The translators word this verse differently
Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
That is because they pursued what displeases God, and they disliked His approval, so He nullified their works.

Kjo, se ata shkuan pas asaj që e zemëron Allahun dhe e urryen pëlqimin e Tij, prandaj Ai ua asgjësoi veprat.
এটি এ জন্য যে, তারা এমন সব বিষয়ের(২৪) অনুসরণ করেছে, যা আল্লাহকে ক্রোধান্বিত করেছে এবং তারা তাঁর সন্তোষকে অপছন্দ করেছে। ফলে আল্লাহ তাদের কর্মসমূহ নিষ্ফল করে দিয়েছেন।
To će biti zato što su ono što izaziva Allahovu srdžbu slijedili, a ono čime je On zadovoljan prezirali; On će djela njihova poništiti.
To će biti zato što su ono što izaziva Allahovu srdžbu slijedili, a ono čime je On zadovoljan prezirali; On će djela njihova poništiti.
Ko tawde ko ɓe njokkii ko tikkinta Allah, ɓe añii welayɗi Mo ɗiin, O bonni fii golle maɓɓe ɗeen.
ეს იმიტომ, რომ ისინი მიჰყვნენ იმას, რაც განარისხებდა ალლაჰს და სძულდათ მისი კეთილგანწყობა [მოწყალება], ამიტომ მან ამაოდ აქცია მათი საქმეები.
Dies, weil sie dem folgen, was Allah erzürnt, und ihnen Sein Wohlgefallen zuwider ist, und so lässt Er ihre Werke hinfällig werden.
Αυτό επειδή ακολούθησαν ό,τι προκάλεσε την οργή του Αλλάχ και απεχθάνονταν (ό,τι θα τους έκανε) να λάβουν την ευχαρίστησή Του, έτσι, κατέστησε τις (καλές) πράξεις τους μάταιες.
यह इस कारण कि निःसंदेह उन्होंने उसका अनुसरण किया जिसने अल्लाह को क्रोधित कर दिया और उसकी प्रसन्नता को बुरा जाना, तो उसने उनके कर्मों को नष्ट कर दिया।[10]
Quello perché hanno seguito ciò che indigna Allāh, e odiavano la Sua compiacenza, così ha reso vane le loro azioni.
28. Taip yra, nes jie seka tuo, kas pykdo Allahą, ir nekenčia to, kuo Jis yra patenkintas. Todėl Jis padarė jų darbus beverčiais.
Kun waan isaan waan Rabbiin dallansiisu hordofaniifii jaalala Isaa (Rabbii) jibbaniifi. (Rabbiin) dalagaalee isaanii balleesse.
Это — за то, что они последовали за тем, что вызывало гнев Аллаха, и возненавидели то, чем Он доволен. И Он сделал их деяния тщетными.
Тако ће да буде зато што су следили оно што изазива Аллахов гнев, а презирали су оно чиме је Он задовољан; па ће поништити њихова дела.
Hayo ni kwa sababu wao waliyafuata yale yaliyomchukiza Mwenyezi Mungu na wakachukia yanayomridhisha, basi akaviangusha vitendo vyao.
Detta sker eftersom de valde sådant som väckte Guds vrede och avskydde allt som behagar honom. Som ett resultat lät han deras handlingar gå om intet.
Bu, onların Allah'ı gazaplandıran şeylere uymaları ve O'nun rızasından hoşlanmamaları yüzündendir. Bu yüzden (Allah) amellerini boşa çıkardı.
یہ اس بنا پر کہ یہ وه راه چلے جس سے انہوں نے اللہ کو ناراض کر دیا اور انہوں نے اس کی رضا مندی کو برا جانا، تو اللہ نے ان کے اعمال اکارت کر دیئے.
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.

That is because they said to those who hated what God has revealed, "We will obey you in certain matters." But God knows their secret thoughts.
That is because they say unto those who hate what Allah hath revealed: We will obey you in some matters; and Allah knoweth their secret talk
That is for that they say to those who are averse from what God has revealed, 'We will obey you in part of the affair!' but God knows their secrets
This - because they say to those who abhor what God hath sent down, "We will comply with you in part of what ye enjoin." But God knoweth their secret reservations
This shall befall them, because they say privately unto those who detest what God hath revealed, we will obey you in part of the matter. But God knoweth their secrets

How about when the angels take them at death, beating their faces and their backs?
Then how (will it be with them) when the angels gather them, smiting their faces and their backs
How will it be when the angels take their souls, smiting their faces and their backs
But how? When the angels, in causing them to die, shall smite them on the face and back
How therefore will it be with them, when the angels shall cause them to die, and shall strike their faces, and their backs

The translators word this verse differently
Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, and you would have recognized them by their marks. Yet you will recognize them by their tone of speech. And God knows your actions.
And if We would, We could show them unto thee (Muhammad) so that thou shouldst know them surely by their marks. And thou shalt know them by the burden of their talk. And Allah knoweth your deeds
But did we please we would show thee them, and thou shouldst know them by their cognisances. But thou shalt know them by their distorting their speech, and God knows their works
If such were our pleasure, we could point them out to thee, and thou surely know them by their tokens: and know them thou shalt, by the strangeness of their words. God knoweth your doings
If We pleased, We could surely shew them unto thee, and thou shouldest know them by their marks; but thou shalt certainly know them by their perverse pronunciation of their words. God knoweth your actions

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 — 0.69 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.
