Nëse ata anojnë drejt paqes, atëherë ano edhe ti drejt saj dhe mbështetju Allahut, se, pa dyshim, Ai është Gjithëdëgjuesi, i Gjithëdijshmi.
আর যদি তারা সন্ধির জন্যে হাত বাড়ায়, তাহলে তুমিও সন্ধির জন্যে হাত বাড়িয়ে দিবে। আর আল্লাহর ওপর তাওয়াক্কুল করো। নিশ্চয় তিনি সর্বশ্রোতা, সর্বজ্ঞ।

Und wenn sie sich dem Frieden zuneigen, dann neige auch du dich ihm zu und verlasse dich auf Allah! Wahrlich, Er ist ja der Allhörende und der Allwissende.
Και αν τείνουν προς την ειρήνη, τότε κλίνε και εσύ προς αυτήν, και εμπιστεύσου τον Αλλάχ. Πράγματι, Αυτός είναι ο Ασ-Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα), ο Αλ-‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
और यदि वे (शत्रु) संधि की ओर झुकें, तो आप भी उसकी ओर झुक जाएँ और अल्लाह पर भरोसा रखें। निःसंदेह वही सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।
Se scelgono la pace, sceglila anche tu e affidati ad Allāh. In verità Lui è l’Ascoltatore, il Sapiente.

Yoo gara araaraatti daban, atis gara isheetti dabi; Rabbi irratti irkadhu, Inni dhaga’aa, argaadha. [13]
И если они склонятся к миру, то склонись к нему и ты, и уповай на Аллаха. Воистину, Он — Слышащий, Знающий.
Ако они буду склони миру, буди и ти склон и поуздај се у Аллаха, а Он је, уистину, Свечујући и Свезнајући.
Na wakiielekea amani, basi nawe pia ielekee, na mtegemee Mwenyezi Mungu. Hakika Yeye ndiye Mwenye kusikia vyema, Mwenye kujua yote.
Och söker de fred, acceptera den då och förlita dig på Gud. Han hör allt, vet allt.
Eğer onlar; barışa yanaşırlarsa, sen de onlara yanaş ve Allah’a tevekkül et. Çünkü O hakkıyla işitendir, hakkıyla bilendir.
اگر وه صلح کی طرف جھکیں تو تو بھی صلح کی طرف جھک جا اور اللہ پر بھروسہ رکھ[1] ، یقیناً وه بہت سننے جاننے 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.

Let not the disbelievers assume that they are ahead. They will not escape.
And let not those who disbelieve suppose that they can outstrip (Allah's Purpose). Lo! they cannot escape
Deem not that those who misbelieve can win; verily, they cannot make (God) powerless
And think not that the infidels shall escape Us! They shall not weaken God
And think not that the unbelievers have escaped God's vengeance, for they shall not weaken the power of God

And prepare against them all the power you can muster, and all the cavalry you can mobilize, to terrify thereby God's enemies and your enemies, and others besides them whom you do not know, but God knows them. Whatever you spend in God's way will be repaid to you in full, and you will not be wronged.
Make ready for them all thou canst of (armed) force and of horses tethered, that thereby ye may dismay the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others beside them whom ye know not. Allah knoweth them. Whatsoever ye spend in the way of Allah it will be repaid to you in full, and ye will not be wronged
Prepare ye against them what force and companies of horse ye can, to make the enemies of God, and your enemies, and others beside them, in dread thereof. Ye do not know them, but God knows them! and whatever ye expend in God's way He will repay you; and ye shall not be wronged
Make ready then against them what force ye can, and strong squadrons whereby ye may strike terror into the enemy of God and your enemy, and into others beside them whom ye know not, but whom God knoweth. All that you shall expend for the cause of God shall be repaid you; and ye shall not be wronged
Therefore prepare against them what force ye are able, and troops of horse, whereby ye may strike a terror into the enemy of God, and your enemy, and into other infidels besides them, whom ye know not, but God knoweth them. And whatsoever ye shall expend in the defence of the religion of God, it shall be repaid unto you, and ye shall not be treated unjustly

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 — 0.61 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.
