When Our revelations are recited to them, plain and clear, those who disbelieve say of the truth when it has come to them, "This is obviously magic."

Kur u lexohen ajetet Tona të qarta, ata që mohojnë thonë për të vërtetën, kur u vjen: "Ky (Kurani) është vetëm një magji e kulluar."
আর যখন তাদের কাছে আমার সুস্পষ্ট আয়াতসমূহ তিলাওয়াত করা হয়, তখন কাফিররা তাদের কাছে সত্য আসার পর সে সম্পর্কে বলে, ‘এ তো স্পষ্ট জাদু।’
A kad se ovima Naši jasni ajeti kazuju, onda oni koji ne vjeruju govore o Istini čim im dođe: “Ovo je prava čarolija!”
A kad se ovima Naši jasni ajeti kazuju, onda oni koji ne vjeruju govore o Istini čim im dođe: “Ovo je prava čarolija!”
Si aayeeje Amen ɓannguɗe ɗen janngaama e maɓɓe, yedunooɓe goonga ɓen tuma nde arnoo e maɓɓe ɓen mbi'a: "Ɗuum ko mbilewu ɓanngu ngu".
და როცა მათ ჩვენი აიათები ცხადად ეკითხებათ, ურწმუნონი ამბობენ ჭეშმარიტებაზე, როცა ის მოევლინებათ: «ეს ცხადი ჯადოქრობაა».
Und wenn ihnen Unsere Zeichen als klare Beweise verlesen werden, sagen diejenigen, die ungläubig sind, über die Wahrheit, wenn sie zu ihnen gekommen ist: „Das ist deutliche Zauberei.“
Όταν απαγγέλλονται σ' αυτούς (τους άπιστους) τα Εδάφιά Μας ξεκάθαρα, αυτοί που αρνήθηκαν την πίστη λένε για την αλήθεια (το Κορ’άν) όταν τους ήρθε: «Αυτή είναι ξεκάθαρη μαγεία!»
और जब उनके सामने हमारी स्पष्ट आयतें पढ़ी जाती हैं, तो वे लोग जिन्होंने कुफ़्र किया, सत्य के विषय में, जब वह उनके पास आया, कहते हैं कि यह खुला जादू है।
E se venivano loro recitati i Nostri chiari Segni, dissero i miscredenti della Verità, quando arrivò loro: «Questa è chiara magia».
7. Ir kuomet Mūsų Aiškios Eilutės yra jiems recituojamos, netikintieji sako apie tiesą (šį Koraną) kuomet ji juos pasiekia: „Tai tėra aiškūs burtai!“.
Yeroo keeyyatoonni keenya ifa ta’anii isaan irratti dubbifaman, isaan dhugatti kafaran yeroo isaanitti dhufe nijedhan“kun Sihrii mul'ataadha”.
И когда им читаются Наши знамения, ясно изложенные, те, которые отвергли веру, говорят об истине, когда она пришла к ним: «Это — явное колдовство!»
А кад се овима казују Наше јасне речи, онда они који не верују говоре о истини чим им дође: „Ово је права чаролија!“
Na wanaposomewa Aya zetu zilizo wazi, wale waliokufuru husema juu ya haki inapowajia: 'Huu ni uchawi dhahiri.'
När våra klara verser reciteras för dem säger de otrogna om sanningen som nått dem: ”Det här är ju uppenbart magi!”
Onlara açık belgeler olarak ayetlerimiz okunduğu zaman, o küfre sapanlar kendilerine gelmiş olan hak için, “Bu, apaçık bir büyüdür” derler.
اور انہیں جب ہماری واضح آیتیں پڑھ کر سنائی جاتی ہیں تو منکر لوگ سچی بات کو جب کہ ان کے پاس آچکی، کہہ دیتے ہیں کہ یہ تو صریح جادو ہے.
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.

Who is more wrong than him who invokes, besides God, those who will not answer him until the Day of Resurrection, and are heedless of their prayers?
And who is further astray than those who, instead of Allah, pray unto such as hear not their prayer until the Day of Resurrection, and are unconscious of their prayer
But who is more in error than he who calls beside God on what will never answer him until the resurrection day and who are heedless of their calling
And who erreth more than he who, beside God, calleth upon that which shall not answer him until the day of Resurrection? Yes, they regard not their invocations
Who is in a wider error than he who invoketh, besides God, that which cannot return him an answer, to the day of resurrection; and idols which regard not their calling on them

The translators word this verse differently
And when humanity is gathered, they will be enemies to them, and will renounce their worship of them.
And when mankind are gathered (to the Judgment) will become enemies for them, and will become deniers of having been worshipped
and when men are gathered together are enemies of theirs and do deny their service
And when mankind shall be assembled together, they will become their enemies, and ungratefully disown their worship
And which, when men shall be gathered together to judgment, will become their enemies, and will ungratefully deny their worship

Or do they say, "He invented it himself"? Say, "If I invented it myself, there is nothing you can do to protect me from God. He knows well what you are engaged in. He is sufficient witness between me and you. He is the Forgiver, the Merciful."
Or say they: He hath invented it? Say (O Muhammad): If I have invented it, still ye have no power to support me against Allah. He is Best Aware of what ye say among yourselves concerning it. He sufficeth for a witness between me and you. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
Or do they say, 'He has forged it?' Say, 'If I have forged ye cannot obtain for me aught from God; He knows best what ye utter concerning it; He is witness enough between me and you, and He is the forgiving, the merciful
Will they say, "He hath devised It?" SAY: If I have devised the Koran, then not one single thing shall ye ever obtain for me from God! He best knoweth what ye utter in its regard! Witness enough is He between me and you! And He is the Gracious, the Merciful
Will they say, Mohammed hath forged it? Answer, if I have forged it, verily ye shall not obtain for me any favour from God: He well knoweth the injurious language which ye utter concerning it: He is a sufficient witness between me and you; and He is gracious and merciful

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 — 0.51 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.
