Ndërkaq, Faraoni thirri popullin e vet e u tha: "O populli im! A nuk më përket mua mbretëria e Egjiptit dhe këta lumenj që rrjedhin nën këmbët e mia?! A nuk shihni?!
আর ফির‘আউন (দম্ভভরে) তার সম্প্রদায়ের মধ্যে ঘোষণা দিয়ে বলল: ‘হে আমার সম্প্রদায়! মিসরের রাজত্ব কি আমার নয়? আর এ সব নদ-নদী কি আমার (অট্টালিকার) পাদদেশ দিয়ে প্রবাহিত হচ্ছে না? তোমরা কি দেখছ না?’
I faraon obznani narodu svome: “O narode moj”, reče on, “zar meni ne pripada vlast u Misiru i ove rijeke koje ispred mene teku – ne vidite li?!”

და ფარაონმა თავის ხალხს შესძახა და უთხრა: «ნუთუ მე არ ვარ ეგვიპტის მბრძანებელი და ამ მდინარეების, რომლებიც ჩემს ქვეშ მიედინება? ნუთუ ვარ ხედავთ?
Und Fir'aun ließ unter seinem Volk ausrufen; er sagte: „O mein Volk, gehört mir nicht die Herrschaft über Ägypten und (auch) diese Flüsse, die unter mir strömen? Wollt ihr denn nicht einsichtig sein?
Ο Φαραώ διακήρυξε στον λαό του: «Ω, λαέ μου! Δεν ανήκει σε μένα το βασίλειο της Μίσρ, και αυτά τα ποτάμια κυλούν κάτω από μένα; Δε βλέπετε;
तथा फ़िरऔन ने अपनी जाति में घोषणा करवाया, उसने कहा : ऐ मेरी जाति के लोगो! क्या मेरे पास मिस्र का राज्य नहीं है? तथा ये नहरें मेरे तहत नहीं चलतीं? तो क्या तुम नहीं देखते?
E il Faraone annunciò al suo popolo: «O popolo mio! Non sono forse miei il regno d’Egitto e questi fiumi che scorrono sotto di me? Come, non vedete?
51. Ir Firaun (Faraonas) paskelbė savo žmonėms (sakydamas): „Mano žmonės, argi ne mano valdžia Egipto, ir šių upių, tekančių po manimi. Argi jūs nematote?“
Fir’awnis ummata isaa keessatti lallabee, “yaa ummata kiyya! sila mootummaan Misraa anaaf hin turree? Laggeen kunis ana jala hin yaatuu? Sila hin agartanuu?” jedhe.
Фараон воззвал среди своего народа и сказал: «О народ мой! Разве не мне принадлежит власть над Египтом, и эти реки текут подо мной? Так неужели вы не видите?
И фараон обзнани своме народу: „О мој народе“, рече он, „зар мени не припада власт у Мисиру и ове реке које теку испред мене - зар не видите?!“
Na Firauni alitangaza kwa watu wake akisema: 'Enyi watu wangu! Kwani mimi si ninao huu ufalme wa Misri, na hii mito inapita chini yangu. Je, hamwoni?
Farao ropade till sitt folk: ”Mitt folk! Är inte Egyptens rike mitt, och [se på] dessa floder som strömmar under mitt [palats]? Ska ni då inte inse [min uppenbara makt]?
Firavun kavmine seslenerek: "Ey kavmim! Mısır’ın ve altımda akan şu ırmakların mülkü bana ait değil mi? Bunu görmüyor musunuz?"
اور فرعون نے اپنی قوم میں منادی کرائی اور کہا[1] اے میری قوم! کیا مصر کا ملک میرا نہیں؟ اور میرے (محلوں کے) نیچے یہ نہریں بہہ رہی ہیں[2]، کیا تم دیکھتے 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.

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

Why are bracelets of gold not dropped on him, or they angels came with him in procession?"
Why, then, have armlets of gold not been set upon him, or angels sent along with him
Unless then bracelets of gold be cast upon him, or there come with him angels as his mates
Have bracelets of gold then been put upon him, or come there with him a train of Angels
Have bracelets of gold, therefore, been put upon him; or do the angels attend him in orderly procession

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 — 0.48 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.
