Translations of Quran 16:115
EnglishTalal Itani

He has forbidden you carrion, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and anything consecrated to other than Allah. But if anyone is compelled by necessity, without being deliberate or malicious, then Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

He hath forbidden for you only carrion and blood and swineflesh and that which hath been immolated in the name of any other than Allah; but he who is driven thereto, neither craving nor transgressing, lo! then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

O size ancak ölüyü ve kanı ve hınzır etini, bir de Allahın gayrisinin namına kesileni haram kıldı, her kim de muztarr olursa bâğiy ve mütecaviz olmadığı halde, artık şüphe yok ki rabbın gafurdur rahîmdir

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Il vous a défendu de vous nourrir de la chair de bêtes mortes, de sang et de la chair de porc, ainsi que de toute nourriture sur laquelle on aurait invoqué un autre nom que celui de Dieu ; mais. si quelqu’un y est contraint. s’il ne le fait pas comme transgresseur réfléchi et comme rebelle, Dieu est indulgent et miséricordieux ; il le lui pardonnera.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Hij heeft u alleen het gebruik verboden van hetgeen dood is, en bloed en varkensvleesch, en hetgeen in den naam van een ander dan God is gedood. Maar omtrent hem, die door den nood gedwongen werd, van deze dingen te eten en die niet willens of opzettelijk zondigde, zal God zekerlijk genadig en barmhartig zijn.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Vi ha vietato di cibarvi di cadaveri, del sangue, e della carne del majale, e di qualunque alimento su cui si sarebbe invocato altro nome che quel di Dio; ma se alcuno vi è costretto, e che non lo faccia come empio, e trasgressore, Dio è indulgente, e misericordioso; (gli perdonerà).
