{9:115} And God would not let a people stray after He has guided them until He makes clear to them what they should avoid. Indeed, God is Knowing of all things.

Excellent translation, especially "avoid". It's the exact word I had in mind :) I'd only change the last sentence to "Verily, God is of everything quite knowledgeable."

Quote:
{9:116} Indeed, to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He gives life and causes death. And you have not besides God any protector or any helper.

Good translation, except for "protector" which translates مولى, not ولي, so I suggest,
{9:116} Verily, to God belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; He gives life and causes death. And you have not besides God any ally nor helper.
