Të parët do t'u thonë të fundmëve: "Ju nuk ishit asgjë më të mirë se ne, prandaj shijoni dënimin për atë që keni punuar."
আর তাদের পূর্ববর্তীরা পরবর্তীদেরকে বলবে: ‘আমাদের ওপর তোমাদের কোনো শ্রেষ্ঠত্ব নেই। কাজেই তোমরা (কুফরি ও গুনাহের) যা অর্জন করেছিলে তার জন্য শাস্তি ভোগ করো ।
A oni iz prve reći će onima iz druge: "Vi nemate nikakve prednosti nad nama! Zato iskusite patnju za ono što ste radili."
A oni iz prve reći će onima iz druge: "Vi nemate nikakve prednosti nad nama! Zato iskusite patnju za ono što ste radili."
Aramɓe maɓɓe ɓen mbi'ana sakkitiiɓe ɓeen : "Alanaa on e dow amen ɓural, meeɗiree lepte ɗen sabu kon ko paggitotonoɗon".
და მაშინ იტყვის პირველი (თემი) მეორეს [თავიანთ მიმდევრებს]: «თქვენ არ გქონდათ ჩვენზე არანაირი უპირატესობა [ჩვენ ერთნაირად ვიყავით შეცდომაში]». (და ალლაჰი იტყვის): «მაში, იგემეთ სასჯელი იმისთვის, რასაც იძენდით!»
Und die erste (Gruppe) von ihnen sagt zu der letzten: „Ihr habt doch keinen Vorzug gegenüber uns. So kostet die Strafe für das, was ihr verdient habt.“
Οι πρώτοι (οι αρχηγοί) απ' αυτούς θα πουν στους τελευταίους (στους οπαδούς) απ' αυτούς: «Δεν υπερέχετε λοιπόν από μας (για να ελαφρυνθεί το μαρτύριο για σας), γευτείτε λοιπόν (όπως και εμείς) το μαρτύριο για ό,τι διαπράξατε.»
तथा उनमें से पहला समूह अपने बाद के समूह से कहेगा : फिर तुम्हें हमपर कोई श्रेष्ठता[15] नहीं है। अतः जो कुछ तुम कमाया करते थे उसके बदले में यातना का स्वाद चखो।
E dirà la prima all’ultima: «Voi non avete nessun vantaggio su di noi! Assaggiate la punizione per quello che accumulavate!»
39. Pirmoji iš jų sakys paskutiniajai iš jų: „Jūs nebuvote geresni už mus, taigi ragaukite kančią už tai, ką jūs įgijote.“
Warri dura isaanii (hoggantoonni) warra booddee isaaniitiin (hordoftootaan) ni jette "isiniif nurra caaliinsi wahii hin taane; Waan hojjachaa turtaniif jecha azaaba dhandhamaa".
И первые из них скажут последним: «У вас не было над нами никакого преимущества, так вкушайте же наказание за то, что вы приобретали!»
А они из претходних заједница рећи ће онима из каснијих: „Ви немате никакве предности над нама! Зато искусите патњу за оно што сте радили.“
Na wa mwanzo wao atamwambia wa mwisho wao: Basi nyinyi pia hamkuwa na ubora wowote kuliko sisi. Basi onjeni adhabu kwa sababu ya yale mliyokuwa mkiyachuma.
Och de första ska säga till de sista: ”Ni var inte alls bättre än vi. Känn nu på det straff som ni har förtjänat genom era handlingar!”
Öncekiler de, kendilerinden sonra gelenlere: “Sizin, bizden herhangi bir üstünlüğünüz yoktur. Siz de kazanmış olduklarınıza karşılık azabı tadın!” derler.
اور پہلے لوگ پچھلے لوگوں سے کہیں گے کہ پھر تم کو ہم پر کوئی فوقیت نہیں سو تم بھی اپنی کمائی کے بدلے میں عذاب کامزه چکھو۔
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.
shown so it's never read alone

Who does greater wrong than he who invents lies about God, or denies His revelations? These-their share of the decree will reach them. Until, when Our envoys come to them, to take their souls away, they will say, "Where are they whom you used to pray to besides God?" They will say, "They have abandoned us," and they will testify against themselves that they were faithless.
Who doeth greater wrong than he who inventeth a lie concerning Allah or denieth Our tokens. (For such) their appointed portion of the Book (of destiny) reacheth them till, when Our messengers come to gather them, they say: Where (now) is that to which ye cried beside Allah? They say: They have departed from us. And they testify against themselves that they were disbelievers
Who is more unjust than he who devises against God a lie, or says His signs are lies? These, their portion of the Book shall reach them, until when our messengers come to take their souls away, and say, 'Where is what ye used to call upon instead of God?' they say, 'They have strayed away from us;' and they shall bear witness against themselves that they have been misbelievers
And who is worse than he who deviseth a lie of God, or treateth our signs as lies? To them shall a portion here below be assigned in accordance with the Book of our decrees, until the time when our messengers, as they receive their souls, shall say, "Where are they on whom ye called beside God?" They shall say: "Gone from us." And they shall witness against themselves that they were infidels
And who is more unjust than he who deviseth a lie concerning God, or accuseth his signs of imposture? Unto these shall be given their portion of worldly happiness, according to what is written in the book of God's decrees, until our messengers come unto them, and shall cause them to die; saying, where are the idols which ye called upon, besides God? They shall answer, they have disappeared from us. And they shall bear witness against themselves, that they were unbelievers

He will say, "Join the crowds of jinn and humans who have gone into the Fire before you." Every time a crowd enters, it will curse its sister-crowd. Until, when they are all in it, the last of them will say to the first of them, "Our Lord, these are the ones who misled us, so inflict on them a double punishment in the Fire." He will say, "Each will have a double, but you do not know."
He saith: Enter into the Fire among nations of the jinn and humankind who passed away before you. Every time a nation entereth, it curseth its sister (nation) till, when they have all been made to follow one another thither, the last of them saith unto the first of them: Our Lord! These led us astray, so give them double torment of the Fire. He saith: For each one there is double (torment), but ye know not
He will say, 'Enter ye - amongst the nations who have passed away before you, both of ginns and men - into the fire;' whenever a nation enters therein, it curses its mate; until, when they have all reached it, the last of them will say unto the first, 'O our Lord! these it was who led us astray, give them double torment of the fire!' He will say, 'To each of you double! but ye do not know
He shall say, "Enter ye into the Fire with the generations of Djinn and men who have preceded you. So oft as a fresh generation entereth, it shall curse its sister, until when they have all reached it, the last comers shall say to the former, 'O our Lord! these are they who led us astray: assign them therefore a double torment of the fire:"' He will say, "Ye shall all have double." But of this are ye ignorant
God shall say unto them at the resurrection, enter ye with the nations which have preceded you, of genii and of men, into hell fire: So often as one nation shall enter, it shall curse its sister, until they shall all have successively entered therein. The latter of them shall say of the former of them, O Lord, these have seduced us; therefore inflict on them a double punishment of the fire of hell. God shall answer, it shall be doubled unto all; but ye know it not

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 — 0.60 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.
