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. |
