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.
When a temptation from the Devil provokes you, seek refuge in God; He is the Hearer, the Knower.

E, nëse të vjen nga shejtani ndonjë cytje, kërkoji mbrojtje Allahut, sepse Ai është Gjithëdëgjuesi, i Gjithëdijshmi.
আর যদি কখনো শয়তানের পক্ষ থেকে কোন কুমন্ত্রণা তোমাকে প্ররোচিত করে, তাহলে তুমি আল্লাহর নিকট আশ্রয় প্রার্থনা করো। নিশ্চয়ই তিনি সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞ।
A kad te šejtan pokuša na zle misli navesti, ti zatraži utočište u Allaha, jer On, uistinu, sve čuje i zna sve.
A kad te vrag pokuša na zle misli navesti, ti zatraži utočište u Allaha, jer On, uistinu, sve čuje i zna sve.
Si sowinsinoore arii heɓude ma immorde e seytaane, moolor Allah. Kaŋko ko O Nanoowo, gannduɗo.
ხოლო თუ ეშმაკისგან რაიმე ცდუნება შეგეხება, მაშინ ალლაჰს მიმართე მფარველობისთვის. უეჭველად, იგია ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნე.
Und wenn dich vom Satan (auch nur) eine (leichte) Einflüsterung (und Abhaltung vom Guten) aufstacheln sollte, dann suche Zuflucht bei Allah. Wahrlich, Er ist ja der Allhörende und der Allwissende.
Αν έρθει σε σένα ένας κακός ψίθυρος από τον Σατανά, αναζήτησε καταφύγιο στον Αλλάχ. Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι ο Ασ-Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
और यदि शैतान आपको उकसाए, तो अल्लाह से शरण माँगिए। निःसंदेह वह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, जानने वाला है।
E se Satana ti tenta a fare altrimenti, rifugiati da Allāh: in verità Lui è l’Ascoltatore e il Sapiente.
36. Ir jei blogi šnabždesiai iš Šaitan (Šėtono) bando nugręžti tave (Muchammedai ﷺ) (nuo gera darymo), tada ieškok priešglobsčio pas Allahą. Iš tiesų, Jis yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.
Yoo waswaasaan shayxaana irraa ta’e si jallise, Rabbitti maganfadhu. Inni Isumatu dhaga’aa, beekaadha.
А если тебя коснётся наущение от шайтана, то прибегай к защите Аллаха. Воистину, Он — Слышащий, Знающий.
А кад Сотона покуша да те наведе на зле мисли, ти затражи уточиште код Аллаха. Он, уистину, све чује и све зна.
Na Shetani akikuchochea kwa uchochezi, wewe jikinge kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Yeye ni Mwenye kusikia, ajuaye zaidi.
Och om en [ondskefull] ingivelse från Satan skulle fresta dig, ta då din tillflykt till Gud; han är förvisso den som hör allt, som vet allt.
Şeytan'dan sana bir vesvese gelirse, hemen Allah’a sığın. Allah her şeyi işitendir. Her şeyi bilendir.
اور اگر شیطان کی طرف سے کوئی وسوسہ آئے تو اللہ کی پناه طلب کرو[1] یقیناً وه بہت ہی سننے واﻻ اور جاننے واﻻ ہے.[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.

The translators word this verse differently
Good and evil are not equal. Repel evil with good, and the person who was your enemy becomes like an intimate friend.
The good deed and the evil deed are not alike. Repel the evil deed with one which is better, then lo! he, between whom and thee there was enmity (will become) as though he was a bosom friend
Good and evil shall not be deemed alike; repel (evil) with what is best, and lo! He between whom and thyself was enmity is as though he were a warm patron
Moreover, good and evil are not to be treated as the same thing. Turn away evil by what is better, and lo! he between whom and thyself was enmity, shall be as though he were a warm friend
Good and evil shall not be held equal. Turn away evil with that which is better; and behold, the man between whom and thyself there was enmity, shall become, as it were, thy warmest friend

The translators word this verse differently
But none will attain it except those who persevere, and none will attain it except the very fortunate.
But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness
But none shall meet with it save those who are patient; and none shall meet with it save those who are endowed with mighty good fortune
But none attain to this save men steadfast in patience, and none attain to it except the most highly favoured
But none shall attain to this perfection, except they who are patient; nor shall any attain thereto, except he who is indued with a great happiness of temper

And of His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Do not bow down to the sun, nor to the moon, but bow down to God, Who created them both, if it is Him that you serve.
And of His portents are the night and the day and the sun and the moon. Do not prostrate to the sun or the moon; but prostrate to Allah Who created them, if it is in truth Him Whom ye worship
And of His signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Adore ye not the sun, neither the moon; but adore God who created you, if it be Him ye serve

But if they are too proud for this, yet they who are with thy Lord do celebrate His praises night and day, and cease not
But if they proudly disdain his service; verily the angels, who are with thy Lord, praise Him night and day, and are not wearied

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 — 0.72 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.
