(duke thënë më vete): "Ne ju ushqejmë vetëm për hir të Allahut; nuk duam prej jush as shpërblim e as falënderim.
তারা বলে: ‘আমরা তো আল্লাহর সন্তুষ্টির উদ্দেশ্যে তোমাদেরকে খাদ্য দান করি। আমরা তোমাদের থেকে কোন প্রতিদান চাই না এবং কোন কৃতজ্ঞতাও না।

“Mi vas samo zarad Allahova Lica hranimo, od vas ni priznanja ni zahvalnosti ne tražimo!
Miin ñamminirta mon ko sabi Alla miin faalaaka e mon njoɓdi wona yetteede.
(და ისინი გულში ამბობდნენ): «ჩვენ ხომ მხოლოდ ალლაჰის სახისათვის [მისი კმაყოფილების მოსაპოვებლად] გკვებავთ; თქვენგან არც საზღაურს ველით და არც მადლიერებას!
„Wir speisen euch nur im Trachten nach Allahs Angesicht. Wir wollen von euch weder Belohnung noch Dank.
(Λέγοντας μέσα τους): «Σας τρέφουμε μόνο για τη Χάρη του Αλλάχ. Δεν θέλουμε από σας ούτε αμοιβή, ούτε ευχαριστίες.
(और कहते हैं :) हम तो तुम्हें केवल अल्लाह के चेहरे की ख़ातिर खिलाते हैं। न तुमसे कोई बदला चाहते हैं और न कृतज्ञता।
»In verità vi nutriamo per amore di Allāh e non pretendiamo da voi né ricompensa né riconoscenza;

„Ми вас само због Аллаховог Лица хранимо, од вас ни признања ни захвалности не тражимо!
Hakika sisi tunakulisheni kwa wajihi wa Mwenyezi Mungu. Hatutaki kwenu malipo wala shukrani.
[De säger inom sig:] ”Vi ger er mat enbart sökande Guds ansikte; vi vill varken ha ersättning eller tack från er.

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
They fulfill their vows, and dread a Day whose ill is widespread.
(Because) they perform the vow and fear a day whereof the evil is wide-spreading
They who fulfill their vows, and fear a day, the evil which shall fly abroad
They who fulfilled their vows, and feared the day whose woes will spread far and wide
These fulfil their vow, and dread the day, the evil whereof will disperse itself far abroad

And they feed, for the love of Him, the poor, and the orphan, and the captive.
And feed with food the needy wretch, the orphan and the prisoner, for love of Him
and who give food for His love to the poor and the orphan and the captive
Who though longing for it themselves, bestowed their food on the poor and the orphan and the captive
and give food unto the poor, and the orphan, and the bondman, for his sake

A stern and calamitous day dread we from our Lord
Verily we dread, from our Lord, a dismal and calamitous day

So God will protect them from the ills of that Day, and will grant them radiance and joy.
Therefor Allah hath warded off from them the evil of that day, and hath made them find brightness and joy
And God will guard them from the evil of that day and will cast on them brightness and joy
From the evil therefore of that day hath God delivered them and cast on them brightness of face and joy
Wherefore God shall deliver them from the evil of that day, and shall cast on them brightness of countenance, and joy

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 — 0.54 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.
