Translations of Quran 2:173
EnglishTalal Itani

He has forbidden you carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and what was dedicated to other than Allah. But if anyone is compelled, without desiring or exceeding, he commits no sin. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He hath forbidden you only carrion, and blood, and swineflesh, and that which hath been immolated to (the name of) any other than Allah. But he who is driven by necessity, neither craving nor transgressing, it is no sin for him. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

o size yalnız şunları haram kıldı: meyte, kan, hınzır eti, bir de Allahın gayrisinin namına kesilen; sonra kim bunlardan yemeğe muztar kalırsa diğerin hakkına tecavüz etmemek ve zaruret mıkdarını geçmemek şartile ona da günah yükletilmez, çünkü Allah gafur, rahîmdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Il vous est interdit de manger les animaux morts, le sang, la chair de porc, et tout animal sur lequel on aura invoqué un autre nom que celui de Dieu. Celui qui le ferait, contraint par la nécessité, et non comme rebelle et transgresseur, ne sera pas coupable. Dieu est indulgent et miséricordieux.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Er is u verboden, doode dieren, bloed, varkensvleesch en elk dier te eten, waarover men een anderen naam dan dien van God heeft aangeroepen. Maar hij die gedwongen, onvrijwillig of zonder boos opzet daarvan geniet, zal geene zonde begaan hebben; want God is genadig en barmhartig.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Vi è proibito di mangiare animali morti, il sangue, la carne del porco, e qualunque animale sul quale si sarà invocato altro nome che quello di Dio. Colui che lo facesse, costretto dalla necessità, e non come ribelle e trasgressore, non sarà colpevole. Dio è indulgente e misericordioso.
