We sent the messengers only as bearers of good news and as warners. Those who believe and reform have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.

Ne i dërgojmë të dërguarit vetëm si përgëzues dhe paralajmërues. Prandaj, ata që besojnë dhe bëjnë mirë, as do të kenë frikë, as do të pikëllohen.
আর আমি রাসূলদেরকে কেবল সুসংবাদদাতা ও সতর্ককারী হিসেবে প্রেরণ করি। অতএব যারা ঈমান এনেছে ও নিজেকে সংশোধন করে নিয়েছে, তাদের ওপর কোনো ভয় নেই এবং তারা (দুনিয়ার কোন সুবিধা হারানোর জন্য) চিন্তিতও হবে না।

და ჩვენ ვგზავნით მოციქულებს მხოლოდ მახარობლებად და გამაფრთხილებლებად[1]. და ვინც ირწმუნებს და მართალი იქნება — მათზე არ იქნება შიში, და არ იქნებიან ისინი დამწუხრებულნი!
Und Wir senden die Gesandten nur als Verkünder froher Botschaft und als Überbringer von Warnungen. Wer nun glaubt und (sich) bessert), über die soll keine Furcht kommen, noch sollen sie traurig sein.
Δεν στέλνουμε τους Αγγελιαφόρους παρά μόνο ως φορείς χαρμόσυνων ειδήσεων και ως προειδοποιητές. Όποιοι πιστεύουν και διορθώνουν τις πράξεις τους, δε θα υπάρξει φόβος γι' αυτούς (για την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ την Ημέρα της Κρίσεως), ούτε θα λυπηθούν (για οτιδήποτε παραμέλησαν από τις εγκόσμιες απολαύσεις).
और हम रसूलों को केवल इसलिए भेजते हैं कि वे (आज्ञाकारियों को) शुभ सूचना दें तथा (अवज्ञाकारियों को) डराएँ। फिर जो व्यक्ति ईमान ले आए और अपना सुधार कर ले, तो उनपर कोई भय नहीं और न वे शोकाकुल होंगे।
E non inviamo i Messaggeri se non come degli annunciatori e ammonitori, e per quelli che credono e fanno il bene non ci sarà da temere né dovranno mai rattristarsi.

Мы посылаем посланников не иначе как благовестниками и предостерегающими. Те, кто уверовал и стал совершать праведные деяния, — не будет над ними страха, и они не опечалятся.
Ми шаљемо посланике само зато да доносе радосне вести и да опомињу; нека се зато они који верују и чине добра дела ничега не боје и ни за чим нека не тугују.

Biz, peygamberleri yalnız müjdeciler ve uyarıcılar olarak göndeririz. Kim iman edip, salih amel işlerse o kimselere bir korku yoktur ve onlar üzülmeyeceklerdir.
اور ہم پیغمبروں کو صرف اس واسطے بھیجا کرتے ہیں کہ وه بشارت دیں اور ڈرائیں[1] پھر جو ایمان لے آئے اور درستی کرلے سو ان لوگوں پر کوئی اندیشہ نہیں اور نہ وه مغموم ہوں گے۔[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.

Say, "Have you considered? If God took away your hearing and your sight, and set a seal on your hearts, what god other than God would restore them to you?" Note how We explain the revelations in various ways, yet they still turn away.
Say: Have ye imagined, if Allah should take away your hearing and your sight and seal your hearts, Who is the Allah Who could restore it to you save Allah? See how We display the revelations unto them! Yet still they turn away
Say, 'Look you now! if God should catch your hearing and your sight, and should set a seal upon your hearts - who is god but God to bring you it again
SAY: What think ye? If God should take away your hearing and your sight and set a seal upon your hearts, what god beside God would restore them to you? See! how we vary our wondrous verses (signs)! yet they turn away from them

But as for those who reject Our revelations, torment will afflict them because of their defiance.
But as for those who deny Our revelations, torment will afflict them for that they used to disobey
but those who say our signs are lies, torment shall touch them, for that they have done so wrong
But whoso shall charge our signs with falsehood, on them shall fall a punishment for their wicked doings
And those who reject our Signs, punishment will touch them, because they disobeyed

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 — 0.63 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.
