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.
That ye grieve not for the sake of that which hath escaped you, nor yet exult because of that which hath been given. Allah loveth not all prideful boasters

që të mos dëshpëroheni për atë që ju ikën dhe të mos gëzoheni tepër për atë që Ai jua jep. Allahu nuk i do ata që janë mendjemëdhenj e mburravecë,
যাতে তোমরা আফসোস না করো সে প্রসঙ্গে, যা তোমরা হারিয়েছো এবং তোমরা উৎফুল্ল না হও তিনি তোমাদেরকে যে নি‘আমত দিয়েছেন তার কারণে। আর আল্লাহ কোন উদ্ধত ও অহংকারীকে পছন্দ করেন না।
da ne biste tugovali za onim što vam je promaklo, a i da se ne biste previše radovali onome što vam On dadne. Allah ne voli nikakve razmetljivce, hvalisavce,
da ne biste tugovali za onim što vam je promaklo, a i da se ne biste previše radovali onome što vam On dadne. Allah ne voli nikakve razmetljivce, hvalisavce,
Ko fii wota on cuno e ko laawii on kon, ngonaa kadi weltorgol ko o okki on kon. Allah yiɗaa kala ñaaƴoowo, mantiiɗo.
რათა არ იდარდოთ იმის გამო, რაც თქვენ აგცდათ [რომ არ თქვათ: "ო, ნეტავ ასე მოვქცეულიყავი, მაშინ ასე იქნებოდა"], და არც ამპარტავნულად არ გახარებულიყავით იმით, რაც მან მოგმადლათ. და ალლაჰს არ უყვარს არცერთი ამპარტავანი [ქედმაღალი], ქედმაღლურად მოტრაბახე.
damit ihr nicht betrübt seid über das, was euch entgangen ist, und euch nicht (zu sehr) freut über das, was Er euch gegeben hat. Und Allah liebt keinen, der eingebildet und prahlerisch ist,
Για να μη στεναχωριέστε για ό,τι σας ξέφυγε ή διέφυγε (από την εγκόσμια ζωή), ούτε να χαίρεστε με αλαζονεία για ό,τι σας έδωσε. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ δεν αγαπά κανέναν αλαζόνα που καυχιέται.
ताकि तुम उसपर शोक न करो, जो तुमसे छूट जाए और उसपर फूल न जाओ, जो वह तुम्हें प्रदान करे। और अल्लाह किसी अहंकार करने वाले, बहुत गर्व करने वाले से प्रेम नहीं करता।
affinché non vi rattristiate per ciò che vi è sfuggito, e non vi rallegriate per ciò che vi è toccato. E Allāh non ama ogni superbo e altezzoso:
23. Tam, kad jūs neliūdėtumėte dalykuose, kurių jums nepavyksta gauti, ir nesidžiaugtumėte tuo, kas jums buvo duota. Allahas nemėgsta išdidžių pagyrūnų.
Akka waan isin jalaa dabre irratti hin yaaddofneefi, waan (Rabbiin) isiniif kennettis (garmalee) hin gammadneefi (kana godhe). Rabbiin nama boonaa, dhaaddataa hunda hin jaallatu.
[Это —] для того, чтобы вы не скорбели о том, что миновало вас, и не ликовали из-за того, что Он даровал вам. А Аллах не любит всякого хвастливого, самодовольного.
да не бисте туговали за оним што вам је промакло, а и да се не бисте превише радовали ономе што вам Он подари. Аллах не воли никакве разметљивце, хвалисавце,
Ili msihuzunike kwa kilichokupoteeni, wala msijitape kwa alichokupeni. Na Mwenyezi Mungu hampendi kila anayejivuna akajifahirisha.
Detta är för att ni inte ska sörja över det ni går miste om och inte heller fröjdas högmodigt över det ni får. Gud tycker inte om självgoda översittare –
Elinizden çıkana üzülmeyesiniz ve Allah’ın size verdiği nimetlerle şımarmayasınız diye (böyle yaptık.) Çünkü Allah, kendini beğenip övünen hiçbir kimseyi sevmez.
تاکہ تم اپنے سے فوت شده کسی چیز پر رنجیده نہ ہو جایا کرو اور نہ عطا کرده چیز پر اترا جاؤ[1] ، اور اترانے والے شیخی خوروں کو اللہ پسند نہیں فرماتا.
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.

Those who are stingy, and induce people to be stingy. Whoever turns away-God is the Independent, the Praiseworthy.
Who hoard and who enjoin upon the people avarice. And whosoever turneth away, still Allah is the Absolute, the Owner of Praise
who are niggardly and bid men be niggardly: but whoso turns his back, verily, God is rich, praiseworthy
Who are covetous themselves and incite others to covetousness. But whose turneth away from almsgiving - Ah! God is the Rich, the Praiseworthy
or those who are covetous, and command men covetousness. And whoso turneth aside from giving alms; verily God is self-sufficient, worthy to be praised

We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in which is violent force, and benefits for humanity. That God may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. God is Strong and Powerful.

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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 — 0.82 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.
