The translators word this verse differently
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.
Those are they whom God has guided, so follow their guidance. Say, "I ask of you no compensation for it; it is just a reminder for all mankind."

ესენი არიან ისინი, ვინც ალლაჰმა სწორ გზაზე დააყენა, ამიტომ მათ ხელმძღვანელობას მიჰყევი. თქვი: «არ ვითხოვ თქვენგან ამისთვის [ალლაჰის თაყვანისცემისკენ მოწოდებისთვის] არანაირ საზღაურს; ჩემი საზღაური მხოლოდ ალლაჰთანაა. ეს [ყურანი] მხოლოდ შეხსენებაა სამყაროთათვის».
Jene sind es, die Allah rechtgeleitet hat. So folge ihrer Rechtleitung (und nimm sie zum Vorbild)! Sag: „Ich verlange von euch keinen Lohn dafür. Es ist nur eine Ermahnung für die Weltenbewohner.“
Εκείνοι (οι προφήτες) είναι αυτοί που τους καθοδήγησε ο Αλλάχ. Έτσι, ακολούθησε (ω, Προφήτη) την καθοδήγησή τους. Πες (ω, Προφήτη, στον λαό σου): «Δεν σας ζητάω καμία ανταμοιβή γι' αυτό (το Κορ’άν που μεταδίδω σ' εσάς). Πράγματι, αυτό (το Κορ’άν) δεν είναι παρά μια υπενθύμιση (και νουθεσία) για όλους τους κόσμους.»
यही वे लोग हैं, जिन्हें अल्लाह ने मार्गदर्शन प्रदान किया, तो आप उनके मार्गदर्शन का अनुसरण करें। आप कह दें : मैं इस (कार्य) पर[60] तुमसे कोई बदला नहीं माँगता। यह तो सारे संसारों के लिए एक उपदेश के सिवा कुछ नहीं।
Loro sono quelli che Allāh ha guidato: segui la loro guida. Di’: «Non vi chiedo una ricompensa per questo, è solo un monito ai Mondi».

Это те, кого Аллах наставил на верный путь, так следуй же их прямым путём. Скажи: «Я не прошу у вас никакого вознаграждения за это. Это — не иначе как напоминание для миров».
Њих је Аллах упутио, и зато следи њихов пут. Реци: „Ја од вас не тражим награду за Кур'ан, он је само поука световима.“
Hao ndio ambao Mwenyezi Mungu amewaongoa. Basi fuata uongofu wao. Sema: Mimi siwaombi ujira wowote juu yake. Haya si isipokuwa ni ukumbusho kwa walimwengu wote.
Dessa är de som Gud har väglett – så följ deras vägledning! Säg: ”Jag begär ingen ersättning av er för detta; det är endast en påminnelse till alla folk.”
İşte bunlar Allah’ın hidâyet ettiği kimselerdir. O halde sen de onların hidâyetlerine uy. De ki: “Ben buna karşılık sizden bir ücret istemiyorum. Bu (Kur'an) âlemlere bir öğütten başka bir şey değildir.”
یہی لوگ ایسے تھے جن کو اللہ تعالیٰ نے ہدایت کی تھی، سو آپ بھی ان ہی کے طریق پر چلیئے[1] آپ کہہ دیجیئے کہ میں تم سے اس پر کوئی معاوضہ نہیں چاہتا[2] یہ تو صرف تمام جہان والوں کے واسطے ایک نصیحت ہے۔[3]
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 translators word this verse differently
Such is God's guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain.
Such is the guidance of Allah wherewith He guideth whom He will of His bondmen. But if they had set up (for worship) aught beside Him, (all) that they did would have been vain
That is God's guidance; He guides those whom He will of His servants; and if they associate aught with Him,- vain is that which they have worked
This is God's guidance: He guideth by it such of his servants as he will: But if they join others god with Him, vain assuredly shall be all their works
That is the guidance of God. He guides thereby those of His servants whom He pleases. And if they had worshiped aught beside Him, surely all they did would have been of no avail to them

Those are they unto whom We gave the Scripture and command and prophethood. But if these disbelieve therein, then indeed We shall entrust it to a people who will not be disbelievers therein

They do not value God as He should be valued, when they say, "God did not reveal anything to any human being." Say, "Who revealed the Scripture which Moses brought-a light and guidance for humanity?" You put it on scrolls, displaying them, yet concealing much. And you were taught what you did not know-neither you, nor your ancestors. Say, "God;" then leave them toying away in their speculation.
And they measure not the power of Allah its true measure when they say: Allah hath naught revealed unto a human being. Say (unto the Jews who speak thus): Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance for mankind, which ye have put on parchments which ye show, but ye hide much (thereof), and (by which) ye were taught that which ye knew not yourselves nor (did) your fathers (know it)? Say: Allah. Then leave them to their play of cavilling
They do not prize God at His true worth when they say, 'God has never revealed to mortal anything.' Say, 'Who revealed the Book wherewith Moses came, a light and a guidance unto men? Ye put it on papers which ye show, though ye hide much; and ye are taught what ye knew not, neither you nor your fathers.' Say, 'God,' then leave them in their discussion to play
No just estimate do they form of God when they say, "Nothing hath God sent down to man." SAY: Who sent down the Book which Moses brought, a light and guidance to man, which ye set down on paper, publishing part, but concealing most: though ye have now been taught that which neither ye nor your fathers knew? SAY: It is God: then leave them in their pastime of cavillings
And they do not make a just estimate of the attributes of God, when they say, 'God has not revealed anything to any man. Say, 'Who revealed the Book which Moses brought, a light and a guidance for the people -- though you treat it as scrapes of paper, some of which you show while you hide much thereof and you have been taught that which neither you nor your fathers knew?' Say, 'God.' Then leave them to amuse themselves with idle talk

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 — 0.65 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.
