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.
And as for those who choose protecting friends beside Him, Allah is Warden over them, and thou art in no wise a guardian over them

Allahu është Mbikëqyrës i atyre që marrin për mbrojtës të tjerë përveç Tij, kurse ti (o Muhamed) nuk je përgjegjës për ta.
আর যারা আল্লাহর পরিবর্তে অন্যদেরকে অভিভাবকরূপে গ্রহণ করে, আল্লাহ তাদের (কর্মকাণ্ডের) প্রতি সম্যক দৃষ্টিদাতা(১) এবং হে রাসূল! তুমি তাদের কর্মবিধায়ক নও।
Allah motri na one koji, pored Njega, zaštitnike uzimaju, a ti nisi za njihovu uputu zadužen.
Allah motri na one koji, pored Njega, zaštitnike uzimaju, a ti nisi za njihovu uputu zadužen.
Ɓeen non jogitiiɓe yiɗɓe goo ga Makko, Allah ko deenuɗo ɓe. A wonaani deenoowo ɓe.
ხოლო მათ, რომელთაც მის გარდა მფარველები გაიჩინეს, ალლაჰია მათზე ზედამხედველი. და შენ მათზე პასუხისმგებელი არ ხარ.
Und diejenigen, die sich anstatt Seiner Schutzherren nehmen, Allah ist Hüter über sie, und du bist nicht Sachwalter über sie.
Όσο γι' εκείνους που παίρνουν άλλους (δηλ. τους ψεύτικους θεούς) ως κηδεμόνες (και θεούς που τους λατρεύουν) εκτός απ' Αυτόν, ο Αλλάχ είναι Παρατηρητής πάνω τους, και δεν είσαι (ω, Προφήτη) υπεύθυνος (ή κηδεμόνας) γι' αυτούς.
तथा जिन लोगों ने अल्लाह के सिवा दूसरे संरक्षक बना लिए, अल्लाह उनपर निगरानी रखे हुए है और आप कदापि उनके उत्तरदायी[3] नहीं हैं।
E su quelli che hanno preso, all’infuori di Lui, dei protettori, Allāh vigila e tu non sei il loro custode.
6. O tiems, kurie laiko Aulija (globėjais, padėjėjais, pagalbininkais, viešpačiais, dievais, apsaugininkais) kitus šalia Jo [t. y. jie priima netikras dievybes, kitas nei Allahas, apsaugininkais ir garbina jas] – Allahas yra jų Hafiz (Apsaugininkas, Stebėtojas) (t. y. rūpinasi jų darbais ir atlygins jiems), o tu (Muchammedai ﷺ) nesi Vakil (globėjas ar jų reikalų tvarkytoas) jiems (kad apsaugotum jų darbus).
Warri Isa malee jaalallee godhatan, Rabbiin isaan to’ata. Ati isaan irratti itti gaafatamaa miti.
А те, которые взяли себе покровителей помимо Него, — Аллах — Хранитель над ними, и ты над ними вовсе не попечитель.
Аллах мотри на оне који, поред Њега, узимају заштитнике, а ти ниси задужен за њихову упуту.
Na wale waliowafanya walinzi wengine badala yake Yeye, Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwangalizi bora juu yao. Wala wewe si wakili juu yao.
Gud vakar förvisso över de som dyrkar andra vid hans sida, och du är inte ansvarig för dem.
Allah’tan başka dostlar edinenlere gelince, Allah onları daima gözetlemektedir. Sen onlara vekil değilsin.
اور جن لوگوں نے اس کے سوا دوسروں کو کارساز بنالیا ہے اللہ تعالیٰ ان پر نگران[1] ہے اور آپ ان کے ذمہ دار نہیں ہیں.[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 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

Thus We inspired you with an Arabic Quran, that you may warn the Central City and whoever is around it, and to warn of the Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt; a group in the Garden, and a group in the Furnace.
And thus We have inspired in thee a Lecture in Arabic, that thou mayst warn the mother-town and those around it, and mayst warn of a day of assembling whereof there is no doubt. A host will be in the Garden, and a host of them in the Flame
Thus have we revealed an Arabic Qur'an, that thou mayest warn the Mother of cities and all around it; and warn them of a day of gathering, there is no doubt therein;- a part in Paradise and a part in the blaze
It is thus moreover that we have revealed to thee an Arabic Koran, that thou mayest warn the mother city and all around it, and that thou mayest warn them of that day of the Gathering, of which there is no doubt - when part shall be in Paradise and part in the flame
Thus have We revealed unto thee an Arabic Koran, that thou mayest warn the metropolis of Mecca, and the Arabs who dwell round about it; and mayest threaten them with the day of the general assembly, of which there is no doubt: One part shall then be placed in paradise, and another part in hell

Had God willed, He could have made them one community, but He admits into His mercy whomever He wills. As for the wrongdoers, they will have no protector and no savior.

But had God pleased He would have made them one nation; but He makes whom He will enter into His mercy; and the unjust have neither patron nor help
Had God so pleased, He had made them one people and of one creed: but He bringeth whom He will within His mercy; and as for the doers of evil, no patron, no helper shall there be for them
If God had pleased, He had made them all of one religion: But He leadeth whom He pleaseth into his mercy; and the unjust shall have no patron or helper

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.70 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.
