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.
Whoever allies himself with God, and His Messenger, and those who believe-surely the Party of God is the victorious.

Kushdo që merr për mbrojtës e mik Allahun, të Dërguarin e Tij dhe besimtarët, (le ta dijë se) pala e Allahut janë ngadhënjimtarët.
আর যে আল্লাহ, তাঁর রাসূল ও মু’মিনদের সাথে বন্ধুত্ব করে, তবে নিশ্চয় আল্লাহর দলই বিজয়ী হবে।
Onaj ko za zaštitnika uzme Allaha i Poslanika Njegova i vjernike – pa, Allahova strana će, svakako, pobijediti.
Onaj tko za zaštitnika uzme Allaha i Poslanika Njegova i vjernike – pa, Allahova strana će, svakako, pobijediti.

და ვინც თავის მეგობრად აირჩევს ალლაჰს, მის მოციქულს და მორწმუნეებს, მაშინ (ის იქნება ალლაჰის ჯგუფში), და ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰის ჯგუფი — სწორედ ისინი არიან გამარჯვებულნი.
Und wer sich Allah zum Schutzherrn nimmt und (auch) Seinen Gesandten und diejenigen, die glauben, so wird gewiss die Anhängerschaft Allahs der Sieger sein.
Όποιος παίρνει τον Αλλάχ, τον Αγγελιαφόρο Του και τους πιστούς ως κηδεμόνες (και υποστηρικτές, ας ξέρει ότι) πράγματι, η ομάδα του Αλλάχ είναι οι νικητές (αφού ο Αλλάχ είναι ο Υποστηρικτής τους).
तथा जो कोई अल्लाह और उसके रसूल को और उन लोगों को दोस्त बनाए, जो ईमान लाए हैं, तो निश्चय अल्लाह का दल ही वे लोग हैं जो प्रभावी हैं।
E quelli che prendono Allāh, il Suo Profeta e i credenti come protettori, sappiano che la fazione di Allāh è la vincitrice!
56. Ir kas laiko Allahą, Jo Pasiuntinį ir tuos, kurie patikėjo, Globėjais, tada Allaho partija bus pergalinga.

Кто избрал покровителем Аллаха, Его Посланника и тех, которые уверовали, то, воистину, сторонники Аллаха — они и есть победители!
Онај ко за заштитника узме Аллаха и Посланика Његовог и вернике - па, Аллахова страна ће, свакако, да победи.
Na mwenye kumfanya rafiki wandani Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake na wale walioamini, basi hakika kundi la Mwenyezi Mungu ndio wenye kushinda.
Den som håller sig till Gud, hans sändebud och de troende [ska veta att] det är Guds skara som är de segerrika.
Kim Allah’ı, peygamberini ve iman edenleri veli edinirse (bilsin ki), elbette Allah’ın taraftarları galip gelecektir.
اور جو شخص اللہ تعالیٰ سے اور اس کے رسول سے اور مسلمانوں سے دوستی کرے، وه یقین مانے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ کی جماعت ہی غالب رہے گی۔[1]
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.
shown so it's never read alone

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

Your allies are God, and His Messenger, and those who believe-those who pray regularly, and give charity, and bow down.
Your guardian can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poordue, and bow down (in prayer)
God only is your patron, and His Apostle and those who believe, who are steadfast in prayer and give alms, bowing down
Verily, your protector is God and His Apostle, and those who believe, who observe prayer, and pay the alms of obligation, and who bow in worship
Verily your protector is God, and his apostle, and those who believe, who observe the stated times of prayer, and give alms, and who bow down to worship

O you who believe! Do not befriend those who take your religion in mockery and as a sport, be they from among those who were given the Scripture before you, or the disbelievers. And obey God, if you are believers.
O Ye who believe! Choose not for guardians such of those who received the Scripture before you, and of the disbelievers, as make a jest and sport of your religion. But keep your duty to Allah if ye are true believers
O ye who believe! take not for patrons those who take your religion for a jest or a sport, from amongst those who have been given the Book before and the misbelievers; but fear God if ye be believers
O ye who believe! take not such of those who have received the Scriptures before you, as scoff and jest at your religion, or the Infidels, for your friends, but fear God if ye are believers
O true believers, take not such of those to whom the scriptures were delivered before you, or of the infidels, for your friends, who make a laughingstock, and a jest of your religion; but fear God, if ye be 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 — 0.67 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.
