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.
Like the fate of the people of Noah, and Aad, and Thamood, and those after them. God wants no injustice for the servants.

ashtu si i ndodhi popullit të Nuhut, adëve, themudëve dhe atyre që erdhën më pas. Allahu nuk dëshiron t'u bëjë padrejtësi robërve të Vet.
‘যেমন ঘটেছিল নূহ, ‘আদ ও ছামূদের জাতি এবং তাদের পরবর্তীদের ব্যাপারে।(১৯) আর আল্লাহ বান্দাদের ওপর কোন যুলম করতে চান না।’
kao što je to bilo s Nuhovim narodom i Adom i Semudom i onima poslije njih. – A Allah nije nepravedan robovima Svojim.
kao što je to bilo s Noinim narodom i Adom i Semudom i onima poslije njih. – A Allah nije nepravedan robovima Svojim.

etwas Gleichartiges wie das, was dem Volk Nuhs, den 'Ad, den Thamud und denjenigen, die nach ihnen waren, (widerfuhr).“ Und Allah will keine Ungerechtigkeit für die Diener.
Όπως έγινε με τον λαό του Νώε, τη φυλή ‘Αντ, τη φυλή Θαμούντ, και μ' αυτούς (τον λαό του Αβραάμ και του Λωτ) που ήρθαν μετά απ' αυτούς. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δε θέλει αδικία για τους δούλους (Του, και δεν κατέστρεψε εκείνους τους λαούς παρά μόνο για την απιστία τους)!
नूह की जाति, तथा आद और समूद और उनके बाद होने वाले लोगों की स्थिति के समान। तथा अल्लाह अपने बंदों पर अत्याचार नहीं चाहता।
una sorte come quella del popolo di Nūħ e di ‘Ad e di Thamūd e di quelli che li seguirono. E Allāh non vuole fare torto ai Suoi servi!
31. „Kaip Nūho (Nojaus) ir Ad ir Samud ir tų, kurie atėjo po jų, žmonių likimo. Ir Allahas nenori neteisybės (Savo) vergams.
Fakkaataa aadaa ummata Nuuh, Aad, Samuudiifi warra isaan boodaan (isin irratti sodaadha). Rabbiin gabrootaaf miidhaa hin fedhu.
Подобного тому, что постигло народ Нуха, племя ‘ад, и племя самуд, и тех, которые были после них. А Аллах не желает несправедливости для [Своих] рабов.
као што је то било са Нојевим народом, и Адом и Семудом, и онима после њих. А Аллах није неправедан према Својим слугама.
Mfano wa hali ya watu wa Nuhu na 'Adi na Thamudi na wale wa baada yao. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hataki kuwadhulumu waja.
det som drabbade Noas folk och [stammarna]ʿĀd och Thamūd, liksom de som kom efter dem. Gud vill aldrig göra sina tjänare orätt.
"Nûh Âd, Semûd kavminin ve ondan sonraki toplumların durumu gibi. Oysa Allah, kullarına zulmetmek istemez."
جیسے امت نو ح اور عاد وﺛمود اور ان کے بعد والوں کا (حال ہوا)[1] ، اللہ اپنے بندوں پر کسی طرح کا ﻇلم کرنا نہیں چاہتا.[2]
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.

O my people! Yours is the dominion today, supreme in the land; but who will help us against God's might, should it fall upon us?" Pharaoh said, "I do not show you except what I see, and I do not guide you except to the path of prudence."
O my people! Yours is the kingdom to-day, ye being uppermost in the land. But who would save us from the wrath of Allah should it reach us? Pharaoh said: I do but show you what I think, and I do but guide you to wise policy
O my people! yours is the kingdom today, ye are eminent in the land, but who will help us against the violence of God, if it comes upon us?' Said Pharaoh, 'I will only show you what I see, and I will only guide you into the way of right direction
O my people! this day is the kingdom yours, the eminent of the earth! but who shall defend us from the vengeance of God if it come on us?" Pharaoh said, "I would have you see only what I see; and in a right way only will I guide you
O my people, the kingdom is yours this day; and ye are conspicuous in the earth: But who shall defend us from the scourge of God, if it come unto us? Pharaoh said, I only propose to you what I think to be most expedient: And I guide you only into the right path

The translators word this verse differently
The Day when you will turn and flee, having no defender against God. Whomever God misguides has no guide."
A day when ye will turn to flee, having no preserver from Allah: and he whom Allah sendeth astray, for him there is no guide
the day when ye shall turn your backs, fleeing, with no defender for you against God; for he whom God leads astray, for him there is no guide
The day when ye shall be turned back from the Judgment into hell. No protector shall ye have then against God. And he whom God shall mislead no guide shall there be for him
the day whereon ye shall be turned back from the tribunal, and driven to hell: Then shall ye have none to protect you against God. And he whom God shall cause to err, shall have no director

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 — 0.59 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.
