Had God willed, they would not have practiced idolatry. We did not appoint you as a guardian over them, and you are not a manager over them.

Sikur të donte Allahu, ata nuk do t'i shoqëronin Atij asgjë (në adhurim). Ne nuk të kemi bërë ty rojtar të tyre e as që je përgjegjës për ta.
আর যদি আল্লাহ চাইতেন, তারা শিরক করতো না। আমি তোমাকে তাদের ওপর রক্ষক নিযুক্ত করিনি এবং তুমি তাদের ওপর তত্ত্বাবধায়ক নও।(২০)
Da Allah hoće, oni ne bi širk činili, a Mi tebe nismo dali da ih nadzireš niti si ti za njih zadužen.
Da Allah hoće, oni ne bi druge obožavali, a Mi tebe nismo dali da ih nadzireš niti si ti za njih zadužen.
Sinno Alla muuyuno, ɓe ciirkataano! min mbaɗaani ma e dow maɓɓe deewnoowo ; a wonaani kadi e dow maɓɓe pawtiiɗo.(deenoowo)
თუ ალლაჰს სურდა (რომ ამ მრავალღმერთიანებს არ აერჩიათ სხვა ღმერთები მის გარდა), ისინი არ დაუდგენდნენ მას თანამოზიარეებს [ის მათ მორწმუნეებად აქცევდა][1]. და ჩვენ არ გაგხადეთ შენ (ო, მოციქულო) მათი მცველი, და არც მათზე პასუხისმგებელი ხარ.
Und wenn Allah gewollt hätte, hätten sie (Ihm) nicht(s) beigesellt. Wir haben dich nicht zum Hüter über sie gemacht und bist du nicht (als) Sachwalter über sie (eingesetzt).
Αν ήθελε ο Αλλάχ, δε θα είχαν αποδώσει εταίρους σ' Αυτόν στη λατρεία. Όμως, δεν σε ορίσαμε παρατηρητή πάνω τους, ούτε είσαι ο κηδεμόνας τους.
और यदि अल्लाह चाहता, तो वे लोग साझी न बनाते, तथा हमने आपको उनपर संरक्षक नहीं बनाया और न आप उनके कोई निरीक्षक हैं।[68]
E se Allāh avesse in verità voluto, non Gli avrebbero assimilato nessun altro. E non ti abbiamo posto come loro custode, e non sei loro protettore.
107. Jei Allahas būtų panorėjęs, jie nebūtų priskyrę kitų Jam garbinime. Ir Mes nepadarėme tavęs jų sergėtoju, nei esi tu Vakil (reikalų tvarkytojas, saugotojas, globėjas) jiems.
Odoo Rabbiin fedhee, silaa (isatti) hin qindeessanu ture, Isaan irratti tiksaa si hin goone, Ati isaan irratti moosifamaa miti.
Если бы Аллах пожелал, они не придавали бы Ему сотоварищей. Мы не сделали тебя над ними хранителем, и ты за них — вовсе не поручитель.
Да Аллах хоће, они не би друга божанства обожавали, а Ми тебе нисмо учинили да над њима бдиш нити си ти за њих задужен.
Na lau Mwenyezi Mungu angelipenda, wasingelimshirikisha. Na Sisi hatukukufanya wewe uwe mtunzaji wao. Wala wewe si mlinzi juu yao.
Om Gud hade velat, skulle de inte ha dyrkat avgudar. Vi har inte gjort dig till en väktare över dem, och du styr inte över dem.
Eğer Allah dileseydi onlar şirk koşmazlardı. Seni onlara gözetici kılmadık. Sen onlara vekil de değilsin.
اور اگر اللہ تعالیٰ کو منظور ہوتا تو یہ شرک نہ کرتے[1] اور ہم نے آپ کو ان کا نگران نہیں بنایا۔ اور نہ آپ ان پر مختار ہیں![2]
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
We thus diversify the revelations, lest they say, "You have studied," and to clarify them for people who know.
Thus do We display Our revelations that they may say (unto thee, Muhammad): "Thou hast studied," and that We may make (it) clear for people who have knowledge
Thus do we turn about the signs, that they may say, 'Thou hast studied,' and that we may explain to those who know
Thus variously do we apply our signs, that they may say, "Thou hast studied deep:" and that to people of understanding we may make them clear
And thus do We explain the Signs in various ways that the truth may become established and that they may say, 'Thou hast read out what thou hast learnt' and that We may explain it to a people who have no knowledge

Follow that which is inspired in thee from thy Lord; there is no Allah save Him; and turn away from the idolaters
Follow what is revealed to thee from thy Lord; there is no god but He, and shun the idolaters
Follow thou that which hath been revealed to thee by thy Lord: there is no god but He! and withdraw from those who join other gods with Him
Follow that which has been revealed to thee from thy Lord; there is no god but He; and turn aside from the idolaters

Do not insult those they call upon besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance. We made attractive to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.
Revile not those unto whom they pray beside Allah lest they wrongfully revile Allah through ignorance. Thus unto every nation have We made their deed seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return, and He will tell them what they used to do
Do not abuse those who call on other than God, for then they may abuse God openly in their ignorance. So do we make seemly to every nation their work, then unto their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they have done
Revile not those whom they call on beside God, lest they, in their ignorance, despitefully revile Him. Thus have we planned out their actions for every people; then shall they return to their Lord, and He will declare to them what those actions have been
And abuse not those whom they call upon besides God, lest they, out of spite, abuse God in their ignorance. Thus unto every people have We caused their doings to seem fair. Then unto their Lord is their return; And He will inform them of what they used to do

They swear by God, with their most solemn oaths, that if a miracle were to come to them, they would believe in it. Say, "The miracles are only with God." But how do you know? Even if it did come, they still would not believe.
And they swear a solemn oath by Allah that if there come unto them a portent they will believe therein. Say; Portents are with Allah and (so is) that which telleth you that if such came unto them they would not believe
They swore by God with their most strenuous oath, that if there come to them a sign they will indeed believe therein. Say, 'Signs are only in God's hands;- but what will make you understand that even when one has come, they will not believe
With their most solemn oath have they sworn by God, that if a sign come unto them they will certainly believe it; SAY: Signs are in the power of God alone; and He teacheth you not thereby, only because when they were wrought, ye did not believe

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 — 0.58 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.
