And beware of discord which does not afflict the wrongdoers among you exclusively; and know that God is severe in retribution.

Ruajuni dënimit, i cili nuk i godet vetëm keqbërësit nga mesi juaj dhe dijeni se Allahu është i rreptë në ndëshkim!
আর তোমরা ভয় করো ফিতনাকে যা তোমাদের মধ্যকার বিশেষভাবে শুধু যালিমদের ওপরই আপতিত হবে না।(১০) আর জেনে রাখো, নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ শাস্তি প্রদানে কঠোর।
I čuvajte se iskušenja koja neće pogoditi samo one među vama koji su nepravdu činili, i znajte da Allah strašno kažnjava.
I čuvajte se iskušenja koja neće pogoditi samo one među vama koji su nepravdu činili, i znajte da Allah strašno kažnjava.
Ndentee e bone tawɗo o memataa tooñuɓe ɓeen e mooɗon tan. Nganndee pellet, Alla ko caɗtuɗo lepte.
და გეშინოდეთ (ო, მორწმუნენო) განსაცდელის[1], რომელიც მხოლოდ იმათ კი არ შეეხებათ, ვინც უსამართლოა თქვენ შორის [უბედურება შეეხება როგორც მართალთ, ისე ცოდვილთ]. და იცოდეთ, რომ ალლაჰი ძლიერია სასჯელში.
Und hütet euch vor einer Versuchung, die nicht nur besonders diejenigen von euch treffen wird, die Unrecht taten. Und wisset, dass Allah streng im Bestrafen ist!
Φυλαχθείτε από μία δοκιμασία που δε θα πέσει μόνο στους άδικους ανάμεσά σας (αλλά θα πέσει και στους ενάρετους αν ήταν σε θέση να κατακρίνουν και να αλλάξουν την αδικία, αλλά δεν το έκαναν) και να ξέρετε ότι ο Αλλάχ είναι Αυστηρός στην τιμωρία.
तथा उस फ़ितने से बचो, जो तुममें से विशेष रूप से अत्याचारियों ही पर नहीं आएगा और जान लो कि अल्लाह कड़ी यातना[11] देने वाला है।
E temete la discordia, che potrebbe non colpire solo i colpevoli tra voi. E sappiate che in verità Allāh è severo nel punire.
25. Ir bijokite Fitna (vargų ir išbandymų), kurie paliečia ne tik tuos iš jūsų, kurie daro bloga (tačiau jie gali paliesti visus gerus ir blogus žmones), ir žinokite, kad Allahas yra Rūstus bausmėje.
Rakkoo (Fitnaa) isin irraa warra miidhaa hojjatan qofa kophaatti hin tuqne (ta nama nagayaaa hunda walgeessu) sodaadhaa. Rabbiin adabbiin isaa cimaadhaa beekaa.
И бойтесь смуты, которая непременно постигнет не только тех из вас, которые поступали несправедливо. И знайте, что Аллах суров в возмездии.
И чувајте се искушења која неће да погоде само оне међу вама који су чинили неправду, и знајте да Аллах страшно кажњава.
Na jikingeni kutokana na mtihani ambao hautawasibu wale waliodhulumu pekee miongoni mwenu. Na jueni kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mkali wa kuadhibu.
Och akta er för ett straff som inte enbart drabbar de orättfärdiga bland er. Vet att Gud verkligen straffar med stränghet.
İçinizden sadece zalimlere dokunmakla kalmayacak olan bir fitneden de sakının. Allah’ın azabının çok şiddetli olduğunu bilin!
اور تم ایسے وبال سے بچو! کہ جو خاص کر صرف ان ہی لوگوں پر واقع نہ ہو گا جو تم میں سے ان گناہوں کے مرتکب ہوئے ہیں[1] اور یہ جان رکھو کہ اللہ 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.
shown so it's never read alone

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 — 0.67 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.
