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.
Had God not decreed exile for them, He would have punished them in this life. But in the Hereafter they will have the punishment of the Fire.

Sikur Allahu të mos ua kishte caktuar dëbimin, do t’i kishte ndëshkuar në këtë botë. Ndërkaq, në botën tjetër, ata i pret dënimi i Zjarrit.
আর যদি আল্লাহ তাদের জন্য নির্বাসন লিপিবদ্ধ না করতেন, তবে তিনি তাদেরকে দুনিয়াতে (৩) শাস্তি দিতেন এবং তাদের জন্য আখিরাতে রয়েছে জাহান্নামের শাস্তি।
A da im Allah nije već bio propisao izgnanstvo, On bi ih drugoj patnji još na ovome svijetu podvrgao! A njima na onome svijetu pripada patnja u Vatri.
A da im Allah nije već bio propisao izgnanstvo, On bi ih drugoj patnji još na ovome svijetu podvrgao! A njima na onome svijetu pripada patnja u Vatri.
Si alla farlaana e mum en yaltineede ma o leptuɓe e aduna woodanaɓe lepte yiite.
და ალლაჰს რომ არ დაეწერა მათთვის გადასახლება, უთუოდ დასჯიდა მათ ამქვეყნად. და საიქიოში მათთვისაა ცეცხლის სასჯელი.
Und wenn Allah ihnen nicht die Verbannung vorgeschrieben hätte, hätte Er sie fürwahr im Diesseits gestraft; und im Jenseits wird es für sie die Strafe des (Höllen)feuers geben.
Και αν δεν έγραφε (έκρινε) ο Αλλάχ την εξορία γι’ αυτούς, θα τους τιμωρούσε σίγουρα σ' αυτόν τον κόσμο· και στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή θα έχουν το μαρτύριο του Πυρός.
और यदि अल्लाह ने उनपर देश-निकाला न लिख दिया होता, तो निश्चय वह उन्हें दुनिया ही में यातना देता तथा उनके लिए आख़िरत में आग की यातना है।
E se Allāh non avesse già stabilito per loro l’esilio, li avrebbe tormentati in terra e li aspetta nell’Aldilà la punizione del Fuoco:
3. Ir jei nebūtų užrašęs Allahas jiems ištrėmimo, Jis būtų nubaudęs juos (šiame) gyvenime, o Amžinybėje jiems – Ugnies bausmė.
Odoo Rabbiin (Madiinaa keessaa) baqa isaan irratti barreessuu baatee, silaa addunyaa keessatti isaan adaba ture. Isaaniif Aakhiraa keessatti adabbii ibiddaatu jira.
И если бы Аллах не предначертал им изгнание, то непременно наказал бы их в этом мире. А в Последней жизни для них — наказание адского огня.
А да им Аллах није већ био прописао изгнанство, Он би их другој патњи још на овом свету подвргао! А њима на Будућем свету припада патња у Ватри.
Na lau kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu asingeliwaandikia kutoka, angeliwaadhibu katika dunia. Na katika Akhera watapata adhabu ya Moto.
Om inte Gud hade bestämt att de skulle fördrivas hade han straffat dem i detta liv; och i det kommande livet väntar dem eldens plåga.
Eğer Allah, onlara sürgünü yazmamış olsaydı, elbette onları dünyada cezalandıracaktı. Ahirette de onlar için Cehennem azabı vardır.
اور اگر اللہ تعالیٰ نے ان پر جلا وطنی کو مقدر نہ کر دیا ہوتا تو یقیناً انہیں دنیا ہی میں عذاب دیتا[1] ، اور آخرت میں (تو) ان کے لیے آگ کا عذاب ہے ہی.
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.

It is He who evicted those who disbelieved among the People of the Book from their homes at the first mobilization. You did not think they would leave, and they thought their fortresses would protect them from God. But God came at them from where they never expected, and threw terror into their hearts. They wrecked their homes with their own hands, and by the hands of the believers. Therefore, take a lesson, O you who have insight.
He it is Who hath caused those of the People of the Scripture who disbelieved to go forth from their homes unto the first exile. Ye deemed not that they would go forth, while they deemed that their strongholds would protect them from Allah. But Allah reached them from a place whereof they recked not, and cast terror in their hearts so that they ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers. So learn a lesson, O ye who have eyes
He it was who drove those of the people of the Book who misbelieved forth from their houses, at the first emigration; ye did not think that they would go forth, and they thought that their fortresses would defend them against God; but God came upon them from whence they did not reckon, and cast dread into their hearts! They ruined their houses with their own hands and the hands of the believers; wherefore take example, O ye who are endowed with sight
He it is who caused the unbelievers among the people of the Book to quit their homes and join those who had EMIGRATED previously. Ye did not think that they would quit them; and they on their part thought that their fortresses would protect them against God: But God came upon them whence they looked not for Him, and cast such fear into their hearts that by their own hands as well as by the hands of the victorious believers they demolished their houses! Profit by this example ye who are men of insight
It was He who caused those who believed not, of the people who receive the scripture, to depart from their habitations at the first emigration. Ye did not think that they would go forth: And they thought that their fortresses would protect them against God. But the chastisement of God came upon them, from whence they did not expect, and He cast terror into their hearts. They pulled down their houses with their own hands, and the hands of the true believers. Wherefore take example from them, O ye who have eyes

That is because they opposed God and His Messenger. Whoever opposes God-God is stern in retribution.

The translators word this verse differently
Whether you cut down a tree, or leave it standing on its trunk, it is by God's will. He will surely disgrace the sinners.
Whatsoever palm-trees ye cut down or left standing on their roots, it was by Allah's leave, in order that He might confound the evil-livers
What palm trees ye did cut down or what ye left standing upon their roots was by God's permission, and to disgrace the workers of abomination
Your cutting down some of their palm trees and sparing others was by God's permission, and to put the wicked to shame
What palm-trees ye cut down, or left standing on their roots, were so cut down or left by the will of God; and that He might disgrace the wicked doers

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 — 0.60 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.
