O populli ynë! Përgjigjjuni thirrësit të Allahut dhe besojini atij, që Allahu t'ju falë gjynahet tuaja dhe t'ju shpëtojë prej një dënimi të dhembshëm!
‘হে আমাদের সম্প্রদায়! আল্লাহর দিকে আহ্বানকারী (মুহাম্মাদ)-এর প্রতি সাড়া দাও এবং তার প্রতি ঈমান আনো। আল্লাহ তোমাদের পাপসমূহ ক্ষমা করবেন এবং তোমাদেরকে যন্ত্রণাদায়ক শাস্তি থেকে রক্ষা করবেন।’
O narode naš, odazovite se Allahovu glasniku i vjerujte u Allaha, On će vam neke grijehe vaše oprostiti i vas od patnje neizdržljive zaštititi!”
O narode naš, odazovite se Allahovu glasniku i vjerujte u Allaha, On će vam neke grijehe vaše oprostiti i vas od patnje neizdržljive zaštititi!
Eey mon yo mbatu amen, nootee noddoowo e Allah on, ngooŋɗinon mo. [On tuma] O haforanat on bakkatuuji ɗiin, O daɗnda on lepte mu'usuuɗe.
ჰეი, ჩვენო ხალხო! უპასუხეთ ალლაჰის მოციქულს და ირწმუნეთ იგი. ის მოგიტევებთ თქვენს ცოდვებს და დაგიცავთ მტანჯველი სასჯელისგან.
O unser Volk, hört auf den Rufer Allahs und glaubt an ihn, so vergibt Er (also Allah) euch etwas von euren Sünden und gewährt euch Schutz vor einer schmerzhaften Strafe.
Ω, λαέ μας! Ανταποκριθείτε (με υπακοή) σ' αυτόν (τον Προφήτη) που (σας) καλεί προς τον Αλλάχ, και πιστέψτε σ' αυτόν, ώστε (ο Αλλάχ) να συγχωρήσει για σας τις αμαρτίες σας και να σας σώσει από ένα επώδυνο μαρτύριο.
ऐ हमारी जाति के लोगो! अल्लाह की ओर बुलाने वाले का निमंत्रण स्वीकार करो और उसपर ईमान ले आओ, वह तुम्हारे पापों को क्षमा कर देगा और तुम्हें दर्दनाक यातना से पनाह देगा।
O popolo nostro, rispondete al Messaggero di Allāh e credetegli: vi perdonerà parte dei peccati e vi proteggerà dalla dolorosa punizione.
31. O mūsų žmonės! Atsakykite (paklusdami) Allaho Kvietėjui (Pranašui Muchammedui ﷺ ), ir tikėkite juo. Jis (Allahas) atleis jūsų nuodėmes ir apsaugos jus nuo skausmingos kančios.
Yaa ummata keenya! Waamaa Rabbiitiif (nabi Muhammadiif) awwaadhaa (tole jedhaa); isattis amanaa. Inni (Rabbiin) badiilee keessanirraa isiniif araarama; adabbii laalessaa irraas isin baraara. [6]
О народ наш! Ответьте призывающему к Аллаху и уверуйте в Него, и тогда Он простит вам часть ваших грехов и защитит вас от мучительного наказания.
О народе наш, одазовите се Аллаховом гласнику и верујте у Аллаха, Он ће да вам опрости неке ваше грехе и да вас заштити од болне патње!“
Enyi kaumu yetu! Muitikieni Mwenye kuitia kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na muaminini, Mwenyezi Mungu atawasamehe, na atawakinga kutokana na adhabu chungu.
Vårt folk! Hörsamma den som kallar er till Gud och tro på honom; då ska Gud förlåta era synder och skydda er från ett smärtsamt straff.
Ey kavmimiz! Allah'ın davetçisine uyun. Ona iman edin ki, Allah da sizin günahlarınızı bağışlasın ve sizi acı bir azaptan korusun.
اے ہماری قوم! اللہ کے بلانے والے کا کہا مانو، اس پر ایمان ﻻؤ[1] ، تو اللہ تمہارے گناه بخش دے گا اور تمہیں المناک عذاب سے پناه دےگا.[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.

The translators word this verse differently
Recall when We dispatched towards you a number of jinn, to listen to the Quran. When they came in its presence, they said, "Pay attention!" Then, when it was concluded, they rushed to their people, warning them.
And when We inclined toward thee (Muhammad) certain of the jinn, who wished to hear the Qur'an and, when they were in its presence, said: Give ear! and, when it was finished, turned back to their people, warning
And when we turned towards thee some of the ginn listening to the Qur'an, and when they were present at (the reading of) it, they said, 'Be silent!' and when it was over they turned back to their people, warning them
And remember when we turned aside a company of the djinn to thee, that they might hearken to the Koran: and no sooner were they present at its reading than they said to each other, "Hist;" and when it was ended, they returned to their people with warnings
Remember when We caused certain of the genii to turn aside unto thee, that they might hear the Koran: And when they were present at the reading of the same, they said to one another, give ear: And when it was ended, they returned back unto their people, preaching what they had heard

The translators word this verse differently
He who does not answer the caller to God will not escape on earth, and has no protectors besides Him. Those are in obvious error.
And whoso respondeth not to Allah's summoner he can nowise escape in the earth, and he hath no protecting friends instead of Him. Such are in error manifest
And whoso responds not to God's crier shall not frustrate Him in the earth, and shall not have any patrons beside Him:- these are in obvious error
And he who shall not respond to God's preacher, yet cannot weaken God's power on earth, nor shall he have protectors beside Him. These are in obvious error
And whoever obeyeth not God's preacher, shall by no means frustrate God's vengeance on earth: neither shall he have any protectors besides Him. These will be in a manifest error

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 — 0.52 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.
