আর স্বর্ণ নির্মিতও (করে দিতে পারতাম)। আর এর সব কয়টিই দুনিয়ার জীবনের ভোগ-সামগ্রী। আর আখিরাত তো তোমার রবের কাছে মুত্তাকীদের জন্যই ।(১৫)

και (θα τους είχαμε δώσει και) χρυσό! Πράγματι, όλα αυτά δεν είναι παρά μόνο η (φευγαλέα) απόλαυση της εγκόσμιας ζωής, ενώ η Μέλλουσα Ζωή (και οι ανταμοιβές της) από τον Κύριο σου (θα είναι καλύτερη) για τους ευσεβείς (που φυλάσσονται από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).
और सोने के (बना देते)। यह सब तो मात्र सांसारिक जीवन का सामान है तथा आख़िरत[14] आपके पालनहार के यहाँ केवल परहेज़गारों के लिए है।

дали бисмо им и украсе од злата, јер све је то само уживање у овосветском животу, а Будући свет, код твога Господара, биће за богобојазне.
Na mapambo. Lakini hayo si chochote ila ni starehe ya maisha ya dunia tu, na Akhera iliyoko kwa Mola wako Mlezi ni ya wenye kumcha Mungu.
och guldprydnader därtill. Allt detta är dock bara en kortvarig njutning i detta jordeliv, medan det kommande livet hos din Herre är för de gudfruktiga.
Ve (daha nice) çekici süsler de (verirdik). Bütün bunlar, yalnızca dünya hayatının geçimliğidir. Ahiret ise, senin Rabbinin katında takva sahipleri içindir.
اور سونے کے بھی[1] ، اور یہ سب کچھ یونہی سا دنیا کی زندگی کا فائده ہے اور آخرت تو آپ کے رب کے نزدیک (صرف) پرہیزگاروں کے لیے (ہی) ہے.[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.

Were it not that humanity would become a single community, We would have provided those who disbelieve in the Most Gracious with roofs of silver to their houses, and stairways by which they ascend.
And were it not that mankind would have become one community, We might well have appointed, for those who disbelieve in the Beneficent, roofs of silver for their houses and stairs (of silver) whereby to mount
And but that men would then have been one nation, we would have made for those who misbelieve in the Merciful One roofs of silver for their houses, and steps up thereto which they might mount
But for fear that all mankind would have become a single people of unbelievers, verily we would certainly have given to those who believe not in the God of Mercy roofs of silver to their houses, and silver stairs to ascend by
If it were not that mankind would have become one sect of infidels, verily We had given unto those who believe not in the Merciful, roofs of silver to their houses, and stairs of silver, by which they might ascend thereto

Whoever shuns the remembrance of the Most Gracious, We assign for him a devil, to be his companion.
And he whose sight is dim to the remembrance of the Beneficent, We assign unto him a devil who becometh his comrade
And whosoever turns from the reminder of the Merciful One, we will chain to him a devil, who shall be his mate
And whoso shall withdraw from the Warning of the God of Mercy, we will chain a Satan to him, and he shall be his fast companion
Whoever shall withdraw from the admonition of the Merciful, We will chain a devil unto him; and he shall be his inseparable companion

The translators word this verse differently
They hinder them from the path, though they think they are guided.
And lo! they surely turn them from the way of Allah, and yet they deem that they are rightly guided
and, verily these shall turn them from the path while they reckon that they are guided
For the Satans will turn men aside from the Way, who yet shall deem themselves rightly guided
And the devils shall turn them aside from the way of truth; yet they shall imagine themselves to be rightly directed

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 — 0.59 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.
