The bismillah opens this surah. It belongs to the surah, not to verse 1, and is shown unnumbered as a mushaf shows it.
قَدْ سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ قَوْلَ ٱلَّتِى تُجَٰدِلُكَ فِى زَوْجِهَا وَتَشْتَكِىٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحَاوُرَكُمَآ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ

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.
God has heard the statement of she who argued with you concerning her husband, as she complained to God. God heard your conversation. God is Hearing and Seeing.

আল্লাহ অবশ্যই সেই নারীর(১) কথা শুনেছেন, যে তার স্বামীর ব্যাপারে তোমার সঙ্গে (যিহার প্রসঙ্গে) বাদানুবাদ করছিল এবং আল্লাহর কাছে ফরিয়াদ করছিল। আর আল্লাহ তোমাদের উভয়ের কথোপকথন শুনছিলেন। নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বদ্রষ্টা।

ჭეშმარიტად, შეისმინა ალლაჰმა იმ [ქალის] სიტყვა[1], რომელიც გეკამათებოდა თავისი ქმრის გამო და შესჩიოდა ალლაჰს. და ალლაჰს ესმოდა თქვენი საუბარი. ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმხედველია.
Gehört hat ja bereits Allah die Aussage derjenigen, die mit dir über ihren Gatten streitet und sich bei Allah beklagt, während Allah euren Wortwechsel hört. Wahrlich, Allah ist allhörend und allsehend.
(Ω, Μωχάμμαντ!) Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ άκουσε τα λόγια εκείνης (της Χάουλας, κόρης του Θά‘λαμπα), που διαφώνησε συζητώντας μαζί σου, σχετικά με το σύζυγό της (τον Άους, γιο του Ασ-Σάμιτ που της είπε: «Είσαι για μένα σαν την πλάτη της μητέρας μου.» Δηλ. καθιστώ απαγορευμένο για μένα να σε πλησιάσω, αλλά χωρίς να σε χωρίσω. Αυτό ήταν ένα είδος διαζυγίου που λεγόταν "Αδ-Διχάρ" που επικρατούσε πριν το Ισλάμ. Έτσι, οι γυναίκες δεν ήταν ούτε παντρεμένες ούτε ελεύθερες για να παντρευτούν κάποιον άλλο), και απευθύνει το πρόβλημά της (προσευχόμενη) στον Αλλάχ (για να τη βοηθήσει να το επιλύσει). Και ο Αλλάχ ακούει τη συζήτηση (και τα επιχειρήματα και των δύο) σας. Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα) και Μπασείρ (Αυτός που βλέπει τα Πάντα).
निश्चय अल्लाह ने उस स्त्री की बात सुन ली, जो (ऐ रसूल) आपसे अपने पति के बारे में झगड़ रही थी तथा अल्लाह से शिकायत कर रही थी और अल्लाह तुम दोनों का वार्तालाप सुन रहा था। निःसंदेह अल्लाह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ देखने वाला है।
Allāh ha udito il dibattito di quella che ti interrogava su suo marito, e implorava Allāh, e Allāh ascolta il vostro dialogo. In verità Allāh è Ascoltatore, Osservatore.
1. Be abejonės Allahas girdėjo kalbą besiginčijančios (t. y. besiteisinančios) su tavimi (Muchammedai ﷺ ), dėl savo sutuoktinio ir besiskundžiančios Allahui. Ir Allahas girdi judviejų pokalbį. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Matantis.

ДДействительно, Аллах услышал слова той, которая пререкалась с тобой о своём муже и жаловалась Аллаху, тогда как Аллах слышит ваш разговор. Воистину, Аллах — слышащий, видящий.
Аллах је чуо речи оне која се са тобом о своме мужу расправљала и Аллаху се јадала, а Аллах чује ваш међусобни разговор. Аллах, уистину, све чује и све види.
Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu amekwishasikia usemi wa mwanamke anayejadiliana nawe juu ya mumewe, na anamlalamikia Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu anayasikia majibizano yenu. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusikia mno, Mwenye kuona zaidi.
Gud har sannerligen hört kvinnan som vädjade till dig om sin make och lyfte sin klagan till Gud. Ja, Gud hörde ert samtal; han hör allt, ser allt.
Allah, kocası hakkında seninle tartışan ve Allah'a şikâyette bulunan kadının sözünü duydu. Allah sizin karşılıklı konuşmanızı işitiyordu. Şüphesiz Allah; hakkıyla işitendir, hakkıyla görendir.
یقیناً اللہ تعالیٰ نے اس عورت کی بات سنی جو تجھ سے اپنے شوہر کے بارے میں تکرار کر رہی تھی اور اللہ کے آگے شکایت کر رہی تھی، اللہ تعالیٰ تم دونوں کے سوال وجواب سن رہا تھا[1] ، بیشک اللہ تعالیٰ سننے دیکھنے واﻻ ہے.
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.

58:1 — the verse above
ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَٰتِهِمْ إِنْ أُمَّهَٰتُهُمْ إِلَّا ٱلَّٰٓـِٔى وَلَدْنَهُمْ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَرًا مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَزُورًا وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌ

Those of you who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers-they are not their mothers. Their mothers are none else but those who gave birth to them. What they say is evil, and a blatant lie. But God is Pardoning and Forgiving.
Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) - They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth - they indeed utter an ill word and a lie. And lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
Those among you who back out of their wives they are not their mothers: their mothers are only those who gave them birth; and, verily, they speak a wrong speech and a false. Verily, God both pardons and forgives
As to those of you who put away their wives by saying, "Be thou to me as my mother's back" their mothers they are not; they only are their mothers who gave them birth! they certainly say a blameworthy thing and an untruth: But truly, God is Forgiving, Indulgent
As to those among you who divorce their wives, by declaring that they will thereafter regard them as their mothers; let them know that they are not their mothers. They only are their mothers who brought them forth; and they certainly utter an unjustifiable saying, and a falsehood: But God is gracious and ready to forgive
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُظَٰهِرُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا۟ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّا ذَٰلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ

Those who estrange their wives by equating them with their mothers, then go back on what they said, must set free a slave before they may touch one another. To this you are exhorted, and God is well aware of what you do.
Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do
But those who back out of their wives and then would recall their speech,- then the manumission of a captive before they touch each other; that is what ye are admonished, and God of what ye do is well aware
And those who thus put away their wives, and afterwards would recall their words, must free a captive before they can come together again. To this are ye warned to conform: and God is aware of what ye do
Those who divorce their wives by declaring that they will for the future regard them as their mothers, and afterwards would repair what they have said, shall be obliged to free a captive, before they touch one another. This is what ye are warned to perform: And God is well apprized of that which ye do

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.
