"Prandaj, lëvizni lirisht në tokë për katër muaj, por dijeni se nuk mund t'i shpëtoni Allahut dhe se Allahu do t'i poshtërojë jobesimtarët."
অতঃপর তোমরা জমিনে চার মাস বিচরণ করো।(১) আর জেনে রাখো, তোমরা আল্লাহকে অক্ষম করতে পারবে না।(২) আর নিশ্চয় আল্লাহ কাফিরদেরকে অপদস্থকারী।
Putujte po svijetu još četiri mjeseca, ali znajte da Allahu nećete umaći i da će Allah nevjernike osramotiti.
Putujte po svijetu još četiri mjeseca, ali znajte da Allahu nećete umaći i da će Allah nevjernike osramotiti.
Njahee ka leydi lebbi nayi; nganndon pellet, onon o ngonaa ronkinooɓe Alla e won de pellet, Alla ko koynoowo heeferɓe ɓeen.
იმოგზაურეთ (ო, მრავალღმერთიანნო) მიწაზე ოთხი თვის განმავლობაში (როდესაც უსაფრთხოდ იქნებით მორწმუნეთაგან) და იცოდეთ, რომ თქვენ ვერ დაასუსტებთ ალლაჰს (ვერ გადაურჩებით მის სასჯელს) და აგრეთვე იცოდეთ, რომ ალლაჰი შეარცხვენს ურწმუნოებს[1].
So zieht nun im Land vier Monate umher und wisst, dass ihr euch Allah nicht entziehen könnt, und dass Allah die Ungläubigen in Schande stürzt!
Mετακινηθείτε ελεύθερα λοιπόν στη γη (ω, ειδωλολάτρες της Αραβικής Χερσονήσου, που αθετήσατε τις συνθήκες σας με τους Μουσουλμάνους) για τέσσερις μήνες, αλλά να ξέρετε ότι δεν μπορείτε να ξεφύγετε από τον Αλλάχ και ότι ο Αλλάχ θα ταπεινώσει τους άπιστους.
तो (ऐ बहुदेववादियो!) ! तुम धरती में चार महीने चलो-फिरो, तथा जान लो कि निःसंदेह तुम अल्लाह को विवश करने वाले नहीं, और यह कि निश्चय अल्लाह काफ़िरों को अपमानित करने वाला है।
Potrete muovervi liberamente sulla terra per Quattro mesi, e sappiate che non potete sfuggire dalla punizione di Allāh, e in verità Allāh umilierà i miscredenti.
2. Taigi, keliaukite laisvai (Mušrikūn – žr. ają 2:105) keturis mėnesius (kaip jūs panorėsite) per žemę, tačiau žinokite, kad jūs negalite išvengti Allaho (bausmės). Ir Allahas užtrauks gėdą netikintiesiems.
Ji’oota afuriif dachii keessa deemaa, Isin Rabbiin dadhabsiisoo akka hin ta’in beekaa. Rabbiin salphisaa kaafirootaati. [2]
Так странствуйте же по земле четыре месяца и знайте, что вам не избежать [наказания] Аллаха и что Аллах непременно унизит отвергших веру.
“Путујте по свету још четири месеца, али знајте да Аллаху нећете умаћи и да ће Аллах невернике осрамотити."
Basi tembeeni katika ardhi miezi minne, na jueni kwamba nyinyi hamwezi kumshinda Mwenyezi Mungu, na kwamba hakika Mwenyezi Mungu atawahizi makafiri.
Rör er fritt på jorden i fyra månader, men vet att ni inte kan undfly Gud, och att Gud förödmjukar de otrogna.
Yeryüzünde dört ay daha dolaşın. Şunu bilin ki, siz Allah’ı aciz bırakacak değilsiniz. Allah ise, kâfirleri perişan edecektir.
پس (اے مشرکو!) تم ملک میں چار مہینے تک تو چل پھر لو[1] ، جان لو کہ تم اللہ کو عاجز کرنے والے نہیں ہو، اور یہ (بھی یاد رہے) کہ اللہ کافروں کو رسوا کرنے واﻻ ہے۔[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.

The translators word this verse differently
Except for those among the polytheists with whom you had made a treaty, and did not violate any of its terms, nor aided anyone against you. So fulfill the treaty with them to the end of its term. God loves the righteous.
Excepting those of the idolaters with whom ye (Muslims) have a treaty, and who have since abated nothing of your right nor have supported anyone against you. (As for these), fulfil their treaty to them till their term. Lo! Allah loveth those who keep their duty (unto Him)
Except to those of the idolaters with whom ye have made a league, and who then have not failed you at all, and have not backed up any one against you. Fulfill for them then your covenant until the time agreed upon with them; verily, God loves those who fear
But this concerneth not those Polytheists with whom ye are in league, and who shall have afterwards in no way failed you, nor aided anyone against you. Observe, therefore, engagement with them through the whole time of their treaty: for God loveth those who fear Him
Except such of the idolaters with whom ye shall have entered into a league, and who afterwards shall not fail you in any instance, nor assist any other against you. Wherefore perform the covenant which ye shall have made with them, until their time shall be elapsed; for God loveth those who fear him

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 — 0.64 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.
