That is because they opposed God and His Messenger. Whoever opposes God and His Messenger-God is severe in retribution.

Kjo, se ata iu kundërvunë Allahut dhe të Dërguarit të Tij. E kushdo që i kundërvihet Allahut dhe të Dërguarit të Tij, le ta dijë se Allahu është i rreptë në ndëshkim.
এটি(৫) এ কারণে যে, তারা আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলের বিরোধিতা করেছে। আর যে ব্যক্তি আল্লাহ ও তাঁর রাসূলের বিরোধিতা করবে, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ শাস্তি দানে কঠোর।(৬)
To je zato što su se suprotstavljali Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu; a onoga ko se suprotstavlja Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu, Allah će, zaista, strašno kazniti.
To je zato što su se suprotstavljali Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu; a onoga tko se suprotstavlja Allahu i Poslaniku Njegovu, Allah će, zaista, strašno kazniti.

ეს [ურწმუნოთა თავებისა და კიდურების მოჭრა] არის იმისთვის, რომ ისინი აღდგნენ ალლაჰისა და მისი მოციქულის წინააღმდეგ. და ვინც აღდგება ალლაჰისა და მისი მოციქულის წინააღმდეგ, ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი ძლიერია სასჯელში!
Dies dafür, dass sie Allah und Seinem Gesandten entgegenwirkten. Und wer Allah und Seinem Gesandten entgegenwirkt, so ist Allah fürwahr streng im Bestrafen.
Αυτό επειδή αντιτάχθηκαν (με εχθρότητα) στον Αλλάχ και στον Αγγελιαφόρο Του. Και όποιος αντιτίθεται στον Αλλάχ και στον Αγγελιαφόρο Του, τότε στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ είναι Αυστηρός στην τιμωρία Του.
यह इसलिए कि निःसंदेह उन्होंने अल्लाह और उसके रसूल का विरोध किया तथा जो अल्लाह और उसके रसूल का विरोध करे, तो निःसंदेह अल्लाह कड़ी यातना देने वाला है।
Ciò perché hanno contrastato Allāh e il Suo Messaggero, e chi contrasta Allāh e il Suo Messaggero, in verità Allāh è severo nel punire.
13. Tai todėl, kad jie nepaisė ir nepakluso Allahui ir Jo Pasiuntiniui. Ir kas nepaiso ir nepaklūsta Allahui ir Jo Pasiuntiniui, tada iš tiesų, Allahas yra Rūstus bausmėje.
Kun waan isaan Rabbiifi ergamaa Isaa faallessaniifi, Namni Rabbiifi ergamaa Isaa faallesse, (Rabbiin isa adaba) Rabbiin adabbiin isaa cimaadha.
Это — за то, что они воспротивились Аллаху и Его Посланнику. А кто противится Аллаху и Его Посланнику, — то воистину, Аллах суров в возмездии!
То је зато што су се супротстављали Аллаху и Његовом Посланику; а онога ко се супротставља Аллаху и Његовом Посланику, Аллах ће, заиста, да казни страшно.
Hayo ni kwa sababu walimuasi Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake. Na mwenye kumuasi Mwenyezi Mungu na Mtume wake, basi hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mkali wa kuadhibu.
Detta för att de trotsade Gud och hans sändebud, och den som trotsar Gud och hans sändebud [ska veta] att Gud straffar med stränghet.
Bu, onların Allah’a ve Rasûlüne karşı gelmelerindendir. Her kim de Allah’a ve Rasûlüne karşı gelirse; bilsin ki Allah’ın cezası şiddetlidir.
یہ اس بات کی سزا ہے کہ انہوں نے اللہ کی اور اس کے رسول کی مخالفت کی۔ اور جو اللہ کی اور اس کے رسول کی مخالفت کرتا ہے سو بےشک اللہ تعالیٰ سخت سزا دینے واﻻ ہے۔
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.

He made drowsiness overcome you, as a security from Him. And He sent down upon you water from the sky, to cleanse you with it, and to rid you of Satan's pollution, and to fortify your hearts, and to strengthen your foothold.
When He made the slumber fall upon you as a reassurance from him and sent down water from the sky upon you, that thereby He might purify you, and remove from you the fear of Satan, and make strong your hearts and firm (your) feet thereby
When drowsiness covered you as a security from Him, and He sent down upon you from the heavens water to purify you withal, and to take away from you the plague of Satan, and to tie up your hearts and to make firm your footsteps
Recollect when sleep, a sign of security from Him, fell upon you, and he sent down upon you water from Heaven that he might thereby cleanse you, and cause the pollution of Satan to pass from you, and that he might gird up your hearts, and stablish your feet by it
And when He caused sleep to come upon you as a sign of security from Him, and He sent down water upon you from the clouds, that thereby He might purify you, and remove from you the uncleanliness of Satan, and that He might strengthen your hearts and make your steps firm therewith

Your Lord inspired the angels: "I am with you, so support those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. So strike above the necks, and strike off every fingertip of theirs."
When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger
When your Lord inspired the angels - 'Verily, I am with you; make ye firm then those who believe; I will cast dread into the hearts of those who misbelieve,- strike off their necks then, and strike off from them every finger tip
When thy Lord spake unto the angels, "I will be with you: therefore stablish ye the faithful. I will cast a dread into the hearts of the infidels." Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger-tip
When thy Lord revealed to the angels, saying, 'I am with you; so make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Smite them above their necks, and smite off all finger-tips

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 — 0.63 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.
