Quote:
{43:51} And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, does not the kingdom of Egypt belong to me, and these rivers flowing beneath me; then do you not see?

I suggest,
{43:51} And Pharaoh called out among his people; he said, "O my people, is not for me the kingdom of Egypt, and these rivers running from underneath me; then do you not see?

Quote:
{43:52} Or am I [not] better than this one who is insignificant and hardly makes himself clear?

I suggest,
{43:52} Or am I [not] better than this who is lowly and cannot barely articulate?

Quote:
{43:53} Then why have there not been placed upon him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels in conjunction?"

I suggest,
{43:53} If only have been lavished on him bracelets of gold or come with him the angels conjointly?"

Quote:
{43:54} So he bluffed his people, and they obeyed him. Indeed, they were [themselves] a people defiantly disobedient [of God].

I suggest,
{43:54} So, he trifled his people, and they obeyed him. Verily, they had been a deviant folk.

Quote:
{43:55} And when they angered Us, We took retribution from them and drowned them all.

I suggest,
{43:55} So, when they grieved Us, We revenged from them and drowned them all.

Quote:
{43:56} And We made them a precedent and an example for the later peoples.

Excellent translation.
