Ata thanë: "Zoti ynë, ne i kemi bërë padrejtësi vetes; nëse Ti nuk na fal dhe nuk na mëshiron, ne me siguri do të jemi nga të humburit."
তারা বলল: ‘হে আমাদের রব ! আমরা নিজেদের প্রতি যুলম করছি। আর আপনি যদি আমাদের ক্ষমা না করেন এবং দয়া না করেন, তাহলে অবশ্যই আমরা ক্ষতিগ্রস্তদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত হবো।’
"Gospodaru naš", rekoše oni, "sami smo sebi nepravdu učinili, i ako nam Ti ne oprostiš i ne smiluješ nam se, sigurno ćemo u redovima gubitnika biti."
"Gospodaru naš," rekoše oni, "sami smo sebi nepravdu učinili, i ako nam Ti ne oprostiš i ne smiluješ nam se, sigurno ćemo u redovima gubitnika biti."
Ɓe mbi'i : "Joomi amen, min tooñii ko'e amen. Si A yaafaakii amen njurmiɗaa amen, ma min njeye e sooyɓe ɓeen".
ორივემ თქვეს [ადამმა და ჰავამ]: «ო, ჩვენო უფალო! ჩვენ თვითონვე დავუშავეთ საკუთარ თავს (რადგან შევჭამეთ აკრძალული ხის ნაყოფი), და თუ შენ არ გვაპატიებ და არ შეგვიწყალებ, ნამდვილად ვიქნებით წაგებულთაგანი».
Sie (beide) sagten: „Unser Herr, wir haben uns selbst Unrecht zugefügt. Und wenn Du uns nicht vergibst und Dich unser erbarmst, werden wir ganz gewiss zu den Verlorenen gehören.“
Είπαν: «Κύριέ μας! Αδικήσαμε τον εαυτό μας! Αν δεν μας συγχωρήσεις και δεν μας ελεήσεις, σίγουρα θα είμαστε από τους χαμένους!»
दोनों ने कहा : ऐ हमारे पालनहार! हमने अपने आपपर अत्याचार किया है। और यदि तूने हमें क्षमा न किया तथा हमपर दया न की, तो निश्चय हम अवश्य घाटा उठाने वालों में से हो जाएँगे।[7]
Dissero: «Dio nostro, abbiamo fatto un torto a noi stessi, e se non dovessi perdonarci e avere pietà di noi, saremmo in verità tra i perdenti».
23. Jie tarė: „Mūsų Viešpatie, mes patys save nuskriaudėme. Jei Tu mums neatleisi ir nesuteiksi mums Savo Gailestingumo, mes tikrai būsime pralaimėjusieji.“
"Gooftaa keenya! lubbuulee teenya miinee jirra. Yoo ati nuuf hin araaramneefi rahmata nuuf hin goone nuti Dhugumatti warra hoonga’an irraa taana" jedhan.
Они оба сказали: «Господь наш! Мы были несправедливы к самим себе, и если Ты не простишь нас и не помилуешь, мы непременно окажемся в числе потерпевших убыток».
„Господару наш“, рекоше они, „сами смо себи неправду учинили, и ако нам Ти не опростиш и не смилујеш нам се, сигурно ћемо да настрадамо.“
Wakasema: Mola wetu Mlezi! Tumezidhulumu nafsi zetu, na kama hutatufutia dhambi na ukaturehemu, hakika tutakuwa katika waliohasirika.
De svarade: ”Herre! Vi har gjort orätt mot oss själva. Om du inte förlåter oss och förbarmar dig över oss kommer vi att vara förlorade.”
O ikisi: "Rabbimiz! Biz kendimize zulmettik. Eğer bizi bağışlamaz ve bize merhamet etmezsen elbette hüsrana uğrayanlardan oluruz.” dediler.
دونوں نے کہا اے ہمارے رب! ہم نے اپنا بڑا نقصان کیا اور اگر تو ہماری مغفرت نہ کرے گا اور ہم پر رحم نہ کرے گا تو واقعی ہم نقصان پانے والوں میں سے ہوجائیں گے۔[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.

So he lured them with deceit. And when they tasted the tree, their nakedness became evident to them, and they began covering themselves with the leaves of the Garden. And their Lord called out to them, "Did I not forbid you from this tree, and say to you that Satan is a sworn enemy to you?"
Thus did he lead them on with guile. And when they tasted of the tree their shame was manifest to them and they began to hide (by heaping) on themselves some of the leaves of the Garden.

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 — 0.52 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.
