And those who spend their money to be seen by people, and believe neither in God nor in the Last Day. Whoever has Satan as a companion-what an evil companion.

(Ai nuk i do) as ata që japin pasurinë e tyre sa për sy e faqe, ndërkohë që nuk e besojnë Allahun e as Ditën e Fundit. Ai që merr shejtanin për shok të ngushtë, sa shok të lig që ka marrë!
যারা মানুষকে দেখানোর জন্য তাদের ধন-সম্পদ ব্যয় করে এবং আল্লাহ ও শেষ দিবসে ঈমান আনে না। আর শয়তান যার সাথী হয়, সাথী হিসেবে সে কতইনা নিকৃষ্ট !
I oni koji troše imetke svoje pretvarajući se pred ljudima, a u Allaha i onaj svijet ne vjeruju. A kome je šejtan drug, to mu je zao drug.
I oni koji troše imetke svoje pretvarajući se pred ljudima, a u Allaha i onaj svijet ne vjeruju. A kome je đavao drug, to mu je zao drug.

და მათთვის, რომლებიც თავიანთ ქონებას ხარჯავენ ხალხის წინაშე თავის საჩვენებლად და არ სწამთ არც ალლაჰის და არც უკანასკნელი დღის. და ვისაც სატანა ჰყავს თანამგზავრად, — რა ცუდი თანამგზავრია იგი!
Und (die Strafe steht auch) diejenigen (zu), die ihren Besitz aus Augendienerei vor den Menschen ausgeben (und um gesehen zu werden), und weder an Allah noch an den Jüngsten Tag glauben; und wer den Satan zum Gesellen hat, der hat da einen bösen Gesellen.
Και (αυτό το μαρτύριο θα είναι επίσης και για) εκείνους που ξοδεύουν από τα πλούτη τους για να επιδεικνύονται στους ανθρώπους, ενώ δεν πιστεύουν στον Αλλάχ ούτε στην Έσχατη Ημέρα. Όποιος παίρνει τον Σατανά ως σύντροφο, πράγματι, έχει πάρει τον πιο άθλιο σύντροφο!
तथा जो लोग अपना धन, लोगों को दिखाने के लिए दान करते हैं और अल्लाह तथा अंतिम दिन पर ईमान नहीं रखते। तथा शैतान जिसका साथी हो, तो वह बहुत बुरा साथी[32] है।
E quelli che sprecano i loro averi con ostentazione davanti alla gente e non credono in Allāh e nell’Ultimo Giorno – e chi ha per compagno Satana ha un infausto compagno.
38. Ir (taip pat) tie, kurie leidžia iš savo nuosavybės, kad žmonės pamatytų, ir netiki Allahą ir Paskutiniąją Dieną [jie yra Šaitan (Šėtono) draugai], ir kurie laiko Šaitan (Šėtoną) artimu draugu, - taigi koks bjaurus draugas jis yra!

и тех, которые расходуют своё имущество напоказ людям и не веруют ни в Аллаха, ни в Последний день. Тот, чьим товарищем является шайтан, — скверен он как товарищ!
И они који троше имовине своје претварајући се пред људима, а у Аллаха и Будући свет не верују. А коме је ђаво друг, зао му је друг.
Na ambao hutoa mali zao ili kujionyesha kwa watu, wala hawamwamini Mwenyezi Mungu wala Siku ya Mwisho. Na yule ambaye Shetani amekuwa ndiye mwenza wake, basi ana mwenza mbaya mno.
och för de som ger av sina tillgångar för att bli sedda av människor, men som varken tror på Gud eller på den yttersta dagen. Den som har Satan till sin följeslagare har fått en usel följeslagare.
Onlar ki, Allah’a ve ahiret gününe iman etmedikleri halde, mallarını insanlara gösteriş için infak ederler. Şeytan kimin arkadaşı olmuşsa, o ne kötü bir arkadaştır.
اور جو لوگ اپنا مال لوگوں کے دکھاوے کے لئے خرچ کرتے ہیں اور اللہ تعالیٰ پر اور قیامت کے دن پر ایمان نہیں رکھتے اور جس کا ہم نشین اور ساتھی شیطان ہو[1] ، وه بدترین ساتھی 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.

