The translators word this verse differently
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.
Except for a proclamation from God and His messages. He who defies God and His Messenger-for him is the Fire of Hell, in which they will dwell forever."

Unë kam për detyrë vetëm të përcjell të vërtetën që më vjen nga Allahu dhe mesazhet e Tij. E kush i kundërvihet Allahut dhe të Dërguarit të Tij, për të do të jetë Zjarri i Xhehenemit, ku do të qëndrojë përgjithmonë.
‘কেবল আল্লাহর বাণী ও তাঁর রিসালাত পৌঁছানোই আমার দায়িত্ব। আর যে আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলকে অমান্য করে, তার জন্য রয়েছে জাহান্নামের আগুন। তাতে তারা চিরস্থায়ী হবে।’

(თქვი: «მე თქვენთვის არაფერს განვაგებ), გარდა იმისა, რომ ალლაჰისგან ვაუწყო, რაც მან მიბრძანა, და (გადმოგცეთ) მისი გზავნილები. ხოლო ვინც არ დაემორჩილება ალლაჰს და მის მოციქულს, მაშინ, ჭეშმარიტად, მისთვის გეენის ცეცხლია, რომელშიც ისინი მარადიულად დარჩებიან».
(Was ich verfüge, ist) nur die Übermittlung (der Offenbarung) von Allah und Seiner Botschaften.“ Und wer sich Allah und Seinem Gesandten widersetzt, so wird es für ihn gewiss das Feuer der Hölle geben, ewig und auf immer werden sie darin verweilen.
(Αυτό που μπορώ να κάνω για σας δεν είναι) παρά μόνο να σας μεταφέρω ό,τι λαμβάνω από τον Αλλάχ και τα μηνύματά Του.» Και όποιος παρακούσει τον Αλλάχ και τον Αγγελιαφόρο Του, γι’ αυτόν προορίζεται το Πυρ της Κολάσεως, όπου θα κατοικήσει εκεί μέσα για πάντα.
परंतु (मैं तो केवल) अल्लाह के आदेश पहुँचाने और उसके संदेशों का (अधिकार रखता हूँ)। और जो अल्लाह तथा उसके रसूल की अवज्ञा करेगा, तो निश्चय उसी के लिए जहन्नम की आग है, जिसमें वे हमेशा के लिए रहने वाले हैं।
se non comunicando un annuncio da Allāh e i Suoi messaggi. E chi disobbedisce ad Allāh e al Suo Messaggero, in verità avrà il fuoco dell’Inferno, dove resterà in eterno”.

[Моя обязанность —] лишь доведение [истины] от Аллаха и Его посланий. А кто ослушается Аллаха и Его посланника, — воистину, тому — огонь Геенны, в котором они будут пребывать вечно, навсегда.
и само могу да доставим оно што је од Аллаха и Његове поруке.“ А онога који Аллаху и Његовом Посланику не буде послушан - сигурно чека ватра Пакла; у њој ће вечно, заувек да остане.
Ila nifikishe Ujumbe utokao kwa Mwenyezi Mungu na risala zake. Na wenye kumuasi Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake, basi hakika hao watapata Moto wa Jahannamu wadumu humo milele.
Det jag kan göra är att förmedla Guds budskap. För den som trotsar Gud och hans sändebud väntar helvetets eld, och där ska han förbli för evigt.”
(Benim görevim) ancak Allah'tan (gönderilenleri) ve (tebliğ olunması emrolunanları) tebliğ etmektir. Kim Allah’a ve elçisine karşı gelirse, onun için içinde ebedî kalacağı Cehennem ateşi vardır.
البتہ (میرا کام) اللہ کی بات اور اس کے پیغامات (لوگوں کو) پہنچا دینا ہے[1] ، (اب) جو بھی اللہ اور اس کے رسول کی نہ مانے گا اس کے لیے جہنم کی آگ ہے جس میں ایسے لوگ ہمیشہ رہیں گے.
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.

Say: Lo! I control not hurt nor benefit for you

Say, verily I am not able, of myself, to procure you either hurt, or a right institution

Until, when they see what they were promised, they will know who is weaker in helpers, and fewer in numbers.
Till (the day) when they shall behold that which they are promised (they may doubt); but then they will know (for certain) who is weaker in allies and less in multitude
Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they surely know who is most weak at helping and fewest in numbers
Until they see their threatened vengeance they will be perverse! but then shall they know which side was the weakest in a protector and the fewest in number
Until they see the vengeance with which they are threatened, they will not cease their opposition: But then shall they know who were the weaker in a protector, and the fewer in number

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 — 0.69 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.
