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.
It is He who brings down the rain after they have despaired, and unfolds His mercy. He is the Guardian, the Praised.

Ai është që zbret shiun pasi ata të kenë humbur shpresën dhe shpërndan mëshirën e Vet. Ai është Mbrojtësi, i Lavdëruari.
আর তারা যখন নিরাশ হয়ে পড়ে, তখন তিনিই বৃষ্টি বর্ষণ করেন এবং তাঁর রহমত ছড়িয়ে দেন। আর তিনিই তো অভিভাবক, সর্বপ্রশংসিত।

და მხოლოდ იგია [ალლაჰი], ვინც წვიმას მოუვლენს, მას შემდეგ როცა ისინი (მის მოსვლაზე) სასოწარკვეთილნი არიან, და გაავრცელებს თავის წყალობას. და ის არის მფარველი, საქებარი!
Und Er ist es, Der den Regen herabkommen lässt, nachdem sie die Hoffnung aufgegeben haben, und Der Seine Barmherzigkeit ausbreitet. Und Er ist der Schutzherr und der Lobenswürdige.
Είναι Αυτός που στέλνει τη βροχή (στους δούλους Του) αφού είχαν απελπιστεί, και σκορπίζει το έλεός Του (στέλνοντας τη βροχή σε πολλά διαφορετικά μέρη). Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι ο Αλ-Ουαλέι (Κηδεμόνας, Προστάτης), ο Αλ-Χαμείντ (Άξιος κάθε επαίνου).
तथा वही है जो बारिश बरसाता है, इसके बाद कि वे निराश हो चुके होते हैं और अपनी दया फैला[25] देता है और वही संरक्षक, सराहनीय है।
E Lui è Colui che manda la benefica pioggia, dopo che si sono disperati, e diffonde la Sua misericordia, e Lui è il Protettore, il Lodevole.
28. Ir Jis yra Tas, Kuris nuleidžia lietų po to, kai jie neteko vilties, ir paskleidžia Savo Gailestingumą. Ir Jis yra Vali (Padėjėjas, Pagalbininkas, Sargas, Viešpats), Vertas visų Šlovių.
Inni Isa bokkaa buusuufi rahmata Isaa babal’isuu erga abdii kutatanii. Inni gargaaraa, faarfamaadha.
И Он — Тот, Кто низводит обильный дождь после того, как они отчаялись, и распространяет Свою милость. Он — Покровитель, Достохвальный.
Он спушта кишу кад они изгубе сваку наду и распростире Своју милост; Он је, уистину, Заштитник, Хваљени.
Naye ndiye anayeiteremsha mvua baada ya wao kwisha kata tamaa, na hueneza rehema yake. Naye ndiye Mlinzi, Mwenye kusifiwa sana.
Och det är han som sänder regnet efter att de förlorat hoppet, och med det sprider han sin nåd. Han är den sanne Beskyddaren, den Lovprisade.
(Kulları) umutlarını kestikten sonra yağmur indirip rahmetini yayan O’dur. O'dur gerçek veli (ve) hamde layık olan.
اور وہی ہے جو لوگوں کے ناامید ہوجانے کے بعد بارش برساتا[1] اور اپنی رحمت پھیلا دیتا ہے وہی ہے کارساز اور قابل حمد و ثنا.[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
And He answers those who believe and do good deeds, and He increases them of His grace. But the disbelievers will suffer a terrible punishment.
And accepteth those who do good works, and giveth increase unto them of His bounty. And as for disbelievers, theirs will be an awful doom
And He answers the prayer of those who believe and do right, and gives them increase of His grace; but the misbelievers,- for them is keen torment
And to those who believe and do the things that are right will he hearken, and augment his bounties to them: but the unbelievers doth a terrible punishment await
He will incline his ear unto those who believe and work righteousness, and will add unto them above what they shall ask or deserve, of his bounty: But the unbelievers shall suffer a severe punishment

The translators word this verse differently
If God were to increase the provision to His servants, they would transgress on earth; but He sends down in precise measure whatever He wills. Surely, regarding His servants, He is Expert and Observant.
And if Allah were to enlarge the provision for His slaves they would surely rebel in the earth, but He sendeth down by measure as He willeth. Lo! He is Informed, a Seer of His bondmen
And if God were to extend provision to His servants they would be wanton in the earth. But He sends down by measure what He pleases; verily, of His servants He is well aware and sees
Should God bestow abundance upon his servants, they might act wantonly on the earth: but He sendeth down what He will by measure; for he knoweth, beholdeth his servants
If God should bestow abundance upon his servants, they would certainly behave insolently in the earth: But He sendeth down by measure unto every one that which he pleaseth; for He well knoweth and seeth the condition of his servants

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 — 0.44 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.
