Kur Musait i kaloi zemërimi, i mori Pllakat, në të cilat kishte udhëzim dhe mëshirë për ata që i frikësohen Zotit të tyre.
অবশেষে যখন মূসার ক্রোধ থেমে গেল, তখন সে ফলকগুলো তুলে নিল। যারা নিজেদের রবকে ভয় করে এর লেখাগুলোতে তাদের জন্যে হিদায়াত ও রহমত ছিলো ।
I kada Musaova srdžba minu, on uze ploče na kojima je bila ispisana uputa i milost za one koji od Gospodara svoga strahuju.
I kada Mojsijeva srdžba minu, on uze ploče na kojima je bila ispisana uputa i milost za one koji od Gospodara svoga strahuju.
Nde tikkere nden deeƴunoo e Muusaa, o ƴetti alluuje ɗen. Tawi no e binndoodi majje, peewal e yurmeende wonan de ɓeen hulooɓe Joomi muen.
და როცა მუსას რისხვა დაწყნარდა, მან აიღო დაფები. მათზე იყო ამოკვეთილი ჭეშმარიტი გზა და წყალობა მათთვის, ვისაც თავისი უფლის ეშინია.
Und als sich bei Musa der Zorn legte, nahm er die Tafeln. In ihrer Schrift ist Rechtleitung und Barmherzigkeit für die, die vor ihrem Herrn Ehrfurcht haben.
Όταν η οργή του Μωυσή ηρέμησε, σήκωσε τις πλάκες, οι οποίες περιείχαν καθοδήγηση και έλεος για όσους φοβούνται τον Κύριό τους.
फिर जब मूसा का क्रोध शांत हो गया, तो उसने तख़्तियाँ उठा लीं, और उनके लेख में उन लोगों के लिए मार्गदर्शन तथा दया थी, जो केवल अपने पालनहार से डरते हों।
E quando l’ira di Mūsā si placò, raccolse le Tavole ﴿أَخَذَ الْأَلْوَاحَ﴾, nel cui testo c’è Guida e Misericordia per quelli che temono il loro Dio.
154. O kai Mūsos (Mozės) pyktis nurimo, jis paėmė Lenteles. Ir jų įraše buvo teisingas vedimas ir gailestingumas tiems, kurie bijo savo Viešpaties.
Yeroma dallansuun Muusaa irraa qabbanaa’u loohiwwan fuudhe, Barreefama ishee keessa qajeelfamaafi rahmatatu warra Gooftaa isaanii sodaataniif jira.
Когда гнев Мусы утих, он взял скрижали. В том, что было начертано на них, — руководство и милость для тех, которые испытывают трепет перед своим Господом.
И када Мојсијева срџба прође, он узе плоче на којима је била исписана упута и милост за оне који од Господара свога страхују.
Na wakati ghadhabu ilipomtulia Musa, akazichukua mbao zile. Na katika maandiko yake kuna uongofu na rehema kwa wale ambao wanamhofu Mola wao Mlezi.
När Moses vrede lagt sig plockade han upp skrifttavlorna vilkas text innehöll vägledning och barmhärtighet för de som bävar inför sin Herre.
Mûsâ ’nın öfkesi yatışınca levhaları aldı. Onlardaki yazıda Rabblerinden korkanlara hidayet ve rahmet vardı.
اور جب موسیٰ (علیہ السلام) کا غصہ فرد ہوا تو ان تختیوں کو اٹھا لیا اور ان کے مضامین میں[1] ان لوگوں کے لیے جو اپنے رب سے ڈرتے تھے ہدایت اور رحمت تھی۔[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 who idolized the calf have incurred wrath from their Lord, and humiliation in this life. We thus requite the innovators.
Lo! Those who chose the calf (for worship), terror from their Lord and humiliation will come upon them in the life of the world. Thus do We requite those who invent a lie
Verily, these have taken to themselves a calf; there shall reach them wrath from their Lord, and abasement in the life of this world; for thus do we reward those who forge a lie
Verily as to those who took the calf as a god, wrath from their Lord shall overtake them, and shame in this present life: for thus recompense we the devisers of a lie

The translators word this verse differently
As for those who commit sins, and then repent afterwards and believe-your Lord, thereafter, is Forgiving and Merciful.
But those who do ill-deeds and afterward repent and believe - lo! for them, afterward, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful
But those who have done bad works, and then turn again after them and believe,- verily, thy Lord, after that, is forgiving and merciful
But to those who have done evil, then afterwards repent and believe, thy Lord will thereafter be Lenient, Merciful
And those who do evil deeds and repent and believe, surely, thy Lord after that is Most Forgiving, Merciful

And Moses chose from his people seventy men for Our appointment. When the tremor shook them, he said, "My Lord, had You willed, You could have destroyed them before, and me too.

Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt: Thou art our Protecting Friend, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us, Thou, the Best of all who show forgiveness

And Moses chose seventy men of his people for a meeting appointed by us. And when the earthquake overtook them, he said, "O my Lord! if it had been thy pleasure, thou hadst destroyed them and me ere this! wilt thou destroy us for what our foolish ones have done?

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 — 0.41 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.
