Me të vërtetë, Ne krijuam qiejt e Tokën dhe gjithçka që gjendet ndërmjet tyre për gjashtë ditë, pa ndier kurrfarë lodhjeje.
আর অবশ্যই আমি আসমানসমূহ ও জমিন এবং এতদুভয়ের মধ্যবর্তী সবকিছু ছয় দিনে সৃষ্টি করেছি। আর এতে আমাকে কোনরূপ ক্লান্তি স্পর্শ করেনি।(১৩)
Mi smo stvorili nebesa i Zemlju i ono što je između njih za šest dana, i nije Nas ophrvao nikakav umor.
Mi smo stvorili nebesa i Zemlju i ono što je između njih za šest vremenskih razdoblja, i nije Nas ophrvao nikakav umor.
Gooŋɗii Min tagii kammuuji ɗiin e leydi ndin e kon ko woni hakkunde majji, ndeer balɗe jeegoo, tampere woo heɓaani Min.
და ჩვენ შევქმენით ცანი და დედამიწა და რაც მათ შორისაა ექვს დღეში და არანაირი დაღლილობა არ შეგვხებია.
Und Wir haben ja die Himmel und die Erde und das, was dazwischen ist, in sechs Tagen erschaffen, wobei Uns keine Ermüdung überkommen hat.
Πράγματι, δημιουργήσαμε τους ουρανούς και τη γη, και ό,τι βρίσκεται ανάμεσά τους, σε έξι Ημέρες, και καμία κόπωση δε Μας άγγιξε.
तथा निश्चय हमने आकाशों एवं धरती को और जो कुछ उन दोनों के बीच है, छह दिनों में पैदा किया और हमें कोई थकान नहीं हुई।
E abbiamo in verità creato i cieli e la terra e ciò che c’è di mezzo in sei giorni, e non Ci ha preso fatica.
38. Ir iš tiesų, Mes sukūrėme dangus ir žemę ir viską, kas tarp jų, per šešias Dienas, ir niekas Mūsų nenuvargino.
Dhugumatti, Nuti samiileefi dachii, wantoota gidduu isaanii jiran guyyoota jaha keessatti uumne; dadhabbirraa homtuu Nu hin tuqne.
Действительно, Мы сотворили небеса и землю, и всё, что между ними, за шесть дней, и Нас не коснулась усталость.
Ми смо створили небеса и Земљу и оно што је између њих за шест временских раздобља, и није Нас опхрвао никакав умор.
Na bila ya shaka Sisi tumeziumba mbingu na ardhi na vilivyo baina yake katika siku sita; na wala hayakutugusa machovu yoyote.[1]
Vi skapade förvisso himlarna och jorden och allt däremellan under sex dagar, och det tröttade oss inte det minsta.
Gökleri, yeri ve ikisi arasındakileri altı günde yarattık. Hiçbir yorgunluk da dokunmadı.
یقیناً ہم نے آسمانوں اور زمین اور جو کچھ اس کے درمیان ہے سب کو (صرف) چھ دن میں پیدا کر دیا اور ہمیں تکان نے چھوا تک نہیں.
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
How many generations before them, who were more powerful than they, did We destroy? They explored the lands-was there any escape?
And how many a generation We destroyed before them, who were mightier than these in prowess so that they overran the lands! Had they any place of refuge (when the judgment came)
How many a generation have we destroyed before them, mightier than they in prowess! Pass through the land, is there any refuge
And how many generations have we destroyed ere the days of these (Meccans), mightier than they in strength! Search ye then the land. Is there any escape
How many generations have We destroyed before the Meccans, which were more mighty than they in strength? Pass, therefore, through the regions of the earth, and see whether there be any refuge from our vengeance

Lo! herein is warning for him who hath a heart, or giveth ear, and is himself an eye-witness

So endure what they say, and proclaim the praises of your Lord before the rising of the sun, and before sunset.
Therefor (O Muhammad) bear with what they say, and hymn the praise of thy Lord before the rising and before the setting of the sun
Be thou patient then of what they say, and celebrate the praises of thy Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting
Wherefore put up with what they say, and celebrate the praise of thy Lord before sunrise and before sunset
Wherefore patiently suffer what they say; and celebrate the praise of thy Lord before sun-rise, and before sun-set

And glorify Him during the night, and at the end of devotions.

And through (some) of the night celebrate His praise and the additional adorations
And praise Him in the night: and perform the two final prostrations
and praise Him in some part of the night: And perform the additional parts of worship

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 — 0.34 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.
