Nëse një grup prej jush beson në atë me të cilën jam dërguar e grupi tjetër nuk beson, atëherë duroni derisa Allahu të gjykojë mes nesh! Ai është Gjykatësi më i mirë."
আমি যা নিয়ে প্রেরিত হয়েছি, তাতে যদি তোমাদের কোনো একদল ঈমান আনে এবং আরেক দল ঈমান না আনে, তবে অপেক্ষা করো; যতক্ষণ না আল্লাহ আমাদের মধ্যে ফয়সালা করে দেন। আর তিনিই সর্বোত্তম ফয়সালাকারী।

თუ თქვენგან ერთმა ნაწილმა ირწმუნა ის, რითაც მე ვარ მოვლენილი, ხოლო მეორემ არ ირწმუნა, მაშინ მოთმინება იქონიეთ, სანამ ალლაჰი არ განსჯის ჩვენს შორის. და ჭეშმარიტად, იგია საუკეთესო განმსჯელთა შორის!»
Und wenn eine Gruppe von euch an das glauben sollte, womit ich gesandt worden bin, eine andere Gruppe aber nicht glauben sollte, so geduldet euch, bis Allah zwischen uns richtet. Und Er ist der Beste unter den Richtenden.
Εάν υπάρχει μία ομάδα από σας που πιστεύει σ' αυτό με το οποίο έχω σταλεί, ενώ άλλη ομάδα δεν πιστεύει, τότε περιμένετε μέχρι να κρίνει ο Αλλάχ ανάμεσά μας, και Αυτός είναι ο Καλύτερος από τους κριτές.»
और यदि तुममें से एक समूह उसपर ईमान लाया है, जिसके साथ मैं भेजा गया हूँ और दूसरा समूह ईमान नहीं लाया, तो तुम धैर्य रखो, यहाँ तक कि अल्लाह हमारे बीच निर्णय कर दे और वह सब निर्णय करने वालों से बेहतर है।
E se un gruppo di voi ha creduto in ciò con cui sono stato inviato, e un altro gruppo non vi crede, pazientate finché Allāh giudicherà tra noi, e Lui è il migliore dei Giudici!”

Если часть из вас уверовала в то, с чем я был послан, а часть — не уверовала, то проявляйте терпение, пока Аллах не рассудит между нами, ведь Он — лучший из судей».
И ако једни од вас верују у оно што је по мени послато, а други не верују, па причекајте док нам Аллах не пресуди, а Он је најбољи судија!“
Na kama liko kundi miongoni mwenu lililoamini haya niliyotumwa nayo, na kundi lingine halikuamini, basi subirini mpaka Mwenyezi Mungu ahukumu baina yetu. Naye ndiye Mbora zaidi wa wenye kuhukumu."
Om en grupp bland er tror på det jag sänts med och en annan inte tror, ha då tålamod tills Gud dömer mellan oss. Han är den bäste domaren.”
Eğer benimle gönderilene içinizden bir grup iman edip, bir grup da iman etmemişse, hüküm verenlerin en hayırlısı olan Allah, aramızda hüküm verinceye kadar sabredin.
اور اگر تم میں سے کچھ لوگ اس حکم پر، جس کو دے کر مجھ کو بھیجا گیا، ایمان لے آئے ہیں اور کچھ ایمان نہیں ﻻئے ہیں تو ذرا ٹھہر جاؤ! یہاں تک کہ ہمارے درمیان اللہ فیصلہ کئے دیتا ہے اور وه سب فیصلہ کرنے والوں سے بہتر ہے۔[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.

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. That is better for you if ye are believers
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

Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked. And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you. And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters
and sit not down in every path, threatening and turning from the path of God those who believe in Him, and craving to make it crooked. Remember when ye were few and He multiplied you; and see what was the end of the evildoers
And lay not in ambush by every road in menacing sort; nor mislead him who believeth in God, from His way, nor seek to make it crooked; and remember when ye were few and that he multiplied you, and behold what hath been the end of the authors of disorder

The translators word this verse differently
The arrogant elite among his people said, "O Shuaib, We will evict you from our town, along with those who believe with you, unless you return to our religion." He said, "Even if we are unwilling?"
The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said: Surely we will drive thee out, O Shu'eyb, and those who believe with thee, from our township, unless ye return to our religion. He said: Even though we hate it
Said the crowd of those who were big with pride amongst His people, 'We will of a surety turn thee out, O Shohaib! and those who believe with thee, from our village; or else thou shalt return unto our faith.' Said he, 'What even if we be averse therefrom
Said the chiefs of his people puffed up with pride, "We will surely banish thee, O Shoaib, and thy fellow-believers from our cities, unless indeed ye shall come back to our religion." "What!" said he, "though we abhor it
The chief men of his people who were arrogant said, 'Assuredly we will drive thee out, O Shu'aib, and the believers that are with thee from our town, or you shall return to our religion.' He said, 'Even though we be unwilling

If we return to your religion after God has saved us therefrom, we would indeed admit that we had been forging a lie against God.

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 — 0.47 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.
