Ai u largua prej tyre duke thënë: "O populli im, unë jua kumtova shpalljet e Zotit tim dhe ju këshillova, e përse të pikëllohem për popullin jobesimtar?!"
অতঃপর সে তাদের থেকে মুখ ফিরিয়ে নিলো এবং বললো: ‘হে আমার সম্প্রদায়! আমার রবের রিসালাত আমি তো তোমাদের কাছে পৌঁছে দিয়েছি এবং তোমাদের কল্যাণ কামনা করেছি । সুতরাং আমি কাফির সম্প্রদায়ের জন্য কি করে আক্ষেপ করি?

და განერიდა იგი [შუ'აიბი] მათ და თქვა: «ო, ჩემო ხალხო! მე უკვე გადმოგეცით ჩემი უფლის გზავნილი და გულწრფელად გირჩიეთ [რომ ირწმუნოთ ალლაჰი]. და როგორ უნდა ვიდარდო ურწმუნო ხალხზე?»
Da kehrte er sich von ihnen ab und sagte: „O mein Volk, ich habe euch doch die Botschaften meines Herrn ausgerichtet und euch gut geraten. Wie sollte ich denn betrübt sein über ungläubige Leute?“
Έτσι, (ο Σου‘άιμπ) απομακρύνθηκε απ' αυτούς και είπε (ως επίπληξη): «Ω, λαέ μου! Πράγματι, σας μετέδωσα τα μηνύματα του Κυρίου μου και σας έδωσα ειλικρινείς συμβουλές. Πώς λοιπόν να στεναχωριέμαι για έναν άπιστο λαό;»
तो शुऐब उनसे विमुख हो गए और कहा : ऐ मेरी जाति के लोगो! मैंने तुम्हें अपने पालनहार के संदेश पहुँचा दिए, तथा मैं तुम्हारा हितकारी रहा। तो फिर मैं काफ़िर जाति (के विनाश) पर कैसे शोक करूँ?
E così li abbandonò, e disse: “O popolo mio, vi ho comunicato i messaggi del mio Dio e vi ho dato consigli; come potrei provare dolore per un popolo miscredente?”
93. Tada jis (Šuaibas) nusigręžė nuo jų ir tarė: „O mano žmonės, aš tikrai perdaviau savo Viešpaties Žinią jums ir daviau jums gerą patarimą. Taigi, kaip aš galiu gedėti netikinčiųjų žmonių (sunaikinimo).“
(Shu’aybi) isaan irraa gara galee nijedhe "yaa ummata kiyya! Ani ergaalee Gooftaa kiyyaa isin dhaqqabsiiseera. Toltuu isiniif dhaameera. ummata kaafiraa irratti akkamittiin gadda!".
И он отвернулся от них и сказал: «О мой народ! Я действительно довёл до вас послания моего Господа и искренне наставлял вас. Как же мне скорбеть о народе, отвергающем веру?»
А он их напусти и рече: „О мој народе, пренео сам вам посланице свога Господара и саветовао вас, па зашто да тугујем за неверничким народом?!“
Basi akawaachilia mbali na akasema, "Enyi kaumu yangu! Hakika nimewafikishia jumbe za Mola wangu Mlezi, na nimewanasihi. Basi vipi niwahuzunikie kaumu makafiri?"
Han vände sig från dem och sa: ”Mitt folk! Jag förmedlade min Herres budskap till er och ville er uppriktigt väl. Hur kan jag sörja över ett så otroget folk?”
(Şuayb) onlardan yüz çevirdi ve dedi ki: "Ey kavmim! Size Rabbimin gönderdiklerini açıklamış ve size nasihat etmiştim. Şimdi kâfir bir kavme karşı nasıl üzülebilirim."
اس وقت شعیب (علیہ السلام) ان سے منھ موڑ کر چلے اور فرمانے لگے کہ اے میری قوم! میں نے تم کو اپنے پروردگار کے احکام پہنچا دیئے تھے اور میں نے تمہاری خیر خواہی کی۔ پھر میں ان کافر لوگوں پر کیوں رنج کروں۔[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.

Then We substituted prosperity in place of hardship. Until they increased in number, and said, "Adversity and prosperity has touched our ancestors." Then We seized them suddenly, while they were unaware.
Then changed We the evil plight for good till they grew affluent and said: Tribulation and distress did touch our fathers. Then We seized them unawares, when they perceived 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 — 0.52 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.
