مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِأَنْعَـٰمِكُمْ
Mataa'al lakum wali an 'aamikum.
[all this] as a means of livelihood for you and your animals.15
  - Mohammad Asad

Implying (as in {80:24-32}) that man ought to be grateful to God, and should always be conscious of His being the Provider: hence the subsequent return of the discourse to the theme of resurrection and ultimate judgment.

and made them beneficial for you and your cattle.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
all as 'a means of' sustenance for you and your animals.
  - Mustafa Khattab
A provision for you and for your cattle.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
For use and convenience to you and your cattle. 5940
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

This clause I construe to apply to verses 30, 31, and 32 above. Everything on earth has, by Allah's bountiful providence, been arranged to subserve the use and convenience of man and the lower life which depends upon him. The intermediary between Allah's providence and the actual use made of Allah's other gifts is man's own intelligence and initiative, which are also gifts of Allah.
