And Moses said unto his people: Seek help in Allah and endure. Lo! the earth is Allah's. He giveth it for an inheritance to whom He will. And lo! the sequel is for those who keep their duty (unto Him)

Musai i tha popullit të vet: "Kërkoni ndihmë nga Allahu dhe bëni durim. Në të vërtetë, Toka është e Allahut e Ai ia jep si trashëgim atë kujt të dojë nga robërit e Tij, por fundi i mirë është për të devotshmit."
মূসা তাঁর সম্প্রদায়কে বললো: ‘তোমরা আল্লাহর কাছে সাহায্য চাও এবং ধৈর্যধারণ করো। নিশ্চয় জমিন আল্লাহরই। তিনিই তাঁর বান্দাদের মধ্যে যাকে ইচ্ছে এর উত্তরাধিকারী বানান। আর শুভ পরিণাম তো মুত্তাকীদের জন্যেই।’
Musa reče narodu svome: "Molite Allaha da vam pomogne i budite strpljivi, Zemlja je, doista, Allahova. On je daje u naslijeđe kome On hoće od robova Svojih; a lijep ishod pripada bogobojaznima."
Mojsije reče narodu svome: "Molite Allaha da vam pomogne i budite strpljivi, Zemlja je, doista, Allahova. On je daje u naslijeđe kome On hoće od robova Svojih; a lijep ishod pripada bogobojaznima."

მუსამ უთხრა თავის ხალხს: «ითხოვეთ დახმარება ალლაჰისგან და გამოიჩინეთ მოთმინება! უეჭველად, (მთელი) მიწა ეკუთვნის ალლაჰს: იგი აძლევს მას მემკვიდრეობად, ვისაც ინებებს თავის მსახურთაგან, ხოლო (კეთილი) დასასრული იქნება ღვთისმოშიშთათვის».
Musa sagte zu seinem Volk: „Sucht (flehend) Hilfe bei Allah, und seid geduldig! Wahrlich, die Erde gehört Allah; Er gibt sie zum Erbe, wem von Seinen Dienern Er will. Und das (gute) Ende gehört den (Allah-)Fürchtenden.“
Ο Μωυσής είπε στον λαό του: «Ζητήστε τη βοήθεια από τον Αλλάχ και μόνο και κάντε υπομονή. Πράγματι, η γη ανήκει στον Αλλάχ (και όχι στον Φαραώ), και τη δίνει σε όποιον θέλει (ο Αλλάχ) από τους δούλους Του. Και η επιτυχία στο τέλος είναι γι' εκείνους που φυλάσσονται από την τιμωρία του Αλλάχ (τηρώντας τις εντολές Του).»
मूसा ने अपनी जाति से कहा : अल्लाह से सहायता माँगो और धैर्य से काम लो। निःसंदेह धरती अल्लाह की है। वह अपने बंदों में जिसे चाहता है, उसका वारिस (उत्तराधिकारी) बनाता है। और अच्छा परिणाम परहेज़गारों के लिए है।
Disse Mūsā al suo popolo: «Chiedete aiuto ad Allāh e pazientate; in verità la terra è di Allāh: la fa ereditare da chi vuole dei Suoi servi, e l’esito finale è dei timorati».
128. Mūsa (Mozė) tarė savo žmonėms: „Prašykite Allaho pagalbos ir būkite kantrūs. Iš tiesų, žemė yra Allaho. Jis suteikia ją kaip paveldą tam, kam Jis nori iš Savo vergų. Ir (palaiminta) pabaiga yra Mutakūn (dievobaimingiesiems – žr. ają 2:2).”
Muusaan ummata isaatiin nijedhe "Rabbiin gargaarsifadhaa; obsaa, Dhugumatti dachiin tan Rabbiiti, Gabroota Isaa irraa nama fedhe ishee dhaalchisa. Booddeen gaariin tan warra Rabbiin sodaataniiti".
Муса сказал своему народу: «Просите помощи у Аллаха и будьте терпеливы. Воистину, земля принадлежит Аллаху; Он дарует её в наследство тем, из Своих рабов, кому пожелает. Благой итог — для богобоязненных».
Мојсије рече своме народу: „Молите Аллаха да вам помогне и будите стрпљиви, Земља је, заиста, Аллахова. Он је даје у наслеђе коме Он хоће од Својих слуга; а леп исход припада богобојазнима.“
Musa akawaambia kaumu yake: Ombeni msaada kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, na subirini. Hakika ardhi ni ya Mwenyezi Mungu, anairithisha amtakaye katika waja wake. Na mwisho mwema ni wa wacha Mungu.
Mose sa till sitt folk: ”Sök hjälp hos Gud och ha tålamod! Jorden tillhör Gud och han låter vem han vill av sina tjänare ta över den. Det goda slutet tillhör de gudfruktiga.”
Mûsâ kavmine: “Allah’tan yardım dileyin ve sabredin. Şüphesiz ki yeryüzü Allah’ındır, kullarından dilediğine onu miras verir. İyi akıbet ise, takvâ sahiplerinin olacaktır.” dedi.
موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) نے اپنی قوم سے فرمایا اللہ تعالیٰ کا سہارا حاصل کرو اور صبر کرو، یہ زمین اللہ تعالیٰ کی ہے، اپنے بندوں میں سے جس کو چاہے وه مالک بنا دے اور اخیر کامیابی ان ہی کی ہوتی ہے جو اللہ سے ڈرتے ہیں۔[1]
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.

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 — 0.62 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.
