Quote:
{27:48} And there were in the city nine family heads causing corruption in the land and not amending [its affairs].

I suggest,
{27:48} And there were in the city a gang of nine corrupting in the land and not fixing.

Quote:
{27:49} They said, "Take a mutual oath by God that we will kill him by night, he and his family. Then we will say to his executor, 'We did not witness the destruction of his family, and indeed, we are truthful.' "

I suggest,
{27:49} They said, "You all swear by God that we will attack him by night and his family, then we will say to his next-of-kin, 'We did not witness the demise of his family and we surely are truthful.' "

Quote:
{27:50} And they planned a plan, and We planned a plan, while they perceived not.

I suggest,
{27:50} And they plotted a scheme and We plotted a scheme, while they did not perceive [it].

Quote:
{27:53} And We saved those who believed and used to fear God.

I suggest,
{27:53} And We rescued those who believed and have been watching out [for God].
