The translators word this verse differently
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.
Unless you mobilize, He will punish you most painfully, and will replace you with another people, and you will not harm Him at all. God has power over all things.

Nëse nuk dilni në luftë, Ai do t'ju dënojë me një dënim të dhembshëm dhe do t'ju zëvendësojë me një popull tjetër. Ju nuk mund t'i bëni asnjë dëm Atij, sepse Allahu është i Plotfuqishëm për çdo gjë.
যদি তোমরা যুদ্ধে বের না হও, তিনি তোমাদের যন্ত্রণাদায়ক শাস্তি দিবেন এবং তোমাদের পরিবর্তে অন্য এক জাতিকে নিয়ে আসবেন। বস্তুত তোমরা তাঁর কোনোই ক্ষতি সাধন করতে পারবে না। আর আল্লাহ সব কিছুর ওপর ক্ষমতাবান।
Ako ne budete u boj išli, On će vas na nesnosne muke staviti i drugim će vas narodom zamijeniti, a vi Mu nećete nimalo nauditi. A Allah sve može.

თუ არ გაილაშქრებთ (თქვენი მტრების წინააღმდეგ), იგი დაგტანჯავთ მტანჯველი სასჯელით (ამქვეყნადაც და მარადიულ ცხოვრებაში) და შეგცვლით თქვენ სხვა ხალხით (რომელნიც იქნებიან მისი და მისი შუამავლის მორჩილნი), და ვერაფერს ავნებთ მას. და ალლაჰი ყოვლისშემძლეა.
Wenn ihr nicht ausrückt, wird Er euch mit schmerzhafter Strafe bestrafen und euch durch ein anderes Volk ersetzen, und ihr (könnt) Ihm keinerlei Schaden zufügen. Und Allah hat zu allem die Macht.
Εάν δε βγείτε (ω, πιστοί, για να αγωνίζεστε στο δρόμο του Αλλάχ), (ο Αλλάχ) θα σας τιμωρήσει με μία οδυνηρή τιμωρία και θα σας αντικαταστήσει με έναν άλλον (υπάκουο) λαό, και δε θα Τον βλάψετε στο ελάχιστο (με το να παρακούτε την εντολή Του). Πράγματι, ο Αλλάχ είναι για τα πάντα Ικανός.
यदि तुम नहीं निकलोगे, तो वह तुम्हें दर्दनाक यातना देगा और तुम्हारे स्थान पर दूसरे लोगों को ले आएगा और तुम उसे कोई हानि नहीं पहुँचा सकोगे। और अल्लाह हर चीज़ पर सर्वशक्तिमान है।
Se non emigrate e combattete, Allāh vi punirà duramente e vi sostituirà con altri, ma voi non potete farGli del male in nessun modo: Allāh è Onnipotente.
39. Jei jūs nežygiuosite, Jis nubaus jus skausminga kančia ir pakeis jus kitais žmonėmis. O jūs negalite Jam niekaip pakenkti. Ir Allahas Gali padaryti viską.

Если вы не выступите, Он подвергнет вас мучительному наказанию и заменит вас другим народом, помимо вас, и вы ничем не навредите Ему. Аллах всемогущ над всем сущим.
Ако не будете ишли у бој, Он ће да вас стави на несносне муке и другим ће народом да вас замени, а ви нећете нимало да Му наудите. А Аллах има моћ над свим.
Kama hamuendi, atawaadhibu adhabu chungu, na atawabadilisha na kaumu wasiokuwa nyinyi, wala nyinyi hamtamdhuru chochote. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Muweza wa kila kitu.
Om ni inte går ut i strid ska han utsätta er för ett plågsamt straff och byta ut er mot ett annat folk, och ni kan inte skada honom det minsta. Gud har makt över allt.
Eğer savaşa çıkmazsanız, Allah sizi acıklı bir azapla cezalandırır ve yerinize de başka bir toplum getirir. O’na herhangi bir zarar da veremezsiniz. Allah’ın her şeye gücü yeter.
اگر تم نے کوچ نہ کیا تو تمہیں اللہ تعالیٰ دردناک سزا دے گا اور تمہارے سوا اور لوگوں کو بدل ﻻئے گا، تم اللہ تعالی کو کوئی نقصان نہیں پہنچا سکتے[1] اور اللہ ہر چیز پر قادر 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.
shown so it's never read alone

Postponement is an increase in disbelief-by which those who disbelieve are led astray. They allow it one year, and forbid it another year, in order to conform to the number made sacred by God, thus permitting what God has forbidden. The evil of their deeds seems good to them. God does not guide the disbelieving people.
Postponement (of a sacred month) is only an excess of disbelief whereby those who disbelieve are misled; they allow it one year and forbid it (another) year, that they may make up the number of the months which Allah hath hallowed, so that they allow that which Allah hath forbidden. The evil of their deeds is made fairseeming unto them. Allah guideth not the disbelieving folk
Verily, putting off is but an increase in misbelief to lead astray therewith those who misbelieve. They make it lawful one year, but they make it unlawful another year, that they may come to an understanding as to the number which God has made sacred, and make lawful what God has prohibited. Seemly to them are their evil works, but God guides not a misbelieving people
To carry over a sacred month to another, is only a growth of infidelity. The Infidels are led into error by it. They allow it one year, and forbid it another, that they may make good the number of months which God hath hallowed, and they allow that which God hath prohibited. The evil of their deeds hath been prepared for them by Satan: for God guideth not the people who do not believe
Verily the transferring of a sacred month to another month, is an additional infidelity. The unbelievers are led into an error thereby: They allow a month to be violated one year, and declare it sacred another year, that they may agree in the number of months which God hath commanded to be kept sacred; and they allow that which God hath forbidden. The evil of their actions hath been prepared for them: For God directeth not the unbelieving people

If you do not help him, God has already helped him, when those who disbelieved expelled him, and he was the second of two in the cave. He said to his friend, "Do not worry, God is with us." And God made His tranquility descend upon him, and supported him with forces you did not see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the Word of God is the Highest. God is Mighty and Wise.
If ye help him not, still Allah helped him when those who disbelieve drove him forth, the second of two; when they two were in the cave, when he said unto his comrade: Grieve not. Lo! Allah is with us. Then Allah caused His peace of reassurance to descend upon him and supported him with hosts ye cannot see, and made the word of those who disbelieved the nethermost, while Allah's Word it was that became the uppermost. Allah is Mighty, Wise
Unless ye help him - and God did help him, when those who misbelieved drove him forth the second of two. When they twain were in the cave; when he said to his comrade, 'Grieve not, verily, God is with us;' and God sent down His shechina upon him, and aided him with hosts ye could not see, and made the word of those who misbelieved inferior, and the word of God superior; for God is mighty and wise
If ye assist not your Prophet . . . God assisted him formerly, when the unbelievers drove him forth, in company with a second only! when they two were in the cave; when the Prophet said to his companion, "Be not distressed; verily, God is with us." And God sent down His tranquillity upon him, and strengthened him with hosts ye saw not, and made the word of those who believed not the abased, and the word of God was the exalted: for God is Mighty, Wise
If ye assist not the prophet, verily God will assist him, as he assisted him formerly, when the unbelievers drove him out of Mecca, the second of two: When they were both in the cave; when he said unto his companion, be not grieved, for God is with us. And God sent down his security upon him, and strenghtened him with armies of angels, whom ye saw not. And He made the word of those who believed not, to be abased, and the word of God was exalted; for God is mighty and wise

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.