Worship God, and ascribe no partners to Him, and be good to the parents, and the relatives, and the orphans, and the poor, and the neighbor next door, and the distant neighbor, and the close associate, and the traveler, and your servants. God does not love the arrogant showoff.
And serve Allah. Ascribe no thing as partner unto Him. (Show) kindness unto parents, and unto near kindred, and orphans, and the needy, and unto the neighbour who is of kin (unto you) and the neighbour who is not of kin, and the fellow-traveller and the wayfarer and (the slaves) whom your right hands possess. Lo! Allah loveth not such as are proud and boastful
And serve God, and do not associate aught with Him; and to your parents show kindness, and to kindred, and orphans, and the poor, and the neighbour who is akin, and the neighbour who is a stranger, and the companion who is strange, and the son of the road, and what your right hands possess, verily, God loves not him who is proud and boastful
Worship God, and join not aught with Him in worship. Be good to parents, and to kindred, and to orphans, and to the poor, and to a neighbour, whether kinsman or new-comer, and to a fellow traveller, and to the wayfarer, and to the slaves whom your right hands hold; verily, God loveth not the proud, the vain boaster
Serve God, and associate no creature with him; and shew kindness unto parents, and relations, and orphans, and the poor, and your neighbour who is of kin to you, and also your neighbour who is a stranger, and to your familiar companion, and the traveller, and the captives whom your right hands shall possess

The translators word this verse differently
Those who are stingy, and exhort people to stinginess, and conceal what God has given them from His bounty. We have prepared for the disbelievers a disgraceful punishment.
Who hoard their wealth and enjoin avarice on others, and hide that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty. For disbelievers We prepare a shameful doom
who are miserly and bid men be miserly too, and who hide what God has given them of His grace;- but we have prepared for the misbelievers shameful woe
Who are niggardly themselves, and bid others be niggards, and hide away what God of his bounty hath given them. We have made ready a shameful chastisement for the unbelievers
for God loveth not the proud or vainglorious, who are covetous, and recommend covetousness unto men, and conceal that which God of his bounty hath given them, -- we have prepared a shameful punishment for the unbelievers
4:38 — the verse above

The translators word this verse differently
What would they have lost, had they believed in God and the Last Day, and gave out of what God has provided for them? God knows them very well.
What have they (to fear) if they believe in Allah and the Last Day and spend (aright) of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them, when Allah is ever Aware of them (and all they do)
What harm would it do them if they believed in God and in the last day, and expended in alms of what God has provided them with? but God knows about them
But what blessedness would be theirs, if they should believe in God and in the last day, and bestow alms out of what God hath vouchsafed them; for God taketh knowledge of them
And what harm would befall them if they should believe in God, and the last day, and give alms out of that which God hath bestowed on them? Since God knoweth them who do this
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ وَإِن تَكُ حَسَنَةً يُضَٰعِفْهَا وَيُؤْتِ مِن لَّدُنْهُ أَجْرًا عَظِيمًا

God does not commit an atom's weight of injustice; and if there is a good deed, He doubles it, and gives from His Presence a sublime compensation.
Lo! Allah wrongeth not even of the weight of an ant; and if there is a good deed, He will double it and will give (the doer) from His presence an immense reward
Verily, God would not wrong by the weight of an atom; and if it's a good work, He will double it and bring from Himself a mighty hire
God truly will not wrong any one of the weight of a mote; and if there be any good deed, he will repay it doubly; and from his presence shall be given a great recompense
Verily God will not wrong any one even the weight of an ant: And if it be a good action, he will double it, and will recompense it in his sight with a great reward

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 — 0.53 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.
