Fear ye to offer alms before your conference? Then, when ye do it not and Allah hath forgiven you, establish worship and pay the poor-due and obey Allah and His messenger. And Allah is Aware of what ye do

Do ye fear to give alms previously to your discoursing with the prophet, lest ye should impoverish yourselves?

A mos po frikësoheni (nga varfëria) të jepni lëmoshë para bisedës suaj veçmas (me të Dërguarin)?! Meqë nuk e bëtë këtë dhe Allahu jua fali, atëherë faleni namazin, jepeni zekatin dhe bindjuni Allahut e të Dërguarit të Tij! Allahu di mirë gjithçka që bëni.
তোমরা কি (রাসূলের সাথে) একান্ত পরামর্শের পূর্বে সাদাকা পেশ করতে (অভাবের) ভয় করছো? অত:পর তোমরা যখন সাদাকা দিতে পারলে না, আর আল্লাহও তোমাদের ক্ষমা করে দিলেন, তখন তোমরা সালাত কায়িম করো, যাকাত দাও এবং আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলের আনুগত্য করো।জেনে রেখো, তোমরা যে আমলই করো, আল্লাহ সে সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবগত।
Zar vas je strah da prije razgovora svoga sadaku udijelite?! A ako ne udijelite i Allah vam oprosti, onda namaz obavljajte i zekat dajite i budite pokorni Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu! Allah u potpunosti zna ono što vi radite.
Zar vas je strah da prije razgovora svoga milostinju udijelite?! A ako ne udijelite i Allah vam oprosti, onda molitvu obavljajte i zekat dajite i budite pokorni Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu! Allah u potpunosti zna ono što vi radite.

Scheut ihr davor, schon vor eurem vertraulichen Gespräch Almosen zu geben? Wenn ihr (es) nicht tut, Allah Sich euch aber reueannehmend zuwendet, dann verrichtet das Gebet und entrichtet die Pflichtabgabe, und gehorcht Allah und Seinem Gesandten. Und Allah ist kundig dessen, was ihr tut.
Φοβάσθε (από τη φτώχεια) να παρουσιάσετε μια ελεημοσύνη πριν από την ιδιωτική συνομιλία (διαβούλευσή) σας (με τον Προφήτη); Αν όμως δεν το κάνετε, και ο Αλλάχ σας συγχωρέσει (επειδή σας επέτρεψε να μην παρουσιάσετε ελεημοσύνη όταν δεν βρείτε τα μέσα), τότε (τουλάχιστον) τελείτε την προσευχή και δώστε τη Ζακά (ετήσια υποχρεωτική ελεημοσύνη) και υπακούστε τον Αλλάχ και τον Αγγελιαφόρο Του. Και ο Αλλάχ για ό,τι κάνετε έχει απεριόριστη γνώση.
क्या तुम इससे डर गए कि अपनी गुप्त रूप से बात-चीत से पहले कुछ दान करो? सो, जब तुमने ऐसा नहीं किया और अल्लाह ने तुम्हें क्षमा कर दिया, तो नमाज़ कायम करो तथा ज़कात दो और अल्लाह तथा उसके रसूल की आज्ञा का पालन करो और तुम जो कुछ करते हो, अल्लाह उससे पूरी तरह अवगत है।
Vi siete forse turbati, prima del vostro conciliabolo, nell’offrire l’elemosina? Se non lo fate – e Allāh vi ha perdonati – praticate la preghiera con devozione e osservate la «Zekēt» e obbedite ad Allāh e al Suo Messaggero. E Allāh è Conoscitore delle vostre azioni.

Неужели вы побоялись предварить пожертвованиями свою тайную беседу? А раз вы не сделали этого и Аллах принял ваше покаяние, то выстаивайте молитву, выплачивайте закят и повинуйтесь Аллаху и Его Посланнику. А Аллах — сведущий о том, что вы совершаете.
Зар вас је страх да пре разговора свога уделите милостињу?! А ако не уделите и Аллах вам опрости, онда обављајте молитву и дајте обавезну милостињу и будите покорни Аллаху и Његовом Посланику! Аллах у потпуности зна оно што ви радите.

Drog ni er för att ge allmosor före era enskilda samtal [av rädsla för fattigdom]? När ni nu lät bli och Gud har tagit emot er ånger, förrätta då bönen, ge den obligatoriska allmosan och lyd Gud och hans sändebud. Gud är väl medveten om vad ni gör.
Gizli bir şey konuşmanızdan önce sadakalar verip (fakir olmaktan) çekindiniz mi? (Size emredileni) yapmadığınıza (göre), Allah da sizi affetti. Artık namazı ikame edin, zekâtı verin, Allah'a ve Rasûlüne itaat edin. Allah, yaptığınız her şeyden haberdardır.

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.

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 — 0.67 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.
