مَآ أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِتَشْقَىٰٓ
M a anzaln a AAalayka alqur a na litashq a
We did not bestow the Qur'an on thee from on high to make thee unhappy,2
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., the ethical discipline imposed upon man by the teachings of the Qur’an is not meant to narrow down his feel of life, but, on the contrary, to enhance it by deepening his consciousness of right and wrong.

We have not sent down this Qur'an to put you in trouble,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
We have not revealed the Quran to you 'O Prophet' to cause you distress,
  - Mustafa Khattab
We have not revealed unto thee (Muhammad) this Qur'an that thou shouldst be distressed,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
We have not sent down the Qur'an to thee to be (an occasion) for thy distress 2535
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Allah's revelation may cause some human trouble for two reasons: (1) it checks man's selfishness and narrowness of view, and (2) it annoys the wicked and causes them to jeer and persecute. These are mere incidental things, due to man's own shortcomings. As far as the trouble is concerned, the revelation is meant to give a warning, so that persecutors may be reclaimed, (and of course for men of faith it is comfort and consolation, though that point does not arise in this context).
