﴿وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا وَتَسْتَخْرِجُوا مِنْهُ حِلْيَةً تَلْبَسُونَهَا وَتَرَى الْفُلْكَ مَوَاخِرَ فِيهِ وَلِتَبْتَغُوا مِن فَضْلِهِ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ﴾
[ النحل: 14]
16:14 And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty; and perhaps you will be grateful.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishHe, may He be glorified, is the One Who subjugated the sea for you and enabled you to travel on it and to extract what is in it, so that you can eat the fresh and soft meat of the fish that you catch and that you can extract from it jewellery that you and your wives can wear such as pearls and coral.
You see the ships splitting the waves of the ocean and you travel on these ships in search of Allah's bounty in the form of profit you gain from trade.
All of this is for you to be grateful to Allah for the favours He has given you and to worship Him alone.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And He it is Who has subjected the sea (to you), that you eat thereof fresh tender meat (i.e. fish), and that you bring forth out of it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships ploughing through it, that you may seek (thus) of His Bounty (by transporting the goods from place to place) and that you may be grateful.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
It is He Who has made the sea subject, that ye may eat thereof flesh that is fresh and tender, and that ye may extract therefrom ornaments to wear; and thou seest the ships therein that plough the waves, that ye may seek (thus) of the bounty of Allah and that ye may be grateful.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri

وہی ہے جس نے تمہارے لیے سمندر کو مسخر کر رکھا ہے تاکہ تم اس سے ترو تازہ گوشت لے کر کھاؤ اور اس سے زینت کی وہ چیزیں نکالو جنہیں تم پہنا کرتے ہو تم دیکھتے ہو کہ کشتی سمندر کا سینہ چیرتی ہوئی چلتی ہے یہ سب کچھ اس لیے ہے کہ تم اپنے رب کا فضل تلاش کرو اور اس کے شکر گزار بنو
