Thus He inspires you, and those before you-God the Almighty, the Wise.

Kështu të dërgon Allahu shpallje ty (o Muhamed) dhe atyre që ishin para teje, i Gjithëfuqishmi, i Urti.
এভাবেই মহাপরাক্রমশালী, প্রজ্ঞাময় আল্লাহ তোমার প্রতি এবং তোমার পূর্ববর্তী (নবী-রাসূল)-দের প্রতিও ওহি নাযিল করেন।
Eto, tako Allah, Silni i Mudri, objavljuje tebi, kao i onima prije tebe.
Eto, tako Allah, Silni i Mudri, objavljuje tebi, kao i onima prije tebe.
Ko wano nii woni ko Allah Teɗɗuɗo, Ñeeño oon wahayiniri e maa, e ɓeen adinooɓe maa.
ასე შთაგაგონებს შენ და მათ, რომელნიც შენამდე იყვნენ, ალლაჰი, ძლევამოსილი, ბრძენი.
Auf diese Weise gibt dir Allah (als Offenbarung) ein und (Er hat auch zuvor) denjenigen, die vor dir waren, (als Offenbarungen eingegeben), (Er), der Allmächtige und der Allweise.
Έτσι αποκαλύπτει σε σένα (ω, Προφήτη) και (αποκάλυψε) σ' αυτούς που ήταν πριν από σένα, ο Αλλάχ, ο Αλ-‘Αζείζ (Παντοδύναμος, Ανίκητος), ο Αλ-Χακείμ (Πάνσοφος).
इसी प्रकार, आपकी ओर और आपसे पहले के नबियों की ओर, वह अल्लाह वह़्य (प्रकाशना)[1] करता (रहा) है, जो सब पर प्रभुत्वशाली, पूर्ण हिकमत वाला है।
Così ha ispirato a te e a quelli che ti hanno preceduto, Allāh, il Potente, il Saggio.
3. Panašiai Allahas, Visa Galingiausias, Visa Išmintingiausias siunčia Apreiškimą tau (Muchammedai ﷺ) kaip (Jis siuntė Apreiškimą) tiems, anksčiau tavęs.
Akka kanaan gara keetiifi gara isaan (nabiyyoota) siin duraatti (Rabbiin) wahyii godha, Rabbiin injifataa ogeessa.
Так внушает откровение тебе и тем, кто которые были до тебя, Аллах, Могущественный, Мудрый.
Тако Аллах, Силни и Мудри објављује теби, као и онима пре тебе.
Hivi ndivyo Mwenyezi Mungu Mwenye nguvu na Mwenye hekima anavyokuletea Wahyi wewe na walio kabla yako.
Gud, den Allsmäktige, den Vise, uppenbarar nu till dig så som han gjort till de som kom före dig.
Azîz ve Hakîm olan Allah, sana ve senden öncekilere işte böyle vahyediyor.
اللہ تعالیٰ جو زبردست ہے اور حکمت واﻻ ہے اسی طرح تیری طرف اور تجھ سے اگلوں کی طرف وحی بھیجتا رہا.[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.

To him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. He is the Sublime, the Magnificent.

His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, and He is the high, the mighty
All that is in the Heavens and all that is in the Earth is His: and He is the High, the Great
Unto Him belongeth whatever is in heaven, and in earth; and He is the high, the great God

The heavens above them almost burst apart, while the angels glorify the praises of their Lord, and ask forgiveness for those on earth. God is indeed the Forgiver, the Merciful.
Almost might the heavens above be rent asunder while the angels hymn the praise of their Lord and ask forgiveness for those on the earth. Lo! Allah, He is the Forgiver, the Merciful
The heavens well-nigh cleave asunder from above them; and the angels celebrate the praises of their Lord, and ask forgiveness for those who are on the earth. Ay, verily, God, He is the forgiving and merciful
Ready are the Heavens to cleave asunder from above for very awe: and the angels celebrate the praise of their Lord, and ask forgiveness for the dwellers on earth: Is not God the Indulgent, the Merciful
It wanteth little but that the heavens be rent in sunder from above, at the awfulness of his majesty: The angels celebrate the praise of their Lord, and ask pardon for those who dwell in the earth. Is not God the forgiver of sins, the merciful

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 — 0.68 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.
