and not receivers of paramours. But when they are married, if they commit fornication, then inflict upon them half the penalty for married women; that is for whomsoever of you fears wrong; but that ye should have patience is better for you, and God is forgiving and merciful
And whoever of you is not rich enough to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of your believing maidens as have fallen into your hands as slaves; God well knoweth your faith. Ye are sprung the one from the other. Marry them, then, with the leave of their masters, and give them a fair dower: but let them be chaste and free from fornication, and not entertainers of lovers
Whoso among you hath not means sufficient that he may marry free women, who are believers, let him marry with such of your maid-servants whom your right hands possess, as are true believers; for God well knoweth your faith. Ye are the one from the other: Therefore marry them with the consent of their masters; and give them their dower according to justice; such as are modest, not guilty of whoredom, nor entertaining lovers. And when they are married, if they be guilty of adultery, they shall suffer half the punishment which is appointed for the free women. This is allowed unto him among you, who feareth to sin by marrying free women; but if ye abstain from marrying slaves, it will be better for you; God is 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 — 0.72 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.
