Quote:
{73:15} Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.
I suggest,
{73:15} Verily, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a Messenger.Quote:
{73:16} But Pharaoh disobeyed the messenger, so We seized him with a ruinous seizure.
I think that Ali Ünal's translation of
وبيلا as "calamitous" is closest to the Arabic word. I suggest,
{73:16} But Pharaoh disobeyed the Messenger, so We seized him a calamitous seize.Quote:
{73:17} Then how can you fear, if you disbelieve, a Day that will make the children white-haired?
I suggest,
{73:17} So, how do you ward off, if you disbelieved, a Day that makes children grey-haired?Quote:
{73:18} The heaven will break apart therefrom; ever is His promise fulfilled.
I'd translate
مفعولا directly as "done.",
{73:18} The sky asunder therefrom; ever has been His promise done.Quote:
{73:19} Indeed, this is a reminder, so whoever wills may take to his Lord a way.
I suggest,
{73:19} Verily, this is reminder, so whoever has [so] willed [ought to] have taken for himself toward his Lord a road.
