{2:133} Or were you witnesses when death approached Jacob, when he said to his sons, "What will you worship after me?" They said, "We will worship your God and the God of your fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."

I suggest,
{2:133} Or were you witnesses as death arrived to Jacob, as he said to his sons, "What do you worship after me?" They said, "We worship your God and the God of your fathers: Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac - one God. And we are to him Muslims."

Quote:
{2:134} That was a nation which has passed on. It will have [the consequence of] what it earned, and you will have what you have earned. And you will not be asked about what they used to do.

I suggest,
{2:134} That is a community already passed on. For it is what it earned, and for you is what you earned. And you are not asked about what they were doing.
