وَمَا لَكُمْ أَلَّا تَأْكُلُوا۟ مِمَّا ذُكِرَ ٱسْمُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَقَدْ فَصَّلَ لَكُم مَّا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَا ٱضْطُرِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ ۗ وَإِنَّ كَثِيرًا لَّيُضِلُّونَ بِأَهْوَآئِهِم بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ ۗ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِٱلْمُعْتَدِينَ

Translations of Quran 6:119
EnglishTalal Itani

And why should you not eat of that over which the name of Allah is pronounced, when He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are compelled by necessity? Many lead astray with their opinions, through lack of knowledge. Your Lord knows best the transgressors.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

How should ye not eat of that over which the name of Allah hath been mentioned, when He hath explained unto you that which is forbidden unto you unless ye are compelled thereto. But lo! many are led astray by their own lusts through ignorance. Lo! thy Lord, He is Best Aware of the transgressors.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O size muztarr olduklarınız müstesna olmak üzere harâm kıldığı neler ise ayrı ayrı bildirmiş iken üzerlerine Allah ismi anılmış olanlardan neye yemiyeceksiniz? Evet bir çokları bildiklerinden değil, mücerred hevâlariyle halkı behemehal dalâlete düşürüyorlar, şüphesiz ki Rabbindir o mütecavizleri en ziyade bilen.

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Et pourquoi ne mangeriez-vous pas la nourriture sur laquelle a été prononcé le nom de Dieu, quand Dieu vous a déjà énuméré les aliments qu’il vous interdit, sauf les cas où vous êtes forcés à le faire ? Le plus grand nombre des hommes égarent les autres par leurs passions et sans avoir aucune connaissance à l’appui de ce qu’ils font, mais Dieu connait les transgresseurs.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

En waarom zoudt gij niet eten van datgene, waarover Gods naam is uitgesproken? aangezien hij u duidelijk verklaarde, wat hij u heeft verboden, uitgenomen datgene, waarvan gij genoodzaakt zijt te eten. Sommigen brengen anderen in dwaling, door hunne hartstochten, zonder kennis te bezitten; maar God kent de zondaren.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

E perchè non mangereste il cibo sul quale è stato proferito il nome di Dio, quando Dio vi ha già enumerati gli alimenti che egli v’intordice, meno il caso che siate costretti a mangiarne? La maggior parte degli uommini perde gli altri colle passioni e coll’ignoranza; ma Dio conosce i trasgressori.
