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.
So avoid him who has turned away from Our remembrance, and desires nothing but the present life.

Prandaj, largohu prej atij që ia kthen shpinën Këshillës Sonë (Kuranit) dhe që dëshiron vetëm jetën e kësaj bote!
অতএব, হে রাসূল! তুমি তাকে উপেক্ষা করে চল, যে আমার স্মরণ থেকে বিমুখ হয় এবং কেবল দুনিয়ার জীবনই কামনা করে।
Pa, ti se okani onoga ko se od Opomene Naše okrenuo i koji samo život na ovome svijetu želi.
Pa, ti se okani onoga tko se od Opomene Naše okrenuo i koji samo život na ovome svijetu želi.
ɗuurno oon nduntiiɗa jikru amen mbo yiɗah si wona nguurndam aduna.
მაშ, ზურგი აქციე მას, ვინც ზურგი აქცია ჩვენს გახსენებას და არაფერი სურს, გარდა ამქვეყნიური ცხოვრებისა.
So lass nun ab von jemandem, der sich von Unserer Ermahnung abkehrt und nur das diesseitige Leben will.
Απομακρύνσου λοιπόν (ω, Προφήτη) από όποιον απομακρύνθηκε από την Υπενθύμισή Μας (το Κορ’άν) και δεν επιθυμεί παρά μόνο την εγκόσμια ζωή.
अतः आप उससे मुँह फेर लें, जिसने हमारी नसीहत से मुँह मोड़ लिया और जिसने दुनिया के जीवन के सिवा कुछ नहीं चाहा।
Ignora chi ha rinnegato i Nostri Segni e non desidera che la vita terrena!
29. Todėl atsiskirk (o Muchammedai ﷺ) nuo to, kuris nusisuka nuo Mūsų Priminimo (šio Korano), ir netrokšta nieko, išskyrus gyvenimo šiame pasaulyje.
Nama yaadannoo keenya irraa garagalee, jiruu addunyaa malee hin fedhin irraa garagali.
Так отвратись же от тех, кто отстранился от Нашего напоминания и желает лишь мирской жизни.
Па, ти се остави онога ко се окренуо од Наше Опомене и који жели само овосветски живот.
Basi mwachilie mbali anayeupa kisogo ukumbusho wetu, na wala hataki ila maisha ya dunia.
Så ta avstånd från den som vänder ryggen åt vår påminnelse och som bara är ute efter detta jordiska liv.
Bu sebeple sen, zikrimizden/Kur'an'dan yüz çevirenden ve dünya hayatından başka bir şey istemeyenden uzak dur!
تو آپ اس سے منھ موڑ لیں جو ہماری یاد سے منھ موڑے اور جن کا اراده بجز زندگانیٴ دنیا کے اور کچھ نہ ہو.
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.

Lo! it is those who disbelieve in the Hereafter who name the angels with the names of females
Verily, those who believe not in the hereafter do surely name the angels with female names
Verily, it is they who believe not in the life to come, who name the angels with names of females
Verily they who believe not in the life to come give unto the angels a female appellation

They have no knowledge of that. They only follow assumptions, and assumptions are no substitute for the truth.
And they have no knowledge thereof. They follow but a guess, and lo! a guess can never take the place of the truth
but they have no knowledge thereof; they do but follow suspicion, and, verily, suspicion shall not avail against the truth at all
But herein they have no knowledge: they follow a mere conceit; and mere conceit can never take the place of truth
But they have no knowledge herein: They follow no other than a bare opinion; and a bare opinion attaineth not any thing of truth

That is the extent of their knowledge. Your Lord knows best who has strayed from His path, and He knows best who has accepted guidance.
Such is their sum of knowledge. Lo! thy Lord is Best Aware of him who strayeth, and He is Best Aware of him whom goeth right
This is their sum of knowledge; verily, thy Lord knows best who has erred from His way, and He knows best who is guided
This is the sum of their knowledge. Truly thy Lord best knoweth him who erreth from his way, and He best knoweth him who hath received guidance
This is their highest pitch of knowledge. Verily thy Lord well knoweth him who erreth from his way; and He well knoweth him who is rightly directed

To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. He will repay those who do evil according to their deeds, and recompense those who do good with the best.
And unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil with that which they have done, and reward those who do good with goodness
God's is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth, that He may reward those who do evil for what they have done; and may reward those who do good with good
And whatever is in the Heavens and in the Earth is God's that he may reward those who do evil according to their deeds: and those who do good will He reward with good things
Unto God belongeth whatever is in heaven and earth: That He may reward those who do evil, according to that which they shall have wrought; and may reward those who do well, with the most excellent reward

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 — 0.66 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.
