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.
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.

იტყვიან: «ჩვენო უფალო! შენ ორჯერ მოგვკალი და ორჯერ გაგვაცოცხლე. ჩვენ ვაღიარეთ ჩვენი ცოდვები. ნუთუ არ არსებობს გამოსავალი (ჯოჯოხეთიდან), (რომ დავბრუნდეთ მიწიერ სიცოცხლეში, რათა ვიცხოვროთ შენი მორჩილებით)?»
Sie sagen: „Unser Herr, Du hast uns zweimal sterben lassen und zweimal lebendig gemacht. So gestehen wir unsere Sünden ein. Gibt es denn einen Weg, (hier) herauszukommen?“
(Οι άπιστοι) θα πουν: «Κύριέ μας! Μας έκανες να πεθάνουμε δύο φορές, και μας έφερες στη ζωή δύο φορές, και τώρα αναγνωρίζουμε τις αμαρτίες μας. Υπάρχει κάποια διέξοδος για να βγούμε (από την Κόλαση και να πράξουμε καλές πράξεις);»
वे कहेंगे : ऐ हमारे पालनहार! तूने हमें दो बार मारा[3] तथा दो बार जीवित किया। अब हमने अपने पापों को स्वीकार किया। तो क्या (यहाँ से) निकलने का कोई रास्ता है?
Dissero: «Dio nostro, ci hai fatto morire due volte e due volte ci hai dato la vita; abbiamo riconosciuto i nostri peccati: c’è forse una via d’uscita?»
11. Jie sakys: „Mūsų Viešpatie, Tu privertei mus mirti du kartus (t. y. mes mirėme mūsų tėvų strėnose ir mirėme po mūsų gyvenimo šiame pasaulyje), ir Tu suteikei mums gyvenimą du kartus (t. y. gyvenimą, kai mes gimėme, ir gyvenimą, kai mes buvome Prikelti).

Они скажут: «Господь наш! Ты умертвил нас дважды и оживил нас дважды, и мы признались в своих грехах. Так есть ли какой-либо путь к выходу?»
„Господару наш“, рећи ће они, „два пута си нас усмртио и два пута си нас оживео; ми признајемо наше грехе, па има ли каквог начина за излазак из Ватре?“
Watasema: Mola wetu Mlezi! Umetufisha mara mbili, na umetuhuisha mara mbili! Basi tunakiri madhambi yetu. Basi je, ipo njia yoyote ya kutoka?
De ska säga: ”Herre! Två gånger har du låtit oss vara livlösa och två gånger har du skänkt oss liv. Nu bekänner vi våra fel – finns det någon väg ut?”
Onlar da şöyle derler: “Ey Rabbimiz! Bizi iki defa öldürdün, iki defa da dirilttin. Günahlarımızı kabulleniyoruz. Şimdi (bu ateşten) bir çıkış yolu var mı?''
وه کہیں گے اے ہمارے پروردگار! تو نے ہمیں دوبار مارا اور دو بار ہی جلایا[1] ، اب ہم اپنے گناہوں کے اقراری ہیں[2]، تو کیا اب کوئی راه نکلنے کی بھی ہے؟[3]
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.

And ward off from them ill-deeds; and he from whom Thou wardest off ill-deeds that day, him verily hast Thou taken into mercy. That is the supreme triumph

Those who disbelieved will be addressed, "The loathing of God is greater than your loathing of yourselves-for you were invited to the faith, but you refused."
Lo! (on that day) those who disbelieve are informed by proclamation: Verily Allah's abhorrence is more terrible than your abhorrence one of another, when ye were called unto the faith but did refuse
Verily, those who misbelieve shall be cried out to, 'Surely, God's hatred is greater than your hatred of each other when ye were called unto the faith and misbelieved
But to the infidels shall a voice cry, "Surely the hatred of God is more grievous than your hatred of yourselves, when ye were called to the faith, and remained unbelievers
But the infidels, at the day of judgment, shall hear a voice crying unto them, verily the hatred of God towards you is more grievous than your hatred towards yourselves: Since ye were called unto the faith, and would not believe

The translators word this verse differently
That is because when God alone was called upon, you disbelieved; but when others were associated with Him, you believed. Judgment rests with God the Sublime, the Majestic.
(It is said unto them): This is (your plight) because, when Allah only was invoked, ye disbelieved, but when some partner was ascribed to Him ye were believing. But the command belongeth only to Allah, the Sublime, the Majestic
That is because when God alone was proclaimed ye did disbelieve; but when partners were joined to Him ye did believe; but judgment belongs to God, the high, the great
This hath befallen you, for that when One God was proclaimed to you, ye believed not: but when partners had been united with him, ye believed: But judgment belongeth unto God, the High, the Great
And it shall be answered them, this hath befallen you, for that when one God was preached unto you, ye believed not; but if a plurality of gods had been associated with Him, ye had believed: And judgment belongeth unto the high, the great God

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 — 0.52 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.
