O you who believe! Among your wives and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon, and overlook, and forgive-God is Forgiver and Merciful.

O die ihr glaubt, unter euren Gattinnen und euren Kindern gibt es welche, die euch feind sind; so nehmt euch vor ihnen in Acht. Wenn ihr aber verzeiht, nachsichtig seid und vergebt - so ist Allah fürwahr allvergebend und barmherzig.
Ω, εσείς που πιστεύετε! Στ’ αλήθεια, ανάμεσα στις συζύγους σας και τα παιδιά σας υπάρχουν εχθροί για σας (που μπορεί να σας αποτρέψουν από την υπακοή προς τον Αλλάχ)· έτσι, προσέξτε τους (και μην τους υπακούσετε)! Μα αν παραβλέπετε (τα λάθη τους), δεν τους τιμωρείτε (για αυτά), και (τα) συγχωρείτε (καλύπτοντάς τα), τότε πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι Γαφούρ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί τα πάντα) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).

O credenti! In verità tra le vostre mogli e i vostri figli avete dei nemici: state attenti! E se condonate, e indulgete e perdonate, in verità Allāh sarà Perdonatore, Misericordioso.

О вы, которые уверовали! Воистину, среди ваших жён и ваших детей есть враги для вас — так остерегайтесь же их. Но если вы смилуетесь, оставите без упрёка и простите [их], то, воистину, Аллах — прощающий, милующий.
О ви који верујете, међу вашим супругама и вашом децом, заиста, имате непријатеља, па их се причувајте! А ако преко тога пређете и не корите и опростите, па Аллах, заиста, опрашта грехе и милостив је.

Ey iman edenler! Eşlerinizden ve çocuklarınızdan size düşman olanlar vardır. Onlardan sakının. Eğer affeder, kusurlarına bakmaz ve bağışlarsanız; Allah da bağışlar ve merhamet eder.
اے ایمان والو! تمہاری بعض بیویاں اور بعض بچے تمہارے دشمن ہیں[1] پس ان سے ہوشیار رہنا[2] اور اگر تم معاف کر دو اور درگزر کر جاؤ اور بخش دو تو اللہ تعالیٰ بخشنے واﻻ مہربان 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.

So obey God, and obey the Messenger. But if you turn away-it is only incumbent on Our Messenger to deliver the clear message.
Obey Allah and obey His messenger; but if ye turn away, then the duty of Our messenger is only to convey (the message) plainly
So obey God and obey the Apostle: but if ye turn your backs - our Apostle has only his plain message to preach
Obey God then and obey the apostle: but if ye turn away, our apostle is not to blame, for he is only charged with plain preaching
Wherefore obey God, and obey the apostle; But if ye turn back, verily the duty incumbent on our apostle is only public preaching

The translators word this verse differently
So be conscious of God as much as you can, and listen, and obey, and give for your own good. He who is protected from his stinginess-these are the prosperous.
So keep your duty to Allah as best ye can, and listen, and obey, and spend; that is better for your souls. And whoso is saved from his own greed, such are the successful
Then fear God as much as ye can! and hear, and obey, and expend in alms: it is better for yourselves. But whosoever is saved from his own covetousness - these are the prosperous
Fear God, then, with all your might, and hear and obey: and give alms for your own weal; for such as are saved from their own greed, shall prosper
Wherefore fear God, as much as ye are able; and hear, and obey: And give alms, for the good of your souls; for whoso is preserved from the covetousness of his own soul, they shall prosper

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 — 0.53 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.
