O Pejgamber! Luftoji jobesimtarët e dyfytyrëshit dhe ji i ashpër ndaj tyre! Vendstrehimi i tyre do të jetë Xhehenemi. Eh, sa vendbanim i keq që është ai!
হে নবী! তুমি কাফির ও মুনাফিকদের বিরুদ্ধে জিহাদ করো এবং তাদের প্রতি কঠোর হও। আর তাদের ঠিকানা হলো জাহান্নাম। আর তা কতই না নিকৃষ্ট প্রত্যাবর্তন স্থল!

ო, მოციქულო! იბრძოლე ურწმუნოთა (მახვილით) და ორპირთა (დასაბუთებით) წინააღმდეგ და იყავი მკაცრი მათთან [როგორც ურწმუნოებთან, ისე ორპირებთან]. მათი (სამუდამო) სამყოფელი იქნება ჯოჯოხეთი, და რა საშინელია ეს დაბრუნება!
O Prophet, mühe dich gegen die Ungläubigen und die Heuchler ab und sei hart gegen sie. Und ihr Zufluchtsort wird die Hölle sein - (und) wie schlimm ist dieser Ausgang!
Ω, Προφήτη! Αγωνίσου ενάντια στους άπιστους και τους υποκριτές, και να είσαι σκληρός απέναντί τους. Και (στη Μέλλουσα Ζωή) η κατοικία τους θα είναι η Κόλαση, και χείριστος είναι, πράγματι, αυτός ο προορισμός.
ऐ नबी! काफ़िरों और मुनाफ़िक़ों से जिहाद करें और उनपर सख़्ती करें। और उनका ठिकाना जहन्नम है और वह बहुत बुरा लौटकर जाने का स्थान है।
O Profeta, lotta contro i miscredenti e gli idolatri, e sii duro con loro. E l’Inferno è la loro ultima dimora e infausto destino!

О Пророк! Борись с отвергшими веру и лицемерами и будь суров с ними. Их прибежище — Геенна, и сколь же ужасен этот исход!
О Веровесниче, бори се против неверника и лицемера и буди строг према њима. Њихово пребивалиште биће Пакао, а ужасно је то крајње одредиште!
Ewe Nabii! Pambana na makafiri na wanafiki, na wawiye mgumu. Na makazi yao ni Jahannamu, na hayo ndiyo marejeo mabaya kabisa!
Profet! Kämpa mot de [öppet] otrogna och de skenbart troende och var sträng mot dem. Deras hemvist är helvetet, vilket fasansfullt slut!
Ey Peygamber! Kâfirlere ve münafıklara karşı cihad et ve onlara karşı çetin ol. Onların varacakları yer Cehennem'dir. Ne kötü bir varış yeridir orası!
اے نبی! کافروں اور منافقوں سے جہاد جاری رکھو[1] ، اور ان پر سخت ہو جاؤ[2] ان کی اصلی جگہ دوزخ ہے، جو نہایت بدترین جگہ ہے۔[3]
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 promises the believers, men and women, gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding therein forever, and fine homes in the Gardens of Eden. But approval from God is even greater. That is the supreme achievement.
Allah promiseth to the believers, men and women, Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they will abide - blessed dwellings in Gardens of Eden. And - greater (far)! - acceptance from Allah. That is the supreme triumph
God has promised to believers, men and women, gardens beneath which rivers flow, to dwell therein for aye; and goodly places in the garden of Eden. But good-will from God is the greatest of all! that is the mighty happiness

They swear by God that they said nothing; but they did utter the word of blasphemy, and they renounced faith after their submission. And they plotted what they could not attain. They were resentful only because God and His Messenger have enriched them out of His grace. If they repent, it would be best for them; but if they turn away, God will afflict them with a painful punishment-in this life and in the Hereafter-and they will have on earth no protector and no savior.
They swear by Allah that they said nothing (wrong), yet they did say the word of disbelief, and did disbelieve after their Surrender (to Allah). And they purposed that which they could not attain, and they sought revenge only that Allah by His messenger should enrich them of His bounty.

They swear by God they did not speak it, but they did speak the word of misbelief; and they disbelieved after they had embraced Islam, and they designed what they could not attain; and they only disapproved it because God and His Apostle had enriched them of His grace. If they turn again 'tis better for them; but if they turn their backs, God will torment them with mighty woe in this world and in the next, nor shall they have upon the earth a patron or protector
They swear by God that they said no such thing: yet spake they the word of infidelity, and from Muslims became unbelievers! They planned what they could not effect; and only disapproved of it because God and His Apostle had enriched them by His bounty! If they repent it will be better for them; but if they fall back into their sin, with a grievous chastisement will God chastise them in this world and the next, and on earth they shall have neither friend nor protector
They swear by God that they said not what they are charged with: Yet they spake the word of infidelity, and became unbelievers, after they had embraced Islam. And they designed that which they could not effect; and they did not disapprove the design for any other reason, than because God and his apostle had inriched them, of his bounty.

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 — 0.59 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.
