Kujto Lutin, kur i tha popullit të vet: "Si mund të bëni fëlliqësi që nuk e ka bërë askush në botë para jush?
আর আমি লূতকেও পাঠিয়েছিলাম। যখন তিনি তাঁর সম্প্রদায়কে বললেন: ‘তোমরা কি এমন অশ্লীল কাজ করছ, যা তোমাদের পূর্বে সৃষ্টিকুলের কেউ করেনি’?
I sjeti se Luta - kad reče narodu svome: "Zašto činite razvrat koji niko među svim svjetovima prije vas nije činio?
I sjeti se Lota – kad reče narodu svome: "Zašto činite razvrat koji nitko među svim svjetovima prije vas nije činio?
E luuti, tuma nde o maakannoo yimɓe makko ɓen : " E o ngaray e paŋkare ɗe goɗɗo goo adaaki on e mun e Winndere ndeen?!
და (ასევე გავაგზავნეთ) შუამავალი ლუტი. აი, მან უთხრა თავის ხალხს: «ნუთუ თქვენ ჩაიდენთ ისეთ საზიზღრობას, რომელშიც თქვენამდე სამყაროთა შორის არც ერთს არ ჩაუდენია?»
Und (gedenke) Lut, als er zu seinem Volk sagte: „Wollt ihr denn das Abscheuliche begehen, wie es vor euch niemand von den Weltenbewohnern begangen hat?
Και (ανάφερε, ω, Μωχάμμαντ, για) τον Λωτ, όταν είπε στον λαό του: «Διαπράττετε μια τέτοια επαίσχυντη πράξη (την ανωμαλία) που κανείς από όλο τον κόσμο δεν την έχει διαπράξει ποτέ πριν από σας;
तथा लूत[33] को (भेजा), जब उसने अपनी जाति से कहा : क्या तुम ऐसी निर्लज्जता का कार्य करते हो, जिसे तुमसे पहले दुनिया में किसी ने नहीं किया?
E inviammo Lūţ, che disse alla sua gente: «Praticate la nefandezza? Non vi ha preceduto nessun popolo dei Mondi!
80. Ir (atminkite) Lūtą (Lotą), kai jis sakė savo žmonėms: „Argi jūs darote blogiausią iš nuodėmių, tokią, kokios niekas iš buvusiųjų pirma jūsų iš Alamyn (žmonijos ir džinų) nedarė?“
Luuxiinis, yeroo inni (haala kan isaan mormu taheen) ummata isaatiin jedhe (yaadadhaa): "Sila isin badii fokkataa aalama irraa (namni) tokkolleen isheedhaan isin hin dursin hojjattanii? [16]
И [вспомни] Лута, как он сказал своему народу: «Неужели вы совершаете мерзость, которую прежде вас никто из миров не совершал?
И спомени Лота када рече своме народу: „Зашто чините разврат који нико међу свим световима пре вас није чинио?
Na Lut alipowaambia kaumu yake, "Je, mnafanya uchafu ambao hajawatangulia kwa huo yeyote katika walimwengu?
Och Lot sa till sitt folk: ”Begår ni en skamlöshet som ingen på jorden begått före er?
Hani Lût da kavmine şöyle demişti: "Sizden evvel âlemlerden hiç kimsenin yapmadığı hayasızlığı mı yapıyorsunuz?”
اور ہم نے لوط (علیہ السلام) کو بھیجا[1] جبکہ انہوں نے اپنی قوم سے فرمایا کہ تم ایسا فحش کام کرتے ہو جس کو تم سے پہلے کسی نے دنیا جہان والوں میں سے نہیں کیا۔
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.

Whereupon the quake overtook them, and they became lifeless bodies in their homes.
So the earthquake seized them, and morning found them prostrate in their dwelling-place
Then the earthquake took them, and in the morning they lay prone in their dwellings
Then the earthquake surprised them; and in the morning they were found dead on their faces in their dwellings
Whereupon a terrible noise from heaven assailed them; and in the morning they were found in their dwellings prostrate on their breasts and dead

Then he turned away from them, and said, "O my people, I have delivered to you the message of my Lord, and I have advised you, but you do not like those who give advice."
And (Salih) turned from them and said: O my people! I delivered my Lord's message unto you and gave you good advice, but ye love not good advisers
and he turned away from them and said, 'O my people! I did preach to you the message of my Lord, and I gave you good advice! but ye love not sincere advisers
So he turned away from them, and said, "O my people! I did indeed announce to you the message of my Lord: and I gave you faithful counsel, but ye love not faithful counsellors
And Saleh departed from them, and said, O my people, now have I delivered unto you the message of my Lord; and I advised you well, but ye love not those who advise you well

"You lust after men rather than women. You are an excessive people."
Lo! ye come with lust unto men instead of women. Nay, but ye are wanton folk
verily, ye approach men with lust rather than women - nay, ye are a people who exceed
Come ye to men, instead of women, lustfully? Ye are indeed a people given up to excess
Do ye approach lustfully unto men, leaving the women? Certainly ye are people who transgress all modesty

And his people's only answer was to say, "Expel them from your town; they are purist people."
And the answer of his people was only that they said (one to another): Turn them out of your township. They are folk, forsooth, who keep pure
But his people's answer only was to say, 'Turn them out of your village, verily, they are a people who pretend to purity
But the only answer of his people was to say, "Turn them out of your city, for they are men who vaunt them pure
But the answer of his people was no other than that they said the one to the other, expel them from your city; for they are men who preserve themselves pure from the crimes which ye commit

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.
