And when it is said to them, "Come, the Messenger of God will ask forgiveness for you," they bend their heads, and you see them turning away arrogantly.

আর এ সব মুনাফিককে যখন বলা হয়, ‘এসো, আল্লাহর রাসূল তোমাদের (প্রকাশিত অপরাধের) জন্য ক্ষমা প্রার্থনা করবেন’, তখন তারা অবজ্ঞাভরে তাদের মাথা ঘুরিয়ে নেয়। আর তুমি তাদেরকে দেখতে পাবে, তারা অহংকারভরে বিমুখ হয়ে আছে।

და როცა მათ [თვალთმაქცებს] ეუბნებიან: «მოდით, რათა ალლაჰის შუამავალმა თქვენთვის შენდობა ითხოვოს», ისინი თავს ატრიალებენ (აჩვენებენ, რომ ეს მათ არ სჭირდებათ), და შენ ხედავ, როგორ შორდებიან ისინი, და ამპარტავნებას ავლენენ.
Und wenn zu ihnen gesagt wird: „Kommt her, damit der Gesandte Allahs für euch um Vergebung bittet“, drehen sie ihre Köpfe zur Seite, und du siehst sie sich hochmütig abwenden.
Κι όταν ειπωθεί σ’ αυτούς: «Ελάτε (μετανιωμένοι), ώστε ο Αγγελιαφόρος του Αλλάχ να ζητήσει συγχώρεση (από τον Αλλάχ) για σας.», αυτοί στρέφουν τα κεφάλια τους, και τους βλέπεις (ω, Προφήτη) να απομακρύνονται (από σένα) ενώ είναι αλαζόνες.
और जब उनसे कहा जाए : आओ, अल्लाह के रसूल तुम्हारे लिए क्षमा की प्रार्थना करें, तो वे अपने सिर फेर लेते हैं। तथा आप उन्हें देखेंगे कि वे अभिमान करते हुए विमुख हो जाते हैं।
E quando viene detto loro: «Venite, così che il Profeta di Allāh possa chiedere perdono per voi», li vedi che girano le teste sdegnati e si allontanano insuperbiti.

Когда им говорят: «Придите, чтобы Посланник Аллаха попросил для вас прощения», они отворачивают свои головы, и ты видишь, как они отвращаются, превозносясь.
А кад им буде речено: “Дођите, Аллахов Посланик ће да моли да вам се опрости!” Они својим главама тресу и видиш их како охоло одбијају.
Na wanapoambiwa: Njooni ili Mtume wa Mwenyezi Mungu akuombeeni maghfira, huvigeuza vichwa vyao, na unawaona wanageuka nao wamejaa kiburi.
När de uppmanas: ”Kom, så att Guds sändebud må be om förlåtelse för er”, vrider de [föraktfullt] bort sina huvuden, och du ser hur de drar sig undan i högmod.
Onlara: "Gelin, Allah'ın Rasûlü sizin için mağfiret dilesin." denildiği zaman başlarını çevirirler ve sen onların büyüklük taslayarak yüz çevirdiklerini görürsün.

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.

That is because they believed and then disbelieved, wherefore is a stamp set on their hearts so that they do not understand
This, for that they believed, then became unbelievers!Therefore hath a seal been set upon their hearts, and they understand not

The translators word this verse differently
When you see them, their appearance impresses you. And when they speak, you listen to what they say. They are like propped-up timber. They think every shout is aimed at them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. God condemns them; how deluded they are!
And when thou seest them their figures please thee; and if they speak thou givest ear unto their speech. (They are) as though they were blocks of wood in striped cloaks. They deem every shout to be against them. They are the enemy, so beware of them. Allah confound them! How they are perverted
And when thou seest them, their persons please thee; but if they speak, thou listenest to their speech: they are like timber propped up: they reckon every noise against them! They are the foe, so beware of them!- God fight against them, how they lie
When thou seest them, their persons make thee marvel; and if they speak, thou listenest with pleasure to their discourse. Like timbers are they leaning against a wall! They think that every shout is against them. They are enemies - Beware of them then - God do battle with them! How false are they
When thou beholdest them, their persons please thee: And if they speak, thou hearest their discourse with delight. They resemble pieces of timber set up against a wall. They imagine every shout to be against them. They are enemies; wherefore beware of them. God curse them: How are they turned aside from the truth
63:5 — the verse above
سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَن يَغْفِرَ ٱللَّهُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يَهْدِى ٱلْقَوْمَ ٱلْفَٰسِقِينَ

It is the same for them, whether you ask forgiveness for them, or do not ask forgiveness for them; God will not forgive them. God does not guide the sinful people.
Whether thou ask forgiveness for them or ask not forgiveness for them is all one for them; Allah will not forgive them. Lo! Allah guideth not the evil-living folk
It is the same to them whether thou dost ask forgiveness for them, or whether thou dost not ask forgiveness for them,- God will not forgive them; verily, God guides not a people who work abomination
Alike shall it be to them whether thou ask forgiveness for them, or ask it not. By no means will God forgive them: God hath no guidance for a perverse people
It shall be equal unto them, whether thou ask pardon for them, or do not ask pardon for them; God will by no means forgive them: For God directeth not the prevaricating people

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 — 0.48 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.
