Ne e dërguam Nuhun e Ibrahimin dhe pasardhësve të tyre u dhamë pejgamberinë dhe Librin. Prej tyre pati të udhëzuar, por shumë prej tyre ishin të pabindur.
আর অবশ্যই আমি নূহ ও ইবরাহীমকে রাসুলরূপে পাঠিয়েছিলাম এবং তাদের বংশধরদের মধ্যে নবুওয়াত ও কিতাব দিয়েছিলাম। তারপর তাদের (সন্তানদের) মধ্যে কেউ কেউ সঠিক পথ অবলম্বনকারী ছিল, আর তাদের অধিকাংশই ছিল ফাসিক।
Mi smo Nuha i Ibrahima poslali, i nekima od potomaka njihovih objavu i vjerovjesništvo dali; neki su od potomaka njihovih na Pravom putu, a mnogi od njih su grešnici.
Mi smo Nou i Abrahama poslali, i nekima od potomaka njihovih objavu i vjerovjesništvo dali; neki su od potomaka njihovih na Pravom putu, a mnogi od njih su grešnici.
Gooŋɗii Min nulii Nuuhu e Ibraahiima, Min maɗi e geñngol maɓɓe ngol Annabaaku e defte. Hino e maɓɓe feewuɓe, ko ɗuuɗi kon e maɓɓe ko faasiqiiɓe.
და ჩვენ წარვგზავნეთ ნუჰი და იბრაჰიმი და დავადგინეთ მათ შთამომავლობაში წინასწარმეტყველება და წიგნი. და მათ შორის [მის შთამომავლობაში] არიან, ვინც მართალ გზას მიჰყვება, მაგრამ ბევრი მათგანი ურჩია (ალლაჰისადმი).
Und Wir sandten ja bereits Nuh und Ibrahim und machten in ihrer Nachkommenschaft das Prophetentum und die Schrift. So gab es unter ihnen einige Rechtgeleitete, aber viele von ihnen waren Frevler.
Πράγματι, στείλαμε τον Νώε και τον Αβραάμ, και κάναμε από τους απογόνους τους να υπάρχουν Προφήτες, και σ' αυτούς στείλαμε τα Βιβλία (την Τορά στον Μωυσή, το Αζ-Ζαμπούρ στον Δαβίδ, το Ιν-τζήλ στον Ιησού και το Κορ’άν στον Μωχάμμαντ). Όμως, υπάρχουν απ' αυτούς (τους απογόνους τους) εκείνοι που καθοδηγούνται, αλλά οι περισσότεροι απ' αυτούς είναι ανυπάκουοι.
और निःसंदेह हमने नूह़ और इबराहीम को (रसूल बनाकर) भेजा, और उन दोनों की संतान में नुबुव्वत तथा पुस्तक रख दी। फिर उनमें से कुछ सीधे मार्ग पर चलने वाले हैं और उनमें से बहुत-से लोग अवज्ञाकारी हैं।
Ed inviammo Nūħ ed Ibrāhīm, e concedemmo ai loro discendenti la Profezia e il Libro; alcuni tra loro seguirono la Retta Via e molti di loro furono trasgressori.
26. Ir iš tiesų Mes atsiuntėme Nūhą (Nojų) ir Ibrahimą (Abraomą), ir padarėme tarp jų palikuonių Pranašystes ir Raštus. Ir tarp jų yra tie, kurie yra vedami (teisingai), bet dauguma jų yra Fasikūn (maištaujantys, nepaklusnūs Allahui).
Dhugumatti, Nuuhiifi Ibraahiimiin erginee jirra. Sanyii isaan lamaanii keessatti nabiyyummaafi kitaaba (isaanirratti buufame) goonee jirra. Isaan irraa namoota qajeelantu jira; baay’een isaan irraa ta’an immoo finciltoota.
Действительно, Мы отправили Нуха и Ибрахима и установили в их потомстве пророчество и Писание. Среди них есть идущие верным путём, но многие из них — нечестивцы.
Ми смо послали Ноја и Аврама, и некима од њихових потомака смо објаву и веровесништво дали; неки су од њихових потомака на Правом путу, а многи од њих су неверници.
Na bila ya shaka tulimtuma Nuhu na Ibrahim, na tukaweka katika dhuriya zao Unabii na Kitabu. Basi wapo miongoni mwao walioongoka, na wengi katika wao ni wavukao mipaka.
Vi sände Noa och Abraham, och i deras ätt lät vi profetskapet och skrifterna gå vidare. En del [av deras avkomma] följde den rätta vägen men många av dem valde att trotsa.
-Andolsun ki biz, Nûh’u ve İbrahim’i gönderdik. Peygamberliği de kitabı da onların soyuna verdik. Onlardan hidayete erişen olduğu gibi, çoğu fâsıklardır/yoldan çıkmıştır.
بیشک ہم نے نوح اور ابراہیم (علیہ السلام) کو (پیغمبر بنا کر) بھیجا اور ہم نے ان دونوں کی اوﻻد میں پیغمبری اور کتاب جاری رکھی تو ان میں سے کچھ تو راه یافتہ ہوئے اور ان میں سے اکثر بہت نافرمان رہے.
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
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

Then We sent in their wake Our messengers, and followed up with Jesus son of Mary, and We gave him the Gospel, and instilled in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy. But as for the monasticism which they invented-We did not ordain it for them-only to seek God's approval. But they did not observe it with its due observance. So We gave those of them who believed their reward, but many of them are sinful.
Then We caused Our messengers to follow in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus, son of Mary, to follow, and gave him the Gospel, and placed compassion and mercy in the hearts of those who followed him. But monasticism they invented - We ordained it not for them - only seeking Allah's pleasure, and they observed it not with right observance.

Then we followed up their footsteps with our apostles; and we followed them up with Jesus the son of Mary; and we gave him the gospel; and we placed in the hearts of those who followed him kindness and compassion.- But monkery, they invented it; we only prescribed to them the craving after the goodwill of God, and they observed it not with due observance. But we gave to those who believe amongst them their hire; though many amongst them were workers of abomination
Then we caused our apostles to follow in their footsteps; and we caused Jesus the son of Mary to follow them; and we gave him the Evangel, and we put into the hearts of those who followed him kindness and compassion: but as to the monastic life, they invented it themselves.

Afterwards We caused our apostles to succeed in their footsteps; and We caused Jesus the son of Mary to succeed them, and We gave him the gospel: And We put in the hearts of those who followed him, compassion and mercy: But as to the monastic state, they instituted the same -- We did not prescribe it to them -- only out of a desire to please God; yet they observed not the same as it ought truly to have been observed.

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 — 0.55 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.
