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.
If Allah touch thee with affliction, there is none that can relieve therefrom save Him, and if He touch thee with good fortune (there is none that can impair it); for He is Able to do all things

Nëse nga Allahu të godet ndonjë fatkeqësi, atëherë nuk do të mund të ta largojë atë askush përveç Tij, e, nëse të dhuron ndonjë mirësi, atëherë Ai është i Plotfuqishëm për çdo gjë.
আর আল্লাহ তোমাকে যদি কোন দুঃখ- দুর্দশায় ফেলেন, তবে তিনি ছাড়া তা দূরকারী কেউ নেই। আর তিনি যদি তোমাকে কোন কল্যাণ দান করেন, তবে তিনিই তো সব কিছুর ওপর ক্ষমতাবান।
Ako te Allah nekom nevoljom pogodi – pa, niko je osim Njega ne može otkloniti; a ako ti kakvo dobro podari – pa, On nad svime ima moć.
Ako te Allah nekom nevoljom pogodi – pa, nitko je osim Njega ne može otkloniti; a ako ti kakvo dobro podari – pa, On nad svime ima moć.
Si Alla memnii ma lorra, kuñcoowo ka alaa si wanaa Kaŋko. Si o memnii ma kadi moƴƴere, Kaŋko e dow kala huunde ko o kattanɗo.
და თუ ალლაჰი შეგეხება შენ (ო, ადამიანო) ზიანით [გასაჭირით, სიღარიბით, ავადმყოფობით…], მაშინ არ არსებობს მისი მომხსნელი მის გარდა. ხოლო თუ ის შეგეხება სიკეთით [სიმდიდრით, ჯანმრთელობით…], მაშინ (მხოლოდ) იგია ყოვლისშემძლე ყველაფერზე.
Und wenn Allah dir ein Unheil widerfahren lässt, dann gibt es keinen Hinwegnehmer außer Ihm. Und wenn Er dir (etwas) Gutes widerfahren lässt, – so hat Er zu allem die Macht.
(Ω, άνθρωπε) εάν ο Αλλάχ σε πλήττει με κάτι που σε βλάπτει, δεν υπάρχει κανείς που μπορεί να το αφαιρέσει παρά μόνο Αυτός. Και αν σου χαρίσει κάτι καλό, πράγματι, είναι στα πάντα Ικανός.
यदि अल्लाह तुझे कोई हानि पहुँचाए, तो उसके सिवा कोई उसे दूर करने वाला नहीं, और यदि वह तुझे कोई भलाई पहुँचाए, तो वह हर चीज़ पर सर्वशक्तिमान है।
E se Allāh ti colpisse con un male, nessuno lo potrà togliere via da te all’infuori di Lui, e se ti dovesse concedere una grazia, sappi che Lui è Onnipotente,
17. Ir jei Allahas pakenkia jums žala, niekas negali jos pašalinti, išskyrus Jį, ir jei Jis palytėja jus su gėriu, tada Jis yra Galintis padaryti viską.
Yoo Rabbiin miidhaan si tuqe, Isa malee deemsisaan isaaf hin jiru. Yoo toltuudhaan si tuqe, Inni waan hunda irratti danda’aadha.
И если Аллах коснётся тебя бедствием, то нет избавителя от него, кроме Него. А если Он коснётся тебя благом, то Он всемогущ над всем сущим.
Ако те Аллах неком невољом погоди - па, нико осим Њега не може да је отклони; а ако ти какво добро подари - па, Он над свиме има моћ.
Na ikiwa Mwenyezi Mungu atakugusa kwa madhara, basi hapana wa kuyaondoa isipokuwa Yeye. Na ikiwa atakugusa kwa heri, basi Yeye ndiye Muweza wa kila kitu.
Om Gud låter en olycka drabba dig, finns ingen som kan avvärja den utom han. Och om han låter något gott nå dig, är han den som har makt över allt.
Allah sana bir zarar dokundursa, onu yine kendisinden başka giderecek yoktur ve eğer sana bir hayır dokundursa, kuşkusuz O, her şeye kadirdir.
اور اگر تجھ کو اللہ تعالیٰ کوئی تکلیف پہنچائے تو اس کا دور کرنے واﻻ سوائے اللہ تعالیٰ کے اور کوئی نہیں۔ اور اگر تجھ کو اللہ تعالیٰ کوئی نفع پہنچائے تو وه ہر چیز پر پوری قدرت رکھنے واﻻ ہے۔[1]
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.

Whoever is spared on that Day-He had mercy on him. That is the clear victory.
He from whom (such retribution) is averted on that day, (Allah) hath in truth had mercy on him. That will be the signal triumph
Whomsoever it is averted from on that day, God will have had mercy on; and that is obvious happiness
From whomsoever it shall be averted on that day, He will have had mercy on him: and this will be the manifest bliss
He from whom it is averted on that day, God indeed has had mercy on him. And that indeed is a manifest achievement

Say (O Muhammad): What thing is of most weight in testimony? Say: Allah is Witness between me and you. And this Qur'an hath been inspired in me, that I may warn therewith you and whomsoever it may reach. Do ye in sooth bear witness that there are gods beside Allah? Say: I bear no such witness.

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 — 0.62 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.
