Your Lord knows best who strays from His path, and He knows best the guided ones.

S'ka dyshim se Zoti yt e di më së miri se kush është larguar nga rruga e Tij dhe i di më së miri të udhëzuarit.
নিশ্চয় তোমার রব ভালো করেই জানেন কারা তাঁর পথ থেকে বিচ্যুত হয় এবং তিনি হিদায়াতপ্রাপ্তদের সম্পর্কে অধিক জ্ঞাত ।
Zaista Gospodar tvoj najbolje zna one koji su skrenuli s Njegova puta i On najbolje zna one koji su na Pravom putu.

ჭეშმარიტად, შენი უფალი (ისეთია, რომ) მან უკეთ იცის ისინი, ვინც მისი გზიდან ცდება; და მან უკეთ იცის სწორ გზაზე მავალნიც!
Wahrlich, dein Herr ist wissender (darüber), wer von Seinem Weg abirrt, und Er kennt sehr wohl die Rechtgeleiteten.
Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σου γνωρίζει καλύτερα ποιος παραστρατεί από το δρόμο Του, και γνωρίζει καλύτερα τους καθοδηγημένους.
निःसंदेह आपका पालनहार ही उसे भली-भाँति जानने वाला है, जो उसके मार्ग से भटकता है तथा वही मार्गदर्शन पाने वालों को खूब जानने वाला है।
In verità il tuo Dio conosce meglio chi devia dal Suo sentiero e conosce meglio i ben guidati.

Воистину, твой Господь — Он лучше знает тех, кто сбивается с Его пути, Он лучше знает и следующих верным путём.
Заиста Господар твој најбоље зна оне који су скренули са Његовог пута и Он најбоље зна оне који су на Правом путу.

Din Herre vet mycket väl vilka som avviker från hans väg, och han vet mycket väl vilka som är vägledda.
Doğrusu Rabbin, yolundan kimin saptığını daha iyi bilir. Hidayete ermiş olanları da en iyi O bilir.
بالیقین آپ کا رب ان کو خوب جانتا ہے جو اس کی راه سے بے راه ہوجاتا ہے۔ اور وه ان کو بھی خوب جانتا ہے جو اس کی راه پر چلتے ہیں۔
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 Word of your Lord has been completed, in truth and justice. There is no changing to His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.
Perfected is the Word of thy Lord in truth and justice. There is naught that can change His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower
The words of thy Lord are fulfilled in truth and justice; there is none to change His words, for He both hears and knows
And the words of thy Lord are perfect in truth and in justice: none can change his words: He is the Hearing, Knowing

If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would divert you from God's path. They follow nothing but assumptions, and they only conjecture.
If thou obeyedst most of those on earth they would mislead thee far from Allah's way. They follow naught but an opinion, and they do but guess
But if thou followest most of those who are in the land, they will lead thee astray from the path of God; they only follow suspicion and they only (rest on) conjecture
But if thou obey most men in this land, from the path of God will they mislead thee: they follow but a conceit, and they are only liars
But if thou obey the greater part of them who are in the earth, they will lead thee aside from the path of God: They follow an uncertain opinion only, and speak nothing but lies

Eat then of what God's name has been pronounced over, if ye believe in His signs
Eat of that over which the name of God hath been pronounced, if ye believe in his signs
Eat of that whereon the name of God hath been commemorated, if ye believe in his signs

And why should you not eat of that over which the Name of God is pronounced, when He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are compelled by necessity? Many lead astray with their opinions, through lack of knowledge. Your Lord knows best the transgressors.
How should ye not eat of that over which the name of Allah hath been mentioned, when He hath explained unto you that which is forbidden unto you unless ye are compelled thereto. But lo! many are led astray by their own lusts through ignorance. Lo! thy Lord, He is Best Aware of the transgressors
What ails you that ye do not eat from what God's name is pronounced over, when He has detailed to you what is unlawful for you? Save what ye are forced to; but, verily, many will lead you astray by their fancies, without knowledge. Verily, thy Lord knows best the transgressors
And why eat ye not of that over which the name of God hath been pronounced, since He hath made plain to you what He hath forbidden you, save as to that which is forced upon you? But indeed many mislead others by their appetites, through lack of knowledge. Verily, thy Lord! He best knoweth the transgressors
And why do ye not eat of that whereon the name of God hath been commemorated? Since He hath plainly declared unto you what He had forbidden you; except that which ye be compelled to by necessity eat of: Many lead others into error, because of their appetites, being void of knowledge; but thy Lord well knoweth who are the transgressors

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 — 0.51 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.
