But God would not punish them while you are amongst them. And God would not punish them as long as they seek forgiveness.

Por, Allahu nuk do t'i dënojë ata përderisa ti (o Muhamed) je në mesin e tyre dhe Allahu nuk do t'i dënojë ata përderisa kërkojnë falje.
আর আল্লাহ এমন নন যে, তুমি তাদের মধ্যে থাকাবস্থায় তিনি তাদেরকে শাস্তি দিবেন।(১১) আর আল্লাহ তাদেরকে শাস্তিদানকারীও নন, এমতাবস্থায় যে, তারা ক্ষমা প্রার্থনা করছে।
Allah ih i nije kaznio dok si ti među njima bio; i Allah ih neće kazniti sve dok oni za oprost mole.
Allah ih nije kaznio dok si ti među njima bio; i Allah ih neće kazniti sve dok oni za oprost mole.
Alla wonaani leptoowo ɓe, hara an haɗa hakkunde maɓɓe. Alla siforaalni leptoowo ɓe, hara kamɓe heɓe imsinaade.
და არ არის ალლაჰი ისეთი, რომ დასაჯოს ისინი, როცა შენ (ო, მოციქულო) მათ შორის ხარ; და არც ისეთია, რომ დასაჯოს ისინი, როცა ისინი ალლაჰს მიტევებას სთხოვენ[1].
Und Allah würde sie nimmer strafen, solange du unter ihnen bist; und Allah würde sie (auch) nimmer strafen, solange sie um Vergebung bitten.
Δε θα τους τιμωρούσε ο Αλλάχ ενώ εσύ (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) είσαι ανάμεσά τους, και δε θα τους τιμωρούσε ο Αλλάχ ενώ ζητούν συγχώρεση (οι Μουσουλμάνοι που βρίσκονται ανάμεσά τους στη Μάκκα).
और अल्लाह कभी ऐसा नहीं कि उनमें आपके होते हुए उन्हें यातना दे, और अल्लाह उन्हें कभी यातना देने वाला नहीं, जब कि वे क्षमा याचना करते हों।
E Allāh non voleva punirli mentre eri tra di loro e Allāh non lo farà mentre chiedono perdono.
33. Ir Allahas nebaustų jų tol, kol tu (Muchammedai ﷺ) esi tarp jų, nei Jis baus juos, kol jie prašys (Allaho) Atleidimo.
Rabbiinis odoo ati isaan keessa jirtuu kan isaan adabu hin taane, Ammas Rabbiin odoo isaan araarama kadhatanuu kan isaan adabu hin taane.
Но Аллах не станет наказывать их, пока ты среди них. И Аллах не станет наказывать их, пока они просят прощения.
Аллах их и није казнио док си ти био међу њима; и Аллах неће да их казни све док они моле за опрост.
Na Mwenyezi Mungu hakuwa wa kuwaadhibu hali ya kuwa uko miongoni mwao, na Mwenyezi Mungu hakuwa mwenye kuwaadhibu hali ya kuwa wanaomba msamaha.
Men Gud skulle inte straffa dem medan du är bland dem, och Gud skulle inte straffa dem medan de söker förlåtelse.
Oysa sen onların içinde iken, Allah onlara azap edecek değildir. Onlar istiğfar edip dururken de Allah onları azablandıracak değildir.
اور اللہ تعالیٰ ایسا نہ کرے گا کہ ان میں آپ کے ہوتے ہوئے ان کو عذاب دے[1] اور اللہ ان کو عذاب نہ دے گا اس حالت میں کہ وه استغفار بھی کرتے ہوں۔[2]
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.

And when Our revelations are recited to them, they say, "We have heard. Had we wanted, we could have said the like of this; these are nothing but myths of the ancients."
And when Our revelations are recited unto them they say: We have heard. If we wish we can speak the like of this. Lo! this is naught but fables of the men of old
But when our verses were rehearsed to them they said, 'We have already heard.- If we pleased we could speak like this; verily, this is nothing but tales of those of yore

And they said, "Our God, if this is the truth from You, then rain down on us stones from the sky, or visit us with a painful affliction."
And when they said: O Allah! If this be indeed the truth from Thee, then rain down stones on us or bring on us some painful doom

Yet why should God not punish them, when they are turning others away from the Sacred Mosque, although they are not its custodians? Its rightful custodians are the pious; but most of them do not know.
What (plea) have they that Allah should not punish them, when they debar (His servants) from the Inviolable Place of Worship, though they are not its fitting guardians. Its fitting guardians are those only who keep their duty to Allah. But most of them know not
But what ails them that God should not torment them while they turn folk away from the Holy Mosque, though they are not the guardians thereof - its guardians are only the pious?- but most of them know not
But because they debarred the faithful from the holy temple, albeit they are not its guardians, nothing is there on their part why God should not chastise them. The Godfearing only are its guardians; but most of them know it not
And what excuse have they now that God should not punish them, when they hinder men from the Sacred Mosque, and they are not its true guardians? Its true guardians are only those who are righteous, but most of them know not

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.
