Thuaj: "A vërtet ju po e mohoni Atë që krijoi Tokën për dy ditë dhe po i vishni Atij ortakë? Ai është Zoti i botëve.
বলুন, ‘তোমরা কি সত্যিই তাঁকে অস্বীকার করছ, যিনি দুই দিনে(৭) পৃথিবী সৃষ্টি করেছেন? আর তোমরা তাঁর জন্য সমকক্ষ স্থির করছ? তিনিই তো সকল জগতের রব।’
Reci: “Zar, zaista, nećete da vjerujete u Onog Koji je u dva dana Zemlju stvorio – i još Mu druge ravnim smatrate? To je Gospodar svjetova!”
Reci: “Zar, zaista, nećete vjerovati u Onog Koji je u dva dana Zemlju stvorio – i još Mu druge ravnim smatrate? To je Gospodar svjetova!”

Sag: „Wollt ihr denn wirklich denjenigen verleugnen, Der die Erde in zwei Tagen erschaffen hat, und Ihm andere als Seinesgleichen zur Seite stellen?“ Dies ist der Herr der Weltenbewohner.
Πες (ω, Προφήτη): «Είναι δυνατόν να αρνείστε την πίστη σ' Αυτόν που δημιούργησε τη Γη σε δύο Ημέρες, και να αποδίδετε σ' Αυτόν εταίρους στη λατρεία; Αυτός είναι ο Κύριος όλων των κόσμων.
आप कह दें कि क्या तुम उस अस्तित्व का इनकार करते हो, जिसने धरती को दो दिनों में पैदा किया और उसके समकक्ष ठहराते हो? वह तो समस्त संसार का पालनहार है।
Di’: «Negate forse Colui che creò la terra in due giorni e Gli assimilate dei pari? Quello è il Dio dei Mondi!

Реци: „Зар ви заиста нећете да верујете у Онога Који је Земљу створио у два дана - и још Му друга божанства приписујете?! То је Господар светова!
Sema: Hivyo nyinyi mnamkataa yule aliyeumba ardhi katika siku mbili, na mnamfanyia washirika? Huyu ndiye Mola Mlezi wa walimwengu wote.
Säg: ”Hur kan ni avfärda tron på honom som skapade jorden på två dagar, och sätta upp likar jämte honom? Han är världarnas Herre!
De ki: "Gerçekten siz, yeri iki günde yaratanı inkâr edip, O’na ortaklar mı koşuyorsunuz? O, âlemlerin Rabbidir."
آپ کہہ دیجئے! کہ کیا تم اس (اللہ) کا انکار کرتے ہو اور تم اس کے شریک مقرر کرتے ہو جس نے دو دن میں زمین پیدا کردی[1] ، سارے جہانوں کا پروردگار وہی 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.

The translators word this verse differently
As for those who believe and do righteous deeds-for them is a reward uninterrupted.
Lo! as for those who believe and do good works, for them is a reward enduring
Verily, those who believe and do right, for them is a hire that is not grudged
But they who believe and do the things that are right shall receive a perfect recompense
But as to those who believe, and work righteousness; they shall receive an everlasting reward

Then He turned to the sky, and it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth, "Come, willingly or unwillingly." They said, "We come willingly."
Then turned He to the heaven when it was smoke, and said unto it and unto the earth: Come both of you, willingly or loth. They said: We come, obedient
Then He made for the heaven and it was but smoke, and He said to it and to the earth, 'Come, ye two, whether ye will or no!' They said, 'We come willingly
Then He applied himself to the Heaven, which then was but smoke: and to it and to the Earth He said, "Come ye, whether in obedience or against your will?" and they both said, "We come obedient
Then He set his mind to the creation of heaven; and it was smoke: And He said unto it, and to the earth, come, either obediently, or against your will. They answered, we come, obedient to thy command

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 — 0.49 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.
