Muhammad Asad
O YOU who have attained to faith! Most certainly God will try you by means of the game which may come within the reach of your hands and your weapons [while you are on pilgrimage], so that God might mark out those who fear Him although He is beyond the reach of human perception. And as for him who, after all this, transgresses the bounds of what is right-grievous suffering awaits him
Arthur John Arberry
O believers, God will surely try you with something of the game that your hands and lances attain, that God may know who fears Him in the Unseen. Whoso thereafter commits transgression, there awaits him a painful chastisement
Yusuf Ali (Saudi Rev. 1985)
O ye who believe! Allah doth but make a trial of you in a little matter of game well within reach of game well within reach of your hands and your lances, that He may test who feareth him unseen: any who transgress thereafter, will have a grievous penalty
Arabic
یَـٰۤأَیُّهَا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَیَبۡلُوَنَّكُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِشَیۡءࣲ مِّنَ ٱلصَّیۡدِ تَنَالُهُۥۤ أَیۡدِیكُمۡ وَرِمَاحُكُمۡ لِیَعۡلَمَ ٱللَّهُ مَن یَخَافُهُۥ بِٱلۡغَیۡبِۚ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَ ٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِیمࣱ ٩٤
