{36:13} And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it -

I suggest,
{36:13} And strike for them an example: The fellows of a the village when came to it the messengers.

Quote:
{36:15} They said, "You are not but human beings like us, and the Beneficent has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies."

I suggest,
{36:15} They said, "You are not but humans like us, and the Beneficent has not sent down a thing. You are but lying."

Quote:
{36:17} And we are not responsible except for clear notification."

I suggest,
{36:17} "And there is not upon us but clear notice."

Quote:
{36:18} They said, "Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment."

I suggest,
{36:18} They said, "Verily, we are jinxed by you. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful torment."

Quote:
{36:19} They said, "Your omen is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people."

I suggest,
{36:19} They said, "Your jinx is with you. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are an excessive folk."
