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.
Those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by God with their strongest oaths that they are with you?" Their works have failed, so they became losers.

Atëherë, besimtarët do të thonë: "Vallë, këta janë ata që betoheshin fuqishëm se njëmend ishin me ju?!" Veprat e tyre do të asgjësohen dhe ata do të jenë humbës.
আর মু’মিনগণ বলবে: ‘এরাই কি তারা, যারা আল্লাহর নামে দৃঢ়ভাবে শপথ করেছিল যে, নিশ্চয় তারা তোমাদের সঙ্গেই আছে?’ তাদের আমলসমূহ নিষ্ফল হয়েছে; ফলে তারা ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত হয়েছে।
a oni koji vjeruju reći će: "Jesu li to oni koji su se zaklinjali Allahom, svojom najjačom zakletvom, da su, zaista, s vama?" Djela njihova bit će poništena, i oni će gubitnici biti.

Und diejenigen, die glauben, sagen: „Sind dies etwa diejenigen, die bei Allah ihre kräftigsten Eide schworen, dass sie gewiss mit euch seien?“ Ihre Werke sind hinfällig geworden, so dass sie (nun) zu Verlierern wurden.
Οι πιστοί λένε: «Αυτοί (οι υποκριτές) είναι εκείνοι που ορκίστηκαν με το Όνομα του Αλλάχ με πολύ ζήλο στην ορκομωσία τους ότι είναι μαζί σας (ω, πιστοί, στην πίστη και την υποστήριξη);» Οι (καλές) πράξεις τους έγιναν μάταιες, και έτσι αυτοί έγιναν χαμένοι.
तथा ईमान वाले कहते हैं : क्या यही लोग हैं, जिन्होंने अपनी मज़बूत क़समें खाते हुए अल्लाह की क़सम खाई थी कि निःसंदेह वे निश्चय तुम्हारे साथ हैं। उनके कार्य नष्ट हो गए, अतः वे घाटा उठाने वाले हो गए।
E dicono i credenti: «Sono questi quelli che giuravano per Allāh in modo solenne di essere con voi? Sono vane le loro azioni e sono stati perdenti!”
53. O tie, kurie tiki, sakys: „Ar tai šie žmonės (veidmainiai), kurie prisiekė savo tvirčiausiomis priesaikomis Allahu, kad jie yra su jumis (musulmonais)?“ Ir visa, ką jie darė, buvo bergždžia (dėl jų veidmainiavimo), ir jie tapo pralaimėjusiaisiais.

Те, которые уверовали, скажут: «Это ли те, кто клялся Аллахом — самой твёрдой из своих клятв — что они с вами?» Их дела стали тщетными, и они оказались потерпевшими убыток.
А они који верују рећи ће: „Јесу ли то они који су се заклињали Аллахом, својом најјачом заклетвом, да су, заиста, са вама?“ Дела њихова биће поништена, и они ће да буду губитници.
Na wale walioamini wanasema: Je, hawa ndio wale walioapa kwa Mwenyezi Mungu viapo vyao vikali mno kuwa wao hakika wako pamoja nanyi? Vitendo vyao viliharibika, na wakawa wamehasirika.
Och de troende säger: ”Är det dessa som svor sina dyraste eder vid Gud att de är på vår sida?” Deras gärningar har gått om intet och nu står de som förlorare.
Müminler: "Sizinle beraber olduklarına var güçleriyle Allah’a yemin edenler bunlar mıdır?" derler. Onların amelleri boşa gitmiş ve hüsrana uğrayanlardan olmuşlardır.

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
You will see those in whose hearts is sickness racing towards them. They say, "We fear the wheel of fate may turn against us." But perhaps God will bring about victory, or some event of His making; thereupon they will regret what they concealed within themselves.
And thou seest those in whose heart is a disease race toward them, saying: We fear lest a change of fortune befall us. And it may happen that Allah will vouchsafe (unto thee) the victory, or a commandment from His presence. Then will they repent them of their secret thoughts
Thou wilt see those in whose hearts is a sickness vieing with them; they say, 'We fear lest there befall us a reverse.' It may be God will give the victory, or an order from Himself, and they may awake repenting of what they thought in secret to themselves
So shalt thou see the diseased at heart speed away to them, and say, "We fear lest a change of fortune befall us." But haply God will of himself bring about some victory or event of His own ordering: then soon will they repent them of their secret imaginings
Thou shalt see those in whose hearts there is an infirmity, to hasten unto them, saying, we fear lest some adversity befall us; but it is easy for God to give victory, or a command from Him, that they may repent of that which they concealed in their minds

The translators word this verse differently
O you who believe! Whoever of you goes back on his religion-God will bring a people whom He loves and who love Him, kind towards the believers, stern with the disbelievers. They strive in the way of God, and do not fear the blame of the critic. That is the grace of God; He bestows it upon whomever He wills. God is Embracing and Knowing.
O ye who believe! Whoso of you becometh a renegade from his religion, (know that in his stead) Allah will bring a people whom He loveth and who love Him, humble toward believers, stern toward disbelievers, striving in the way of Allah, and fearing not the blame of any blamer. Such is the grace of Allah which He giveth unto whom He will. Allah is All-Embracing, All-Knowing
O ye who believe! whoso is turned away from his religion - God will bring (instead) a people whom He loves and who love Him, lowly to believers, lofty to unbelievers, strenuous in the way of God, fearing not the blame of him who blames. That is God's grace! He gives it unto whom He pleases, for God both comprehends and knows
O ye who believe! should any of you desert His religion, God will then raise up a people loved by Him, and loving Him, lowly towards the faithful, haughty towards the Infidels. For the cause of God will they contend, and not fear the blame of the blamer. This is the Grace of God! On whom He will He bestoweth it! God is Vast, Omniscient
O true believers, whoever of you apostatizeth from his religion, God will certainly bring other people to supply his place, whom He will love, and who will love Him; who shall be humble towards the believers, but severe to the unbelievers: They shall fight for the religion of God, and shall not fear the obloquy of the detracter. This is the bounty of God, He bestoweth it on whom He pleaseth: God is extensive and wise

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 — 0.54 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.
