Marked words appear in this translation and in no other English translation of this verse. Common small words and older spellings are not marked. The marks show where the wording differs, not where the meaning does.
When you appealed to your Lord for help, He answered you, "I am reinforcing you with one thousand angels in succession."

Kur kërkuat ndihmë nga Zoti juaj (në Bedër) e Ai ju përgjigj: "Unë do t'ju mbështes me një mijë melekë që vijnë njëri pas tjetrit."
তোমরা স্মরণ করো, যখন তোমরা তোমাদের রবের নিকটে সহযোগিতার প্রার্থনা করছিলে, অতঃপর তিনি তোমাদের ডাকে সাড়া দিয়েছিলেন যে, অবশ্যই আমি তোমাদেরকে ধারাবাহিকভাবে একের পর এক আগমনকারী এক হাজার ফিরিশতা দিয়ে সাহায্য করবো।’
I kada ste od Gospodara svoga spas zatražili, On vam se odazvao: "Poslat ću vam u pomoć hiljadu meleka koji će jedni za drugima dolaziti."
I kada ste od Gospodara svoga spas zatražili, On vam se odazvao: "Poslat ću vam u pomoć tisuću anđela koji će jedni za drugima dolaziti."

და როცა (ბადრის ბრძოლის დღეს) დახმარებას სთხოვდით თქვენს უფალს, და მან გიპასუხათ სიტყვებით: «ჭეშმარიტად, მე დაგეხმარებით ათასი ანგელოზით, რომლებიც ერთმანეთის მიყოლებით ჩამოდიან (ზეციდან)!»
(Gedenke,) als ihr euren Herrn um Hilfe anrieft und Er euch erhörte (und sagte): „Ich werde euch gewiss mit tausend von den Engeln unterstützen, hintereinander folgend.“
(Θυμηθείτε, ω, πιστοί, κατά τη μάχη του Μπαντρ) όταν ζητήσατε βοήθεια από τον Κύριό σας και έτσι ανταποκρίθηκε στις επικλήσεις σας (λέγοντας): «Θα σας ενισχύσω με χίλιους αγγέλους, που θα ακολουθούν ο ένας τον άλλον.»
जब तुम अपने पालनहार से (बद्र के युद्ध के समय) मदद माँग रहे थे, तो उसने तुम्हारी प्रार्थना स्वीकार कर ली कि निःसंदेह मैं एक हज़ार फ़रिश्तों के साथ तुम्हारी सहायता करने वाला हूँ, जो एक-दूसरे के पीछे आने वाले हैं।[4]
Quando avete implorato il vostro Dio, Lui vi ha esaudito: «Vi darò un migliaio di angeli in file serrate!»

И када сте од свога Господара затражили спас, Он вам се одазвао: „Послаћу вам у помоћ хиљаду анђела који ће једни за другим да долазе.“

Hani siz Rabbinizden imdat istiyordunuz da: “Muhakkak Ben size birbiri ardınca bin melek ile yardım ediyorum” diye duanıza karşılık vermişti.
اس وقت کو یاد کرو جب کہ تم اپنے رب سے فریاد کررہے تھے، پھر اللہ تعالیٰ نے تمہاری سن لی کہ میں تم کو ایک ہزار فرشتوں سے مدد دوں گا جو لگاتار چلے آئیں گے۔[1]
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.

God has promised you one of the two groups-that it would be yours-but you wanted the unarmed group to be yours. God intends to prove the truth with His words, and to uproot the disbelievers.
And when Allah promised you one of the two bands (of the enemy) that it should be yours, and ye longed that other than the armed one might be yours. And Allah willed that He should cause the Truth to triumph by His words, and cut the root of the disbelievers
and when God promised you that one of the two troops should be yours, and ye would fain have had those who had no arms. God wished to prove the truth true by His words, and to cut off the hindermost parts of those who misbelieve
And remember when God promised you that one of the two troops should fall to you, and ye desired that they who had no arms should fall to you: but God purposed to prove true the truth of his words, and to cut off the uttermost part ofthe infidels
And remember when God promised you one of the two parties that it should be yours, and you wished that the one unarmed should be yours, but God desired to establish the Truth by His words and to cut off the root of the disbelievers

The translators word this verse differently
In order to confirm the truth and nullify falsehood, even though the guilty dislike it.
That He might cause the Truth to triumph and bring vanity to naught, however much the guilty might oppose
to prove the truth true, and to make vain the vain, although the sinners are averse
That he might prove his truth to be the truth, and bring to nought that which is nought, though the impious were averse to it
That He might establish the Truth and bring to naught that which is false, although the guilty may dislike it

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 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

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 — 0.53 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.
