Quote:
{20:115} And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

I suggest,
{20:115} And We had entrusted Adam previously, but he forgot; and We did not find in him resolve.

Quote:
{20:116} And [mention] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, except Iblees; he refused.

I suggest,
{20:116} And [that was] when We said to the angels, "Prostrate to Adam," and they prostrated, but not Iblees; he refused.

Quote:
{20:117} So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your wife. Then let him not remove you from Paradise so you would suffer.

I suggest,
{20:117} So We said, "O Adam, indeed this is an enemy to you and to your spouse; so, let him not exit the two of you from the Garden lest you [, Adam,] should suffer.

Quote:
{20:119} And indeed, you will not be thirsty therein or be hot from the sun."

I suggest,
{20:119} "And that you will not be thirsty therein nor be hot."
