They said, "Did you come to us to divert us from our gods? Then bring us what you threaten us with, if you are being truthful."

Ata thanë: "A ke ardhur te ne për të na larguar nga zotat tanë?! Atëherë, na e sill atë me të cilën na kërcënon, nëse po e thua të vërtetën!"
তার সম্প্রদায়ের লোকেরা বলেছিল: ‘তুমি কি আমাদেরকে আমাদের উপাস্যদের থেকে নিবৃত্ত করতে আমাদের নিকট এসেছ? তুমি যদি সত্যবাদীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হও, তাহলে আমাদেরকে যার (যে শাস্তির) ভয় দেখাচ্ছ তা নিয়ে এসো।’

მათ თქვეს: «ნუთუ ჩვენი ღმერთებისგან დასაშორებლად მოხვედი შენი სიცრუით? მოგვეცი ის, რასაც გვპირდები, თუკი მართალი ხარ».
Sie sagten: „Bist du zu uns gekommen, um uns von unseren Angebeteten abzubringen? So bring uns doch her, was du uns androhst, wenn du zu den Wahrhaftigen gehörst.“
Είπαν (οι άπιστοι στον Χουντ): «Ήρθες σε μας για να μας απομακρύνεις από τους θεούς μας; Φέρε μας λοιπόν αυτή (την τιμωρία) που μας απειλείς, αν είσαι από τους ειλικρινείς.»
उन्होंने कहा : क्या तू हमारे पास इसलिए आया है कि हमको हमारे माबूदों से फेर दे? तो हम पर वह (अज़ाब) ले आ, जिसकी तू हमें धमकी देता है, यदि तू सच्चों में से है।
Dissero: «Ma sei venuto per allontanarci dalle nostre divinità? Mostraci dunque ciò che ci prometti, se sei tra i veritieri.»

Они сказали: «Неужели ты пришёл к нам, чтобы отвратить нас от наших богов? Так приведи же нам то, что ты нам обещаешь, если ты из числа правдивых»
Они су одговарали: „Зар си нам дошао да нас одвратиш од наших божанстава? Нека се, ето, остваре претње твоје, ако истину говориш!”
Wakasema: 'Je, umetujia ili ututenge mbali na miungu yetu? Basi tuletee hayo unayotuahidi ikiwa wewe ni miongoni mwa wasemao kweli.'
De svarade: ”Har du kommit för att få oss att överge våra gudar? Låt oss då se det du hotar oss med, om du verkligen talar sanning!”
Onlar da: "Bizi, ilahlarımızdan döndürmek için mi geldin? Eğer doğru sözlülerden isen bizi tehdit ettiğin şeyi haydi bize getir." demişlerdi.
قوم نے جواب دیا، کیا آپ ہمارے پاس اس لئے آئے ہیں کہ ہمیں اپنے معبودوں (کی پرستش) سے باز رکھیں[1] ؟ پس اگر آپ سچے ہیں تو جس عذاب کا آپ وعده کرتے ہیں اسے ہم پر ﻻ ڈالیں.
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
On the Day when the faithless will be paraded before the Fire: "You have squandered your good in your worldly life, and you took pleasure in them. So today you are being repaid with the torment of shame, because of your unjust arrogance on earth, and because you used to sin."
And on the day when those who disbelieve are exposed to the Fire (it will be said): Ye squandered your good things in the life of the world and sought comfort therein. Now this day ye are rewarded with the doom of ignominy because ye were disdainful in the land without a right, and because ye used to transgress
And the day when those who misbelieve shall be exposed to the fire: 'Ye made away with your good things in your worldly life, and ye enjoyed them; wherefore today shall ye be rewarded with the torment of disgrace, for that ye were big with pride in the earth without the right, and for that ye did abomination
And they who believe not shall one day be set before the fire. "Ye made away your precious gifts during your life on earth; and ye took your fill of pleasure in them: This day, therefore, with punishment of shame shall ye be rewarded, for that ye behaved you proudly and unjustly on the earth, and for that ye were given to excesses
On a certain day, the unbelievers shall be exposed before the fire of hell; and it shall be said unto them, ye received your good things in your life-time, while ye were in the world; and ye enjoyed yourselves therein: Wherefore this day ye shall be rewarded with the punishment of ignominy; for that ye behaved insolently in the earth, without justice, and for that ye transgressed

The translators word this verse differently
Then, when they saw a cloud approaching their valley, they said, "This is a cloud that will bring us rain." "In fact, it is what you were impatient for: a wind in which is grievous suffering."
Then, when they beheld it as a dense cloud coming toward their valleys, they said: Here is a cloud bringing us rain. Nay, but it is that which ye did seek to hasten, a wind wherein is painful torment
And when they saw a traversing cloud approaching their valleys they said, 'This is a cloud to give us rain.' 'Nay, but it is what ye sought to hasten on - a wind in which is grievous torment
So when they saw a cloud coming straight for their valleys, they said, "It is a passing cloud that shall give us rain." "Nay, it is that whose speedy coming ye challenged a blast wherein is an afflictive punishment
And when they saw the preparation made for their punishment, namely, a cloud traversing the sky, and tending towards their valleys, they said, this is a traversing cloud, which bringeth us rain. Hud answered, nay; it is what ye demanded to be hastened: A wind, wherein is a severe vengeance

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 — 0.59 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.
