But as for those who disbelieved: "Were My revelations not recited to you? But you turned arrogant, and were guilty people."

Ndërkaq, atyre që mohojnë do t'u thuhet: "A nuk ju lexoheshin ajetet e Mia, kurse ju tregoheshit mendjemëdhenj dhe ishit njerëz keqbërës?"
আর যারা কুফরী করেছে (৮), ‘তোমাদের কাছে কি আমার আয়াতসমূহ পাঠ করা হয়নি? অতঃপর তোমরা অহংকার করেছিলে। আর তোমরা ছিলে এক অপরাধী সম্প্রদায়।’
A onima koji nisu vjerovali: “Zar vam ajeti Moji nisu kazivani, ali vi ste se oholili i narod prestupnički bili?”

ხოლო ურწმუნოებს (ეთქმებათ): «განა არ გეკითხებოდათ ჩემი ნიშნები (აიათები)? მაგრამ თქვენ გაამპარტავნდით და გახდით მეამბოხე ხალხი».
Was aber diejenigen angeht, die ungläubig waren, so (wird zu ihnen gesagt werden): „Sind denn Meine Zeichen euch nicht stets verlesen worden? Aber ihr habt euch hochmütig verhalten und seid ein Volk von Übeltätern gewesen.
Αλλά όσο γι' εκείνους που αρνήθηκαν την πίστη, (θα ειπωθεί σ' αυτούς): «Δεν απαγγέλλονταν τα Εδάφια Μου σε σας, αλλά εσείς δείξατε αλαζονεία και ήσασταν κακοί άνθρωποι;
और रहे वे लोग जिन्होंने कुफ़्र किया, तो (उनसे कहा जाएगाः) क्या तुम्हारे सामने मेरी आयतें नहीं पढ़ी जाती थीं? परंतु तुमने घमंड किया और तुम अपराधी लोग थे।
Invece a quelli che hanno negato: «Non vi venivano recitati i Miei Segni? Ma vi siete insuperbiti ed eravate un popolo criminale».
31. Tačiau tiems, kurie netikėjo (bus pasakyta): „Ar Mūsų Eilutės nebuvo recituojamos jums? Tačiau jūs buvote išdidūs, ir jūs buvote žmonės, kurie buvo mudžrimūn (daugiadieviai, netikintieji, nuodėmiautojai, nusikaltėliai).“

А что касается тех, которые отвергли веру, то [им будет сказано]: «А разве вам не читались Мои аяты? Но вы превознеслись и стали преступным народом.
А онима који нису веровали: „Зар вам Моје речи нису казиване, али сте се охолили и народ одметнички били?“
Na ama waliokufuru wataambiwa: 'Kwani hamkuwa mkisomewa Aya zangu nanyi mkapanda kichwa, na mkawa watu wakosefu?'

Kâfir olanlara gelince: “Ayetlerim sizlere okunmadı mı? Siz de büyüklük taslayıp, günahkâr kimseler olmadınız mı?”
لیکن جن لوگوں نے کفر کیا تو (میں ان سے کہوں گا) کیا میری آیتیں تمہیں سنائی نہیں جاتی تھیں[1] ؟ پھر بھی تم تکبر کرتے رہے اور تم تھے ہی گنہ گار لوگ.[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.

But as to those who believe and do righteous deeds their Lord will make them enter into His mercy, that is the obvious bliss
As to those who have believed and wrought righteously, into his mercy shall their Lord cause them to enter. This shall be undoubted bliss
As to those who shall have believed and done good works, their Lord shall lead them into his mercy: This shall be manifest felicity

And when it was said, "The promise of God is true, and of the Hour there is no doubt," you said, "We do not know what the Hour is; we think it is only speculation; we are not convinced."
And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is. We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced
And when it was said, 'Verily, the promise of God is true, and the Hour there is no doubt therein;' ye said, 'We know not what the Hour is, we only suspect, and we are not sure
And when it was said, "Verily the Promise of God is truth; and as to the Hour, there is no doubt of it;" ye said, "We know not what the hour is - we conceive it a mere conceit, - we have no assurance of it
And when it was said unto you, verily the promise of God is true; and as to the hour of judgment, there is no doubt thereof: Ye answered, we know not what the hour of judgment is: We hold an uncertain opinion only; and we are not well assured of this matter

The evils of what they did will become evident to them, and the very thing they ridiculed will haunt them.
And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them
But there shall appear to them the evils of what they have done, and that shall encompass them at which they have been mocking
And the evils they have wrought shall rise up into their view, and that at which they mocked shall hem them in on every side

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 — 0.61 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.
