O Messenger! Do not let those who are quick to disbelief grieve you-from among those who say with their mouths, "We believe," but their hearts do not believe; and from among the Jews-listeners to lies, listeners to other people who did not come to you. They distort words from their places, and they say, "If you are given this, accept it; but if you are not given it, beware." Whomever God has willed to divert, you have nothing for him from God. Those are they whose hearts God does not intend to purify. For them is disgrace in this world, and for them is a great punishment in the Hereafter.

O Messenger! Let not them grieve thee who vie one with another in the race to disbelief, of such as say with their mouths: "We believe," but their hearts believe not, and of the Jews: listeners for the sake of falsehood, listeners on behalf of other folk who come not unto thee, changing words from their context and saying: If this be given unto you, receive it, but if this be not given unto you, then beware! He whom Allahdoometh unto sin, thou (by thine efforts) wilt avail him naught against Allah. Those are they for whom the Will of Allah is that He cleanse not their hearts. Theirs in the world will be ignominy, and in the Hereafter an awfuldoom

O thou Apostle! let not those grieve thee who vie in misbelief; or those who say with their mouths 'We believe,' but their hearts do not believe; or of those who are Jews, listeners to a lie, - listeners to other people, but who come not to thee. They pervert the words from their places and say, ' If this is what ye are given, take it; but if ye are not given it, then beware!' but he whom God wishes to mislead, thou canst do nothing with God for him; these are those whose hearts God wishes not to purify, for them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the next is mightywoe

O Apostle! let not those who vie with one another in speeding to infidelity vex thee; - of those who say with their mouths, "We believe," but whose hearts believe not; - or of the Jews listeners to a lie-listeners to others - but who come not to thee.

O i Dërguar! Mos të të brengosin ata që me rrëmbim bien në mosbesim, të cilët thonë me gojë: "Besojmë", ndërsa zemrat e tyre nuk besojnë, e as ata që janë hebrenj, të cilët i dëgjojnë me zell gënjeshtrat dhe i dëgjojnë me zell disa të tjerë që nuk kanë ardhur te ti. Ata shtrembërojnë kuptimet e fjalëve dhe thonë: "Po qe se ju jepet (vendimi) kështu, pranojeni, e në qoftë se nuk ju jepet kështu, atëherë kini kujdes!" Për atë që Allahu dëshiron ta lërë në humbje, ti nuk mund të bësh asgjë kundrejt Allahut. Këta janë ata që Allahu nuk deshi t'ua pastronte zemrat.

O du Gesandter, lasse dich nicht durch jene traurig machen, die im Unglauben dahineilen, unter denen, die mit ihren Mündern sagen: „Wir glauben“, wobei ihre Herzen nicht glauben. Und unter denjenigen, die dem Judentum angehören, unter ihnen gibt es manche, die auf Lügen horchen, (und) die auf andere Leute horchen, die nicht zu dir gekommen sind. Sie verdrehen den Sinn der Worte, nach(dem sie an) ihrer (richtigen) Stelle (waren), und sagen: „Wenn euch dies gegeben wird, dann nehmt es an. Wenn euch dies aber nicht gegeben wird, dann seht euch vor.“ Und wen Allah der Versuchung aussetzen will, für den wirst du gegen Allah nichts (auszurichten) vermögen.

Διαστρεβλώνουν τις λέξεις (στην Τορά) από τις σωστές θέσεις τους, και λένε (σ' αυτούς που ήρθαν σ' εσένα): «Αν σας δοθεί αυτό (που επιθυμείτε, από την κρίση του Μωχάμμαντ, δηλ. το μαστίγωμα) τότε αποδεχτείτε το, αλλά αν δεν σας δοθεί (και σας είπε ο Μωχάμμαντ ότι η κρίση στην Τορά είναι ο λιθοβολισμός), τότε προσέξτε (και μην δεχτείτε την κρίση του).» Όποιον θέλει ο Αλλάχ να παραπλανηθεί, δε θα μπορείς να αποτρέψεις τίποτε από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ γι' αυτόν.

O Messaggero, non ti rattristino quelli che affrettano la miscredenza, tra quelli che dicono: «Crediamo!», con le loro bocche, ma i loro cuori non credono. E tra gli ebrei ascoltatori di bugie, che danno ascolto ad altri che non sono mai venuti da te, e che alterano il significato della parola; questi dicono: «Se vi si presenta questo, accettatelo; se non l’avete ancora ricevuto, state attenti!» E se Allāh vuole mettere qualcuno alla prova, non potrai fare nulla contro la volontà di Allāh. Quelli a cui Allāh non vuole purificare i cuori, saranno svergognati in terra e nell’Aldilà avranno una grande punizione.

Ir tarp judėjų yra tokių, kurie daug klauso ir trokšta melo – klausyti kito, kurie neatėjo pas jus. Jie pakeičia žodžius iš jų vietų, jie sako: „Jei jums yra tai duota, imkite tai, tačiau jei jums tai neduota, tada būkite atsargūs!” Ir kam Allahas nori Al-Fitna [suklaidinti, dėl to, kad jis atmetė Tikėjimą], nieko negalėsite padaryti dėl jo prieš Allahą.

Talal Itani2012 But why do they come to you for judgment, when they have the Torah, in which is God's Law? Yet they turn away after that. These are not believers.
Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 How come they unto thee for judgment when they have the Torah, wherein Allah hath delivered judgment (for them)? Yet even after that they turn away. Such (folk) are not believers
Edward Henry Palmer1880 But how should they make thee their judge, when they have the law wherein is God's judgment? Yet they turn back after that, for they do not believe
John Medows Rodwell1861 But how shall they make thee their judge, since they possess already the Law, in which are the behests of God, and have not obeyed it? After this, they will turn their backs; but such are not believers
George Sale1734 And how will they submit to thy decision, since they have the law, containing the judgment of God? Then will they turn their backs, after this; but those are not true believers
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 —
0.57 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.

Source Tanzil Qur'an text (Uthmani) · Uthmani, Version 1.1
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
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.
Parsed structurally from the EPUB: an h3 names the surah, one p per verse with its number in its own span. An unnumbered p is the basmala and is not a verse, except in surah 1 where the basmala IS verse 1. 112 unnumbered paragraphs were found, which is 114 surahs less surah 1 and surah 9. Text is stored VERBATIM: NFC normalisation and XML entity unescaping only, because CC BY-ND forbids modification.
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.
Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 verses, keyed to mushaf order. The
bismillah is not fused into ayah 1: 1:1 carries it and no other verse
does. Verified against content check C3 at ingest.
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.

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.
CLEARED. Parallel edition, held in ayah_text_variants. It sits alongside the Uthmani spine for search normalisation and is never used to correct it.
