But when We lifted the torment from them, they immediately broke their promise.

Por, kur ua largonim ndëshkimin, ata e thyenin premtimin.
অতঃপর যখন আমি তাদের থেকে শাস্তি সরিয়ে নিলাম, তখনই তারা অঙ্গীকার ভঙ্গ করে বসল।
A čim bismo ih nevolje oslobodili, začas bi obavezu prekršili.
A čim bismo ih nevolje oslobodili, začas bi obavezu prekršili.
Nde Min huncannooɓe lepte ɗeen, e jaka yoo, hiɓe pirta [ahadi].
და როდესაც მათგან სასჯელი მოვხსენით, აჰა, მათ დაარღვიეს თავიანთი აღთქმა[1].
Als Wir dann die Strafe von ihnen hinwegnahmen, da brachen sie sogleich ihr Wort.
Αλλά όταν αφαιρέσαμε την τιμωρία απ' αυτούς, αθέτησαν την υπόσχεσή τους.
फिर जब हम उनसे यातना दूर कर देते, सहसा वे वचन तोड़ देते थे।
Ma quando li liberammo dalla punizione, non rispettarono la promessa.
50. Tačiau kai Mes pašalinome kančią nuo jų, štai, jie pažeidė savo susitarimą (kad jie tikės, jei Mes pašalinsime nuo jų kančią).
Yeroo adabbii isaan irraa saaqnu yoggusuma isaan waadaa diigan.
Но когда Мы отвели от них наказание, они вдруг нарушили [свой] договор.
А чим бисмо их ослободили невоље, зачас би прекршили обавезу.
Basi tulipowaondolea adhabu hiyo, mara wakaingia kuvunja ahadi.
Men så snart vi lyft plågan från dem bröt de sitt löfte.
Fakat biz azabı üzerlerinden kaldırınca hemen verdikleri sözü bozdular.
پھر جب ہم نے وه عذاب ان سے ہٹالیا انہوں نے اسی وقت اپنا قول وقرار توڑ دیا.
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
Each sign We showed them was more marvelous than its counterpart. And We afflicted them with the plagues, so that they may repent.
And every token that We showed them was greater than its sister (token), and We grasped them with the torment, that haply they might turn again
And we did not show them a sign, but it was greater than its fellow; and we seized them with the torment, haply they might turn
Though we shewed them no sign that was not greater than its fellow: and therefore did we lay hold on them with chastisement, to the intent that they might be turned to God
although We shewed them no sign, but it was greater than the other: And We inflicted a punishment on them, that peradventure they might be converted

The translators word this verse differently
They said, "O sorcerer, pray to your Lord for us, according to His pledge to you, and then we will be guided."
And they said: O wizard! Entreat thy Lord for us by the pact that He hath made with thee. Lo! we verily will walk aright
And they said, 'O thou magician! pray for us to thy Lord, as He has engaged with thee: verily, we are guided
Then they said, "O Magician! call on thy Lord on our behalf to do as he hath engaged with thee, for truly we would fain be guided
And they said unto Moses, O magician, pray unto thy Lord for us, according to the covenant which He hath made with thee; for we will certainly be 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 — 0.51 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.
