Kështu, Ne e shpëtuam atë dhe familjen e tij, përveç gruas së tij, e cila ishte nga ata që mbetën pas.
অতঃপর আমি তাঁকে ও তাঁর পরিবার পরিজনকে রক্ষা করেছিলাম, তাঁর স্ত্রী ছাড়া, কারণ সে ছিল পিছনে অবস্থানকারীদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত।(২৪)
I Mi smo njega i porodicu njegovu spasili, osim žene njegove; ona je ostala sa onima koji su kaznu iskusili.
I Mi smo njega i obitelj njegovu spasili, osim žene njegove; ona je ostala sa onima koji su kaznu iskusili.

Da (er)retteten Wir ihn und seine Angehörigen, außer seiner Frau; Sie gehörte zu den Zurückgebliebenen.
Έτσι, σώσαμε αυτόν (τον Λωτ) και την οικογένειά του (διατάζοντάς τον να φύγουν το βράδυ από την πόλη) εκτός από τη γυναίκα του, η οποία ήταν απ' εκείνους που έμειναν πίσω (και καταστράφηκαν).
तो हमने उसे तथा उसके घर वालों को बचा लिया, उसकी पत्नी को छोड़कर, वह पीछे रहने वालों में से थी।
E lo salvammo con la sua famiglia, tranne sua moglie: lei fu tra i dannati.

И Мы спасли его и его семейство, кроме его жены: она была в числе оставшихся.
И Ми смо њега и породицу његову спасили, осим његове жене; она је остала са онима који су казну искусили.
Basi tukamwokoa yeye na ahali zake, isipokuwa mkewe, alikuwa miongoni mwa walioangamia.
Så vi räddade honom och hans familj, utom hans hustru – hon blev kvar.
Bunun üzerine Biz de hem onu hem de ehlini kurtardık. Ancak karısı geride kalıp helâk edilenlerden oldu.
سو ہم نے لوط (علیہ السلام) کو اور ان کے گھر والوں کو بچا لیا بجز ان کی بیوی کے کہ وه ان ہی لوگوں میں رہی جو عذاب میں ره گئے تھے۔[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.

The translators word this verse differently
"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

And to Median, their brother Shuaib. He said, "O my people, worship God; you have no god other than Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord. Give full measure and weight, and do not cheat people out of their rights, and do not corrupt the land once it has been set right. This is better for you, if you are believers."
And unto Midian (We sent) their brother, Shu'eyb. He said: O my people! Serve Allah. Ye have no other Allah save Him. Lo! a clear proof hath come unto you from your Lord; so give full measure and full weight and wrong not mankind in their goods, and work not confusion in the earth after the fair ordering thereof. That will be better for you, if ye are believers
And unto Midian did we send their brother Shohaib, who said, 'O my people! serve God, ye have no god save Him. There has come to you a manifest sign from your Lord; then give good weight and measure, and be not niggardly of your gifts to men, and do not evil in the earth after it has been righted.

And we sent to Madian their brother Shoaib. He said, "O my people! worship God; ye have no other God than Him: now hath a clear sign come to you from your Lord: give therefore the full in measures and weights; take from no man his chattels, and commit no disorder on the earth after it has been made so good. This will be better for you, if you will believe it
And unto Madian we sent their brother Shoaib. He said unto them, O my people, worship God; ye have no God besides Him. Now hath an evident demonstration come unto you from your Lord. Therefore give full measure and just weight, and diminish not unto men ought of their matters; neither act corruptly in the earth, after its reformation. This will be better for you, if ye believe

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 — 0.43 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.
