O die ihr glaubt, zehrt nicht euren Besitz untereinander auf nichtige Weise auf, es sei denn, dass es sich um einen Handel in gegenseitigem Einvernehmen handelt. Und tötet euch nicht selbst (und auch nicht gegenseitig). Wahrlich, Allah ist barmherzig euch gegenüber.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Μην κατατρώτε την περιουσία σας ανάμεσά σας (ο ένας του άλλου) άδικα, εκτός αν είναι από εμπόριο μεταξύ σας (με δίκαιο τρόπο και) με αμοιβαία συναίνεση. Και μη σκοτώνετε τους εαυτούς σας (δηλ. μη σκοτώνετε ο ένας τον άλλον, ούτε να αυτοκτονείτε, ούτε να ρίξετε τον εαυτό σας στην καταστροφή). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Πολυεύσπλαχνος για σας.
ऐ ईमान वालो! आपस में एक-दूसरे का धन अवैध रूप से न खाओ, सिवाय इसके कि वह तुम्हारी आपसी सहमति से कोई व्यापार हो। तथा अपने आपको क़त्ल[27] न करो। निःसंदेह अल्लाह तुमपर अति दयावान् है।
O credenti, non consumate tutti i vostri beni tra di voi, ingiustamente, tranne nel caso di un commercio di comune accordo. E non uccidete voi stessi: Allāh è in verità Misericordioso con voi.

О вы, которые уверовали! Не присваивайте имущество друг друга неправым путём, разве что это будет торговля по взаимному согласию между вами. И не убивайте самих себя. Воистину, Аллах всегда был [и пребудет] к вам милующим.
О ви који верујете, једни од других на недозвољен начин имања не присвајајте, осим трговином уз обострани пристанак, и сами себе не убијајте. Аллах је, заиста, према вама милостив.

Ey iman edenler! Mallarınızı aranızda batıl yollarla yemeyin. Ancak karşılıklı rıza ile yapılan ticaretle olursa başka. Kendinizi helâk etmeyin. Şüphesiz Allah, size karşı çok merhametlidir.
اے ایمان والو! اپنے آپس کے مال ناجائز طریقہ سے مت کھاؤ[1] ، مگر یہ کہ تمہاری آپس کی رضا مندی سے ہو خرید وفروخت[2]، اور اپنے آپ کو قتل نہ کرو[3] یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ تم پر نہایت مہربان 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.

God intends to redeem you, but those who follow their desires want you to turn away utterly.
And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray
God wishes to turn towards you, but those who follow their lusts wish that ye should swerve with a mighty swerving
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
God desireth to be gracious unto you; but they who follow their lusts, desire that ye should turn aside from the truth with great deviation

Whoever does that, out of hostility and wrongdoing, We will cast him into a Fire. And that would be easy for God.
Whoso doeth that through aggression and injustice, we shall cast him into Fire, and that is ever easy for Allah
But whoso does that maliciously and unjustly, we will broil him with fire; for that is easy with God
And whoever shall do this maliciously and wrongfully, we will in the end cast him into the fire; for this is easy with God
And whoever doth this maliciously and wickedly, he will surely cast him to be broiled in hell fire; and this is easy with God

If ye avoid the great sins which ye are forbidden, we will blot out your faults, and we will cause you to enter Paradise with honourable entry
If ye turn aside from the grievous sins, of those which ye are forbidden to commit, we will cleanse you from your smaller faults; and will introduce you into paradise with an honourable entry

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 — 0.66 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.
