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.
As for those who retaliate after being wronged, there is no blame on them.

Për atë që merr hak, kur i bëhet padrejtësi, nuk ka asnjë qortim.
তবে অত্যাচারিত হবার পর যারা প্রতিশোধ গ্রহণ করে, তাদের বিরুদ্ধে কোন ব্যবস্থা গ্রহণ করা হবে না।(১৩)
A onaj ko uzvrati nakon što mu je nepravda učinjena, pa takvi ne mogu biti kažnjeni.
A onaj tko uzvrati nakon što mu je nepravda učinjena, pa takvi ne mogu biti kažnjeni.
Kala noon yottiiɓe ɓaawo ɓe tooñeede, ko ɓen woni ɓe laawol [nanngitireede] fawaaki e mum.
და ნამდვილად, ვინც (თავს დამტყდარი უსამართლობის შემდეგ) შურს იძიებს, ასეთ ადამიანზე არ არის საყვედური.
Und wer immer sich selbst hilft, nachdem ihm Unrecht zugefügt wurde, gegen jene gibt es keine Möglichkeit (der Belangung).
Όποιος όμως επιδιώκει τη δικαιοσύνη, αφού έλαβε αδικία, σε αυτούς δεν υπάρχει φταίξιμο.
तथा जो अपने ऊपर अत्याचार होने के पश्चात् बदला ले ले, तो ये वे लोग हैं जिनपर कोई दोष नहीं।
E chi si rivale di un torto subito, quelli non andranno incontro a nessuna sanzione.
41. Ir iš tiesų, kas atkeršija po to kai kentėjo blogį, tam nėra nieko (kaltės) prieš juos.
Namni erga miidhamee booda haaloo bahate, isaan sun diliin isaan irra hin jiru.
А те, которые дали отпор после того, как с ними поступили несправедливо, такие — нет против них никакого пути.
А онај ко узврати након што му је учињено насиље, па такви не могу да буду кажњени.
Na wanaojitetea baada ya kudhulumiwa, hao hapana njia ya kuwalaumu.
Och mot de som står upp för sig själva efter att ha lidit orätt finns ingen grund till klander.
Zulme uğradıktan sonra hakkını alan kimse için, artık onların aleyhine bir yol/sorumluluk yoktur.
اور جو شخص اپنے مظلوم ہونے کے بعد (برابر کا) بدلہ لے لے تو ایسے لوگوں پر (الزام کا) کوئی راستہ نہیں.
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
The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with God. He does not love the unjust.
The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers
For the recompence of evil is evil like unto it; but he who pardons and does well, then his reward is with God; verily, He loves not the unjust
Yet let the recompense of evil be only a like evil but he who forgiveth and is reconciled, shall be rewarded by God himself; for He loveth not those who act unjustly
And the retaliation of evil ought to be an evil proportionate thereto: -- But he who forgiveth, and is reconciled unto his enemy, shall receive his reward from God; for He loveth not the unjust doers
42:41 — the verse above
إِنَّمَا ٱلسَّبِيلُ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يَظْلِمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ وَيَبْغُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ ٱلْحَقِّ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

The translators word this verse differently
Blame lies on those who wrong people, and commit aggression in the land without right. These will have a painful punishment.
The way (of blame) is only against those who oppress mankind, and wrongfully rebel in the earth. For such there is a painful doom
The way is only against those who wrong men and are wanton in the earth without right; these - for them is grievous woe
But there shall be a way open against those who unjustly wrong others, and act insolently on the earth in disregard of justice. These! a grievous punishment doth await them
But it is only lawful to punish those who wrong men, and act insolently in the earth, against justice; these shall suffer a grievous punishment

The translators word this verse differently
But whoever endures patiently and forgives-that is a sign of real resolve.
And verily whoso is patient and forgiveth - lo! that, verily, is (of) the steadfast heart of things
But surely he who is patient and forgives,- verily, that is a determined affair
And whoso beareth wrongs with patience and forgiveth; - this verily is a bounden duty
And whoso beareth injuries patiently, and forgiveth; verily this is a necessary work

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.
