The translators word this verse differently
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 judges with justice, while those whom they invoke besides Him cannot judge with anything. It is God who is the Hearing, the Seeing.

Allahu gjykon sipas drejtësisë, ndërsa ata të cilëve u luten përveç Tij, nuk gjykojnë fare. Vërtet, Allahu është Gjithëdëgjuesi, Gjithëvëzhguesi.
আর আল্লাহ ইনসাফ ভিত্তিক ফয়সালা করেন এবং তারা (মুশরিকরা) আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে যাদেরকে ডাকে, তারা কোন কিছুর বিচার-ফয়সালা করতে পারবে না। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বদ্রষ্টা।
Allah će po pravdi presuditi, a oni koje pored Njega mole – neće ni po čemu suditi. Allah je, zaista, Svečujući i Svevideći.

Allah ko goonga ñaawirta. Ɗi ɓe ndeewata ɗiin non, gaanin makko, hay hu'unde ɗi ñaawirtaa. Pellet, ko kaŋko woni Nanoowo, ji'oowo On.
ალლაჰი კი განსჯის (ადამიანებს შორის) ჭეშმარიტებით [სამართლიანად], ხოლო ისინი, ვისკენაც მიმართავენ (ევედრებიან), არაფერს წყვეტენ. ნამდვილად, ალლაჰი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმხედველია!
Und Allah entscheidet der Wahrheit entsprechend. Diejenigen aber, die sie anstatt Seiner anrufen, haben nichts zu entscheiden. Wahrlich, Allah ist der Allhörende und der Allsehende.
Ο Αλλάχ κρίνει με την αλήθεια, ενώ εκείνοι (οι ψεύτικοι θεοί) που τους επικαλούνται (οι ειδωλολάτρες και τους λατρεύουν) εκτός απ' Αυτόν, δεν μπορούν να κρίνουν τίποτε. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Ασ-Σαμί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-Μπασείρ (Αυτός που βλέπει τα πάντα).
अल्लाह ही सत्य (न्याय) के साथ निर्णय करता है तथा जिन्हें वे अल्लाह के अतिरिक्त पुकारते हैं, वे किसी भी चीज़ का निर्णय नहीं करते। निःसंदेह अल्लाह ही सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ देखने वाला है।
E Allāh giudica con giustizia, e quelli che invocano all’infuori di Lui non giudicano nulla. In verità Allāh è l’Ascoltatore, l’Osservatore.
20. Ir Allahas teisia teisingai, kai tie, kurių jie šaukiasi šalia Jo, negali nieko teisti. Iš tiesų, Allahas. Jis yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Matantis.
Rabbiin dhugaan murteessa. Warri Isaa gaditti isaan gabbaran homaa hin murteessanu. Rabbiin Isumatu dhagayaa, argaadha.
Аллах судит по справедливости, а те, к которым они взывают помимо Него, не судят ни в чём. Воистину, Аллах — Он Слышащий, Видящий.
Аллах ће по правди да пресуди, а они које поред Њега моле - неће ни по чему да суде. Аллах, заиста, све чује и све види.
Na Mwenyezi Mungu huhukumu kwa haki; lakini hao ambao wao wanawaomba badala yake hawahukumu chochote. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye Mwenye kusikia, Mwenye kuona.
Guds dom är rättvis, medan de som [avgudadyrkarna] åkallar vid hans sida inte förmår att döma. Gud hör allt, ser allt.
Allah, hak ve adaletle hükmeder. Allah’tan başka taptıkları ise hiçbir hükümde bulunamazlar. Şüphesiz Allah; hakkıyla işitendir, hakkıyla görendir.
اور اللہ تعالیٰ ٹھیک ٹھیک فیصلہ کر دے گا اس کے سوا جنہیں یہ لوگ پکارتے ہیں وه کسی چیز کا بھی فیصلہ نہیں کرسکتے[1] ، بیشک اللہ تعالیٰ خوب سنتا خوب دیکھتا 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.

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.
Warn them (O Muhammad) of the Day of the approaching (doom), when the hearts will be choking the throats, (when) there will be no friend for the wrong-doers, nor any intercessor who will be heard
And warn them of the day that approaches, when hearts are choking in the gullets; those who do wrong shall have no warm friend, and no intercessor who shall be obeyed
Warn them, then, of the approaching day, when men's hearts shall rise up, choking them, into their throats. The evil-doers shall have no friend or intercessor who shall prevail
Wherefore warn them, O prophet, of the day which shall suddenly approach; when men's hearts shall come up to their throats, and strangle them. The ungodly shall have no friend or intercessor who shall be heard

That was because their messengers kept bringing them clear proofs (of Allah's Sovereignty) but they disbelieved; so Allah seized them. Lo! He is Strong, severe in punishment

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 — 0.74 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.
