{48:22} And if those [Makkans] who disbelieve had fought you, they would have turned their backs [in flight]. Then they would not find a protector or a helper.

The interjection "Makkans" makes specific what is general. I suggest,
{48:22} And if those who have disbelieved had fought you, they would have turned their backs [in flight]. Then they would not find an ally nor a helper.

Quote:
{48:23} [This is] the established way of God which has occurred before. And never will you find in the way of God any change.

The word تبديل means a total change, not a change. I suggest,
{48:23} [This is] the way of God which has occurred before. And never will you find of the way of God a replacement.
