Allahu ka përgatitur për ta dënim të rëndë. Prandaj, kini frikë Allahun, o njerëz të mençur që keni besuar! Allahu jua dërgoi këshilluesin:
(আখিরাতে) আল্লাহ তাদের জন্য কঠিন শাস্তি প্রস্তুত করে রেখেছেন। সুতরাং তোমরা আল্লাহকে ভয় কর, হে বুদ্ধিসম্পন্ন লোকেরা! তোমরা যারা ঈমান এনেছ! নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ তোমাদের প্রতি নাযিল করেছেন এক উপদেশ।
Allah je za njih bolnu patnju pripremio; zato se bojte Allaha, o vi koji ste razumom obdareni, vi koji vjerujete! Allah vam je već spustio Opomenu
Allah je za njih bolnu patnju pripremio, zato se bojte Allaha, o vi koji ste razumom obdareni, vi koji vjerujete! Allah vam je već spustio Opomenu

ალლაჰმა მათთვის მკაცრი სასჯელი მოამზადა. მაშ, გეშინოდეთ ალლაჰის, გონიერნო, რომელთაც ირწმუნეთ! ალლაჰმა უკვე გარდმოგივლინათ შეგონება.
Allah hat für sie eine strenge Strafe bereitet. So fürchtet Allah, o die ihr Verstand besitzt und die ihr glaubt. Allah hat ja bereits zu euch eine Ermahnung (als Offenbarung) hinabgesandt,
Ο Αλλάχ έχει προετοιμάσει γι’ αυτούς ένα αυστηρό μαρτύριο. Φυλαχθείτε, λοιπόν, από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του), ω, εσείς που έχετε νου, και έχετε πιστέψει! Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ έχει, στείλει κάτω σ’ εσάς μία Υπενθύμιση.
अल्लाह ने उनके लिए भीषण यातना तैयार कर रखी है। अतः, ऐ समझ वालो, जो ईमान लाए हो, अल्लाह से डरो! निश्चय अल्लाह ने तुम्हारी ओर महान उपदेश उतारा है।
Allāh ha riservato loro una dura sofferenza. Temete Allāh, o voi che avete intelletto, che avete creduto: Allāh ha fatto scendere su di voi un Monito.
10. Allahas paruošė jiems sunkią bausmę. Tad bijokite Allaho ir vykdykite prievoles Jam, jūs, suvokiantieji, kurie patikėjote! Allahas nuleido jums Priminimą (šį Koraną).
Rabbiin azaaba cimaa isaaniif qopheesse. Yaa warri aqliiwwan qabdan, warri amantan Rabbiin sodaadhaa. Dhugumatti Rabbiin gara keessanitti gorsa buuseera.
Аллах уготовил для них суровое наказание. Так побойтесь же Аллаха, о вы, обладатели разума, которые уверовали! Аллах уже ниспослал вам Напоминание —
Аллах је за њих припремио болну патњу; зато се бојте Аллаха, о ви који сте разумом обдарени, ви који верујете! Аллах вам је већ спустио Опомену,
Mwenyezi Mungu aliwaandalia adhabu kali. Basi mcheni Mwenyezi Mungu, enyi wenye akili, mlioamini! Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu amekuteremshieni Ukumbusho.
Gud har ett strängt straff i beredskap för dem – så frukta Gud, ni med förstånd och tro! Gud har sänt er en påminnelse;
Allah onlar için çok şiddetli bir azap hazırlamıştır. Ey iman etmiş akıl sahipleri –o halde- Allah’tan korkun, gerçek şu ki Allah size bir zikir indirmiştir.
ان کے لیے اللہ تعالیٰ نے سخت عذاب تیار کر رکھا ہے، پس اللہ سے ڈرو اے عقل مند ایمان والو۔ یقیناً اللہ نے تمہاری طرف نصیحت اتار دی 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.
shown so it's never read alone

How many a town defied the command of its Lord and His messengers? So We held it strictly accountable, and We punished it with a dreadful punishment.
And how many a community revolted against the ordinance of its Lord and His messengers, and We called it to a stern account and punished it with dire punishment
How many a city has turned away from the bidding of its Lord and His apostles; and we called them to a severe account, and we tormented them with an unheard-of torment
How many cities have turned aside from the command of their Lord and of his apostles! Therefore did we reckon with them in a severe reckoning, and chastised them with a stern chastisement

It tasted the result of its decisions, and the outcome of its decisions was perdition.
So that it tasted the ill-effects of its conduct, and the consequence of its conduct was loss
And they tasted the evil results of their conduct; and the end of their conduct was loss
And they tasted the harmfulness of their own conduct: and the end of their conduct was ruin
And they tasted the evil consequence of their business; and the end of their business was perdition

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 — 0.68 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.
