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.
Or who is this who is a force for you to protect you against the Compassionate? The disbelievers are in nothing but delusion.

E cila na qenka ajo ushtri që mund t'ju mbrojë prej të Gjithëmëshirshmit?! Në të vërtetë, jobesimtarët gjenden në mashtrim.
(আল্লাহ যদি তোমাদেরকে শাস্তি দিতে চান) পরম করুণাময় ছাড়া এমন কে আছে, যে তোমাদের জন্য সৈন্যবাহিনী হয়ে তোমাদের সাহায্য করবে? কাফিররা তো কেবল প্রতারণার মধ্যেই নিমজ্জিত।
I, ko je taj koji će biti vojska vaša i vama pomoći, osim Svemilosnog?! Ništa osim obmane nevjernici nemaju!
I, tko je taj koji će biti vojska vaša i vama pomoći, osim Svemilosnog?! Ništa osim obmane nevjernici nemaju!
E ko hommbo woni on konuujo mum wallata on hara wonaa Jom hinaraŋke on? Tigi on, he'eferɓe ɓeen ngonaani si wonaa e ndeer hodo.
ან ვინ არის ის, ვინც თქვენთვის ჯარია და ვინც დაგეხმარებათ (ჯოჯოხეთის სასჯელის თავიდან აცილებაში), გარდა მოწყალესი? ჭეშმარიტად, ურწმუნოები (რომლებსაც ჰგონიათ, თითქოს მათი კერპები დაეხმარებიან) მხოლოდ ცდომილებაში არიან!
Oder wer ist denn dieser, der euch eine Heerschar wäre, die euch unterstützen (sollte) außer dem Allerbarmer? Die Ungläubigen befinden sich ja nur im Trug.
Ποιος είναι αυτός, που μπορεί να είναι στρατός (υποστηρικτές και προστάτες) για σας, που θα σας υποστηρίξει (όπως ισχυρίζεστε) εκτός από τον Αρ-Ραχμάν (Παντελεήμονα) (αν θέλει ο Αλλάχ να σας τιμωρήσει); Στ’ αλήθεια, οι άπιστοι δε βρίσκονται παρά σε πλάνη.
या वह कौन है जो तुम्हारी सेना बनकर अल्लाह के विरुद्ध तुम्हारी सहायता करे? इनकार करने वाले तो मात्र धोखे में पड़े हैं।
O chi è un esercito in grado di soccorrervi all’infuori del Misericordioso? Certo i miscredenti sono illusi!
20. Arba kas galėtų būti jūsų armija, kad padėtų jums, jei ne Maloningiausiasis? Netikintieji yra ne kur kitur, bet apgaulėje.
Sila innin sun ka Rahmaaniin achitti waraanaa isiniif ta'ee isinii tumsuu eenyuma? Kaafiroonni gowwummaa keessatti malee hintaane.[3]
Кто же это ваше воинство, которое поможет вам помимо Всемилостивого? Воистину, отвергшие веру пребывают лишь в самообольщении.
И, ко је тај који ће да буде ваша војска и да вам помогне, осим Свемилосног?! Неверници су само обманути!
Au ni lipi hilo jeshi lenu la kukunusuruni badala ya Mwingi wa Rehema? Hakika makafiri hawamo ila katika udanganyifu.
Vem är den [som skulle kunna vara som en] krigshär för er, som kan skydda er mot den Nåderikes [straff]? Nej, de otrogna är bedragna [av sina egna föreställningar].
Rahman olan Allah'a karşı şu size yardım edecek askerleriniz hani kimlerdir? Kâfirler ancak boş bir gurur/aldanış içindedirler.
سوائے اللہ کے تمہارا وه کون سا لشکر ہے جو تمہاری مدد کرسکے[1] کافر تو سراسر دھوکے ہی میں ہیں.[2]
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.

Those before them also denied the truth; and how was My disapproval?
And verily those before them denied, then (see) the manner of My wrath (with them)
But those before them did call the apostles liars, and what a change it was
And verily, those who flourish before you treated their prophets as liars: and how grievous my wrath
Those also who were before you disbelieved; and how grievous was my displeasure

Have they not seen the birds above them, spreading their wings, and folding them? None holds them except the Compassionate. He is Perceiver of everything.
Have they not seen the birds above them spreading out their wings and closing them? Naught upholdeth them save the Beneficent. Lo! He is Seer of all things
Or have they not looked at the birds above them expanding their wings or closing them? - none holds them in except the Merciful One; for He on everything doth look
Behold they not the birds over their heads, outstretching and drawing in their wings? None, save the God of Mercy, upholdeth them: for he regardeth all things
Do they not behold the birds above them, extending and drawing back their wings? None sustaineth them, except the Merciful; for He regardeth all things

Or who is this that will provide for you, if He withholds His provision? Yet they persist in defiance and aversion.
Or who is he that will provide for you if He should withhold His providence? Nay, but they are set in pride and frowardness
Or who is this who will provide you if He hold back His provision? - Nay, but they persist in perverseness and aversion
Or who is he that will furnish you supplies, if He withhold His supplies? Yet do they persist in pride and in fleeing from Him

Is he who walks bent on his own design better guided, or he who walks upright on a straight path?
Is he who goeth groping on his face more rightly guided, or he who walketh upright on a straight road

Is he who goeth along grovelling on his face, better guided than he who goeth upright on a straight path

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.
