Quote:
{34:15} There was for [the tribe of] Saba' in their dwelling place a sign: two [fields of] gardens on the right and on the left. [They were told], "Eat from the provisions of your Lord and be grateful to Him. A good land [have you], and a forgiving Lord."

I suggest,
{34:15} There was for [the people of] Sheba in their dwelling a sign: two gardens by the right and by the left. [They were told,] "Eat from the provision of your Lord and offer thanks to Him; a good town and a forgiving Lord."

Quote:
{34:16} But they turned away [refusing], so We sent upon them the flood of the dam, and We replaced their two [fields of] gardens with gardens of bitter fruit, tamarisks and something of sparse lote trees.

I suggest,
{34:16} Then they turned aside (were ungrateful), so We sent upon them the Arim flood, and We substituted for their two gardens two [other] gardens having bitter esculents, tamarisk and a bit of few lote-trees.

Quote:
{34:17} [By] that We repaid them because they disbelieved. And do We [thus] repay except the ungrateful?

I suggest,
{34:17} [By] that We requited them because they disbelieved. And do We requite but the ungrateful?
