And warn them of the Day of Imminence, when the hearts are at the throats, choking them. The evildoers will have no intimate friend, and no intercessor to be obeyed.

আর হে রাসূল! তুমি তাদের আসন্ন দিন সম্পর্কে সতর্ক করে দাও; যখন দুঃখ, কষ্ট সংবরণ অবস্থায় তাদের প্রাণ কণ্ঠাগত হবে। যালিমদের জন্য নেই কোন অন্তরঙ্গ বন্ধু, নেই কোন সুপারিশকারী যার সুপারিশ গ্রাহ্য করা হবে।

Und warne sie vor dem Tag der immer näher kommenden (Stunde des Gerichts), an dem die Herzen (vor Angst) in den Kehlen sitzen und sie unterdrücken (ihren Grimm), an dem die Ungerechten weder einen warmherzigen Freund noch einen Fürsprecher haben, dem man gehorchen würde.
Προειδοποίησέ τους (ω, Προφήτη) για την Ημέρα που πλησιάζει, κατά την οποία οι καρδιές θα φτάσουν στο λαιμό (από το φόβο), και θα είναι (οι άνθρωποι) σιωπηλοί (και γεμάτοι αγωνία), και δε θα υπάρχει για τους άδικους ούτε κανένας στενός φίλος, ούτε κανένας μεσολαβητής του οποίου τα λόγια να ακουστούν.
तथा आप उन्हें निकट आने वाले (क़ियामत के) दिन से सावधान कर दें, जब शोक से भरे हुए दिल गले को आ पहुँचेंगे। अत्याचारियों का न कोई मित्र होगा, न कोई सिफ़ारिशी जिसकी बात मानी जाए।
E avvertili del giorno del Giudizio quando, atterriti, gli salteranno i cuori in gola: non ci sarà per i malfattori amico, né intercessore affidabile.

Nebus jokio draugo, nei tarpininko Zalimūn (daugiadieviams ir bloga darantiesiems), kuris galėtų atkreipti dėmesį.

И предостереги их о приближающемся Дне, когда сердца подступят к горлу, и они будут полны скорби. Нет для несправедливых ни близкого друга, ни заступника, которого бы послушались.
И упозори их на блиски дан, када ће срца до гркљана да допру и попрече се, када неверници неће имати ни блиског пријатеља ни посредника чији заговор би био услишан.
Na waonye siku inayokurubia, wakati nyoyo zitakapofika kooni, nao wamejaa huzuni. Madhalimu hawatakuwa na rafiki, wala mwombezi wa kuitikiwa.
Varna dem för den hastigt annalkande dag då deras hjärtan stiger upp i halsen och [deras skräck] kväver dem. De orättfärdiga ska då varken ha någon förtrogen vän eller någon vars förbön hörsammas.
Onları, yaklaşmakta olan güne karşı uyarıp korkut; o zaman yürekler gırtlaklara dayanır, yutkunur dururlar. Zalimler için ne koruyucu bir dost, ne de sözü dinlenir bir şefaatçi vardır.
اور انہیں بہت ہی قریب آنے والی[1] (قیامت سے) آگاه کر دیجئے، جب کہ دل حلق تک پہنچ جائیں گے اور سب خاموش ہوں گے[2]، ﻇالموں کا نہ کوئی دلی دوست ہوگا نہ سفارشی، کہ جس کی بات مانی جائے گی.
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 Day when they will emerge, nothing about them will be concealed from God. "To whom does the sovereignty belong today?" "To God, the One, the Irresistible."
The day when they come forth, nothing of them being hidden from Allah. Whose is the Sovereignty this day? It is Allah's, the One, the Almighty
The day when they shall be issuing forth, naught concerning them shall be hidden from God. Whose is the kingdom on that day?- God's, the one, the dominant
The day when they shall come forth from their graves, when nought that concerneth them shall be hidden from God. With whom shall be the power supreme on that day? With God, the One, the Almighty
the day whereon they shall come forth out of their graves, and nothing of what concerneth them shall be hidden from God. Unto Whom will the kingdom belong, on that day? Unto the only, the almighty God

On that Day, every soul will be recompensed for what it had earned. There will be no injustice on that Day. God is quick to settle accounts.
This day is each soul requited that which it hath earned; no wrong (is done) this day. Lo! Allah is swift at reckoning
today shall every soul be recompensed for that which it has earned. There is no wrong today; verily, God is quick at reckoning up
On that day shall every soul be recompensed as it hath deserved: no injustice on that day! Verily, God will be swift to reckon

God judges with justice, while those whom they invoke besides Him cannot judge with anything. It is God who is the Hearing, the Seeing.
Allah judgeth with truth, while those to whom they cry instead of Him judge not at all. Lo! Allah, He is the Hearer, the Seer
and God decides with truth; but those they call on beside Him do not decide at all: verily, God, He both hears and looks
And everything will God decide with truth: But nothing shall those gods whom men call on beside him, decide. Verily, God! the Hearer, the Beholder, He
and God will judge with truth: But the false gods which they invoke, besides Him, shall not judge at all; for God is He who heareth and seeth

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.
