Kjo është prova jonë të cilën ia dhamë Ibrahimit kundër popullit të vet. Ne ngremë në shkallë të larta atë që duam. Me të vërtetë, Zoti yt është i Urtë dhe i Gjithëdijshëm.
আর ওটাই আমার দলিল–প্রমাণ, যা আমি ইবরাহীমকে তার জাতির মোকাবেলার জন্যে দান করেছিলাম। আমি যাকে ইচ্ছা অনেক উঁচু মর্যাদায় উন্নীত করি। নিশ্চয় তোমার রব প্রজ্ঞাবান, সর্বজ্ঞানী।
To je čvrst dokaz Naš koji dadosmo Ibrahimu protiv naroda njegova. Mi na više stepene uzdižemo one koje hoćemo. Gospodar tvoj je, uistinu, mudar i Onaj Koji sve zna.

და ეს არის ჩვენი მტკიცებულება, რომელიც ჩვენ ვუწყალობეთ იბრაჰიმს მისი ხალხის წინააღმდეგ. ჩვენ ხარისხებით ვამაღლებთ მათ, ვისაც ვისურვებთ (ამქვეყნიურ და მარადიულ ცხოვრებაში). ჭეშმარიტად, შენი უფალი ბრძენი, ყოვლისმცოდნეა.
Und dies ist unser Beweismittel, das Wir Ibrahim gegen sein Volk gegeben haben. Wir erhöhen, wen Wir wollen, um Rangstufen. Wahrlich, dein Herr ist allweise und allwissend.
Κι εκείνο ήταν το επιχείρημα που δώσαμε στον Ιμπραήμ (Αβραάμ) έναντι του λαού του. Εμείς εξυψώνουμε σε υψηλές θέσεις αυτούς που θέλουμε. Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σου είναι Χακείμ (Πάνσοφος) και ‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
यह हमारा तर्क है, जो हमने इबराहीम को उसकी जाति के विरुद्ध प्रदान किया। हम जिसे चाहते है, पदों में ऊँचा[58] कर देते हैं। निःसंदेह आपका पालनहार पूर्ण हिकमत वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
E questa è la Nostra prova, che abbiamo dato ad Ibrāhīm contro il suo popolo. Noi eleviamo di gradi chi vogliamo: in verità il tuo Dio è Saggio, Sapiente.
83. Ir tai buvo Mūsų Įrodymas, kurį Mes suteikėme Ibrahimui (Abraomui) prieš jo žmones. Mes išaukštiname tą, ką Mes norime rangais. Be abejonės, jūsų Viešpats yra Visa Išmanantis, Visa Žinantis.
Isheen tun ragaa keenya. Ibraahiimiif ummata isaa irratti kenninee jirra. Nama feene sadarkaawwan keessatti ol fuuna. Dhugumatti, Gooftaan kee ogeessa, beekaadha.
Это — Наш довод, который Мы даровали Ибрахиму в споре с его народом. Мы возвышаем степенями тех, кого пожелаем. Воистину, твой Господь — Мудрый, Знающий.
То је Наш чврст доказ који смо дали Авраму против његовог народа. Ми на више степене уздижемо оне које хоћемо. Твој Господар је, уистину, мудар и све зна.
Na hizo ndizo hoja zetu tulizompa Ibrahim dhidi ya kaumu yake. Tunamnyanyua tumtakaye daraja mbalimbali. Hakika Mola wako Mlezi ni Mwenye hekima, Mwenye kujua yote.
Detta är vårt avgörande argument som vi gav Abraham mot hans folk. Vi upphöjer i grader den vi vill. Din Herre är sannerligen vis, allvetande.
İşte bu, kavmine karşı İbrahim’e verdiğimiz delilimizdir. Biz, dilediğimiz kimselerin derecelerini yükseltiriz. O, Hakim ve her şeyi bilendir.
اور یہ ہماری حجت تھی وه ہم نے ابراہیم[1] (علیہ السلام) کو ان کی قوم کے مقابلے میں دی تھی ہم جس کو چاہتے ہیں مرتبوں میں بڑھا دیتے ہیں۔ بےشک آپ کا رب بڑا حکمت واﻻ بڑا علم واﻻ ہے۔
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.

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.
