They swear by God that they are of you. But they are not of you. They are divisive people.

Ata betohen në Allahun se janë me ty, por në të vërtetë ata nuk janë me ty, por janë frikacakë.
আর তারা আল্লাহর নামে শপথ করে যে, নিশ্চয় তারা তোমাদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত; অথচ তারা তোমাদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত নয়। বরং তারা এমন সম্প্রদায় যারা ভয় করে থাকে।
Oni se zaklinju Allahom da su doista vaši, a oni nisu vaši, nego su narod kukavički.

და ისინი (ორპირნი) ალლაჰს იფიცებენ, რომ ნამდვილად თქვენგანნი არიან, მაგრამ ისინი თქვენგანნი არ არიან, არამედ ხალხი რომელთაც ეშინიათ (რომ თქვენ მათ დახოცავთ, ისე როგორც მრავალღმერთიანებს ხოცავთ).
Und sie schwören bei Allah, dass sie wirklich zu euch gehören, jedoch gehören sie nicht zu euch, sondern sind Leute, die ängstlich sind.
Ορκίζονται στον Αλλάχ (οι υποκριτές) ότι είναι από σας, αλλά δεν είναι από σας, αλλά είναι ένας λαός που φοβάται.
और वे (मुनाफ़िक़) अल्लाह की क़सम खाते हैं कि निःसंदेह वे अवश्य तुममें से हैं, हालाँकि वे तुममें से नहीं हैं, परंतु वे ऐसे लोग हैं जो डरते हैं।
Loro giurano su Allāh che sono con voi, ma non lo sono. Loro sono un popolo ipocrita:
56. Jie prisiekia Allahu, kad jie tikrai yra iš jūsų tarpo, nors jie nėra iš jūsų tarpo, tačiau jie yra žmonės (veidmainiai), kurie bijo (kad jūs juos nužudysite).
Isaan dhugumatti isin irraayyi jechuun Rabbiin kakatu; isaan isin irraayii miti, Garuu isaan ummata sodaatanuudha.
Они клянутся Аллахом, что они — из вас, но они не из вас; они — люди, объятые страхом.
Они се заклињу Аллахом да су заиста ваши, а они нису ваши, него су кукавички народ.
Na wanaapa kwa Mwenyezi Mungu kwamba wao ni katika nyinyi, wala wao si katika nyinyi. Lakini wao ni kaumu wanaoogopa mno.
De svär vid Gud att de tillhör er gemenskap, men de står inte med er; så gör det bara för att de fruktar er.
Onlar, sizden olduklarına dair Allah’a yemin ederler. Onlar sizden değillerdir. Aksine onlar korkak bir toplumdur.

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
What prevents the acceptance of their contributions is nothing but the fact that they disbelieved in God and His Messenger, and that they do not approach the prayer except lazily, and that they do not spend except grudgingly.
And naught preventeth that their contributions should be accepted from them save that they have disbelieved in Allah and in His messenger, and they come not to worship save as idlers, and pay not (their contribution) save reluctantly
But nought hinders their alms-giving from being accepted save that they misbelieve in God and His Apostle, and perform not prayer save lazily, and expend not in alms save reluctantly
And nothing hindreth the acceptance of their offerings, but that they believe not in God and His Apostle, and discharge not the duty of prayer but with sluggishness, and make not offerings but with reluctance
And nothing hindreth their contributions from being accepted of them, but that they believe not in God and his apostle, and perform not the duty of prayer, otherwise than sluggishly; and expend not their money for God's service, otherwise than unwillingly

Let neither their possessions nor their children impress you. God intends to torment them through them in this worldly life, and that their souls depart while they are disbelievers.
So let not their riches nor their children please thee (O Muhammad). Allah thereby intendeth but to punish them in the life of the world and that their souls shall pass away while they are disbelievers
Let not their wealth please you nor their children, God only wishes to torment them therewith in the life of this world, and that their souls may pass away while still they misbelieve
Let not, therefore, their riches or their children amaze thee. God is only minded to punish them by means of these, in this life present, and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers
Let not therefore their riches, or their children cause thee to marvel. Verily God intendeth only to punish them by these things in this world; and that their souls may depart while they are unbelievers

The translators word this verse differently
Were they to find a shelter, or a cave, or a hideout, they would go to it, rushing.
Had they but found a refuge, or caverns, or a place to enter, they surely had resorted thither swift as runaways
Could they but have found a refuge, or some caves, or a place in which to creep, they would have turned round in haste thereto
If they find a place of refuge, or caves, or a hiding place, they assuredly turn towards it and haste thereto
If they find a place of refuge, or caves, or a retreating hole, they surely turn towards the same, and in a headstrong manner haste thereto

And among them are those who criticize you in regard to charities. If they are given some of it, they become pleased; but if they are not given any, they grow resentful.
And of them is he who defameth thee in the matter of the alms. If they are given thereof they are content, and if they are not given thereof, behold! they are enraged
Of them are some who defame thee, with respect to alms; though if they are given a part thereof, they are content; and if they are not given a part thereof, then are they in a rage
Some of them also defame thee in regard to the alms; yet if a part be given them, they are content, but if no part be given them, behold, they are angry
There is of them also who spreadeth ill reports of thee, in relation to thy distribution of the alms: Yet if they receive part thereof, they are well pleased; but if they receive not a part thereof, behold, they are angry

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 — 0.42 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.
