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.
So the truth came to pass, and what they were producing came to nothing.

Kështu pra, doli në shesh e vërteta dhe u asgjësua ajo që bënë ata.
অবশেষে সত্য প্রকাশ হয়ে গেল এবং তারা যা কিছু করছিল, তা বাতিল হয়ে গেল।
I tako istina na vidjelo izbi i pokaza se da je bilo lažno ono što su oni priredili,
I tako istina na vidjelo izbi i pokaza se da je bilo lažno ono što su oni priredili,
Goonga on feeñi, ko ɓe ngollaynoo kon [fof] boni.
და გამოჩნდა ჭეშმარიტება (დამსწრეთათვის), და გამოაშკარავდა სიცრუე იმისა, რასაც ისინი [ჯადოქრები] აკეთებდნენ.
So bestätigte sich die Wahrheit, und zunichte wurde das, was sie zu tun pflegten.
Έτσι κυριάρχησε η αλήθεια και φάνηκε ότι ό,τι έκαναν ήταν μάταιο.
अतः सत्य सामने आ गया और जो कुछ वे कर रहे थे, असत्य[42] होकर रह गया।
Trionfò la Verità e fallì ciò che avevano tramato.
118. Taigi, tiesa buvo patvirtinta ir visa, ką jie padarė, nepadarė jokio įspūdžio.
(Muusaan injifatuudhaan) Dhugaan ni mirkanaa’e; wanti isaan hojjataa turan ni bade.
И восторжествовала истина, и исчезло то, что они совершали.
И тако је истина на видело изашла и показало се да је било лажно оно што су они приредили,
Basi haki ikathibiti na yakabatilika yale waliyokuwa wakiyatenda.
Så segrade sanningen och det de hade gjort blev till intet.
Böylece hak yerini buldu ve onların yapmış oldukları şeylerin hepsi boşa çıktı.
پس حق ﻇاہر ہوگیا اور انہوں نے جو کچھ بنایا تھا سب جاتا رہا۔
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.

He said, "You throw!" And when they threw, they beguiled the eyes of the people, and intimidated them, and produced a mighty magic.
He said: Throw! And when they threw they cast a spell upon the people's eyes, and overawed them, and produced a mighty spell
Said he, 'Throw down;' and when they threw down, they did enchant the people's eyes, and made them dread, and brought a mighty magic
He said, "Cast ye down." And when they had cast them down they enchanted the people's eyes, and made them afraid; for they had displayed a great enchantment
He replied, 'Throw ye.' And when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people and struck them with awe and produced a mighty magic

The translators word this verse differently
And We inspired Moses: "Throw your staff." And at once, it swallowed what they were faking.
And We inspired Moses (saying): Throw thy staff! And lo! it swallowed up their lying show
But we inspired Moses (saying), 'Throw down thy rod, and it will gulp down that which they devise
Then spake we unto Moses, "Throw down thy rod;" and lo! it devoured their lying wonders
And We revealed to Moses: 'Throw thy rod,' and lo! it swallowed up whatever they feigned

There they were defeated, and utterly reduced.
Thus were they there defeated and brought low
and they were conquered there, and turned back feeling small
And they were vanquished on the spot, and drew back humiliated

But the other enchanters prostrated themselves adoring
And the sorcerers were impelled to fall down prostrate

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 — 0.64 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.
