Ne jua sollëm të vërtetën, por shumica prej jush e urrenin të vërtetën.
‘অবশ্যই আমি তোমাদের কাছে সত্য নিয়ে এসেছিলাম; কিন্তু তোমাদের অধিকাংশই ছিলে সত্য অপছন্দকারী।’
Mi smo vam slali Istinu, ali većina vas Istinu prezire.
Mi smo vam slali Istinu, ali većina vas istinu prezire.
"Gooŋɗii Min ngaddanii on goonga kan ; kono ɗuuɗuɓe e mon, ko añɓe goonga".
(და ეთქმებათ ჯოჯოხეთის მკვიდრთ): «ჩვენ მოვედით თქვენთან ჭეშმარიტებით, მაგრამ თქვენი უმეტესობა ჭეშმარიტების მოძულეა».
Wir sind ja zu euch mit der Wahrheit gekommen, aber den meisten von euch ist die Wahrheit zuwider.
(Ω, φυλή Κουράις)! Πράγματι, στείλαμε σε σας (τον Αγγελιαφόρο Μας με) την αλήθεια, αλλά οι περισσότεροι από σας αντιπαθούν την αλήθεια!
निःसंदेह हम तो तुम्हारे पास सत्य लेकर आए हैं, लेकिन तुममें से अधिकतर लोग सत्य को नापसंद करने वाले हैं।
Vi abbiamo in verità trasmesso la Verità, ma la maggior parte di voi odia la Verità!
78. Iš tiesų, Mes atnešėme tiesą (Muchammedą ﷺ su Koranu) jums, tačiau dauguma jūsų neapkenčia tiesos.
Dhugumatti, Nuti haqaan isinitti dhufne. Garuu irra baay’een keessan haqa jibbitoota.
«Несомненно, Мы пришли к вам с истиной, однако большинство из вас ненавидит истину».
Ми смо вам слали Истину, али већина вас презире истину.
Kwa yakini tulikuleteeni Haki, lakini wengi katika nyinyi mlikuwa mnaichukia Haki.
Vi har förmedlat sanningen till er men de flesta av er avskyr sanningen.
Size hakkı getirmiştik. Fakat çoğunuz haktan hoşlanmamıştınız.
ہم تو تمہارے پاس حق لے آئے لیکن تم میں سے اکثر لوگ حق[1] سے نفرت رکھنے والے تھے؟
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.

We did them no injustice, but it was they who were the unjust.
We wronged them not, but they it was who did the wrong
We have not wronged them, but it was themselves they wronged
For it is not we who have treated them unjustly, but it was they who were unjust to themselves
We deal not unjustly with them, but they deal unjustly with their own souls

And they will cry, "O Malek, let your Lord finish us off." He will say, "You are staying."
And they cry: O master! Let thy Lord make an end of us. He saith: Lo! here ye must remain
And they shall cry out, 'O Malik! let thy lord make an end of us;' he shall say, 'Verily, ye are to tarry here
And they shall cry: "O Malec! would that thy Lord would make an end of us!" He saith: "Here must ye remain
And they shall call aloud, saying, O Malec, intercede for us that thy Lord would end us by annihilation. He shall answer, verily ye shall remain here forever

The translators word this verse differently
Have they contrived some scheme? We too are contriving.
Or do they determine any thing (against the Prophet)? Lo! We (also) are determining
Have they arranged the affair? then will we arrange it too
Have they drawn tight their toils for thee? We too will tighten ours
Have the infidels fixed on a method to circumvent our apostle? Verily We will fix on a method to circumvent them

Or do they think that We cannot hear their secrets and their conspiracies? Yes indeed, Our messengers are by them, writing down.
Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences? Nay, but Our envoys, present with them, do record
Or do they reckon that we did not hear their secrets and their whispering? Nay, but our messengers are with them writing down
Think they that we hear not their secrets and their private talk? Yes, and our angels who are at their sides write them down
Do they imagine that We hear not their secrets, and their private discourse? Yea; and our messengers who attend them write down the same

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 — 0.56 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.
