Kujto kur Ibrahimi i tha babait të vet, Azerit: "Vallë, idhujt po i merr për hyjni?! Unë po e shoh se ti dhe populli yt jeni në një humbje të qartë."
আর যখন ইবরাহীম তার পিতা আযরকে বলেছিল: ‘তুমি কি মূর্তিগুলোকে ইলাহরূপে গ্রহণ করছ? নিশ্চয় আমি তোমাকে এবং তোমার সম্প্রদায়কে স্পষ্ট গোমরাহীতে দেখছি।’
A kad Ibrahim reče ocu svome Azeru: "Zar kumire smatraš bogovima?! Uistinu, vidim da ste i ti i narod tvoj u očitoj zabludi."
A kad Abraham reče ocu svome Azeru[1]: "Zar kumire smatraš bogovima?! Uistinu, vidim da ste i ti i narod tvoj u očitoj zabludi."
Jaŋto] tuma nde Ibraa hiima maakannoo ben makko Aazara: "Ea jogitoto sanamuuji deweteeɗi?" Pellet, min miɗo yi'e an e yimɓe maa ɓen,e ndeer majjere ɓanngunde!".(feeñnd)
۞ და აი, უთხრა იბრაჰიმმა თავის მამას აზარს: «ნუთუ შენ კერპებს იღებ ღმერთებად (რომლებსაც არ შეუძლიათ არც სარგებლის მოტანა და არც ზიანის მიყენება)? მე ვხედავ, რომ შენ (ო, მამაჩემო) და შენი ხალხი აშკარა გზასაცდენაში ხართ».
Und (gedenke,) als Ibrahim zu seinem Vater Azar sagte: „Nimmst du (denn) Götzenbilder zu Angebeteten? Wahrlich, ich sehe dich und dein Volk in deutlichem Irrtum.“
Και (ανάφερε, ω, Προφήτη) όταν ο Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ) είπε στον πατέρα του, Άζαρ: «Παίρνεις τα είδωλα για θεούς; Βλέπω ότι εσύ και ο λαός σου βρίσκεστε σε ξεκάθαρη πλάνη (μακριά από την αλήθεια).»
तथा जब इबराहीम ने अपने पिता आज़र से कहा : क्या आप मूर्तियों को पूज्य बनाते हो? निःसंदेह मैं आपको तथा आपकी जाति को खुली पथभ्रष्टता में देखता हूँ।
E quando Ibrāhīm disse a suo padre Āzar: «Ti prendi gli idoli per divinità? Ti vedo, insieme al tuo popolo, in chiara perdizione!»
74. Ir (atminkite), kai Ibrahimas (Abraomas) sakė savo tėvui Azarui: „Ar laikai stabus kaip alihah (dievybėmis)? Iš tiesų, aš matau, kad tu ir tavo žmonės yra akivaizdžiai paklydę.“
(Yaadadhu) Yeroo Ibraahiim abbaa isaa Aazariin jedhe "sila ati taabotowwan gabbaramtoota godhattaa? ani siifi ummata kee jallina mul'ataa keessattiin arga".
И вот Ибрахим сказал своему отцу, Азару: «Неужели ты принимаешь идолов за богов? Воистину, я вижу тебя и твой народ в явном заблуждении».
А кад Аврам рече своме оцу Тераху: „Зар кипове сматраш боговима?! Уистину, видим да сте и ти и твој народ у очигледној заблуди.“
Na pale Ibrahim alipomwambia baba yake, Azar: Unayafanya masanamu kuwa ni miungu? Hakika mimi nakuona wewe na watu wako mko katika upotovu ulio wazi.
Och minns när Abraham sa till sin far Āzar: ”Har du gjort statyer till dina gudar? Jag ser tydligt att du och ditt folk befinner er i uppenbar villfarelse.”
Hani İbrahim, babası Âzer’e: “Sen putları ilâh mı ediniyorsun? Şüphesiz, ben seni de, kavmini de apaçık bir sapıklık içinde görüyorum.” demişti.
اور وه وقت بھی یاد کرنے کے قابل ہے جب ابراہیم (علیہ السلام) نے اپنے باپ آزر[1] سے فرمایا کہ کیا تو بتوں کو معبود قرار دیتا ہے؟ بےشک میں تجھ کو اور تیری ساری قوم کو صریح گمراہی میں دیکھتا ہوں۔
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.

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 — 0.44 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.
