Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
But as for those whose weights are light-it is they who have lost their souls, because they used to mistreat Our revelations.

Ndërkaq, ata, peshorja e të cilëve do të jetë e lehtë, mu ata janë që e kanë humbur vetveten, sepse i mohonin padrejtësisht ajetet Tona.
আর যাদের পাল্লা হালকা হবে, তারাই হবে সেই সব লোক, যারা নিজেরাই নিজেদের ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত করেছে। কারণ তারা আমার আয়াতসমূহের প্রতি যুলম করত।
a oni čiji tas dobra bude lakši, oni će, zato što ajete i znakove Naše nisu priznavali, stradati.

Und wessen Waagschalen aber leicht sein werden, so sind das jene, die ihre Seelen verloren haben dafür, dass sie an Unseren Zeichen unrecht zu handeln pflegten.
Όσο γι' εκείνους των οποίων η ζυγαριά (των καλών πράξεων) θα είναι ελαφριά, αυτοί θα είναι που έχασαν τον εαυτό τους για ό,τι αρνήθηκαν άδικα από τα Εδάφια Μας.

9. O tie, kurių atsvara bus lengva, jie yra tie, kurie praras patys save (įžengdami į Pragarą), nes jie neigė ir atmetė Mūsų Ajat (įrodymus, įkalčius, eilutes, pamokas, ženklus, apreiškimus ir t.t.).

А те, чьи весы окажутся лёгкими, — это те, которые нанесли урон самим себе своим несправедливым отношением к Нашим знамениям.
а они чија добра дела буду лака, они ће, зато што су према Нашим речима и доказима били неправедни, да настрадају.
Na yule ambaye vipimo vyake vitakuwa hafifu, basi hao ndio waliozihasirisha nafsi zao kwa sababu ya vile walivyokuwa wakizifanyia Ishara zetu udhalimu.
Men de vars vågskålar väger lätt har förlorat sig själva för att de ständigt förkastade våra tecken.
Tartıları hafif gelenler, ayetlerimize yaptıkları zulümlerden ötürü kendilerini hüsrana sokanlardır.
اور جس شخص کا پلا ہلکا ہوگا سو یہ وه لوگ ہوں گے جنہوں نے اپنا نقصان کرلیا بسبب اس کے کہ ہماری آیتوں کے ساتھ ﻇلم کرتے 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 weighing on that day is the true (weighing). As for those whose scale is heavy, they are the successful

The weighing on that day, with justice! and they whose balances shall be heavy, these are they who shall be happy
The weighing of mens actions on that day shall be just; and they whose balances laden with their good works shall be heavy, are those who shall be happy

We created you, then We shaped you, then We said to the angels, "Bow down before Adam;" so they bowed down, except for Satan; he was not of those who bowed down.
And We created you, then fashioned you, then told the angels: Fall ye prostrate before Adam! And they fell prostrate, all save Iblis, who was not of those who make prostration
and we created you, then we fashioned you, then we said unto the angels, ' Adore Adam,' and they adored, save Iblis, who was not of those who did adore
We created you; then fashioned you; then said we to the angels, "Prostrate yourselves unto Adam: and they prostrated them all in worship, save Eblis: He was not among those who prostrated themselves

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 — 0.62 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.
