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.
And who is a greater wrongdoer than he who attributes falsehoods to God, when he is being invited to Islam? God does not guide the wrongdoing people.

E kush është më i padrejtë se ai që trillon gënjeshtra për Allahun, ndërkohë që i bëhet thirrje për të hyrë në Islam?! Allahu nuk i udhëzon njerëzit e padrejtë.
যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহর প্রতি মিথ্যা আরোপ করে, অথচ তাকে ইসলামের দিকে আহ্বান করা হচ্ছে, তার চেয়ে বড় জালিম আর কে হতে পারে? আর আল্লাহ জালিম সম্প্রদায়কে হিদায়াত দেন না।
A ima li nepravednijeg od onoga koji o Allahu laži iznosi dok se u islam poziva? – A Allah neće ukazati na Pravi put narodu koji nepravdu čini.
A ima li većeg nepravednika od onoga koji o Allahu laži iznosi dok se u islam poziva?! A Allah neće uputiti narod nepravedni.
Alah ɓurɗa tooñde oon pekandiiɗo e dow Alla te hombo noddee e islaam, Alla feewnata tooñooɓe.
და ვინ არის იმაზე უსამართლო, ვინც ალლაჰზე სიცრუეს თხზავს, მაშინ, როცა მას ისლამისკენ მოუწოდებენ? და ალლაჰი არ დაადგენს ჭეშმარიტ გზაზე უსამართლო ხალხს.
Und wer ist ungerechter, als wer gegen Allah Lügen ersinnt, während er zum Islam aufgerufen wird? Und Allah leitet das Volk der Ungerechten nicht recht.
Και ποιος είναι πιο άδικος απ' αυτόν που μηχανεύεται ψεύδη για τον Αλλάχ (αποδίδοντας στον Αλλάχ εταίρους στη λατρεία), ενώ καλείται στο Ισλάμ; Και ο Αλλάχ δεν καθοδηγεί τον άδικο λαό.
और उससे अधिक अत्याचारी कौन है, जो अल्लाह पर झूठ गढ़े, जबकि उसे इस्लाम की ओर बुलाया जा रहा हो? और अल्लाह अत्याचारी लोगों को मार्गदर्शन नहीं देता।
E chi è più ingiusto di chi, consciamente, attribuisce ad Allāh cose false, ed è invitato all’Islam? E Allāh non guida il popolo ingiusto.
7. Ir kas yra neteisingesnis nei tas, kuris kuria melą apie Allahą, kai yra kviečiamas į islamą. Ir Allahas neveda teisingai neteisingų žmonių.
odoo gara Islaamaa waamamuu Nama Rabbi irratti kijiba uumee odeesse caalaa namni miidhaa hojjate eenyu?(hinjiru). Rabbiin ummata miidhaa raawwattoota hin qajeelchu.
И кто же несправедливее того, кто возвёл на Аллаха ложь, когда его призывают к исламу? Воистину, Аллах не наставляет на верный путь несправедливый народ.
А има ли већег насилника од онога који о Аллаху износи лажи док се у ислам позива?! А Аллах неће да упути народ који неправду чини.
Na ni nani mwenye kudhulumu zaidi kuliko yule anayemzulia Mwenyezi Mungu uongo, naye anaitwa kwenye Uislamu? Na Mwenyezi Mungu hawaongoi watu madhalimu.
Vem är mer orättfärdig än den som ljuger om Gud när han kallas till islam? Gud vägleder inte orättfärdiga människor.
İslam'a davet edildiği halde, Allah hakkında yalan uydurandan daha zalim kim olabilir? Allah zalim topluma hidayet etmez.
اس شخص سے زیاده ﻇالم اور کون ہوگا جو اللہ پر جھوٹ (افترا) باندھے[1] حاﻻنکہ وه اسلام کی طرف بلایا جاتا ہے[2] اور اللہ ایسے ﻇالموں کو ہدایت نہیں کرتا.
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.

When Moses said to his people, "O my people, why do you hurt me, although you know that I am God's Messenger to you?" And when they swerved, God swerved their hearts. God does not guide the sinful people.
And (remember) when Moses said unto his people: O my people! Why persecute ye me, when ye well know that I am Allah's messenger unto you? So when they went astray Allah sent their hearts astray. And Allah guideth not the evil-living folk
When Moses said to his people, 'O my people! why do ye hurt me, when ye know that I am the apostle of God to you?' and when they swerved, God made their hearts to swerve; for God guides not the people who work abomination
And bear in mind when Moses said to his people, "Why grieve ye me, O my people, when ye know that I am God's apostle unto you?" And when they went astray, God led their hearts astray; for God guideth not a perverse people

And when Jesus son of Mary said, "O Children of Israel, I am God's Messenger to you, confirming what preceded me of the Torah, and announcing good news of a messenger who will come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he showed them the miracles, they said, "This is obvious sorcery."

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 — 0.59 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.
