Ne u dhamë bijve të Israilit Librin, urtësinë dhe pejgamberinë, i begatuam me të mira dhe i ngritëm mbi të gjithë njerëzit (e asaj kohe).
আর অবশ্যই আমি বনী ইসরাঈলকে কিতাব, প্রজ্ঞা (৩) ও নবুওয়াত দান করেছিলাম; তাদেরকে উত্তম রিজিক প্রদান করেছিলাম এবং তাদেরকে (সে যুগের) সকল মানুষের ওপর শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব দিয়েছিলাম।
Sinovima smo Israilovim Knjigu, i vlast, i vjerovjesništvo dali, i iz ljepota ih opskrbili, i nad ostalim svjetovima ih odlikovali!

ვფიცავ, ჩვენ მივეცით ისრაელის შთამომავლებს წიგნი [თორა], კანონი (რომლითაც ადამიანებს შორის დავები წყდება) და წინასწარმეტყველება [რომ წინასწარმეტყველ იბრაჰიმის შთამომავლობიდან უმეტესი მათთან იყო გაგზავნილი], და ჩვენ მივანიჭეთ მათ წილი კეთილდღეობისა და უპირატესობა მივანიჭეთ მათ (იმ) სამყაროებზე [მათ დროში მცხოვრებ ხალხებზე].
Und Wir haben ja bereits den Kindern Israils die Schrift gegeben, das Urteil und das Prophetentum und versorgten sie von den guten Dingen und bevorzugten sie vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern.
Πράγματι, δώσαμε στα παιδιά του Ισραήλ το Βιβλίο (την Τορά του Μωυσή και το Ιν-τζήλ του Ιησού), την κατανόηση (του Βιβλίου και των κανόνων του) και (στείλαμε σ' αυτούς) πολλούς Προφήτες. Τους παρείχαμε καλά αγαθά και τους ευνοήσαμε πάνω από όλους τους ανθρώπους (της εποχής τους).
तथा निःसंदेह हमने इसराईल की संतान को किताब और हुक्म और नुबुव्वत प्रदान की और उन्हें पाकीज़ा चीज़ों से जीविका दी, तथा उन्हें (उनके समय के) संसार वालों पर श्रेष्ठता प्रदान की।
E demmo ai figli d’Israīl il Libro, la Legge e la Profezia, concedendo loro ogni bene e favorendoli rispetto ai Mondi.
16. Ir iš tiesų, Mes suteikėme Israelio (Izraelio) Vaikams Raštą, ir Rašto bei jo įstatymų supratimą, ir Pranašavimą, ir suteikėme jiems gerus dalykus, ir pasirinkome juos virš Alamyn (jų laikų žmonijos ir džinų, tuo laikotarpiu),

Действительно, Мы даровали сынам Исраила Писание, суд и пророчество, наделили их благами и возвысили над [другими народами] миров.
Израиљевим синовима смо дали Књигу и власт, и веровесништво, и опскрбили смо их лепом храном, и одликовали их над осталим народима!
Na hakika tuliwapa Wana wa Israili Kitabu, hukumu na Unabii, na tukawaruzuku vitu vizuri vizuri, na tukawafadhilisha kuliko walimwengu wote.
Vi gav israeliterna skriften och förmågan att döma, och vi lät profeter uppstå bland dem. Vi försörjde dem från de goda tingen och upphöjde dem över alla världens folk.
İsrailoğulları'na da kitap, hüküm ve peygamberlik vermiştik. Onları temiz şeylerle rızıklandırmış ve âlemlere üstün kılmıştık.
یقیناً ہم نے بنی اسرائیل کو کتاب، حکومت[1] اور نبوت دی تھی، اور ہم نے انہیں پاکیزه (اور نفیس) روزیاں دی تھیں[2] اور انہیں دنیا والوں پر فضیلت دی تھی.[3]
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.

Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the days of Allah; in order that He may requite folk what they used to earn

And We gave them precise rulings. They fell into dispute only after knowledge came to them, out of mutual rivalry. Your Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection regarding the things they differed about.
And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ
And we brought them manifest proofs of the affair, and they disputed not until after knowledge had come to them, through mutual envy. Verily, thy Lord will decide between them on the resurrection day concerning that whereon they did dispute
And we gave them clear sanctions for our behests: neither did they differ, through mutual envy, till after they had become possessed of knowledge; but thy Lord will judge between them on the day of resurrection, as to the subject of their disputes
And We gave them plain ordinances concerning the business of religion; neither did they fall to variance, except after that knowledge had come unto them, through envy amongst themselves: But thy Lord will decide the controversy between them, on the day of resurrection, concerning that wherein they disagree

Then We set you upon a pathway of faith, so follow it, and do not follow the inclinations of those who do not know.
And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our) commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not
Then we did set thee over a law concerning the affair: follow it then, and follow not the lusts of those who do not know
Afterwards we set thee over our divine law: follow it then: and follow not the wishes of those who have no knowledge
Afterwards We appointed thee, O Mohammed, to promulgate a law concerning the business of religion: Wherefore follow the same, and follow not the desires of those who are ignorant

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 — 0.49 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.
