Lutja e tyre në Shtëpinë e Shenjtë nuk ishte gjë tjetër veçse fishkëllimë dhe rrahje duarsh. Prandaj, shijojeni dënimin për shkak se nuk besonit!
আর কা‘বার কাছে তাদের সালাত শিষ ও হাত-তালি ছাড়া কিছুই না। সুতরাং তোমরা শাস্তি আস্বাদন করো। কারণ তোমরা কুফরী করতে।
Molitva njihova pored Kabe svodi se samo na zviždanje i pljeskanje rukama; zato patnju iskusite jer ne vjerujete.

Juulde maɓɓe nden ka Suudu wonaani, si wonaa guuɗgol e kellugol : "Meeɗiree lepte ɗen sabu ko njeddiratoɗon kon".
და მათი ლოცვა სახლთან [ალ-მასჯიდ ალ-ჰარამთან] მხოლოდ სტვენა და ტაშის დაკვრა იყო. მაშ, იგემეთ სასჯელი იმის გამო, რომ ურწმუნოებას ავლენდით!
Und ihr Gebet beim Haus war ja nur Pfeifen und Klatschen. So kostet nun die Strafe dafür, dass ihr stets ungläubig wart.
Η προσευχή τους (των ειδωλολατρών) στον Ιερό Οίκο δεν ήταν παρά σφύριγμα και παλαμάκια. Γευτείτε λοιπόν την τιμωρία (με θανάτωση και αιχμαλωσία κατά τη μάχη του Μπαντρ) για την απιστία σας.
और उनकी नमाज़ उस घर (काबा) के पास सीटियाँ बजाने और तालियाँ बजाने के सिवा कुछ भी नहीं होती। तो अब अपने कुफ़्र (इनकार) के बदले यातना[16] का स्वाद चखो।
E la loro preghiera nella Casa era di fischi e di battimani: assaggiate la punizione per tutto quello che avete negato.

Salaanni isaanii mana (Ka’abaa) biratti fiiysuu (siiksuu) fi harka dhahuu (shubbisuu) malee waan biraa hin taane, adabbii dhandhamaa waan kakafartan taataniif.
Их молитва у Дома не была ничем иным, кроме свиста и хлопанья в ладоши. Так вкусите же наказание за то, что вы отвергали веру!
Њихова молитва поред Ка'бе своди се само на звиждање и пљескање рукама; зато искусите патњу јер не верујете.
Na hakukuwa kuswalia kwao kwenye hiyo Nyumba (Al-Kaaba) isipokuwa ni kupiga miunzi na makofi. Basi onjeni adhabu kwa vile mlivyokuwa mkikufuru.
Deras bön vid helgedomen var endast visslingar och handklappningar, så känn nu straffet för er otro!
Onların Kâbe’deki namazları, ıslık çalmak ve el çırpmaktan başka bir şey değildir. Öyleyse küfrünüzden dolayı tadın azabı!
اور ان کی نماز کعبہ کے پاس صرف یہ تھی سیٹیاں بجانا اور تالیاں بجانا[1] ۔ سو اپنے کفر کے سبب اس عذاب کا مزه چکھو۔
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.

But God would not punish them while you are amongst them. And God would not punish them as long as they seek forgiveness.
But Allah would not punish them while thou wast with them, nor will He punish them while they seek forgiveness
But God would not torment them while thou art amongst them; nor was God going to torment them while they asked Him to forgive
But God chose not to chastise them while thou wast with them, nor would God chastise them when they sued for pardon
But God would not punish them while thou wast among them, and God would not punish them while they sought forgiveness

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

Those who disbelieve spend their wealth to repel from God's path. They will spend it, then it will become a source of sorrow for them, and then they will be defeated. Those who disbelieve will be herded into Hell.
Lo! those who disbelieve spend their wealth in order that they may debar (men) from the way of Allah. They will spend it, then it will become an anguish for them, then they will be conquered. And those who disbelieve will be gathered unto hell
Verily, those who misbelieve expend their wealth to turn folk from the path of God; but they shall spend it, and then it shall be for them sighing, and then they shall be overcome! Those who misbelieve, into hell shall they be gathered
The infidels spend their riches with intent to turn men aside from the way of God: spend it they shall; then shall sighing be upon them, and then shall they be overcome. And the infidels shall be gathered together into Hell
Surely, those who disbelieve, spend their wealth to turn people away from the way of God. They will surely continue to spend it; but then shall it become a source of regret for them, and then shall they be overcome. And the disbelievers shall be gathered unto Hell

That God may distinguish the bad from the good, and heap the bad on top of one another, and pile them together, and throw them in Hell. These are the losers.

In plain words — none yet for this verse
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.
