Ihr ruft mich dazu auf, Allah zu verleugnen und Ihm das beizugesellen, wovon ich kein Wissen habe, während ich euch zum Allmächtigen und Allvergebenden rufe.
Εσείς με καλείτε στο να αρνηθώ την πίστη στον Αλλάχ και να αποδίδω σ' Αυτόν εταίρους στη λατρεία, -για τους οποίους (εταίρους) δεν έχω καμία γνώση (ούτε απόδειξη ότι αξίζουν τη λατρεία)-, ενώ εγώ σας καλώ προς την πίστη στον Αλ-‘Αζείζ (Παντοδύναμο, Ανίκητο), τον Αλ-Γαφφάρ (Αυτόν που συγχωρεί συνεχώς στο μέγιστο βαθμό)!
तुम मुझे इस बात की ओर बुला रहे हो कि मैं अल्लाह के साथ कुफ़्र करूँ और उसके साथ उसे साझी ठहराऊँ जिसका मुझे कोई ज्ञान नहीं, तथा मैं तुम्हें प्रभुत्वशाली, अत्यंत क्षमाशील (अल्लाह) की ओर बुला रहा हूँ।
Mi invitate a negare Allāh e ad paragonarGli ciò di cui non ho conoscenza, e io vi invito al Potente, il Perdonatore.
42. Jūs kviečiate mane netikėti Allahą (ir Jo Vienumą) ir priskirti Jam partnerius garbinime, apie kuriuos aš neturiu jokių žinių. O aš kviečiu jus pas Visa Galingąjį, Visa Atleidžiantįjį.

Вы зовёте меня к тому, чтобы я отверг Аллаха и придал Ему в сотоварищи то, о чём у меня нет знания, — а я зову вас к Могущественному, Всепрощающему.
Позивате ме да не верујем у Аллаха и да поред Њега обожавам оно о чему немам знања, а ја вас позивам Силноме, Оном који опрашта.

Ni försöker få mig att förneka Gud och dyrka sådant vid hans sida som jag inte känner till, medan jag i stället kallar er till den Allsmäktige, den oändligt Förlåtande.
Siz bana Allah’ı inkâr etmem ve hakkında hiçbir bilgiye sahip olmadığım şeyleri O’na ortak koşmam için çağrıda bulunuyorsunuz; ben ise sizi izzet sahibi, çok bağışlayıcı olan Allah’a davet ediyorum.
تم مجھے یہ دعوت دے رہے ہوکہ میں اللہ کے ساتھ کفر کروں اور اس کے ساتھ شرک کروں جس کا کوئی علم مجھے نہیں اور میں تمہیں غالب بخشنے والے (معبود) کی طرف دعوت دے رہا ہوں.[1]
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.

Whoever commits a sin will be repaid only with its like. But whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, and is a believer-these will enter Paradise, where they will be provided for without account.
Whoso doeth an ill-deed, he will be repaid the like thereof, while whoso doeth right, whether male or female, and is a believer, (all) such will enter the Garden, where they will be nourished without stint
Whoso does evil, he shall only be recompensed with the like thereof , and whoso does right, be it male or female and a believer, these shall enter into Paradise; they shall be provided therein without count
Whoso shall have wrought evil shall not be recompensed but with its like; but whoso shall have done the things that are right, whether male or female, and is a believer - these shall enter paradise: good things unreckoned shall they enjoy therein
Whoever worketh evil, shall only be rewarded in equal proportion to the same: But whoever worketh good, whether male or female, and is a true believer, they shall enter paradise; they shall be provided for therein superabundantly

Without a doubt, what you call me to has no say in this world, or in the Hereafter; and our turning back is to God; and the transgressors are the inmates of the Fire.
Assuredly that whereunto ye call me hath no claim in the world or in the Hereafter, and our return will be unto Allah, and the prodigals will be owners of the Fire
no doubt that what ye call me to, ought not to be called on in this world or in the hereafter, and that we shall be sent back to God, and that the extravagant, they are the fellows of the Fire
No doubt is there that they to whom ye invite me are not to be invoked either in this world or in the world to come: and that unto God is our return, and that the transgressors shall be the inmates of the fire
There is no doubt but that the false gods to which ye invite me, deserve not to be invoked, either in this world or in the next; and that we must return unto God; and that the transgressors shall be the inhabitants of hell fire

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 — 0.54 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.
